Counterfeit Veal
A chicken in every pot, that was Herbert Hoover’s campaign promise. He would bail the country out of the Depression and return it to prosperity. Only the rich ate chicken then. Diners complained restaurants served counterfeit chicken, veal. It’s hard to believe that every grocery store’s loss leader today was once synonymous with luxury.
Today’s factory farming has changed all that. Every month or two, somebody practically gives away whole body fryers just to get you in their store. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts sell for less than ground beef, and offer a palette to sketch a gallery of gourmet delights.
Bake them. Broil them. Barbecue them. Treat chickens as if they were still expensive and they will taste like they still are. Give up deep-fried and chicken-fried. Take a step beyond fast food, for a grown-up taste sensation.
Reasons For Using a Hot Air Popper
Why use a hot air popper
Popcorn is the best snack there is, period. It’s tasty, high in fibers and you can season it with everything from butter and salt to Parmesan. The introduction of the microwave has meant more for popcorn than for any other food, and most of us satisfy our popcorn cravings by just preparing a bag of Pop Secret. But microwave popcorn does have its downsides: it’s high in calories and relatively pricey.
Where microwave popcorn poppers usually use oil, hot air poppers allow completely oil-free use. As you would have guessed, these poppers use hot air to pop the kernels.
Some hot air poppers can throw out very hot kernels during the first phase, so you have to be careful. To avoid this, hold the popper at an angle for the first thirty seconds and set it down again when the first kernels have popped.
