While most of the world uses the metric system, the United States is still using what is referred to as the 'U.S. Standard' system for measurement. This causes a lot of frustration when recipes are shared between people from different countries.

Well, who really knows this but I like this explanation sent to me by a visitor to this website: "Alistair Cooke stated in his 1980s television series "The Story of English" that Americans purposely pronounced every letter of every word on purpose to differentiate themselves from the English. He stated somewhere that we changed our forks to our right hands prior to the Revolution as a sign the the eater was a rebel. Also to be different from the British." See similar questions...

We call more than one recipe for the same dish a collection and we mark them in a special way: It should be followed with the word Collection and the number of recipes. An example: We do this since many people do not want collections and kill them unread. If you object to collections, please do not read them. Some newsreaders have limitations on the size of a single post. See similar questions...

These are the "old" USDA recipes which were replaced by USDA in July 2006. There is likely another recipe with the same name, that has "USDA" next to it, and the recipe number starts with a "5". This is the new replacement recipe number. When you run the CD, if it finds an "old" recipe on one of your menus, it keeps it and also adds the new one. You can easily replace old ones with new ones by choosing "Search and Replace Menu Item" from the "Menus" tab. See similar questions...

first we suggest that you keep it simple. Just prepare separate protein, grain, vegetable, fruit, and/or dairy portions.

Experience is the best teacher. A good rule of thumb to follow is to decrease the length of cooking time for a conventional recipe by two thirds. The amount of liquid used may also have to be adjusted because there is very little evaporation from the pressure cooker. Generally, decrease the amount of liquid so there is only about 1/2 cup more than desired in the finished product. See similar questions...

We review virtually hundreds of recipes and test at least four recipes for every one that makes it to our menu. This process is a full time job and we have a separate kitchen fully dedicated to this activity. Recipes are one of our most important intellectual properties. Just like a trade mark, patent, business formula or trading policy, it is something that remains guarded and protected. As such, we regret that we See similar questions...
