By using “Blue Magic” metal polish we purchased at Farm & Fleet, we used a stainless steel cleaner such as Bar Keeper’s Friend and finished it with Blue Magic polish. We used a scrubbie sponge such as Chore Boy on the rough side and got as much off as possible. Then using a clean soft cotton cloth, we polished it by rubbing it in. Voila! Good as new!
By the way, the bottom picture is a reflection of taking the picture, not more burnt pan!
When you receive your cookware for the first time and take it out of the box, make sure to immerse it in hot soapy water with 1 C white vinegar . Scrub well all over with a sponge. It takes the manufacturing oil off along with the polishing compounds used to make it shiny and new! Once you do this, you will never have to do it again. If you don’t do this and you heat your cookware, it will turn a golden yellow and things will tend to stick to it.
Happy Valentine’s Day!

The pleasure is mine. I’m going to share with you at least 2 recipes that I do and are easy and good. The chicken is the only one that might have hispanic products but they are easy to find. I cook low sodium due to hbp and this chicken is the bomb. I will post to you here and you can post it there in your blog. Ive done pizza but regular dough that i make. Count on me with your blog. Inwill start sharing it with my friend in Puerto rico. Have a good night.
Here is my recipe. You have to make it and taste it. Let me know how much you like it.
Here is my chicken recipe. (She calls it Spanish Pollo al caldero. )
Ingredients
-1 whole chicken cut in pieces
– Chicken bouillon*
-6 Spanish olives**
-Sprinkle some of 1 envelope of Sazón Goya***
-1/2 tsp of Oregano
-1/2 tsp of cumin
-Roasted red peppers (pimiento morrón) and some of its juice.
– Onion
-Balsamic vinegar
-Bay leaves
-1 tsp of fresh garlic
– Few leaves of fresh cilantro (optional)
Directions
◦ Cut the chicken into pieces and put it in a bowl with water, white vinegar and some salt. Rub it and rinse it. It is just the take out the greasy feeling from it.
◦ Preheat the skillet at 350. I would add some water or a tsp of olive oil even though while cooking it will release fat and water. So this can be optional. I do it so the chicken wont stick on the skillet.
◦ I don’t seasoned the chicken because of my hbp but once the chicken is in the skillet I add over it the garlic, spread oregano, cumin, some sazon for color and it has salt too so just a bit, but you can use paprika instead, some roasted red peppers and some of its juice, 3 bay leaves, like 6 olives cut in pieces, some onion and 1/2 chicken bouillon. You can add the entire bouillon because for you it might be under salt. Maybe you feel that all the juices where the chicken is cooking will feel salty but since the chicken is not seasoned it will be good.
◦ Let it boil a few minutes, turn over the pieces and add balsamic vinegar as much as you like. I normally add like 1/4 c or less.
◦ Put the lid on and lower the heat to simmer. I even put it a little less than simmer and it has cooked great too.
◦ I haven’t taken the time of cooking. I just let it cook and check like every 30 minutes to see if the water in it hasn’t dried out and turn the chicken over again. And of course taste the juice of the chicken. You will notice that the chicken, when done, will be so tender that the bone will come out without any effort.
Making turkey on Thanksgiving is so easy when you have the right equipment. I can’t believe that my roaster is older than 30 years and still looks brand new. The first turkey I ever made stayed in the oven for 4 hours longer than it should have. It fell off the bone and I had so much gravy in the pan we couldn’t use it all! I decided to go for a horseback ride on a horse named Pantyhose. She was a great girl, spirited since I hadn’t ridden her all year-up until Thanksgiving Day, when I made my first turkey. I took her out to the cornfield where the wind was howling and blowing and spooking her. I tried to dive off, got my foot stuck in the stirrup and landed hard on the ground. Lucky for me she took off (with my shoe) and I stayed where I was. She ended up at home and John came looking for me. Yep, I broke my collarbone and spent time in the emergency room and got it taken care of. Took awhile since it was a holiday and not many personnel in the emergency room just waiting for disaster to strike! What an experience, but I learned you can’t ruin your dinner if it cooks too long! Loved that horse.
