Does Dry Cooking Sherry Need to Be Refrigerated After Opening?

Dry cooking sherry has a light, but rich, flavor that pairs well with pork, poultry and seafood. Just a few tablespoons enriches soups, stews and sauces. Dry cooking sherry lasts longer than other types of wine, but it isn't invincible. The better the wine, the faster you should use it, and in most cases, it should be refrigerated after opening. Only cooking wines that contain salt can be stored without refrigeration.

Video of the Day

Read the Label

Whether cooking sherry needs refrigeration after opening depends on the type of sherry. Sherry labeled for cooking typically contains salt and is shelf-stable, requiring no refrigeration. Inexpensive dry sherry that is suitable for drinking can also be used in cooking. These wines contain no salt and should be refrigerated after opening.

Shelf Life

Sherry is an enriched wine, which increases its longevity. Still, once opened, the flavor quickly dissipates. An unopened bottle of sherry stored in a dark, cool place will stay fresh for 12 months. Once opened, cork the bottle tightly and store it in the refrigerator for one to three weeks, but no longer than a month. Store cooking sherry in a dry, cool pantry and use it by the "best used by" date on the bottle, typically within a few months.

Choosing a Sherry

Although you can use cooking wine in your dish, you're probably better off with an inexpensive regular sherry instead. Cooking wines are usually made from thin, poor wine stock and have a lot of salt, as much as 1 teaspoon per cup. It's easy to add too much salt when using these types of wines. You can buy a suitable sherry for just a few dollars, which will add flavor and richness to your dish without the worry of over-salting it.

When to Toss It

Whether you store sherry in the refrigerator or the pantry, smell and taste it before you use it. As sherry ages, it can develop a bitter or sour flavor, almost like vinegar. If the wine tastes or smells bad, throw it out, no matter what the expiration date says. Using old sherry can ruin the taste of a dish.

6 Delicious Cranberry Recipes to Try This Holiday Season 1 of 7

For a lot of people, it wouldn't be the holidays without a turkey, and it wouldn't be a turkey without the cranberry sauce. It's an essential side that complements the rich flavor of the turkey, but there's also a huge variety of cranberry-based dishes beyond that familiar standby. This year, while cranberries are cheap and plentiful in stores, add color and flavor to the season by trying a few of these easy, delicious recipes.

Cranberry Sauce

If there's a holiday recipe that's easier to make than cranberry sauce, it's hard to imagine what that might be. The classic recipe has only three ingredients — berries, sugar and water — and takes just minutes to make. Fresh-made cranberry sauce tastes better than the commercial kind, with a brighter and fresher flavor, and it won't take time away from the rest of your holiday preparations. That's a solid win.

Orange Cranberry Sauce

When you make holiday meals for the family, there's always a fine line to walk. Some people absolutely have to have their traditional favorites every year, or it just doesn't feel like the holidays. Others get tired of the "same old same old" and want to shake things up from time to time. One easy way to please everyone is to swap out plain cranberry sauce for this orange cranberry sauce recipe. It's a subtle enough difference to not ruffle the traditionalists' feathers, but brings something agreeably new to the table for those who like novelty. Also, it's just plain delicious.

Cranberry Brie Flatbread

Baked brie is a great company dish, but it means your guests have to cluster around the serving dish to enjoy it. These cranberry Brie flatbreads are a great way to enjoy all those same flavors, but in handheld form. They're ideal for mixing and mingling, and they come together in just minutes from ingredients you can easily keep on hand all through the holidays. They're great as appetizers or an unusual and elegant dessert, and you can even make miniature versions to pass around on trays.

No-Churn Cranberry Ice Cream

When the weather turns cold, it doesn't mean you have to stop enjoying frozen treats, especially if they're perfectly seasonal and holiday-appropriate. After all, it's warm indoors, right? You don't need any special equipment to enjoy this no-churn cranberry ice cream — just a few minutes of your time and a few inches of space in your freezer. It starts off much the same way as orange cranberry sauce, and in fact you can save time by doubling that recipe and then separating half to become ice cream. Whipping your cream gives it the lightness you'd otherwise get from churning.

Freshly Cooked Cranberries

If you've ever tasted a raw cranberry, you know they need cooking to bring out their distinctive flavor and bright color. In some baked goods, that's fine because the berries cook as they bake, but for many other recipes, you'll need to know how to cook fresh cranberries. The process is a simple matter of boiling them with water and sugar until they're syrupy. Once they're done you can spoon the berries over pancakes, waffles or warm scones, use them in a seasonal cobbler, drizzle them over cheesecake or add them to an apple pie to give that classic dessert a holiday "spin." If you have a dehydrator, drain the berries and dry them for a raisin-like treat. Don't discard the syrup, though, because it's great in holiday cocktails or your mulled wine.

How to Cook Butter Beans in a Crock-Pot

How to Cook Butter Beans in a Crock-Pot

...

Butter beans are mature lima beans. They are flat and white, and taste creamy, rich and buttery when cooked. Whether dried, fresh or frozen, butter beans require a long cooking period to soften and absorb delicious seasonings. A slow-cooker ensures that the beans cook at a low temperature, which helps them stay intact.

Video of the Day

Soak Them First

...

Dried butter beans require soaking before they can be cooked. Soak beans for at least five hours in cool water. The warmer the water, the shorter the soaking time. Beans soaked in boiling water may be ready for cooking in as little as two hours. Longer soaks produce beans with a creamier texture, however, so an overnight soak or a maximum of 24 hours is ideal. As they soak, beans release a difficult-to-digest sugar, which can cause gas when consumed, so do not reuse the soaking liquid for cooking.

Load the Slow-Cooker

...

Cook fresh butter beans after a thorough rinsing and soaked butter beans after draining. Use plenty of water to cook either — roughly three times the amount of liquid — stock, wine or water — to beans. Add the beans, the liquid, and dried or fresh seasonings to the slow-cooker. Cook them on the low setting for as long as six to eight hours, until the beans are fork tender. On a high setting, cook them for no more than one to two hours, as overcooking can cause the beans to disintegrate.

Season Away

...

Add most seasonings, such as dried spices, minced aromatics — like garlic and onion — and meats, like pork hocks, at the beginning of the cooking period. Use other seasonings, such as acids and leafy herbs, after the beans have softened. The softened skins make it easier for seasonings to penetrate deep into the bean, producing a more flavorful dish. In the case of acids, such as tomatoes, lemon juice or apple cider vinegar, adding them too early can cause the skin to toughen, extending the cooking period.

Store Cooked Beans

...

Store cooked beans that are cooled in a food-safe, airtight container in the refrigerator for no more than five days. Freeze cooked beans in bags or containers for as long as six months. Defrost them slowly in the refrigerator when you're ready to eat them, then enjoy them cold or at room temperature, or warm them up for a fast meal.

Edible Cookie Dough Recipe

Although cookie dough is deliciously addiciting, eating it raw isn't the best idea. It contains uncooked eggs and flour, which can be contaminated with harmful bacteria. Luckily, with this edible cookie dough recipe, it's possible to make a batch that's safe to eat! It contains no raw eggs and toasted flour, so you can enjoy it as is.

Edible cookie dough

Video of the Day

Things You\’ll Need

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature

  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar

  • 1/4 cup white sugar

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 3 tablespoons milk of choice

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup chocolate chips

Ingredients for edible cookie dough

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Using a spatula, spread the flour on a large baking sheet.

Bake for 6 to 7 minutes, gently tossing halfway. (Heating the flour will kill bacteria and make the final cookie dough edible.) Let cool completely.

Tip

To be extra safe, use a candy thermometer to check the flour's internal temperature. It should reach at least 160°F to ensure harmful bacteria is destroyed.

Heat the flour

Step 2

Slice the softened butter and add to a large bowl. Add the light brown sugar.

Combine softened butter and brown sugar

Step 3

With a hand mixer, blend the butter and sugar until creamy and fluffy.

Cream butter and sugar

Step 4

Add the salt, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined, scraping the sides as necessary. Add the heated flour, 1/3 at a time, blending completely with the hand mixer.

Add flour

Step 5

Eventually, the mixture will become too thick for the mixer. Use a spatula (or clean hands) to finish mixing the cookie dough. Make sure the flour is fully incorporated.

Mix cookie dough with spatula

Step 6

Fold in the chocolate chips. You can use a spatula or your hands.

Tip

If it's a hot day, chill the cookie dough for a few minutes before folding in the chocolate chips. Otherwise, the chocolate chips might start melting as you fold them in. Try not to overmix, too.

Fold in chocolate chips

Before serving, press in a few more chocolate chips—because who can say no to more chocolate?! Refrigerate any leftovers in an air-tight container for up to one week. You can also freeze leftover dough for about three months.

Edible cookie dough recipe

Although edible cookie dough is amazing by the spoonful, it can be enjoyed in many ways. Roll the dough into balls and coat them with melted chocolate to make truffles. You can also use it as topping for ice cream sundaes, cakes, cupcakes and milkshakes. Yum!

How to Julienne Beets

How to Julienne Beets

Things You\’ll Need

  • Scrubber

  • Cutting board

  • Knife

  • Egg slicer

Julienned beets cook evenly because the pieces are all approximately the same size. A tumble of julienned beets is attractive and seems more festive than plain beet slices. Combine cooked beets with other julienned vegetables such as carrots and cucumbers for a fresh salad. Alternatively, add raw julienned beets to your wok as part of a stir-fry. They add an earthiness and sweetness to the dish, and the matchstick-size pieces cook as quickly as the other vegetables.

Video of the Day

Raw Beets With a Knife

Step 1

Scrub the beets until the dirt and debris are removed from the surface. Cut off the tops and about 1/4 to 1/2 inch of the beet. Save the tops; they're edible and taste like a sweeter version of spinach. The red veins in the green leaves and stems stay red when cooked.

Step 2

Cut off the roots and about 1/4 to 1/2 inch of the beet at the bottom. The flat ends make the beet easier to cut into matchstick-size pieces because it doesn't roll around.

Step 3

Peel the skin off the beet with a sharp knife or a vegetable peeler.

Step 4

Place the beet root side down on a cutting board. Hold the beet with your nondominant hand. Hold the knife in your dominate hand. Cut slices off each side of the beet to form a square shape. Starting from the end of the beet farthest from your dominant hand, cut the beet into vertical slices no more than 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick.

Step 5

Pile the beet slices in the same order you cut them on the cutting board. Think of it as reassembling the square beet. Cut the piled slices into thin strips no more than 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick.

Egg Slicer Method

Step 1

Use the tool that slices a whole hardboiled egg to julienne a cooked beet. Prepare the beet by removing the top, root and peel. The beet should be cooked to tenderness; otherwise, the blades won't go through the beet.

Step 2

Place the beet root side down on the open egg slicer. Most slicers have a base the egg sits on and a series of blades on a hinged top. When you pull the hinged top down over the egg, the blades slice through the egg. It does the same thing with a cooked or canned whole beet.

Step 3

Gather up the slices to reassemble the beet. Put them back in the egg slicer, but give the beet a 90-degree turn so the hinged top cuts the slices into strips.

Tip

Cooked and canned beets may be julienned with a knife, just like raw beets, instead of an egg slicer.

Warning

Use a sharp knife when cutting raw beets; a dull one makes the job more difficult and increases the risk of cutting yourself.

Does Chow Mein Freeze Well?

Double your chow mein recipe next time you make it and freeze the leftovers for a quick and nourishing meal on a busy night. This classic Chinese comfort food made of noodles stir-fried with meats and vegetables is highly versatile to suit a variety of tastes.

Video of the Day

Chow Mein Basics

Chow mein is a general term for a type of Chinese egg noodles, as well as the dish prepared using them. Make chicken, beef, pork and vegetable chow mein by stir-frying the par-boiled noodles with meats and vegetables until the noodles are slightly crisped, yet still tender. Season with soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger and black pepper. Include vegetables such as cabbage — the most common addition — as well as carrots, mushrooms or celery.

Freezing Chow Mein

Cook chow mein noodles as usual by par-boiling them until just tender and stir-frying with vegetables and meat before freezing. While some types of noodles are best cooked underdone before freezing, chow mein noodles will stand up well to freezing when prepared in their typical manner. Freeze chow mein in an airtight storage container or freezer-safe zip-top plastic bag. When using a plastic bag, remove as much air as possible from the bag before freezing to ensure quality.

Freezing Timeline

While continuously frozen foods will remain safe indefinitely, freezing chow mein for more three months leads to a decline in quality. Whether you are freezing takeout, leftovers or chow mein made specifically to go in the freezer, be sure to do it within two hours of preparation to prevent the harmful growth of bacteria. When possible, allow chow mein to cool to room temperature before freezing to prevent condensation in the container which can lead to a decline in quality and freezer burn.

Reheating Chow Mein

To prepare frozen chow mein, defrost it overnight in the refrigerator to prevent it from becoming mushy during the heating process. Avoid using the microwave to defrost frozen chow mein, as it can negatively affect the texture of the noodles. Add a small amount of cooking oil to a pan and heat it to medium-high on the stove before tossing in the chow mein, stirring frequently to prevent the noodles from scorching. Reheat thawed chow mein in the microwave for a quick approach. Use full power and add a tablespoon or two of water into the dish with the chow mein to prevent the noodles from drying out. Heat until the chow mein is steaming and registers 165 degrees Fahrenheit on an instant-read thermometer.

10 Tasty Things to Make With Pizza Dough (Besides Pizza)

Is there really any such thing as too much pizza? Of course not… but that doesn't mean you want to eat a slice for dinner every night. So transform leftover dough into something other than a vehicle for cheese and pepperoni. Pizza dough is a basic yeast dough, so it can be used in everything from breakfast to dessert. You won't even miss mozzarella.

10 Tasty Things to Make With Pizza Dough (Besides Pizza)

Video of the Day

1. Pizza Dough Garlic Knots

Garlic knots are the perfect food for anyone whose favorite part of pizza is the crust. Once you have pizza dough ready to go, forming garlic knots takes just minutes. They don't have to look like perfect knots as long as they're brushed with plenty of garlic and butter. Finish baked knots with grated parmesan and serve with tomato sauce for dipping.

2. Pizza Dough Breadsticks

Breadsticks are one of those simple snack foods that you can dress up in a dozen ways. Form the dough into sticks and arrange them on a baking sheet. Brush the sticks with butter, then go wild with toppings. Everything bagel seasoning, ranch seasoning powder or cheddar and jalapeños are tasty options.

3. Pizza Dough Dinner Rolls

What's the difference between basic dinner rolls and rolls made of pizza dough? Trick question — there isn't one. This shortcut is as easy as forming the dough into balls a little larger than golf balls, and placing them in an oiled baking dish. Let the dough rise for at least 30 minutes, then brush the rolls with butter or oil and bake until golden brown.

4. Pizza Dough Pretzel Bites

What separates regular baked pizza dough from pretzels is just a quick bath of baking soda. When your pizza dough is ready to go, whipping up a batch of fresh soft pretzels is as easy as boiling a pot of water and adding about 1/2 cup of baking soda. Form the dough into balls and drop them into the water for about 20 seconds. Transfer the pretzel balls to a baking dish, sprinkle with salt and bake until golden brown.

5. Pizza Dough Cinnamon Rolls

Frankly, by the time cinnamon rolls are slathered in sticky icing, the composition of the dough is the last thing anyone's thinking about. Use pizza dough to cut the prep work for this indulgent breakfast treat. Just be sure to let the prepared rolls rest before they go into the oven. This will help them puff while baking.

6. Pizza Dough Pull-Apart Bread

The problem with pull-apart bread is that you keep grabbing just one more chunk… until suddenly you've polished off half the loaf. Oh well. To make a version of pull-apart bread for pizza dough, roll dough into balls and place them in an oiled bundt pan, layering the dough balls with chunks of cheese and meat before baking. Or, use this dough to make monkey bread that's loaded with cinnamon sugar.

7. Pizza Dough Stromboli

Stromboli is a lot like a calzone: it's all the components of pizza, just flipped so the fillings are encased by crust. Stromboli is perfect for a crowd because you can make a large one and slice it into many servings. Start by rolling the dough into a thin rectangle. Cover with sauce and toppings, leaving the edges bare, then roll the rectangle (like you would cinnamon rolls) and bake until the crust is brown.

Homemade Cheesy and Meaty Italian Stromboli

8. Pizza Dough Galette

Pizza dough includes a subtle mix of salt and sweetener. So while it might seem strange to use this dough for a fruit-filled dessert, it's actually a perfect fit. A version of a galette is an especially easy way to whip leftover dough into dessert. It's a kind of open tart that's often topped with apple slices and baked.

9. Pizza Dough Crackers

Anyone who likes their pizza crust thin and crispy will love pizza dough crackers. This is an ideal way to use up dough that's been sitting in the fridge for a few days and won't rise much in the oven. The key is to roll the dough very thin. Cut crackers into any shape you like, then brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt before baking.

10. Pizza Dough Breakfast Pockets

Those frozen breakfast pockets sure are convenient for busy mornings. Too bad they're filled with so many unpronounceable preservatives. Make your own portable savory breakfasts by filling pizza dough pockets with scrambled eggs, cheese and your favorite breakfast meats. Bake them until the dough is just browning and stick leftovers in the freezer.
