Chicken Pot Pie in the Ninja Foodi

[itsjoan...@webtv.net]

Really, really good and pretty simple to make. It called for frozen green peas
or any other vegetable of your choice. I chose a cup of frozen cubed hash browns
as my addition. It also called for a teaspoon and a half of chopped fresh thyme,
but all I had was McCormick's dried thyme and I used a slightly rounded teaspoon.
Dried herbs are stronger than fresh and I believe I could have gotten away with
just 3/4 teaspoon.

It also called for 2 teaspoons of kosher salt but that is something I do not
stock. I used a slightly rounded teaspoon of regular salt it was the perfect
amount; not lacking salt nor too salty.

A store bought crust topped this pie because I am lazy.

kosher salt is salt by another name, you would never tell the
difference in a dish, it is basically a marketing scheme. Edible salt
is sodium chloride. That means sea salt, table salt, kosher salt, ALL
salt. The only salt that may have a slightly different flavor is
iodized salt.

Bummer I guess no one read my other post.

Whether you can taste the difference or not . . .
Kosher salt is larger grained than ordinary table salt and weighs far
less for an equal volume of table salt. So substituting one for the
other means you need to make adjustment in amounts.

so basically what you are saying is it is coarse sea salt?

except kosher salt may contain additional chemicals. That is not
something I would want in my salt. If the recipe calls for kosher salt
just use coarse sea salt....

Kosher salt is sodium chloride without iodine but may contain
anticaking agents

Sea salt is by far the most natural and best tasting salt because it
contains no added chemicals

When it's used as an air fryer, baker, broiler, steamer, or slower cooker it
is not sealed like a pressure cooker. It has two different lids that enable
it to be a multi-use appliance.

Let me clarify. Kosher salt is a flake. I believe it has been
through an evaporative process. To my knowledge there are no
additives. I was pointing out that there is a difference when
substituting kosher vs. table salt and vice versa because of weight
and size which you should note since you say you are an experienced
cook to avoid making serious errors. However. Talking about
additives. Sea salt comes from the sea shore and whatever washed up
with it. It would be better to look up ingredients and know what is
in them rather than off the cuff speculation. You are speculating
that iodized salt is the only salt that might taste different.

I am sorry but I just could not see myself using a "kosher" salt or
any other product that has gone through a "kashering" just to fill the
need for someone's desire to placate a greedy religion that has
obviously created a way for it to make money for itself. I mean saying
words or taking other measures to please a fairy to me is just utterly
ridiculous.

I am not saying that the jewish religion is the only bad religion, the
christians aka catholics created the jesus fairy as a hero to people
in order to control them and get their money. The greeks did it, the
romans did it, the egyptians did it, the norse did it, the hindu did
it and are still doing it. What is amazing is that it is usually all
the exact same story just retold with different words. There is very
little difference between the jesus fairy and the egyptian horus fairy
or the greek hercules fairy.

The names have been changed in order to modernize these said fairies
but the stories remain the same. Does that mean that osiris the father
of Horus really exists and actually created it by raping a human woman
just as the catholic aka christian god did? So that would also mean
that there are/were thousands of gods that just so happened to
disappear when their time had passed, does that mean the jewish god
will disappear to one day same for the christian aka catholic god?

Sorry for the rant I just really hate religion.. hence the my chosen
nym.

oh wow that sounds awesome... will it also dehydrate food?

I have been getting into dehydration in the last few days well week or
so. I love dehydrated apples, strawberries, and pineapple is just the
best. I have not dehydrated vegetables yet and any information that
anyone may have would be appreciated about veggies and dehydration
although I have done palazzo peppers but those were pretty easy.

Wow thanks that was a very informative video. It did answer my
previous question though about dehydration. Thanks!!

[Cindy Hamilton]

You really should educate yourself. The salt has not undergone "kashering".
Nobody makes money from kosher salt except the manufacturer.

Flake or kosher salt has a specific culinary purpose apart from kashering
meat. It is useful wherever one desires a salt that is sparingly soluble
at cool temperatures. It is easy to pinch from a bowl to get a relatively
consistent quantity compared to sprinkling from a shaker.

You should examine your own religious devotion to sea salt. There's
no taste difference between sea salt and mined salt in blind tests.
If you're using coarse-textured sea salt the same effect can be obtained
with coarse-textured mined salt.

All salt is sea salt. The only difference is when it was evaporated
(now or a million years ago), how much dirt and fish crap has been
removed, and crystal size.

Cindy Hamilton

[Christ...@deathtochristianity.pl]

Kashering is what would have been done in the days of old and any food

kosher - According to the laws of the Torah,

those are the first words on the description, now if you were starving
and happened to walk into a house and saw a bowl of porridge and it
was a little to warm would you not eat it because you thought it may
belong to papa bear or because it was a little to hot?

I am sorry that just makes little sense. Are you saying that you can
not place any type of salt in a bowl and take a pinch or better yet

I have no religious devotion at all. I do not believe in fairies or

of course it is, on this planet. No one really knows if salt will be
found on planets that do not contain large amounts of water, although
I don't know if I could even picture a large planetary body without
any water whatsoever I mean water is one of the easiest things to make
or form or whatever. The fusion process between hydrogen and oxygen is
very simple and requires only a spark to start it.

Find out what the exact purpose of salting meat in the kashering
process is, and then we can have a meaningful discussion.

Kosher salt is easier to take a pinch. Table salt tends to slip
between the fingers because its crystals are cubic.

Measuring devices certainly have their place. But not, for example,
when salting a turkey prior to roasting.

"Sea salt is by far the most natural and best tasting salt because it
contains no added chemicals"

"Most natural" is irrelevant. A salt lick in the woods is most
natural, but I wouldn't make it my first choice in the kitchen.

"Best tasting because it contains no added chemicals" is debatable.
"Best tasting" is a opinion.
"No added chemicals" is a red herring. Un-iodized processed salt
has no added chemicals. Sea salt often has mineral salts from
wherever it happens to come from. But they confer no special
benefit. Magnesium chloride (for example) in sea salt is identical
to manufactured magnesium chloride.

You said that sea salt is "best tasting". That implies there
is a taste difference.

My health food nazi sister in law used to swear that sea salt is saltier
tasting than table salt. While there is a very slight taste of iodine in
table salt (all"table salt" in Canada is iodized), salt is salt. Most of
the salt we get here is mined from old dried up sea beds.

Yes. I agree. I also like to use a coarser salt on foods to get that

I prefer not to use iodized salt most of the time. We do have it on hand
and use it some of the time because I am not confident about getting
enough iodine in my diet. FWIW, when my niece was young she suffered
from a goiter. That was when her food nazi mother had to face the fact
that there was a good reason to iodize salt.

What you are really doing is showing your ignorance of Kosher salt, what
it is and why it is used.

Any salt can be kosher with no kashering process. Kosher sale it used
for the kashering process because of the way it can draw out the blood
in the process. That aside, yes, salt is salt, but there are
differences. Iodine aside, if you put salt in soup any salt will affect
the flavor the same way for a given volume by weight. Kosher salt,
finishing salts, have a different cut and when put on the top of food
they affect the taste buds differently, this the reason to use them. No
matter your religion, or lack thereof, it is about flavor and texture.

You'll have to find another reason to rant.

IMO, that's just a difference of where her sea salt was from.

Case in point....If someone evaporated ocean water here in
virginia beach to make salt, boy would that be full of crap
coming out of the Chesapeake Bay and it's entire contributing
watershed. Ocean water here is watered down somewhat.

Go 150 or so miles south to Cape Hatteras, NC and the water is
much more pure and most definitely has a higher salt content as
it's not watered down from fresher water from the Cheasapeake Bay
watershed.

I don't think that "most" of your salt is mined from old sea
beds. I think *all* salt, is from either old sea beds or from
modern evaporation methods. Therefor, all salt is sea salt.

I buy both. I know people need a certain amount of iodine added

Salts sold as "Sea Salt" will taste different because they're not pure
NACL, they contain many elements not listed on the package, some may
be harmful.... it's actually not too much different than the rock salt
used for de-icing.

Even pure NACL will have different taste perceptions depending on
crystal size... the larger crystal size of kosher salt will taste
saltier as it dissolves more slowly in the mouth... and for that
reason I prefer salting my buttered bread and other foods with kosher
salt rather than use salted butter or table salt... I never buy salted
butter, it actually contains a lot of salt, more than one Tbs per
pound, however the perception of saltiness is much more intense by
sprinkling with a small amount of kosher salt without increasing ones
salt intake.

There is a taste difference in iodized salt and salt with anticaking

is just because a salt is jewish does not make it any better than any
other kind of salt. They are the same except maybe other than the
price.

ya know since you mentioned chlorinated water I just wanted to say
that chlorinated water can make a DAMN good cup of coffee. I have no
idea why but it does. That is if your coffee comes from a decant bean.
That instant crap will taste like shit, and that mass produced coffee
like foldgers will taste like crap.

Now I am from far down south and all of the city water comes from
numerous wells and has no chlorine and is often regarded as the best
tasting water. But it just does not make as good a cup of coffee as
the chlorinated water

From what I understand they go pretty far off of the he coast to
collect the water then eventually drain them into pools on the ground
where they eventually evaporate away and just leave all the salt where
it is collected, packaged, and sent to the idiots who buy it<which
includes me>

I am saying Kashering (Making Kosher) salt because you can not kosher
something with out it being kosher. for instance you can not kosher
mean with a non kosher salt. Although you actually can, and it is done
all the time.

Let me ask you a question is coarse sea salt the same as kosher salt?

I would not go so far as to say different cut, rather table salt is
just a finer grind is all. It is just stupid religious crap that means
NOTHING at all because there are no fairies in the sky anyway

Chemically, close, texturally, no. Sea salt may contain other minerals.
Kosher salt is flaked.

Popcorn salt is a finer grind, kosher salt is a different grind. Salt
companies us the old term of kosher salt to differentiate. You have the
hangup of assigning religious rites to it.

The term goes back to about 1920 when salt companies used the term to
sell the salt to Jewish immigrants. It is really marketing, not
religion. Perhaps you should petition Morton and Diamond to change the
name.

Gotta watch the wording. It is sea salt that is certified kosher but it is
not what we think of as kosher salt.

I don't think Kosher salt has to do with religion. It's larger pieces of
salt.

[Christ...@deathtochristianity.pl]

That is like saying that the christian religion is not 100 % based on
the rape of a 12 year old girl that later marries a 90 year old man.

Thing is the christian religion is totally based on that fairy tale..

Kosher is a jewish thing .. and just because it does not or may not
carry that meaning now does not mean that it was always like that. All
christians support the rapeing of 14 year old girls just like those
that use kosher salt support jewish morons.... if an idea or product
is made for one specific reason then it carries that meaning with it
forever.

When the dehydrate function is selected the temperature of the pot drops as low

You might want to check out a Korean store if you're interested in salt. They have a wide variety of salts. Mostly sea salts. They have some very fine salts and flaky salts and granular salts. The Korean course sea salt differs from Hawaiian salt in that it's crumbly while Hawaiian salt are crystals of salt. The best Korean salt has MSG mixed in. It will greatly improve your dishes.

well there is a difference between atheist and antitheist. atheist are

Yep! There have been many changes and improvements to non-stick cooking
materials since the original Teflon coating was found to be harmful when
heated to extremely high temps.

I think of the word "teflon" like the word "kleenex". I don't
necessarily buy that brand but when I write my shopping list I write
down kleenex. Same thing with Q-tips; to me, it means cotton swabs.

Many commonly used words started out as specific brands but wind up in
generic useage. "Google" is a fairly recent case in point. There are
any number of search engines and they all do the same thing, yet when
someone says "google it" I know exactly what they mean, regardless of
which search engine I use. :)

I agree with you, Boron. My SO, who does not cook, thinks Marie
Callender's chicken pot pies are great. So I picked one up just to try
it, thinking maybe it would be good for when I want a quick meal. I
don't remember the cost but IIRC it was a bit more than $3. (They're
larger than the Swanson and Banquet pot pies of yesteryear and even
today). It was extremely bland.

And, I believe that the off gassing occurs beyond certain temperatures

Metal? Of course not! They're microwaveable. It will be everything
you expect it to be, which means not very good. ;)

These new pot pies can be heated in the M/W. Yum!

It certainly is causing hate in you.

That's what I recall. If you cranked the heat to high and let it sit
there on the stove it gave off toxic fumes. It's entirely possible
notbob had old original Teflon pans. <shrug>

That was a pretty good sign of what we could expect from him.

The very same, Mike. Also those with anti-religious (or religious)
convictions, merely seeking a platform.

I have not bought any major brand meat pie in decades. We occasionally
buy church lady meat pies from my wife's church or we get them from a
local bakery. At $4-5 apiece they are likely more expensive that those
in the grocery store freezer section, but they are delicious.

[Dave Smith]

I have never been religious. I was glad to see public prayers slip away.
I have to admit to disappointment about the influx if Islamic immigrants
and refugees and being expected to welcome their fervent beliefs. And
then there is the native prayers that have become the norm for public
functions. Hell, we get away from one system on superstitious mumbo
jumbo just to replace it with another.

[jmcquown]

Yes, apparently this poster is also an authority on salt. LOL It's
clear the term "kosher" sets it off.

Quite possibly. The poster is also on the vegan and gluten free
bandwagon. Lots of *boring* drums to beat.

I sometimes have one and yes it nukes well, you leave it in the carton
and the lid seems to have some sort of lining and that must be what
stops the pastry going completely soggy in the nuker. Stouffers I
think, comes in a small red box.

[jmcquown]

Just the nickname was a pretty clear sign, Dave. I hadn't checked the
ng for a couple of days. When I came back and started reading there it
was... and gone in a couple of clicks. Can't wait to see if it morphs
if enough people stop engaging it.

Jill

[lucreti...@fl.it]

You're at it again! Islamic immigrants in Halifax have their mosques
but I notice they are about as fervent as the average Christian is.

[jmcquown]

Yes, the red box! Stouffer's. Did it taste good?

Of most any frozen brand, I like Stouffer's when it comes to frozen
entrees. I still buy their Spinach Souffle. Not only does it taste
good to me, it's a memory that started when I was a teen. Mom bought it
and served it with dinner. Back then, yes, it came in a metal pan and
was cooked in the oven. It's a fond memory and she and I both continued
to buy it over the years. I still do. These days it is in a tray which
can be microwaved OR baked in the oven, just remove the film on top.

I haven't tried Stouffer's pot pie. Maybe I should. I wasn't at all
impressed by the Marie Callender pot pie. It was very bland.
