19 Tips To Impress Your Date When Dining Out

Picture this. You are out on a date with a hot girl / guy (depends on your preference.) You've been playing out this very scene in your head. Only this time, it is the real thing. He or she is really in front of you. You gently reach in for the glass to take a sip of wine. Damn it! You nudged it over and sprayed the content on his / her lap. Now he / she is wet. The rest of the night is a disaster. That you're sure of!

That shouldn't be the case. Why do you think we were taught table ethics in Home Economics. Just in case you have forgotten, here are a couple of fine restaurant dining tips to help you not make your next big date into the next big disaster.

1. When dining in a restaurant, make sure you are dressed to the nines. For men, a suit is suggested. For women, a dress or a skirt. A restaurant is different from a fast food chain. Besides, you will feel better about yourself when you're all dressed up and shining like a new penny.

2. Once you are seated, the napkin must be spread flat out on your lap. If the dinner napkin is larger than usual, fold them into halves. If these are small napkins, then they must be opened in full-size.

3. Sit up straight. Your elbows must be tucked in. Do not stretch them outright. It will not only make you slouch, it will also make you look like you're owning the entire area.

4. Look around the table and wait till everyone has been served the meal before you dig into yours.

5. Just like how Molly aka Kathy Bates and Rose aka Kate Winslet taught Jack aka Leonardo DiCaprio in "Titanic," the silverware you should use first is the one that is located farthest from the plate then work your way in.

6. When you're done with a particular silver, put it on the dish which you used it for.

7. If it is buffet-style, pass the food to your right.

8. You wouldn't want to seem hungry to your date or those around you, so for ethical purposes, cut the meat in small pieces. You must also put food in your mouth in small bites. Chew slowly. You wouldn't want to choke, now would you?

9. When you're done with your meal, leave the napkin semi-folded at the left side of your plate.

10. Here is a general rule once you have to remove things from your mouth. Always remember to remove it the same procedure it went in. For example, a chicken bone must be returned to the plate by using a fork.

11. Eat chicken with a fork and a knife.

12. If you are served with oysters and clams that are still in their shell, simply place the shell firmly within your grasp using your left hand and pull out the clam using the oyster fork that is provided for you.

13. Use a cocktail fork when eating lobster, shrimp and crab cocktails.

14. Pick up fried shrimp with your fingers.

16. Using a nutcracker, crack crab and lobster claws. Take out the meat using your fork.

17. Put butter on baked potatoes using a fork. Most people do it with a knife. Upon reading this article, you know better.

18. Eat chips with your fingers. Use the fork when the host serves you French fries. Do not pick one whole piece only to bite parts of it off.

19. When served with soup, dip the spoon and move it outwards, meaning from your body. Do not slurp. Sip it from the edge of your spoon. Do not insert the whole spoon into your mouth.

Now let us go back to the scenario we described in the beginning of the article. Here are some tips just in case you experience dining accidents:

1. If there is a spill, do not clean it with your napkin. Your napkin is there to protect you from spill not to lure it all in. Politely ask the server to clean it up for you and ask for replacements if the napkin or utensils have been soiled.

2. Another accident you may encounter is choking. Do not panic. Simply motion to anyone closest to you that you are having hard time breathing. It may be comical like that scene from "Mrs. Doubtfire" when Pierce Brosnan choked on a piece of meat spiced up by Robin Williams, but hey there's nothing a Heimlich maneuver cannot do.

The key is do not be conscious of your actions. Be confident. By knowing what you must do and how to do it, then you shouldn't worry. Most importantly, enjoy the meal.

What is the Best Cookware Set For the Kitchen

People want to know whats the best cookware set for the kitchen? It is true that you can find really good deals on complete cookware sets but it is no bargain if you end up with pieces that you will never use when preparing meals.

Before buying any cookware try and define what it is you are trying to accomplish with your cookware. This will help to in determining whats the best cookware set to buy for your kitchen.

I prefer cookware that is more functional and can perform more than one cooking task when preparing a meal. Things like browning or searing meat on the stovetop and then finishing the cooking process in the oven all in same piece of cookware. To be able to do this style of cooking I would find cookware that is oven safe and can withstand high temperatures including the handles and lids.

Other examples of cookware that can perform many tasks is enameled cast iron cookware. This type of cookware is good for performing many tasks as simple as preparing sauces like spaghetti sauce on the stovetop or cooking a roast in the oven.

Another mutitasker to consider would be a stainless steel stockpot with basket insert. You could use this pot for making homemade soups, and with the basket inserted make your favorite pastas and can also be used as a steamer for steaming vegetables and seafoods.

This method of cooking will also cut down on clean up time because you are minimizing the amount of cookware you will be using when preparing meals.

One other piece of cookware I keep on hand is at least one good nonstick skillet. Although this may not fit into the category as a multitasker it is one that is great to use when making eggs and is idea for preparing things that maybe messy and sticky. Also great if your're on a diet and want to prepare low fat meals.

Also one thing to consider if being able wash your pots and pans in the dishwasher is a priority then plain cast iron and anodized aluminum is not a good choice. You then might want to consider stainless steel pots and pans.

I have many pots and pans but when I finally adopted this method of cooking I typically only use a few pieces of cookware when preparing meals in the kitchen. I also take this same approach when looking for cooking utensils. This is just my personal choice and approach when I am looking for the best cookware for the kitchen.

Classic Cars - Mini

The Mini owns a title worth of its form, as it is indeed very small. It was the creation of the British Motor Corporation (BMC), and throughout its history it also went on to be produced by Austin and Morris and had continuous production run of 41 years in total, from 1959 right up until late 2000. This is something that has been achieved by only a handful of other cars such as the VW Beetle and the Citroen 2CV. In 1999 the Mini was voted the 2nd most influential car of the 20th Century.

However, despite being manufactured up until recently it will always remain a throwback to the 1960's. Back then its front wheel drive design that provided its famous space saving layout was revolutionary, and if left 80% of the car free to be used for passengers and luggage, and this thinking influences car manufacturers to this day.

The standard Mini went almost unchanged for the entire 41 years it was in production, although there were a series of variations including a pickup truck, a van, the clubman estate, and the Mini Moke which actually looked more like a Jeep, but was recognisable as a Mini because it had similar physical dimensions and the classic grill and headlamp shape. There were also some high performance Mini's produced, namely the Mini Cooper and the Cooper S. The Cooper S was put forward as a rally car, and went on to win the Monte Carlo Rally four times from 1964 through to 1967, and this speaks for itself.

So what made the Mini so successful? When it was first released on the 26th August 1959, although it was praised by the media it took a while to take off. However, its popularity then rocketed and when production finally ended over 5.3 million Minis had been sold worldwide, making it the most popular British car ever made. But what enabled it to survive 41 years in production? This answer may lie behind the wheel, as the Mini had fantastic go-kart like handling despite being cheap to buy and cheap to run, something which is probably still unmatched today. It was also helped along after appearing in Box Office hits such as the Italian job, 101 Dalmatians, Monty Python's Flying Circus, A View to Kill and the Austin Powers Trilogy to name but a few, and of course it played a leading role in the classic series Mr. Bean.

Learning to Bake

Baking - a lot of people understand what it is, but it is becoming less popular as our lives get increasingly fast-paced and geared towards convenience. Many people simply do not have the time to bake in their own homes anymore. Having said that, if you are looking at rekindling your passion for this lost tradition it is important to realize what baking covers.

At one end of the spectrum, we have bread as our most basic staple, and at the other we have cake as the ultimate celebratory food employed to mark our most important occasions. There can be no questioning that baked foods are important to us and, while baking every day is a lavishness many of us cannot afford time-wise, maybe by baking our own goods every now and again we can better treasure those simple meals and special occasions by adding to them more directly.

You might be stunned to know that these tasty little dishes have been around since the early 1800s and were originally baked in individual clayware cups or ramekin cake pans. Here is a bit of trivia for you: they are called fairy cakes in the UK and Ireland, probably because you can easily imagine one feeding a whole party of thumb-sized sprites. Anyway, cup cakes have a long pedigree, but they have also evolved over the years.

Once you have got your baking bearings, piping bags, syringes, stencils and other such tools and bakeware will really elevate your efforts and will make things look impressive. They give you much more control over things. Putting your loved ones name on cup cakes or the like is certain to pluck the heartstrings, and doing that will require a piping bag. The great thing is that they are inexpensive and using them is fairly intuitive. Also, living in the Information Age has a big benefit here: you can be sure something like YouTube is going to have a few clips on how to properly handle such instruments.

In addition to basic lettering, borders, stars, rosettes and other such effects can be easily achieved with the piping bag (also called a pastry bag). You simply cannot create the appealing uniformity or tidiness of professional baked goods with a knife or spatula. Filling cupcakes or embellishing them with a simple rosette is downright basic with a piping bag: simply insert the desired tip, fill the bag with icing and squeeze in the right direction! After you have got the piping bag mastered and it will not take too long you will pretty much own cupcakes. You might look around for some different recipes and experiment with flavours and fillings, but you will be ready for new challenges.

At that point, no one can take it away from you: you are a baker.

Cooking in a Wood Fired Pizza Oven

Pizza is one of the wonder foods of the 21st century. With its emphasis on quality ingredients and artisanal methods of production, it strongly connects with modern ideas about how food should be prepared and enjoyed. And of course, it doesn't hurt that a good pizza can be absolutely delicious!

It is perfectly possible to make delicious pizzas at home using just a home oven and pizza stone. However for really authentic results you need to cook your pizza in a wood fired oven. Wood fired ovens make such a difference because of the extremely high but even heat, which cooks the pizza in as little as 90 seconds. This quick cooking time allows the dough to cook through but retain some moisture, so the base is chewy and tender instead of hard. The other benefit is that cooking a pizza directly on a hot brick hearth allows some of the moisture under the pizza to be absorbed, so the base doesn't go soggy.

When cooking a pizza in a wood fired oven it is important to fire the oven properly. This is done by building a fire inside the dome of the oven. For best results, use smallish pieces of wood - certainly no thicker than your wrist. The objective is to heat the dome as quickly as possible, so build a big fire. Every oven will take a different amount of time to get properly hot but a good tip is to look at the inside of the dome. At first it will be black with soot, but this will start to turn white and then burn off completely. At this point, the inside of the oven is at pizza cooking temperatures. You may need to keep a roaring fire going for a while longer to really get the heat spread throughout the oven. With practice, you will find what works best with your own oven.

Once the oven is hot enough, you can remove a lot of the smaller coals from the oven. Have a metal bin or similar ready to dump your hot coals, and be careful - it will heat up! Retain a good pile of coals, and push it to the side of the oven. Put one or two small pieces of wood on this pile, and keep feeding it as needed to maintain an active flame. This will keep the dome charged with heat, and make sure your pizzas cook properly.

Now all that's left is to prepare your pizzas and cook them! Sweep the ash from the floor, or wipe it away with a damp rag on a stick. There is a whole world of implements you can use to make the process easier, you will soon figure out what you need and track it down in a store or make your own.

Strawberries Anyone

How do you feel about strawberries. I personally like them. They are a treat that we eat whole or sliced with drizzled honey. Did you know that the average strawberry has about 200 seeds on the outside. My kids always contemplate growing strawberries in their tummies after eating the seeds.

A quick and easy way to hull out your strawberries is to insert a straw in the bottom of the berry and push it up through the stem.

When you are buying strawberries from the grocery store look for ripe berries that are firm and dry. The green tips should be fresh, not wilted. Turn the box over and check that it is dry. If the bottom is moist or stained some of the berries may be overripe.

To keep the berries fresh for the longest amount of time, do not wash them when you bring them home. Place them in the refrigerator and store until ready to use. Wash them when you take them out to serve, or cook with.

Did you know that seven to eight medium sized strawberries makes a serving. In that serving you will have only about 22 calories. This could be one of the best kept fruit secrets of all time.

If tradition does not dictate strawberry shortcake for dessert try these variations.

Dipped in chocolate

Chopped or dipped in your favorite yogurt

Dipped in sour cream

Dipped in whipped cream, homemade is preferable

Dusted with a little confectioners' sugar

However you eat your strawberries enjoy them in the knowledge that they are healthy sweet treats.

1957 Chrysler 300-C

On November 29, 1956, Chrysler brought the '57 Chrysler 300-C to market and billed it as "America's highest-performing automobile". It had the option of a Hemi engine that sported a horsepower of 375 to 390, much higher than many of its peer automobiles at the time.

Power and Blazing Fast

The '57 Chrysler 300-C was the third version of car in Chrysler's 300 series. The 1957 Chrysler 300-C, a big automobile that sat low to the ground, was full of comfort and luxury while having excellent power and handing. Both of the prior versions of the Chrysler 300 (the C300 and 300B) had won the NASCAR Grand National Stock Car Championships as well as the Women's National Speed Trial Championships in both 1955 and 1956. So it was no surprise when the '57 Chrysler 300-C beat the unofficial stock car record at the Chelsea Proving Grounds with an average speed of 145.7 mph. It also won the "Flying Mile" at Daytona with a top speed of 134 mph. This was achieved with a base V-8 engine which pumped out 375 horsepower at over 5,200 rpm.

Luxury and Comfort

The '57 Chrysler 300-C, based on the New Yorker with lots of changes, was built using body-on-frame construction. It had new 14-inch wheels as well as new dual headlights which allowed for up to 75 feet more vision when driving at night.

The '57 Chrysler 300-C featured a large windshield, a unique grill on the front, front door vent windows, and a red, white and blue emblem that sported the 300-C logo. The rear had tail fins to help stabilize the 300-C at high speeds and twin backup lights that were set above large tail lamps. The exterior colors were all monotone (red, green, brown, white, or black) unless a special order was made.

The interior had the best that Chrysler had to offer. Tan leather was standard for the interior. The door panels had silver appliques and both the wheel and glove compartment had "300" medallions. The '57 Chrysler 300-C also had a TorqueFlite automatic transmission which was operated by push button. The TorqueFlite was connected to the 300-C's standard 392 Hemi V-8 engine. Chrysler's TorqueFlite transmission was a mainstay for the company from 1956 through the early 1990's, by the way and it is said to be one of the smoothest and trouble-free transmissions to have ever been designed.

Other standard features on the 1957 Chrysler 300-C included:

• a clock
• airfoam seat cushions
• backup lights
• a cushioned dash panel
• a chrome license plate frame,
• spare tire cover
• a handbrake warning
• windshield washers
• turn signals
• a "SilentFlite" fan drive which limited the fan speed to 2,500 rpm to deaden noise
• power brakes

There was optional equipment as well. You could also opt for the Electro Touch Tuner radio, power assists for steering, windows and radio antenna, a six-way power seat, heater and rear view mirrors.

Superb Handling

The performance enhancements are what really set the 1957 Chrysler 300-C apart. These enhancements helped keep it the most powerful and fastest car in production at the time in America. The enhancements also made the '57 Chrysler 300-C one of the best handling. The suspension included a lowered engine, extensive laboratory testing and Chrysler's famous twin parallel torsion bar suspension. The handling was further helped by the '57 C-300's low center of gravity and the design of the forward portion of the rear axle. The '57 Chrysler 300-C is a wonderful collector car and it influence is still seen today (take the 2005 300-C which takes it influence from the '57 300-C front styling).

How to Roast Stuffed Poultry

This article is aimed at the beginning cook. If you have never roasted stuffed poultry before, you may find it beneficial. You can apply the principals to roasting stuffed chicken, turkey, duck or goose.

Check the wrapper the bird came in for weight and approximate cooking time for stuffed birds. Write down the amount of cooking time, as required by weight, for your bird. Remove the bird from the plastic wrapper. Remove any poultry parts from the inside of the bird and rinse them. Set aside for later use. Rinse the bird thoroughly inside and out. Allow to drain. Pat the inside of the turkey with dry paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Sprinkle the inside of the bird with salt. Stuff just before planning to begin roasting. If stuffing is made in advance, be sure to store it separately in the refrigerator. Fill the body and neck cavities lightly with seasoned stuffing. Stuff lightly, making sure not to press stuffing into the bird too tightly. Allow about 1/2 cup of stuffing for each pound of poultry. Any extra stuffing may be baked in a separate pan during the last hour of cooking.

Fold neck skin over to the back of the bird and fasten with a skewer. This will help keep the stuffing moist while baking. Turn the wingtips to the back of the heavy wing bone, to rest against the neck skin. Close the body cavity by tucking the ends of the legs under the band of skin at the tail, or by fastening legs together close to the body with a string.

If you are roasting a whole turkey, insert a meat thermometer into center of inner thigh muscle, making sure the thermometer does not touch the bone. If you don't own a meat thermometer don't worry, it isn't required for satisfactory cooking of a turkey.

Place the bird breast side up in a shallow pan, or start a heavy bird, one that weighs 18 pounds or more, breast side down until half done. Then turn over and allow to finish cooking. This allows for more even cooking. Always cook a goose breast side up. To prevent over browning, cover the bird loosely with aluminum foil, or use a turkey bag purchased from a store. Do not cover pan and do not add any water or broth.

Salt the gibblets and neck that were removed from the bird and seal in aluminum foil. Roast along with the bird. If you prefer, you can simmer them in salted water until tender.

Baste a chicken or turkey several times with drippings while cooking. Ducks and geese are fat enough that they do not require any basting.

Near the halfway or two-thirds point of cooking, cut the string to release the legs of the bird. Also remove the aluminum foil, or tear open the cooking bag to allow the turkey to brown.

Cook until meat thermometer in thigh reaches 180 to 185 degrees F. If you are not using a meat thermometer, test for doneness by pressing the fleshy part of the drumstick with protected fingers. If the meat feels soft, the poultry is done. You can also test for doneness by moving the drumstick. If the drumstick moves up and down easily, and the leg joint breaks or gives easily, the bird is done.

Plan the roasting time for a large bird so it will be done about 30 minutes before serving. Allowing poultry to stand for a short time makes it much easier to carve.

How to BBQ Ribs

So, you want to know how to BBQ Ribs expertly? Well, first of all you should understand that professional chiefs use "smokers", the best ribs are not cooked on a BBQ, as the cooking is too fast and the meat is then tougher! It is possible, however, to cook them in a conventional oven; the only thing missing will be that nice smoky flavour, but that can be added by simply putting a small amount of liquid smoke into your sauce.

The secret to great ribs is that they need to be cooked at low temps for long periods of time. Professionals cook all their meats this way; at 225°F for 6 hours for ribs, 10 - 12 hours for pork butts and up to 18 hours for brisket. But, don't worry, I will show you how to do ribs in around 3-4 hours!

First to dispel a couple of myths about ribs:

"The secret to great ribs is to boil them first!" and "Boiling/steaming gets all the fat out", BOTH WRONG! Never, ever boil or steam your ribs! I don't care what your mother taught you or what a famous chef on Food TV did. Never do it! In essence, what happens is the water or steam goes in and the flavour of the meat (and some, but very little of the fat) comes out. If you doubt this, taste the water after you have boiled something in it. This is the whole concept behind making soup! All the flavour ends up in the water! So, just don't do it!

Preparation:

The night before you should choose your favourite rub (combination of spices) and apply it to the ribs. Then wrap them in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. A truly great rib can be tested using simply salt and pepper; this is called a "dry" rib (a "wet" rib has sauce on it)! I suggest everyone try their ribs "dry" first, and then start experimenting with various rubs and sauces to find their favourite.

Take the ribs out of the fridge about 1 hour prior to cooking.

Cooking Method:

Preheat your oven to 275 F. If you have more time, you can set the oven at 250 F, and it will take about 4 hours to do.

Place a cake pan of hot water on the lowest rack. You may need to add water to this near the end.

Place the ribs in the oven bone side down and don't ever turn them (this allows the fat to 'travel' through the meat leaving all the flavour behind)! Place them on a wire rack directly above the water pan to catch the dripping fat.

After 1 1/2 hours of cooking (not before!), splash or mop the ribs with a mixture of 3 parts apple juice and 1 part oil. Do this every 1/2 - 3/4 hour until done.

To test for doneness, watch for the meat to pull back from the ends of the bones or insert a toothpick between the bones and if it goes through easily they are done.

Finally, apply any sauces 20 minutes or less prior to eating. This will avoid the sugars burning and turning black, and believe me, there's loads of sugar in every BBQ sauce!

Like I said, this whole process will take around 3 - 4 hours depending what temp you cook at. It may take a little practice to get to your desired doneness but that's half the fun! That's it, that's how to BBQ ribs and without a BBQ too!

hot rod hearse/horse fatigued burial drillmaster at the Pittsburgh World of Wheels 2009

Pittsburgh World of Wheels 2009 This hearse was originally built in 1770 as a horse drawn funeral coach. It was found in a field outside Gettysburg, Pa in June 1985. Work was started in September, 1985 and was completed in January, 1986. The original wood body was fully restored and mounted on a fabricated rear frame, coupled to a 1977 Camaro front sub frame. The engine is a 454 cubic inch Chevy with a turbo 400 transmission feeding into a Camaro rear end with a Franklin housing. A hand fabricated cow catcher and an old fire truck headlight make up the grill. The body was finished in high gloss black enamel with highlighting in gold leaf and striping. The interior is plush red velvet accented with a rose wood formica floor trimmed in brass. The cowl lights are from a 1908 Model T and the tail lights from a 1926 Studebaker.

1934 Ford

Recognizing a 1934 Ford may not be something that comes naturally to most people, but there is little doubt that the classic body design is iconic in its own right. For some, the 1934 Ford conjures images of Bonnie and Clyde. The strength and dependability of the car made it a stylish and reliable choice for bank robbers of that era. In the 1960s, the 1934 Ford experienced a renaissance as many enthusiasts purchased the models and turned them into hotrods and racers. In the present day, a decent model will run you somewhere in the neighborhood of $35,000, a testament to its continued popularity among auto enthusiasts.

Unlike today, when each car make may span half a dozen models in a given year, in the 1930s Ford was producing only one model at a time. These models were not given a special name like today's cars, but rather referred to by their model year. Efficiency was of little concern; the chief concern at the time was style and power. The 1934 Ford had a sturdy steel frame and introduced a V-8 engine with 85 horsepower.

Although there was really only one model of Ford available at the time, there were several variations to choose from. The manufacturer offered a two door roadster, a two door cabriolet, four door phaeton, flatbed truck, two door and four door sedans - just to name a few. The roadster was produced in a run of just 12,500 units, while other variations numbered around 125,000 during the 1934 model year.

The 1934 model was a milestone vehicle for Ford, which hadn't introduced a new model since 1929. Rumor has it that Henry Ford, the man himself, took an interest in promoting the company's new product - and hosted a party with liquor and cigars to launch the 1934 model. In the same year Ford took the new model to the "Century of Progress" World's Fair in Chicago, which drew millions of spectators. The showroom atmosphere helped promote the new product and its various incarnations to a national audience.

What made the 1934 Ford so innovative? The body was "nothing experimental," claimed Ford, but there were some significant changes to the model when compared to Ford's 1929 version. The V-8 engine, three-point suspension, reshaped grill, straight hood vents, and body-colored fenders added something new to the mix, making this classic car instantly recognizable. Today, this car's body style is favored by auto restorers and, along with the 1932 and 1933 Fords, one of the most popular starting points for those building hot rods.

The unique design of the 1934 Ford helped Ford regain its lead over its major competitor, Chevy, and resulted in one of the most iconic cars of the 1930s. The solid, classic body and the engineering innovations helped catapult the car to fame. Starting at a price of 650 dollars, and heavily promoted by Henry Ford and the Ford company, the 1934 Ford remains one of the company's most notable early successes, and many auto enthusiasts' favorite model.

How To Choose A Quality Cookware Set

If you are considering purchasing new cookware, you probably are wondering how to make the most sensible purchase and still get all the pieces and features you need. Price is always a major factor in deciding which cookware set is right for you. Choosing the perfect cookware set involves much more than color and the availability of nifty glass lids that you can see through. If you are a serious cook, or simply want the best deal for the price, you will need to be more practical in making your decision.

The main factor in choosing cookware is the material from which it is made. Copper is very expensive, but conducts heat better than any other material. Heat conduction allows your food to cook evenly. You will undoubtedly find cookware that is constructed from stainless steel with a copper reinforced bottom. The problem with this type of cookware is that the bottom of the food will cook faster than the rest, making it very difficult to avoiding burning and/or scorching your food. Braising is out of the question in a stainless steel pan with a copper reinforced bottom.

You need cookware that allows heat to be distributed evenly. You are probably very familiar with pans that have hot spots. Hot spots are places in the pan where the food cooks disproportionately faster than in the rest of the pan. Cookware with even heat distribution is imperative if you are serious about the food you cook. The problem with copper, cast iron, and aluminum cookware is that certain foods will absorb a metal taste and color from the pans, not to mention you will ingest some of the metal that is transferred to the food. Copper will scratch and discolors easily, but every cook should have at least one copper bowl for beating egg whites. Copper bowls will allow you to beat eggs whites to their maximum volume.

Aluminum is inexpensive, but as mentioned before, will react with certain foods in an unfavorable manner. Aluminum wears down quickly, although there are anodized pans that will cut down on reactivity and increase durability. If you opt for aluminum cookware, anodized is the best choice. Cast iron is good for searing steaks and a few other specialized cooking tasks, but you must keep your cast iron cookware seasoned to avoid sticking and pitting of the pan.

The fact is that there is no perfect cookware. Each has its own benefits and drawbacks. Stainless steel is probably the best compromise. Stainless steel is in the middle price range and heat conductivity. It is durable and cleans easily and will not react with any type of food you cook. Another good choice is stainless steel with an aluminum insert that goes all the way up the sides of the pan.

The conclusion would seem to be that in order to get a good set of cookware, you will have to spend some money, but it is not necessary to get the most expensive type. A good stainless steel cookware set with a few special pieces such as a non-stick frying pan, a copper bowl, and any other extras you desire will be your best choice.

Police Lights - The Changes Over Time

What used to identify a police vehicle has changed over time. The police lights we used to see in the previous decades have been replaced in many states with light bars instead. In the past flashing red lights on a bar have been replace with illuminating lights that often "dance" across the top of the car. While providing more visibility to the police vehicle in pursuit of a suspect or during a stop on the side of the road, they can also be distracting to drivers on the road. Of course, this can be helpful as well because drivers will have the need to be more observant.

Police lights can also be overbearing and block a driver's field of vision when they are moving across the top of the light bar. While this provides plenty of warning for others who may be approaching the police vehicle, it can create visual impairment as well. In addition to the flashing bar lights there may be differences in colors as well. Some states include a combination of colors-for example, red, white and blue-instead of the standard red or red and white lights. They may also include LED bar lights in the grill as an additional warning device for approaching traffic.

When people choose to use LED bar lights on the tops or grilles of their vehicles it's important they choose colors that do not interfere with those used by police. While the standard red police lights have been replaced in most states with a color combination such as red and blue or red white and blue, the standard red flashing lights are still used by other emergency vehicles. It can be confusing for an approaching motorist if a construction or road service vehicle uses lights that are the same color as the lights emergency vehicles commonly display.

While it is common for states to vary the color scheme of police lights, they do not do so in an obvious way. For example, you will not find a police car displaying green and maroon lights-this would cause confusion for motorists who would have no idea there was a police car in the area. While this could prove useful for unmarked police cars that are attempting to apprehend speeders, for the most part the practice would cause confusion and chaos. Changes are only good when they make things easier and more uniform; when they have the potential to cause confusion and chaos they should be avoided at all costs.
