  We have found the best way to cook bacon is in the oven.  The even heat will keep it from curling and help it to be nice and crisp.  

we bake ours at 500F for 2 minutes a side.  See our video “Best Way To Make Bacon.”  

  When deep frying make sure your oil is at least 375 degrees farenheit. We like to get our oil to 400 F.  You want to fry at 350F or above so that your food does not come out all greasy.  When you drop your food in the oil it will lower the temperature of the oil.  Frying in small batches
will help keep the temperature up.  See our video “Fried chicken(grain/egg/dairy free)”

  If you can’t have potatoes, malanga root and yucca root are good
substitutes.  We have made french fries with both.  Just cut into 1/4
inch strips, boil until fork tender the fry them up.  You can add flour
and spices before you put them in oil. Cassava flour works very well if
you can not have grains like rice or wheat.

Watch our video “Green Beans & Potatoes Nightshade Free” to see how to use them in stews.

  Starting boiled eggs with cold water will help the yolks stay yellow.  Adding baking soda will help the eggs and the shell to separate better.
Taking the eggs from the boiling water directly into an ice bath for at
least 15 minutes is called shocking and will make the eggs easy to
peel.  Adding salt to the ice bath will help lower the temperature for
better shocking.  Watch our video “Boiled Eggs Take 2”
