Guest guest Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Nothing like a cast iron seasoned griddle. I won't use teflon, I just don't like it and not sure it is safe.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 In addition, if you own pet birds, the odour from Teflon is toxic and can kill them in a very short time. People used to think it was only if overheated, but tests shown that the fumes are released even at lower temps. Cathrine GeminiDragon wrote: > Nothing like a cast iron seasoned griddle.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Hello, I'm on step 6 and looking to change over to a vegetarian diet. I am not much good in the kitchen, and currently love being able to throw a chicken breast or similar onto my George Foreman griddle, and was wondering if anyone could help me find something easy I can replace the meat with? Thanks Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Hi Steph, welcome!! I used to be a meat eater, and made the switch to vegetarian eating a year and a half ago. It took me quite a while to make the switch--two years! I started slowly and let my body tell me how much was change was too fast or just right. There are lots of quick meals you can make. In fact if you look back in the archives for the last week or so you'll see a wealth of suggestions for quick lunches. I can't say there is an equal substitute for a chicken breast, but there are definitely easy quick things out there. One idea for a quick meal is a cup of black bean or lentil soup, with 2 poached eggs on top and crackers on the side. That's one of my favorites. Heather There are two ways to live your life.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Thanks Heather, I will look back, thank you. Actually, it's amazing what posting a message does, it nudged me to go dig out my instruction book, and there are instructions on how to griddle tofu, so I may try that. Your soup idea sounds yummy, is that home made? Steph x , Heather Butler <hawaiihmb wrote: > > Hi Steph, welcome!!

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Steph, I've found such great canned or dehydrated soup mixes for lentil and black bean soup I haven't made it from scratch in awhile. It does speed things up that way, too! Let us know how the griddled tofu comes out! I've used tempeh on the foreman grill before to use in sandwhiches. Heather There are two ways to live your life.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Yay Heather, I was hoping you were going to say canned soup (phew) I don't have loads of energy or time, so that's a fantastic idea. I've never cooked tofu or tempeh (love that idea of putting it in sandwiches) and I will come back and report. Wonderful, thanks so much :-D Steph x , Heather Butler <hawaiihmb wrote: > > Steph, I've found such great canned or dehydrated soup mixes for lentil and black bean soup I haven't made it from scratch in awhile.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 I had a spicey veg soup today for lunch [loads of veg in stock with cumin & a little chilli, blended] with a tempeh burger in pitta and a bowl of veggies on the side.
