what is AMC pot? Any pics to show?

Funz:

I guess when cooking, we have to take into consideration, the other person's taste preference. A rather daunting task sometimes. 1 kid likes fish the other doesn't, hubby likes spicy stuff, kids cannot take stuff that are too spicy. You prefer a lighter touch, DH prefer a heavier hand with spices. So how?


For me, I cater to the kids first then DH. My own preference takes a back seat. Yes we might argue that our partner's taste preference is unhealthy but it is better for us to put in that little bit more salt/spice then for them to go for that pack of instant noodles or eat out. It takes time to train the tastebud. So start with what they are used to and slowly bit by bit, reduce/increase the amount of the undesired/desired ingredients.

So far, DH will still eat whatever I/my helper will cook. He will give some comments but still polish off whatever is in front of him. Over the years, he has gone from 2 heaping bowls of rice, lotsa processed food and butter, coffee and tea with sugar & full cream dairy products to less then a bowl of rice, coffee and tea kosong, very little butter and processed food and low fat dairy products.

I use AMC pot, so don't need to stir (if use other pots, must stir occasionally, if not base will be burnt)

I cook most of the time at home, unless when I am not free, or raining too heavily to allow me to do my grocery shopping for fresh food to cook.


DH sometimes do not like the food I cook, says this too bland and not up to his taste, then don't eat. Lucky for me, my kid still appreciate my cooking. When ask my kid is the food nice, my kid will nod.

Spend at least 1 hour plus to cook, but my dh pour away the food if he don't want to eat. :sad:

Wah... your DH so bad.. mine makes me pour away the food myself lol..
At least, your kid appreciates.

I have to wait for my kid to grow up

Dun waste... share the chili crab recipe here! I want to try... I usually use the recipe from Leong Yee Soo's book and it's troublesome.

cherry gal, BTW, forgot to ask, why troublesome neh?
I know my mum uses some sour plum sauce for the chilli crab, but her version the gravy is more of the watery kind than the thick kind.
I have to go home dig the recipe liaoz hehe..

wah you cook your own chilli ah.. :salute:

shinri:

Hahahaha... I said going to waste because my mum uses her own special recipe chilli she cooked herself.

I think without this home-cooked chilli, the taste will be quite different.
People nowadays still cook chilli at home?

I know I wouldn't want to, since the house will be filled with the spicy fumes..

cherrygal:

But he doesn't dare to do what Shinri's hubby did. He finishes every grain of rice even it's bland coz he knows I slogged hard to cook. If he throws away my food, I will go on strike and not speak to him. Too much...

I used to cook on Sundays before having baby, but now have baby quite difficult.

好不容易 have some time, then try to cook, but seems like DH don't appreciate T_T
He complain not salty enough and then don't touch the food at all.. sigh..

i can understand how you feel.My dh likes salty stuff too. But i grew up with bland food , so the seasoning in my cooking is always a little too light for him. He used to put soy sauce into the food i cooked , and i used to get :mad: :mad: :rant: :nunchuk: , now i have mellowed alot. I compromise by including some salty dishes in my daily 'menu'. Or , i will put a small saucer of soy sauce by the side, so he can dip his stuff in there if he wants to.
