Crisco Cooking Chronicles Giveaway

By /

When I attended the Smucker’s Pantry Event last year, I had a first hand look at some of Crisco’s amazing products. At the event, we were able sample the different olive oils. It was a lot of fun! If I have a choice when I’m cooking, I usually choose olive oil or vegetable or canola oil. I use olive oil in my pasta, as part of a salad dressing, or to saute meat or vegetables.

Crisco has launched a new addition to their site called Crisco Cooking Chronicles. It provides a forum for consumers to connect and share their cooking and baking stories via a message board function. It will also serve as a hub for video tutorials and tips for tackling everyday cooking and baking challenges so that home chefs can make the most out of their time in the kitchen. The tutorials section will kick off with an olive and canola oil theme and will help consumers incorporate more easy and delicious recipes into their everyday diets, such as “Herbed Parmesan Bread Dipping Oil,” “Grilled Salmon with Maple-Dill Glaze,” and “Classic Blueberry Muffins.” During April, the site will focus on popular grilling recipes for the Spring and Summer months.

MY THOUGHTS

I love Crisco and am impressed with the quality and taste of their oils.  I use Crisco Oils in the majority of my recipes at home.  Thank you Crisco!

    I didn’t leave a comment, but I like that you can ask a question. Sometimes you just need a recipe and can’t find it anywhere

    I registered for the Crisco Cooking Chronicles, then answered a reader’s question: How do you make Sweet Potato Fries! Check out my recipe on the Crisco Chronicles – it’s really good!

    I submitted a chronicle, but it said it would take 48 hours to appear. Mine was about finally succeeding using egg replacers in cookies and quick breads. I love that they have a recipe box. It is helpful when you are at a relatives house and want to look up your recipes.

    I did not leave a comment, but I watched and learned from their videos. Thanks for sending me there I will be back, to learn more.

    What I like is that you can help with a recipe if you need it. Some recipes seem to assume a certain level of cooking expertise and not all of us may have that expertise. I’ve messed up so many recipes – some with expensive ingredients – that I’m grateful to find a place to ask “newbie” questions!!

    I didn’t leave a new chronicle, but did comment on one about onions! Love the fact that there is so much info, and great recipes, with the ability to save to your own recipe box.

    On of the things I liked about the site is the video tutorial about the different types of olive oil (virgin, extra light, etc).

    I love their video tutorials – I always wondered about the differences in olive oils and when I should use what kind, and now I know!

    I couldn’t leave a cooking chronicle, it seemed like all of mine were taken.

    What I liked about the new site is the message board forums. There seems to be a lot of places to ask for help. I also like the “promotions and news”. Good stuff there that I’ve bookmarked! Thanks so much for this giveaway!

    I loved all the tips. I love to cook but have to admit that I am probably one of the most cooked challenged people I know. I am so lucky to have a family who never complains but thanks to the tips I am really looking forward to being the cook I have always wanted to be.

    Since I learn best when I can see something, I like the videos. I especially enjoyed the Italian Pasta Salad video. Thanks.

    My computer didn’t like the cooking chronicle section of the site – so I couldn’t do that part. I love finding new recipes and coming across old ones that I had forgotten about.

    I can’t get it to work–I get an application error when I try to submit. But I can read them, and I like the real-life experiences rather than test-kitchen professionals!

    I made a “chronical comment” but it’s not yet visible – it says it can take up to 48 hrs. to post.

    here’s what I said though:
    I have a lot of cans of evaporated and condensed milk (not sweetened). How can I cook with this? Can I use it instead of milk when frying chicken or when making things like waffles?

    I love this new site by Crisco – a place to get ideas is always helpful!

    I loved the tutorial about olive oils. I’ve always been confused about the differences between them. Now I feel like I know what to look for.

    I couldnt think of a cooking chronicle. I love the tips and quick and easy recipe ideas. It’s a part of the Crisco site I could see myself visiting often. Thanks for the review and giveaway!

    I like reading other people’s suggestions. For instance one suggestion on the Crisco chronicles site is to put salad dressing on a grilled cheese sandwich. I’ve never tried it, but I have a feeling that tastes wonderful. I’ll try it next time I make them.

    I don’t think my link worked –
    Here was my post – When I tried to be thrifty by buying several boxes of pasta dinners when they were on sale I ended up with several ruined packages because of bugs getting into the box. I discovered that I could freeze the packages indefinitely without any decrease in quality. Now I don’t hesitate to buy an abundance of sale items and just store them in the freezer.
