DocF Posted September 12, 2015 #27 Share Posted September 12, 2015 We serve boiled carrots sometimes. We add a bit of brown sugar (or artificial sweetener of your choice) and ground ginger to the water while they are cooking. The time of cooking will vary depending on the size hunks you cut, how soft you want them to get, etc. Drain, add butter (everything's better with butter) and serve hot from the stove. Do not try to serve those pre-cut hunks of root. They are the salvage that broke while they were being harvested. Get whole carrots and peel and cut yourself. I know, this will not help you one little bit in a restaurant or on a cruise ship.;) Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tennessee Titan Posted September 12, 2015 #28 Share Posted September 12, 2015 A floppy carrot, therefore, can be disconcerting. I could not agree more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfish Posted September 13, 2015 #29 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I am so happy that I have company on the carrot issue. I refuse to eat them cooked. Raw, they are ok, but cooked make me gag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Boston Posted September 13, 2015 #30 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I love carrots - cooked or raw.:( I agree with you. Whether I pull one out of the ground, rinse it off and eat it or cook them, I love carrots. Perhaps they don't cook them properly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlsSalt Posted September 13, 2015 #31 Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) Okay Mr Boston, here is the carrot challenge - which way is "proper" way to cook a carrot, including these from WIKIHow's vast repertoire of carrot cooking options? Even i have to admit some of them actually looked fairly good. I can also see there is a lot more to this art form of the cooked carrot than originally expected. I once had a carrot custard with very, very, very thinly sliced carrots layered in an egg-milk-cream base which was extremely good. And I can deal with carrot soup as long as the texture has been 100% pureed - Hal does a good job with this. And Indian cuisine has a sweet shredded carrot dish that also disguises them fairly well. Mask the texture of cooked carrots and I can meet you half way. Edited September 13, 2015 by OlsSalt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
