Be careful not to overcook fish, as it will become very
tough. Meat, poultry, vegetables and fruit cook in
approximately 6 minutes per pound, but fish and seafood
take only 3-4 minutes per pound. Orange roughy or other
mild white fish are good substitutes for the catfish in this
dish.
1 lb. catfish filets

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup crushed cracker
Mix mayonnaise and spices. Coat fish on both sides with mayonnaise mixture and roll in cracker crumbs. Arrange fish on microwave rack or in casserole, thickest portions to the outside.Microwave on High power (100%) for 3-4 minutes. Let stand a few seconds and check for doneness. Fish will flake easily when done.

you could also rub it with some cajun spice, saute it a little, and then add some canned pineapples (the ones that look like circles i'd recomend, not the chopped) and saute them too in the same pan while the fish is finishing cooking (i think i added a little bit of the pineapple juice they were sitting in in the can as well) — then the pineapples soak up some of the cajun spice and they become spicy pineapples!!!

When I quit laughing I will be able to tell you that you are still probably a better cook than me.
When I told my husband I wanted stay home with the kids (or I didn't want to go back to the office) he couldn't understand why because I don't like to cook or clean. He was missing my point–I stayed home to play with the kids–not cook and clean.

Nola2, I was more than fair to my home town New Orleans in my commentary. What would you have one say that could be fairer? It has great food but Cajun is Lafayette and Acadiana. Creole is New Orleans. I didn't “knock” New Orleans at all and invited people to go there and taste what it offers, but the Cajun culture IS alive and well in Lafayette and that includes cuisine, family and language. If my comments were deemed unfair to New Orleans, then the Big Easy needs to take a deep breath and take it easy! One CAN explain Cajun and New Orleans without being labeled unfair.

Bittman's concepts are very sound, even though his technique may not be at a consistently high level. Isn't that the biggest difference between a home cook and a professional cook? The ability to deliver a high quality meal consistently?Most home cooks can marinade 4 pork chops and throw them on a grill, cook them to perfection, and have a great meal. But none of them can cook 100 a night, every night for a month to perfection.]]>

is time-saving, actually. When going for the regular cooking time (around 40 to 50 minutes for brown rice in a normal pot), this equals around 25 to 30 in a pressure cooker. The reason why I pressure-cook it for 50 minutes is that brown rice doesn't agree with my tummy if I cook regularly. I need to cook it longer to be able to eat it without pain. In a regular pot, I'd have to cook it for around 90 minutes to get it into that state.]]>
