what's cooking today hey y'all welcome
0:31
to what's cooking with Paula Deen today
0:33
it's it's a day that I'm gonna take some
0:36
questions and answers
0:38
okay I'm Jeannie I'm from Oklahoma and
0:44
my question is how do you tolerate this
0:47
humid weather we have humid weather but
0:49
not this bad and also what is the best
0:52
way to make melted butter in the
0:55
microwave okay
0:59
humid weather
1:01
I spent 72 years in this state y'all
1:05
which is my whole life and I have not
1:08
adapted yet I think I was really
1:13
supposed to be born a little Yankee girl
1:15
because I hate the heat I love the south
1:20
but I hate the heat y'all so to me you
1:25
it's just something you don't ever get
1:27
used to but if you want to live in the
1:29
south there's certain months that you
1:31
just have to tolerate and the best way
1:34
to melt butter in the microwave is I put
1:36
mine in on 30 seconds and I keep doing
1:39
it until I've got it melted and then if
1:42
you want to clarify it you just dip the
1:45
butter off the top or if you've got one
1:49
of those cups it separates fat from
1:51
liquid you can put it in there because a
1:54
good bit of butter or margarine has
1:57
water in it and you really don't want to
2:00
saute or anything with with the water
2:03
part of the butter so just skim that the
2:06
pure butter off and
2:09
then throw the the water away and I see
2:13
yeah it's easy-peasy in fact I've got to
2:17
get me one of those cups it separate
2:19
grease from juice I used to have one
2:21
year's going I lost it but those come in
2:24
so handy all right here we go hey Paul
2:29
I'm ray I'm from st. Louis Missouri
2:31
actually here for my dad's World War two
2:37
reunion unfortunately all the gentlemen
2:41
have passed but the children get
2:44
together once a year and we pick
2:45
Savannah this year so we're glad we're
2:48
here my question for you is on a lot of
2:51
cooking shows they use vanilla but I
2:53
don't see them using pure vanilla I get
2:55
my vanilla from Mexico I just wondered
2:58
why use vanilla extract versus vanilla
3:02
that's it thanks all right her name was
3:06
Renee right didn't she say her name was
3:09
Renee I think she said that I tell you
3:14
what Renee here in our house we make our
3:17
own vanilla and it's so easy to make in
3:22
fact the the very first bottle I made it
3:25
was bought at a store and it's called
3:27
Perpetual vanilla and all you have to do
3:31
is is get your vanilla pods and cut them
3:35
down the middle and then take you a
3:37
sharp paring knife and just scrape all
3:41
of that goody out of that bean and then
3:46
you just put it in your bottle all that
3:48
good gooey stuff you just put it in your
3:50
bottle and then you add your beans and I
3:54
probably do about four or five holdings
3:58
and then I fill it up with vodka some
4:02
people use a bourbon but I like vodka
4:06
and it usually takes about six weeks
4:10
before you can use it and it's so much
4:15
more financially economical to make your
4:19
own vanilla personally I don't use
4:21
anything but pure of
4:23
I have to rely on the store so I don't
4:27
know what they're using on the cooking
4:29
shows you know I don't watch anymore I
4:33
try to just do the cooking and not watch
4:36
