Serving Basket

Why people eat barbecue sandwich in a napkin, not a plate or basket?

I think this is a thing of the south. I've worked in restaurants in the south, and people make BBQ sandwiches (pork, beef, chicken, etc.) from the basket that was served in, and place it on a napkin at the table, and eat there. I never understood why!

Just because it usually has to be put down and the baskets are small and bump your hand. In addition to is easier to clean that way, if any spills.

Coffee is a common beverage that many people consider a daily staple. It helps to start their day or round out their night. Enjoying a good cup of coffee can be relaxing, stimulating, rejuvenating and simply delicious. If you are a regular coffee drinker you may already know that the taste and quality of the coffee you drink has everything to do with what you add to your coffee before you drink but most important, how the coffee is made.

Many coffee preparers believe that one of the best ways to prepare coffee is to grind the beans right at the time the coffee is to be made, preserving the fullest flavor of the bean by not cutting it until the last minute. Others indicate that it is the type of coffee maker selected that determines the greatest flavor.

Perhaps the most common are automatic drip coffee makers. These inexpensive machines allow you to place a coffee filter inside the basket and coffee grounds go into the filter, which is made out of paper. Cold water is then filtered through the coffee system and drips into the glass carafe, which is seated on a warming plate. Some variations on the automatic drip coffee makers include those which have no carafe and allow one cup to be poured directly at a time, keeping the rest inside the maker.

Percolator coffee makers are often the preferred choice for companies and institutions where large amounts of coffee are needed at once. Percolators can make as many as 24 cups of coffee in the larger makers while some smaller ones may make just a single serving. Coffee is made via a circulating method where hot water is boiled as it runs over the grounds repeatedly. This method tends to make very strong coffee that is sometimes bitter tasting.

Stovetop espresso coffee makers work where a funnel filter filled with coffee is placed in a boiler that has water in it. With a top fitted on tighter, the entire assembly is placed on a stove burner or can go over an open fire. As the boiler is heated, the coffee brews. This type of coffee maker has no way to stay warm other than the external heat that is continuously applied, which can cause the coffee to burn.

Automatic espresso coffee makers have become increasingly popular over the years. Variations include those that are semi-automatic, fully automatic and super automatic. The most sophisticated models not only grind the coffee beans, but they also eject the used grounds when the brewing is complete. These makers are the preference of those who love bold, rich taste in coffee.

Vacuum coffee makers are probably the least popular of the styles mentioned here. This is a coffee maker that is somewhat complex and works with two containers and a siphoning system. Although brewing only takes a few minutes, those who invest in vacuum coffee makers are sometimes fascinated with the process not because it is fast but because the maker turns the water into a vapor then into coffee.
