Home › Forums › Cooking — (other than baking) › The strength of bayleaves
I put a closed bag of Penzey's bay leaves in a plastic container. I then removed them in favor of peanut butter pretzels from TJ's. I noticed the pretzels had a slight bay leaf taste so I washed out the container with soapy warm water. The bay leaf taste still lingers. I kinda like the taste and will use these bay leaves in everything.( Of course the bag must have 50 leaves!)
As an aside I think the popular spice which you will probably see often is coriander. IMHO!
One of my friends uses bay leaves to deter moths. I've also heard of using them to deter bugs in dried goods.
I mostly use them in stews, soups, and spaghetti sauce.
I don't know that I've used coriander more than once or twice. What do you put it in, Navlys?
For savory spices, I use a lot of rosemary.
I'm seeing "coriander" showing up in sauces and rubs. I mostly see it in newspaper and magazine recipes.
Bay leaf is a very strong and persistent spice.
There are two or three different types of bay leaves, Penze's are the good ones. That's one spice I always buy from them.
