Worthington Question

[Guest guest]

My dh would like to make a vegetarian version of his " beef " stew and we

thought about using some of the Worthington veg steaks. How do you recommend

cooking it? Should the veggie steaks be cooked a long time or put in at the

end?

 

Thanks in advance for any advice!

The Worthington Vegetable Steak is not a favorite of mine, but then we all have

different taste buds, so don't let me scare you away from trying it. Others do

like it.

 

One thing that is wonderful about the meat substitutes, at least the

Worthington/Loma Linda which are my favorite brand of meat substitutes, are that

they need that they are basically cooked, so you don't need to cook them very

long. I add them at the time I add the vegetables and cook until the veggies

are tender or a casserole is baked for the amount of time the recipe says.

 

I think that I would add the Worthington/Loma Linda Swiss Stakes or Prime Stakes

diced up to a stew recipe. Add the gravy from the can in with it. They are a

canned product so click on " canned " on the side bar of this website.

Amazon.com is a great place to buy it. It is no sales tax, free shipping and a

good price. Also you can go to any Adventist Book Center and find them and a

good selection of other meat substitues(frozen, canned and dried).

 

Another suggestion is to buy the Worthington Choplets. Dice them up and brown

them in a little oil and sprinkle some Mckays Vegetarian Beef like dry seasoning

over them and toss well.

 

Fri-chik is a vegtarian chicken meat substitute that I add to a lot of different

soups, rice casseroles, make a " chick*n " salad with and use many other ways.

 

Hope this helps you.

Susan,

I'd vote for putting them in near the end. Sometimes the meat substitutes can

get rather rubbery if over-cooked. I usually add the vege meat near the end, so

there's some time for it to absorb some of the flavor, but not enough time for

it to get to the rubbery stage.

Hi,

 

I like most of the Worthington products. However I'm going to

be a kill-joy here. Feel free to ignore me here. At least in California

even though Amazon charges no taxes on items, you're actually

supposed to pay the tax. There is a box on the state tax return

for Use Tax. Guess what? That's where you pay the sales taxes

the companies like Amazon don't charge you. I have a feeling

that many states are like that. I like Amazon. I understand they

don't want to deal with state tax laws and figuring it out for every

state and even county. Slowly states are taking those companies

to court on this matter. I may be one of the two or three people in

all of California who actually pay the tax. I wish I could designate

where my taxes go though.

 

My apologies.

 

Gary

Canned vegetarian products are already cooked so they would only really

need to be heated thru, just use it as you would cooked meat. I use my own

home made gluten/garbanzo/soy product and after the product is finished I

know that I can cook whatever soup, stew, or other dish and add it at the

last minute to heat thru. When making casserole dishes of course it goes in

with the other items.

Does California charge a tax on food?

What if you live in a state where we do not pay

sales tax? I live in Oregon and we don't have taxes

on our food or clothing purchases...

Then, at least with respect to sales tax, you are

a lucky individual. In other words, you're just

fine until the fed govt decides to start taking in

sales taxes ;<) .

Oops. You are 100% right that California does not

charge tax on most food. So with respect to Worthington

products ignore my post if you live in California (and most

other states but not all). Of course that means that with respect

to taxes Amazon does not benefit most people if you are ordering food

items. However their prices usually are lower.

 

California -

" In grocery stores, unprepared food items are not taxed but vitamins and

all other items are. Ready-to-eat hot foods, whether sold by

supermarkets or other vendors, are taxed. Restaurant bills are taxed.

As an exception, hot beverages and bakery items are tax-exempt if and

only if they are for take-out and are not sold with any other hot food.

If consumed on the seller's premises, such items are taxed like

restaurant meals. All other food is exempt from sales tax. "

 

I got that from here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sales_taxes_in_the_United_States

 

Amazingly enough I see that Alabama does charge tax on food

as do several other states.

 

Thanks for catching my faux pas.

 

(Except now I have to pay a bit more attention to my Amazon

bills since I should not pay taxes on Food items. Fortunately this

is the first year that I actually ordered a case or two of Worthington

products. In the past it has all been primarily CDs, DVDS and books.

Another interesting (okay maybe just to me) tax note is that you can

download software and you don't have to pay tax but if you get the CD,

in other words some physical good, you do have to pay sales tax. Then

there's also the things about if shipping and handling are separate noted

items you pay tax on one but not the other (I forget which one at the

moment). Not sure if this applies in all states).

 

Sorry, I should go back to food, eh?

I received 2 cases for free from a Freecycler, now that's a deal.  She ordered

all of these products ate one can and decided the veg lifestyle wasn't for her.
