Re: Fridge Cooking
Hello, I noticed you reverted my edit that redirected Fridge Cooking to marination. At the moment your article provides no citations describing the process of what is essentially marinating foods. To not get into an edit war could you explain your reversion? -- MacAddct1984 (talk &#149; contribs) 14:07, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I am a newbie, and was editing when what ever it was you sent came to me. It confused me, and I thought it was something I had done.

I was thinking I should state that fridge cook is not marinating, close, but different styles. for your info, I will explain, but it might take me a bit to find the words for my artical.

Marinating is primarly done to raw veggies and meats. usually an acid based marinade for meats, so the meat is tenderized. I don't know of any recipes, although they may exsist; that you cook the meat in the marinade. and yes veggies do get marinades, ie marinated veggie salad, or some do it in kabobs.

Fridge cooking is used to save time in large quantity cooking. Not sure your culinary skills, or backround, but in large quantity, many things are made 1-2 days prior to the day of service, example--- Bolgenese sauce, meat sauce or spagehetti sauce, whatever you call it is made the day before. it then sits in the fridge until the next days lunch or dinner, increasing the flavour, allowing the seasoning to blend, same as you do when you simmer a sauce for 4-8 hours. difference being, you don't have to stir or worry about burning, or do anything to it at all, the fridge, along with time, is doing all the work for you.

also pulled pork is often made like this. cook you pork, however you desire, and pull it. most people then add sauce and cook for hours, before the end of the day it goes in the fridge and is pulled the next day, reheated and served.

with fridge cooking, you cook the meat, pull it and add sauce. put it in the fridge allowing the flavours to blend, essentially fridge cooking it, and then just reheat it the next day.

A modest proposal
Shollett, you mentioned you were a newbie around here. I hate to see a new editor's first effort get ground up and washed away right out of the box. The deletion discussion on your article seems likely to result in deletion, because no one (including me) has been able to find reliable sources to support the cooking method you've detailed in the article. You mentioned on the article Talk page that: "You won't find any documentation of fridge cooking because it is such a new concept. I am here to document it, and try to validate it." If that is the case, then the article probably doesn't belong in an encylopedia because among other things, Wikipedia is not a publisher of original research, rather, it is a compendium of articles based on verifiable, third-party sources. Having said all that, you can have the article "userfied", meaning you (or another registered editor) can move it from public space to a sandbox under your user account. There, you can work on it without having your elbow jogged by well-meaning, but annoying watchers. You can take your time, perhaps find references to add, and even invite other editors to take a look and give you feedback, before you let it loose again into the wild. That's what I've done with articles I've created. It works well. Instructions for moving your article are found at the page I noted (just click on the Wiki-linked word "userfied" above). Hope this helps you stay around a while. Geoff Who, me?  22:37, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
