Here are a few technique tips I have learned that I can pass along: Preparing dry beans: Soak overnight in water. The next day, add some diced onion and garlic and simmer for several hours until soft. DO NOT add salt or anything like salt pork, bacon or canned tomatoes until after the beans are cooked. Salt will toughen the bean skins. Meat Selection: Lean beef or ground turkey are good ways to make a healthier chili, but may be too lean to brown nicely. Try adding two pieces of chopped raw bacon or a couple tablespoons of olive oil to the pan. Variety is Better: Experiment with different combinations of two or more meat or bean selections. Don’t Forget the Veggies: A good rule of thumb is to add chopped onions, peppers, celery, carrots, etc. equal to the quantity of meat in the pot. If you want to make “competition style” chili, dice everything very fine so that there are no discernible veggies when cooked. (I prefer a chunky home style myself) Watch the Heat: Hot peppers vary greatly from batch to batch, so even with a tested recipe start with half the recommended amount and cook the chili for a while. Then taste and adjust as needed. It’s very difficult to fix a chili if you get it too hot or salty, but easy to add more if needed. Give it Time: Chili isn’t fast food. The flavor and texture will improve just by sitting, even if it isn’t actively cooking. Make your pot early in the day and let it rest, or use a crock pot while you are at work. – Gowan Fenley

He usado Apcalis Oral Jelly, y también estoy de acuerdo con el comentario anterior sobre el precio, además de ser más fácil de encontrar que los genericos, tiene buena duración y efecto.
