Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

With just a little practice, we have learned to make the most delicious curls ever! [ NOTE: Buying the 6 8oz-bags on this website is the same price as at the Butler Curl website ($29, both including shipping). However, the 12lb bulk box is WAY cheaper on their website ($99 here or $62 on Butler's site, including shipping)! ] Because they're in the freezer, I soak them a little longer than the package says. But DON'T soak them until they're soft! That's too long - trust me. You want them slightly firm & just a little squeezable. Next, strain and squeeze out all of the water. You can do this ahead of time so you can marinate your curls for longer. Add a little water to make it a runnier marinade & squeeze it a few times, letting it marinate, sit, squeeze out, marinate, sit, squeeze out.. until you're ready. Then squeeze one last time & pour off the excess liquid. Voila! For example: an easy way to marinade is to put squeezed curls into glass container. Pour on soy sauce, vegan Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, a little agave and a ton of spice. Close, shake and let sit until you're ready to cook. (Try any flavor combination! We've seasoned these in so many different ways. Don't be afraid to experiment.) How to cook: place in cast iron skillet in a single layer. You can use a little oil if you want but it's not necessary if your pan is seasoned. No need to turn a bunch of times or do anything crazy. They're kind of a throw-them-on-your-cast-iron-skillet-and-forget-it kind of food... almost. Just let it brown on one side while you get the rest of your meal together. Flip once or twice to brown all sides. That's it! Wow. So easy and so delicious. Seriously.. You will never want to eat another brand of veg protein thingies and you certainly don't need to eat any dead animals. These magic curls are filling, delicious & exploding with protein. We always always always have them on hand. (We buy the huge box now! Just store in a cold, dark cabinet.)
