I need eggplant help. Apparently i need to drain and/or salt it. the joy of cooking is of limited use. can anyone walk me through this?

what are you using it for?

slice it, sprinkle salt over both cut sides, lay the slices in a colander. Let it sit for 20 minutes or so, then you can rinse off the extra salt and move forward with your recipe. Salting eggplant leaches out the bitterness that it can sometimes have.

Haha. Thank you too! A for effort!

I also am wanting the cheese. Damn you, lactose intolerance!

Just slice it, rub salt on both sides of each slice, and allow to sit for a bit (30 min to 2 hrs, I would figure. you could probably get away with less, though). It will draw the liquid out i think.
