what is prepared mustard

Ben said:

I keep seeing prepared mustard in recipes but have no idea
what it is. In some other recipes I have also seen the
word prepared followed by some other ingredient (maybe
mayonnaise and the like?). Can anyone tell me what makes
mustard prepared (what makes it unprepared)?

Prepared is the "wet" kind in jars, versus the dry powered
mustard like Colman's/ Goomba

Perpared mustard is the mustard you see in jars (usually
ball park (yellow hotdog/hamburger type) mustard). A
recipe pre-made (mixed mustard seed flour with water and
possibly vinegar and some spices as well). Like French's
mustard. So when you see prepared mustard...use a brand of
mustard you like.

Dry mustard is basically mustard flour. Again a pre-made
recipe but one without any liquid. (a blend of various
mustard seeds ground up, to a factory's recipe)

The use of the word prepared means that the item has
previously made/cooked, usually by a manufacturer in a large
food factory.

Prepared mustard is the ground mustard (sometimes called
mustard flour) mixed with liquid and perhaps other
ingredients, ready for table service from a spoon.

Only 7 days until my birthday. "Shop early, shop often, shop

gin and good chocolate? I can never remember. . . .A diamond

mustard, prepared Prepared mustard is generally made from
powdered mustard [I make my own and often incorporate
*crushed* mustard seed] combined with seasonings and a
liquid such as water, vinegar, wine, beer or MUST. American-
style prepared mustard is a mild mixture made from the less-
pungent white seed flavored with sugar, vinegar and turmeric
(which makes it yellow). European and Chinese prepared
mustards are made from brown seeds and are much zestier and
more flavorful. The French are famous for their tangy DIJON
MUSTARD, made with brown or black seeds. The German prepared
mustards can range from very hot to sweet and mild. Chinese
mustards are usually the hottest and most pungent of the
prepared mustards. A multitude of domestic and imported
prepared mustards are readily available in supermarkets.
Unopened, prepared mustard can be stored in a cool, dark
place for about 2 years; once opened, it should be
refrigerated.

Be sure it's a non-metalic spoon... some folks have a habit
of leaving a metal spreading implement in the mustard jar...
a big no-no... ruins the mustard (especially never use
aluminum, not even to wrap mustard laden foods). Some folks
use silver but it turns black almost immediately. Use wood,
bone, horn, glass, and my favorite, porcelain.... I must
have close to two dozen porcelain mustard jars with matching
lids and spoons. Even plastic tends to wreak havoc with the
natural oil contained in mustard.
