A few years ago I bought a Breville convection toaster oven. I've been pretty happy with it. It's also an air fryer, although I've only used it once to reheat some left over onion rings. I got it on sale at BBB and even though the coupon excludes Breville, It was no problem using the coupon...

I have one of these. It's by the company that makes calculators for contractors and real estate agents. I guess they have a model for every profession. https://www.bonappetit.com/story/calculated-industries-kitchencalc

It had already been said that cast iron needed to be properly seasoned. I didn't feel the need to repeat that. Sorry if I mislead. Chad

Here is the aftermath of cooking scrambled eggs in a thrift store Griswold CI skillet. The eggs came out very easily. If you want CI, good places to look are thrift stores (I got this 60 year old Griswold for less than $10), and stores like Marshalls. I am always seeing Lodge skillets there...

I normally use the timer on the microwave which works fine unless the DW decides to heat up a cup of coffee while I'm cooking. :wacko: Chad

I brought a Coleman coffee maker with me when I went camping. It is like a Mr. Coffee machine that fits on the top of a Coleman white gas stove. It takes a while to brew but the coffee it produces is pretty good. The only problem with it is it's size. It's pretty big and comes with a glass...

I figured that the heat would kill what germs were on the pan. I'm from Tucson which is filled with retirees. This pan was probably some old ladies pride and joy and when she died her kids just shipped it off to Goodwill. I'm glad that I didn't strip the seasoning that she spent 70 years...

I thought about incorporating the pan into my kitchen but the wife said that it's so non-stick that it should be a camping skillet. Hopefully one of my other CI pans already in the kitchen will make eggs so well. The lack of a question mark would imply no. Chad

I went on a 4 night camping trip and brought along a Wagner Ware skillet that I had bought at a thrift store for $5. The second morning I decided to try my hand at scrambling eggs in the pan. I didn't do anything to this pan after I bought it, in fact it still had the price written in grease...

I just wanted to let everyone know that I tried baking cookies again today and this time they turned out. I still can't believe that I didn't use enough flour. I think I'll link to the cookies to help me trouble shoot next time. Thanks, Chad

What an idiot I am. You know I normally use 4 1/2 cup measures and then one 1/4 cup measure. My daughter has been helping me and I used a 1/4 cup the whole time. I guess I forgot to change my math. Is there a red-faced emoticon? Thanks for the help. Chad

The edges of the pan are maybe an inch high. I have been using a 1/4 measuring spoon to scoop the flour and putting in 5 scoops. The oven was preheated each time. Also I made this recipe three times in three days and each time they turned out exactly like this. Chad

I used butter. The same butter I always use. The first day the cookies spread, I put the dough in the refrigerator, made a second batch and they spread. The second day I made a new batch, they spread so I got out the batch from the first day and made a batch, they still spread. Everything...

I'm using the Nestle Toll House recipe. 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened 3/4 cup granulated sugar 3/4 cup packed brown sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 large eggs 2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) NESTLÉ® TOLL...

This is the third batch of chocolate chip cookies I have made in as many day and they have all looked the same. I have been cooking for almost 40 years and this is the first time I can remembering this happening. The first two times I thought the butter/dough was to warm but the cookies spread...
