Has anybody used EarthPan cookie sheets? A friend of my sister's & mine gave me a set of cookie sheets for Christmas. Considering they came in a box, I figured they were bought on QVC. I'm NOT a fan of that channel and won't buy from it but our friend buys A LOT of stuff from them. I put the...

Help! I am looking for a brownie recipe that is in a 2011 Woman's World magazine. It would be within the last 6 months. I do not know the name of the recipe or what the pic looks like. The recipe is a coconut-flavored brownie that is made with a brownie mix and has coconut flavoring in it...

My Rice Krispy Treats are never soft. Whenever I make them, they end up being hard & chewy. What am I doing wrong? This is such a simple recipe and yet, it's not working out right for me for some reason. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Are metal baking tubes worth using? My aunt gave me a box of metal baking tubes. It's called Fun-Shaped Baking Tubes. There are no instructions with them. She didn't think there ever was and they've never been used. I've seen them in catalogs & on the internet but would never spend the money...

I am looking for a Red Velvet Funnel Cake recipe. I have looked all over the internet and can NOT find one...just pics. Does anybody have this recipe or know where I can find it. Darlene

How long can you keep an unopened bottle of white wine? I don't know anything about wine since I don't drink any alcohol. I just cook with it but it's every once-in-a-blue-moon. Whenever I do buy any alcohol, I try to buy the smallest & less expensive bottle I can get 'cause it ends up...

Are there any web sites where I can find former restaurant consultants and check them out? I got my former cook's job back a month ago when the husband/wife owners chose to reopen our small-town cafe after the state health department closed down their renter. I helped clean up the kitchen...

I'm looking for a specific dish drainer that I haven't seen in several years. I'm looking for a painted white metal dish drainer and the one end is raised. You put it under a dish drying tray to help give an extra boost to drain your dishes into your sink. My sister & I had bought one several...

I was wondering about the Pampered Chef apple corer/peeler. I've been invited to a Pampered Chef party. I'm not a fan of Pampered Chef. I prefer Tupperware 'cause I use their stuff more when it comes to these kitchen parties at home stuff. I do have a few Pampered Chef stuff...scrapers...

I've tried the hands & knees too but my knees got sore and so did my back. LOL I also got a headache from it. Our kitchen floor is small enough to do it this way though but I'd rather stand up and mop it instead. LOL I understand about the dog hairs. Got 2 Papillons & a Border Pap (Border...

I need to buy a mop to mop our kitchen, diningroom, & utilityroom floors with. I use a broom or the dry Pledge Grab-It or, the vacuum to clean up the dry dust. I need a mop for the wet-mopping. Have tried the Cedar brand sponge mops twice. The first mop I had had to be thrown out about 3...

I have a 4-qt. electric White Mountain ice cream maker. I just LOVE it! The neat thing about it is that you don't have to crush up the ice into smaller chunks, like the Rival & etc. such electric ice cream makers. I use about 10 lbs. of ice each time. Yes, it is noisy. I like making ice...

I LOVE our White Mountain electric ice cream maker! I've used it a few times. I've made the mixes and homemade ice creams. I've learned what recipes I like and don't care for. I'll still experiment with other recipes as time goes along and with the various milks & creams. I like having a...

Yes, it's easier to go out and buy store-bought ice cream. I like the assorted flavors there are. I live 15 & 17 miles from the nearest grocery store. So, if I want ice cream, I either have to drive into town to get some, have my sister stop by on her way home from work or, ask my parents to...

Thanks for the info, Uncle Bob! I checked out their web site and liked what I saw but hesitated about the price. They're more exspensive than what my older sister & I planned to spend. I checked out the various reviews and most of them were excellent. I've looked at other brands but didn't...
