Ohhhhh. So you can change the gauge to a rocker! Cool.

Thanks all for the responses. It does not look like the Extension office deals with gauges. Still checking up on this though. Where are there other canners without the gauge. Saw the one at Wallmart but it looks a bit small.

I was wondering of your thoughts on something. I am looking for a good pressure canner and in the reviews there appears to be pros and cons of having either a gauge or the jigglier. Which one do you like and why? At first I thought the gauge was best because it is on all the more expensive...

I have been tracking sodium very well in my food and as you might know you even have to account for your daily shower and drinks of water... it all has sodium. This new twist to now track carbs is .... well seems.... very hard. I have just started though. Just got the news last Friday actually...

Yeah this is good. Believe it or not I have an assortment. Black eyed, Green, lentils, kidney. I mean when I wrote I have been trying. I REALY have been trying:) Have a beutiful Indian cookbook, but your recipes Yakuta seems a bit easier perhaps. Thanks much!

Hello all! I was recently diagnoised Diabetic. This book I have is just another example of someone telling me that beans would help. I also have heart disease and need fiber among other things. It's not that I have not been trying. Man I have been trying to make bean dishes. Here is my one...

We just came back from Chilies restruant. Last time I went there was two months ago. Today was my second day at work full time and I am so exhausted its beyond belief. So I thought I'd treat myself with my favorite hamburger at Chilies. It was great..... but..... now that I have been...

Making mozzarella is very easy. Be aware though that you need to get the curds VERY hot to stretch. I have a bowl of cold water to dunk my hands in and I wear thick rubber gloves. Of the resources that are listed one is not. http://www.cheesemaking.com/ She has a book that I have and it is...

Yes it is a tighter weave. Any fabric store... many wallmarts have fabric departments. I got mine at Joanne Fabric. They had all colors... obviously you dont want red:)

That was the first thing I tried... all cotton... I had some white so thought maybe it would work. The raw canvas worked better. I would buy it if it was not so expensive... 17 bucks is up there. I got the tip of raw canvas from "The breadmakers apprentise". He was talking about those nice...

Corkscrews..... I've always had a problem with them as well. But no more! And I tell you this one I have dont cost much either. You will never have a problem with cork in the wine or anything. This corkscrew has two prongs. One longer then ther other. You put one prong on one side of the...

marinating/Coating With a cardiac diet I am discovering that finding something to marinate with or give food a good coating of is very hard. Can't use soy sauce any more... terriaki is out of the question.... BBQ... forget it other then a small amount... Italian dressing (HAHAHAHAH....) no can...

Would you know these "crusty" pieces in the baked bread?

The one I made with Raw canvas seems to work very well. Made two breads to date with it. I am not sure what the difference is... the one sold could just "look" nicer.

1. Hot Shot... I'm a tea fanatic... things would take a long time without my hot shot. 2. I have this large and heavy wooden spoon I use for all my bread making that needs a spoon. I used to snap them left and right before I found this heavy one. 3. Ginseng cooker. This is a small little...
