    What are some foods you loved that they don't make anymore?

    Nabisco used to make these little soft vanilla wafer sandwich cookies with marshmallow in the middle. They stopped making them in 1989. They were so yummy. I used to always take a box to business college with me way back when. Anyway, if anyone has any doubts about what is still around...

    Food Saver any one?

    I love mine too. When they first came out I bought the regular size one. But when I saw how much I was freezing and using the containers, I gave it to my SIL and got the big one. It is a great kitchen appliance. What really sold me even though I already had it was, I had gotten some coconut...

    Oven thermomters...

    An oven thermometer would definitely be good investment. If there is something wrong with your oven temperature it needs to be fixed or adjusted. Having an oven thermometer would let you know how much your termperature is off up or down. Also, if you can't get your oven fixed or adjusted, at...

    Looking for recipe similar to Whipped Bettercreme Icing

    I am looking for a buttercream icing similer to the Rich's Whipped Betterceme icing that you have to order outside and get from bakeries. I would love to be able to make the icing at home. It is not as sweet as most buttercreams but that the same look and texture. I've seen on-line that...

    Good pressure cookers?

    Also, the electric ones don't make any giggling noise, at least mine doesn't. I would never go back to the ones you put on the stove.

    What can I use to grate lemon peel?

    Aren't they a great kitchen tool? I just love grating fresh cheese, the cheese comes out so light and airy not the like powdery stuff you get in the containers in the stores. Also, microplane.com is really great. I had purchased my rasp years ago. I was in Sur La Table a few months ago, and...

    Sponge Candy

    Sponge candy is also known as honeycomb candy. They are usually mixed in with boxes of good chocolates. Here is a link to a website that sells it along with a picture of it. They have tiny honeycomb like holes in the candy. http://www.fowlerschocolates.com/page/FC/PROD/MC/SC

    Good pressure cookers?

    I've had a Mirro one for over 20 years and was always afraid to use it until about 10 years ago when my mother actually showed me how easy it was. But a few years ago I bought one that was electric and digital, so I just have to set it and walk away, plus it keeps the food warm for 4 hours...

    How do you clean a crockpot without a removable crock?

    Hi, I know what you mean. I had bought mine I don't know how many years ago, I finally parted with it two years ago and now only have the ones with the removeable pots. They are so much easier.

    What does bench proof mean?

    Thanks, I kind of figured it was something like that, I just had never seen a term like that before. Anyway, this is the place I saw it mentioned: http://baking.about.com/library/recipes/blbr10.htm I've been trying different recipes and when I saw this it stumped me a little bit, but wanted...

    English Muffins

    Hi, I had found the recipe a while ago and have wanted to try it. It mentions a griddle of 300 degrees. I only have a cast iron griddle that you put on the stove. Would medium be considered 300 degrees or what temp do you suggest I use for this. I have a Viking gas stove.

    How do you clean a crockpot without a removable crock?

    JulieV, I used first pour hot soapy water into the crockpot and let it sit for about an hour, depending on what I had in there. If it was something I could just wipe off, I didn't soak the pot. I then put the crockpot into the sink and dumped out the soapy water. I wiped the inside of the...

    How to take out cheesecake out of the springform to serve?

    You can either use parchment paper, cake liners, or line the whole inside with foil. Once you chill the cake "completely" then you can just gently lift the cake and peel away the lining. I've done this many many times and never had a mishap. I don't like serving cheesecakes on the springform...

    Snack before bedtime??

    I have very strange needs. On one hand I love peanut butter on butter crackers before I go to bed. But then 30 minutes later, I need something so very sweet, and when I can don't have it, I have to make my own right then and there, no matter what time it is. So I make a whole batch batch of...

    Anyone Have Any Funny Baking Disasters

    I just thought of another mistake I made myself baking Christmas cookies for work. Years ago when I still lived in NY, I made cookies for the guys at work for Christmas. I always made these special butter cookies among the assortment. Well this one year, I made more of an assortment than I...

    Anyone Have Any Funny Baking Disasters

    I tried to see if there was a thread for this and couldn't find one, so if there is one, I apologize for repeating it. I thought this thread would be funny and interesting, I didn't know where to put it, so I thought I would put it here. When my sister and I were about 8 and 10, she decided...

    Pancakes

    I tried your recipe for the pancakes. They were very good, but I have been using a recipe that is exactly the same except you added the extra 1/8 cup of milk. I found that any pancake recipe I add 3 tsp of double acting powder and to any pancake mix I also add 3 tsp of double acting powder (as...

    My New Toy!

    I got as a gift the Lello by Lello Self Container Ice Cream Maker a few years ago http://www.makeicecream.com/simmagicecre.html 4070 and started to love making my own ice cream. A few months ago it died on me, and the Chef's Catalogue refused to send me another one and instead chose to credit...
