    Pampered Chef stone

    Don't use any soap product on the stone unless you want your pizza, cookies and whatever else you cook on it to taste like Palmolive or Cascade! The hot water and plastic scrubbie will do fine; it will retain spotting-this is OK. Don't use the scrubbies with fine threading; they will shred...

    Vintage Cookbooks Passed Down in the Family

    1001 ways to please a husband: The Bride's Cookbook 1958 Cutco cook book 1961 The Art of Making Italian Deserts 1955 I use these daily; most pages are falling apart, spines crumbled and edges shredded.

    Electric Crock Pot Temps, how to tell?

    OK, I too read the reviews. I too have a proctor silex crockpot. Not a fancy one by any stretch; rather, the cheapest one I could find for ten dollars (yes, about five years old). I use it alot; never check the temperature. The contents bubble - that's hot enough if it bubbles a couple...

    Idea on making cheap tiramisu - zabaglione cake?

    Never made a cake with it-I think my aunt may have put it in between layers on a cake she made; sort of like icing. The layers were very thin. They slid around alot when trying to cut the pieces. I also remember the old ladies using it as stuffing for pastry-type desserts. If I remember...

    What set is best for me?

    We received this exact set when we got married. The block is solid but must be dusted daily since it's black (or not left on the counter at all). For the money, they're ok. After five years, we've lost 3 steak knives all to the same problem: the tips break off. All in all, for a hundred...

    Homemade Food

    We don't cook from a box or frozen unless in a very tight time crunch. We eat dinner every night, no matter what time we get home from work, even if it's midnight. No matter what I cook, I freeze serving size containers to quickly reheat in the microwave. I never buy prepackaged meals -...

    Foods you hated as a kid

    My mother fixed chicken livers with rice & peas alot - I picked the skin off the peas because it was weird and mashed the rice & chicken livers together like mashed potatoes and gravy. I could not leave the table until my plate was empty or she'd make me eat it for bedtime snack, then breakfast...

    How to prepare frozen, uncooked/raw meatballs?

    My mom just plops them into the sauce raw and cooks all day. My grandma says sear in oleo then put into the sauce. Dad says bake, then put into sauce. I would just ensure they were completely cooked prior to eating!

    Freeze meatballs?

    I regularly freeze meatballs and they're fine. When I make a big pot of them, I typically portion out the sauce and meatballs into meal-size containers. I use ground veal, pork and beef in them with egg and ensure the batch is fully cooked then cooled prior to freezing. I always leave about...

    Acacia wood salad set

    Solution! OK, after trying mayo, fine grit sandpaper and researching, my mother-in-law had the solution that worked! We applied moist heat in the form of a damp, steaming bar mop. All the white marks are gone! :smile: I am SOOOO grateful! I'll apply regular (:rolleyes:) coatings of mineral oil...
