Oh dj that would be fantastic. Maybe I just haven't had the right recipe - yeah, that's it :0 Thank you for that kind offer - I will give it a shot: ) Wow 20 sales a week? You must be in a great area for that. I don't think we are. Unless signs are around I can't afford to drive around just...

I don't mind wasting flour - it would be worth it if something just turned out edible!

Thanks, dj, for the encouragement and all the info. You are so nice to share. I may actually try again. You're making me want to try: ) Would love to succeed. Well, again, who wouldn't, huh? My mom made fantastic pie crusts, but never bothered to show us or want us around to help. I...

Ok, my face is redder than red - just found one 9 miles from here. Almost too embarrassed to tell you. Thanks! Will have to check it out. I can't believe this.

I never heard of TM, but that doesn't mean there isn't one around, I suppose. I'll have to ask around and see if anyone else knows anything about it. Would love to find one nearby. I love discount stores!

p.s. I can't even make decent bread in bread machine - does that tell you anything?

Oh dear dj, I doubt that I'll become a great baker at this stage of the game. I don't have that long to stay with it, hehe. I would just like to get the hang of it enough to not dread it. My dd & ddil love to bake so I usually count on them for cookes, cakes, etc. I do okay with muffins...

Wow, thanks to both of you for replying. Well, I'm not a pro for sure, dj, - ha - and can't afford to run out and buy the latest newfangled thingy out there too often, but have seen so much about silicone that I thought it might be something to try. I've never been much of a baker, although I...

Hi MiFW, I was just wondering if anyone had used silicone for anything other than cookies. I did understand what you were talking about, but I've seen so much about baking with silicone today that I was trying to find out if anyone thought it was worth it. I see it advertised so much. Tried...

Thanks, FM, guess I'm going to have to look for this Silpat brand. It seems to be the keeper: )

BTW, I wish I were a cooking "nerd."

Thank you all for replies. I haven't heard of these brands. I take it that all the ones you mention are good for cookies, then. Has anyone used silicone for cakes, muffins, bread, casseroles, etc?

silicone So what is the best brand of silicone? Is the smartware on TV any good? Is there something specific to look for? I've tried to read reviews, but they all seem to have some who love and some who hate no matter what maker. Some stain easily, others stick, and yet others keep the...

Hi, Would someone be kind enough to share the Nevco Manual with me? It has upper and lower vents and 5 trays. A friend gave it to me, but I never used it and now have decided to give it a try, but there are no instructions in the box. Would like to eat healthier and save $ at the same time...
