    Time and temperatures for slowcookers?

    There is one thing posted in that link that is not totally accurate. How do I test my slow cooker’s cooking temperature? Using an instant read thermometer will ensure that your unit is up to temperature. Crock-Pot® slow cookers reach the simmer point and stabilize on both High and Low at about...

    Anyone know how to write a CV?

    I don't know that anyone is going to be able to give you a good answer for this question since you are trying to read someone else's mind. From what I read, one of the worst faults you can exhibit when applying for a job is "NOT" following directions. CV may mean different things to different...

    Cookware why not BAKEWARE?

    I agree wholeheartedly!! I was a little shocked when I first signed on here at the number of forums. Not sure I ever remember seeing a discussion forum that had more forums. In fact, there might be some merit in considering reducing the number of forums??

    Anyone have a GREAT chocolate chip cookie recipe

    Larry: This may come a little late in the day; but I'm sort of conservative, I guess, and think you can't get a better cookie than one from the recipe on the Nestle's Toll House bag!! That being said, if you want to jazz them up a little, I would suggest the following. Talk with your friend...

    Coil Burners

    I'm a fan of cast iron and have used it for years. That being said, you still have to be careful as you can ruin (warp) a cast skillet if you let it get too hot for too long. Every stove heats a little differently, so I can't offer you specific settings. You will just have to experiment a...

    White chocolate won't melt

    I don't know exactly what the problem is; but I just read an article the other day that "chocolate chips" (and presumably white chocolate chips)(Nestle's) are specially formulated so that they won't melt and lose their shape when used in cookies. Might be better to purchase bar or block...

    Why the orange flames?

    Actually, a yellow/orange flame means there is not enough oxygen available and the flame will be producing carbon monoxide gas.....not good in excess!! Check out this web site Riverside County Fire Department - Natural Gas and call your gas company immediately!!!

    Why the orange flames?

    Gas can be a dangerous cooking medium!! You need to call the gas company right now and chat with them even if the problem is not currently showing up. Better safe than sorry!! Are you on bottled gas (propane) or a commercial natural as line?

    What are the advantages of online buying saucepan?

    I agree!! If I purchase something on the recommendation of others.....friend, Amazon rating, Internet forum discussion, etc. .....then I purchase wherever I can find the product with the best price. If I need to see the product in person and handle it or whatever and ask questions of a sales...
