Haven't made it to the store yet for buttermilk powder, but I tried the some recipe this week with some tweaks: reduce 1.5tsp baking powder instead of 2tsp increase 1tsp cinnamon instead of 0.5tsp cinnamon add 0.5tsp baking soda add 1/4c raisins, chopped a bit Didn't notice any difference in...

I guess my more general questions are: -Has anyone else noticed a slightly unpleasant baking powder taste with a quantity of 2tsp baking powder? -How little baking powder can you get by with when using buttermilk? I'll probably give it another go this weekend. I'll try to remember to post back...

Hi all, Hoping you can steer me in the right direction on this biscuit recipe I threw together last weekend. I wanted something tasty baked *now* so made biscuits to avoid waiting for a rise :) I glanced at a few recipes and guessed at how to incorporate the apple-sauce-instead-of-fat trick...

Thanks again for the suggestions. I know I want to stick with the pressure cooker rather than the crock pot because the vegetable flavors from the PC are just to wonderful to give up. I don't mind cooking it for quite awhile, but I also don't see any obvious reason to avoid some preslicing to...

I see, I wasn't sure if I was in danger of overcooking the meat so the slicing thought was just to avoid that potential pitfall. The descriptions I have read seem to suggest that the proteins will coil up tightly and squeeze out moisture if overcooked. I'm not sure I can imagine it actually...

Attempt number 3. Cooked for 40 minutes under pressure, then released pressure to add veggies, brought back up to pressure and cooked another 5 minutes. Result: the exterior quarter inch or so was perfect - falling apart and delicious. The interior of the meat was very flavorful and delicious...

If this is correct, it would seem this is one of the wide spread urban myths. Even the wikipedia page states states that marinades tenderize. Are you certain this is not the case?

Whoops, looks like I should have searched this very forum for cross rib roast and pressure cookers: http://www.discusscooking.com/forums/f48/how-do-you-cook-a-cross-rib-roast-18912.html Sounds like it is a good idea :)

Thanks everyone for the helpful information, you are quickly dispelling large segments of my beefy ignorance. I had read somewhere online that an acidic marinade used for longer than a day can make the meat mushy. Can I also ask you folks if this is correct? I thought a friend had told me...

Thanks a bunch for the info! I'm going to have to give this dish one more try and cook it longer to see how it goes. I found some more info here: Tender beef - What causes toughness? This one states that over 100*C you get additional tenderizing, which my pressure cooker will readily supply. It...

About a 1.5 weeks ago I bought a big hunk (about 3.5 lbs, I think it was) of boneless beef bottom round roast since it was on sale for $1.99 / pound. Threw it in the pressure cooker for awhile, maybe 30 minutes, then depressurized it to add potatoes/carrots/cellery and cooked it another 15 or...

I really liked the episode of Good Eats on pie crust, he goes a bit into why lard makes a flakey crust: I Pie Transcript (link to the transcript of the episode)

Hi, I got a Kitchen Aid mixer (the 475 watt one from Costco.com) for my wife for Christmas, and neither of us has done a whole lot of baking before (a little bit, but not much). I want to have the ingrediants on hand come Christmas morning that we can whip up something delicious right after she...

Looks like the KA food grinder is only $21.xx after rebate at the moment on Amazon: FatWallet Forums - KitchenAid Mixer Accessories 25% Rebate-Ice Cream Maker & Food/Sausage Grinder was $127 now $70 AR or lower @ Amazon

I did not go in person, I just called and asked if the pasta rollers & cutter attachment was on clearance. The person I spoke with went and found it on the shelf and said it was $120 or something. :( This was the Sears at the southcenter mall, I guess I'll try calling the one in...

My very first burr grinder was this very model, I'm always looking for the best deal so I was hoping I could avoid all of the expensive burr grinders I saw. Unfortunately, the one from Costco produced a very inconsistent grind in my experience. I can get that from my $10 whirly blade grinder. :)...

I was hoping to use this for the pasta attachment, but my Sears doesn't have them on clearance so too pricey for me still :( http://www.kitchenaid.com/assets/pdfs/other/5375_2ND_ATTACH_REBATEv5.pdf The specific items that the rebate covers are listed in the rebate form. Enjoy!

I checked in the Seattle area and they are unfortunately not on clearance. *snap* I would've liked to get one, but definitely not for full price :-o

They got me for a mixer from Costco last week, and now I just ordered a beautiful coffee grinder from them. I have a good burr grinder for my espresso machine at work, but only a blade grinder for home. I saw this great deal and knew it was time to upgrade at home WOOT! :D...

My wife has wanted a mixer off and on for a few years, but we always decide against it because they're pricey and we hardly ever bake. We always think - do we really want something that makes it *easier* to make cookies and other tasty/fattening sundries? :) But once again I find myself...

FYI - I wasn't very happy with their burr grinder, it gave me very non uniform sized grounds (uniformity being the main point of a burr grinder). I ended up going with a prosumer model (innova), but at the lower end my research found that the gumball looking hobart / kitchen aid ones were the...

Is this sears item 00869944000, kitchen aid model KPCA (the set of two rollers)? Looking at sears.com, they're still listed at $79.99 for my local Sears :(
