Can you tell me who all my cakes (round, square or sheet) end up with a bump ( hump) in the middle?

Can anyone tell me the difference between Model 200 and Model 220 of the Victorio Strainer. And if you have either...what is your opinion of it. I will be using it primarily for grapes and elderberries.

I made a cheese ball for a party tomorrow night and found out the event has been cancelled. I have another party next Tuesday night (5 more days). Can I freeze the cheese ball? I used cream cheese and grated pepperoni cheddar cheese and plan to roll the ball in french fried onions just before...

I canned some tomatoes and okra yesterday. Used quart jars. Jars were hot, tomatoes and okra were hot. Left 1 inch headspace. Made sure all the bubbles were out. When I took them out of the pressure canner and put them on a rack, some of the jars oozed a bit, but they all sealed. Why does...

I need some suggestions on the best juicer to use for elderberries. I am using the same method I use for grapes (heating and pressing), but it is slow going and not very productive. Help! Please!

I have an All American canner and live in a hard water area. The canner and the racks are always discoloring. I simmer cream of tartar in water to remove the discoloring and this works fine. My question is...can I add a spoonfull of cream of tartar to the canner while I am canning? Kinda...

I am going to can some grape juice. Last year I used the boiling-water method in the Ball Blue Book. This year I'd like to use my pressure canner. Can I? If so, how long should it process and if not, can you tell me why.

Has anyone tried making brownies using a cake mix? I tried a white cake mix and just added 3 eggs and 3/4 cup of oil and stirred in raspberry chocolate chunks. I used a 9 x 13 pan which was lined with waxed paper. The result was very good, but not quite brownie consistency. Any suggestions?

I want to get my DIL a yogurt maker for Christmas. I would appreciate any feedback you could give me as to brands to look for or to avoid. Thank you.

DIL asked me if she could cook several chickens in her pressure canner. This is an All American canner and is big. She wants to make space in her freezer by freezing cooked chicken meat instead of the whole birds. Has anyone used their canner for straight cooking?

Does anyone know of a website which shows how to cut and arrange sheet or round cakes into interesting shapes. My Grandson wants a chicken cake for his birthday and I can't figure out how to do it. Help please! :?

Does anyone know where you can find paper liners for the large (Texas) muffin tins. I can find plenty of the regular size and also the mini size. I live in a rural area (Walmart is about an hour away and I couldn't find any there), so perhaps there is a website you can point me to. Thanks.

Here is the recipe that started the Vanilla Chips thread. I haven't tried it yet. Cream together 3/4 cups sugar, 3/4 cups butter, 2 eggs, 1 tsp. vanilla and 1 T water. Add 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp. baking soda, 1/2 tsp. baking powder and 1/2 cup of Tang. Stir in 1 1/4 cups...

I found a recipe for Dreamsicle Bars. It calls for Tang and vanilla chips. Does anyone have any idea where to find vanilla chips. I've seen peanut butter, cinnamon, white chocolate and cherry, but not vanilla. Help please.

I want to make a basketball shaped cake for my Homemakers group. If I make a perfectly round one (two layers made in pyrex bowls), how can I prevent it from rolling around on the plate - or 'relaxing' into a mess. My alternative is to make half of a basketball. Has anyone tried this? Any...
