I would have never thought of that. I will have to do this! Thank you!

God bless both of you--Kay and Carol--I cannot for the LIFE of me make pie crust. My Grammy made the best. I mean the best. And she showed me and well etc etc. I cannot do it. I've decided my hands are too hot???? Anyway, yep, doughboy is my man.

Thank you! I SO agree. My husband says they don't taste like homemade and I completely agree--they taste better. Sigh, but he likes homemade...or maybe he's just being difficult in his old age lol.

For test purposes I baked only 2 the first time and the time/temp/setting worked perfect with just 2 and as many as the 11 shown in the picture (I had 2 bags of biscuits just in case they were needed).

Just dropping a note here: I can't make biscuits worth a darn....well, I have made decent ones before but it's always hit and miss. Anyway, I hosted a brunch and wanted full-proof biscuits so I bought Grands frozen ones. I put them (in frozen form) on the pan on parchment. Baked them at 375F using the Steam Bake setting for 18 minutes. Turned out perfect.

Had Ronnie's kids and two grandkids over to have our Christmas today. I made brunchy food. I about had a major crisis. My oven has some kind of a short in it....and it's been like this for about a year. It's in the electronics that displays the time...and lets you set the oven temp etc. It just turns off for no reason. If you beat the crap out of it, it comes back on...then it shuts off after a while and so on. Which is why I rely heavily on the CSO and the Breville ovens. Anyway, I needed to make a full size casserole today so I had to use the oven. Mr. Oven decided to be an extra pain in the ass and shut off a million times. ARRRGH. But, in the end the casserole was a success. From scratch white cake cupcakes--I don't know why I don't make these more often. Well, yes I do. But dang they are good. Christmas cookies that did wonderful in the freezer until today Dried beef cheese ball Tater tot/ham/ Hatch chile breakfast casserole Sausage gravy Biscuits Not pictured--mini croissants with homemade raspberry jam....that no one touched. Hope they freeze well.

It has a tiny "bite" to it still....you might like the broccoli at 30 seconds better.

I feel the same as rotuts.....My IP's are always out and it's just so handy to throw my veg in there and I get the same results every time--I do a lot of broccoli for stir fry dinners in there....we like our broccoli a tad more done than it gets in the stir fry. Now I'm not saying I do something like frozen peas in there

I don't trim them up much.....maybe a few are bigger than bite size but not many.

I do both broccoli and green beans at 0 and they come out about perfect for me (quick release method). There are times that I want the beans more done--like the southern style with bacon and new potatoes. Those I do for 20 mins.

SV'd ribeye, tots and salad I had some little pieces of pork belly frozen, so I thawed those out and did them in the Instant Pot for lo mein. Eggrolls and sticky chicken thighs (couldn't find any wings in the freezer) to go with.

I think she looks totally fine right there. If you love your steam girl as much as I love my steam boy, there is no way she's going on the shelf.

I'm considering putting all of my cheese on the porch whilst I make and bake the sausage rolls. Wouldn't want even a whiff to get on them.

Yeah...I figured. Thanks though I am loving reading about your finds.

I am going to go dig in my basement...there MIGHT be another. I know I have a "frog" but I dunno about the vase. Sigh.

Not anymore

Like I said, it was just a distant, dumb friend that wanted to know....

Oh wow

WAIT. You mean the vessels that have a thingy with holes in it to hold stemmed flowers?

NICE! I suspect it is worth much more.

That pitcher looks like something that would go for a bit of a price......but I'm no expert.

Ok. Point taken. I was just asking for a friend.......

Is there ever any sharp cheddar cheese added or would it all melt out during baking? Just wondering.....

I know you'll find your niche in Miami, Franci. You are super talented. Take some time for you and I hope the move goes smoothly.

Fried a chicken for NYD....the required greens are spinach that is in the stuffed mushroom.
