No, the pans look like there are two per loaf, but it's just how the pans are made--they have a double lip. Just one pan per loaf. These are the ones I bought. Steam boy is getting ready to have a steam bath. He got dirty during meatloaf cooking lol.

Had to test the Silver Queen last night. It's almost done. Still good enough to snarf down. The one with the smut was mine

I caught myself wishing that I had two CSO's last night ......I'd have to get rid of the Breville...but it doesn't do much these days besides hold my bread and croutons lol. I had bread success!!!! Thank you, @Anna N, for your trouble shooting and giving me a recipe. When I pulled the loaves out of the oven they were making this lovely "crackling" sound. The one on the right had a little ear sticking up..which I couldn't wait to pull off and eat. My husband snatched it before I could . I proofed it for 30 mins at 100F. Then I turned it to the bread setting and baked it for 30 mins at 350F. The center of the bread is supposed to read 190F when finished. Mine was at 207. I will shorten the baking time to 25 mins next time and see what I get. After the bread was done, I steam baked a venison meatloaf. Ronnie said it was the best meatloaf I've ever made. I put it in at 350F for 50 mins. The internal temp should read 165F...I forget what mine was but it was higher. I will do it at 45 mins next time. I was going to make some zucchini bread today, but I think I'll use my Instant Pot and give the steam boy a rest lol.

@Okanagancook How did the dehydrated okra turn out? Will you simply snack on it or do you have other uses? I have an Excalibur that I can drag up from the basement. Also, I need to pickle some okra--a friend of ours LOVES pickled okra and I think he'd be thrilled to get some from my garden.

Jo, I'm glad you're on the mend. No more eating out for you lol. Liuzhou, that melon looks so good. I have one (I think it's a honeydew, actually) growing in the garden that I am anxiously awaiting. The Silver Queen corn in the garden is just on the verge of being perfect. Had to test a few ears last night. Not quite done yet, but still very good. The one that I had been peeking at ended up getting some smut on already. That was my ear to eat . Venison meatloaf, taters, gravy, green beans and homemade bread also.

HATCH! This sounds and looks SO good. Gotta get my order in this week for chiles.

We like you interacting on a daily basis After each of my blogs were done I felt a little off kilter.....so I know how you feel.

Ronnie caught some fish yesterday to go with my fried okra

Aw, man I think I said this last year....it always feels like my summer vacation is over when you guys leave. Be safe going home. See you on the other side

Yay!!! Okra!!!! I wouldn't think you would need anything to help it stick. The "goo" that comes out when you slice will be enough IMO.

Kielbasa on homemade buns with garden onions and peppers.

I would give a lot to have a slice of that right now.

Have fun, everyone and take lots of pictures!!!!

Beautiful, Chris!

I made some venison zucchini meatballs last night in the steam boy. 15 mins on steam/bake at 350F. Super tender.

Steve, your fried green tomatoes and eggplant look perfect. I hope you and your wife heal up FAST. RRO, I love me some crawfish. I do believe that races would have livened up the afternoon. I've tried to do that here at home but each time the race is interrupted by a couple of cats that can't keep their paws off of the competitors. Lovely fish, Liuzhou. I always like it when the whole fish is served like that. I had some frozen tomatoes from last summer...and a plethora of squash and eggplant so I made some sauce. There are some venison zucchini meatballs hiding under there that I made in the steam boy Cuisinart. Good stuff. Oh and zoodles. No pasta. I love my pasta. But, I can deal with zoodles. They surprise me at how close they come to the real deal. OH and we are really liking the marinated eggplant (seen on the what are you preserving thread). We use it as dressing and everything on salad. Highly recommended.

The two I've done were so fun....it was a documentation of stuff I was doing anyway. The hardest part is remembering to take pictures Links to my blogs are at the bottom of ...well, hell, what do you call it??? If you look down at this post you will see links.

Glad you joined us!!! Looking forward to seeing your cooking Maybe some day you could do a food blog ...... (hint hint)....

Fried chicken hearts, thighs and gizzards. And the star of the show...fried okra

OH YEAH, I forgot ribs and yogurt. We cold smoke the ribs, vac pac and freeze them. When ready to eat them I IP them for about 50 mins the slap some bbq sauce on and broil in the oven. Heavenly.

Hard boiled eggs Cheesecake Chicken stock Green beans and new potatoes Collard greens Beans

I just read your blog. I'm very interested to know if your bananas dried out. I tried and tried and just couldn't get them crisp like they are when you buy them dried.

No, what you said makes perfect sense. My brain simply thought I could divide the dough and voila! Perfect bread! I'm on the hunt for a recipe specifically for 2 8 x 4 pans.

Ah ha! Ok. Thanks. I knew someone smarter than me would be able to help

Yes. I divided the dough in exactly half (I weighed it) and put it in the two 8 x 4 pans.
