What's wrong with using aluminum in the CSO?

Yes, I have two of them, in two different sizes. I don't use them for bread, but I use them all the time for muffins. I was gobsmacked by how well they work.

I bought a Cuisinart electric knife specifically for slicing bread. It didn't do a very good job so I returned it. Now I just use my Wüstoff serated bread knife.

Here we are, the 1974 edition. Notice the price in the right hand corner - $1.95! I still make some of the recipes.

I used to have a fair number of the Sunset books as well. One i was particularly fond of was their Appetizer book.

@RandomCrapThank you so much for chiming in. I plan on making more batter soon and will try it again. How full do you fill your molds? I leave about 1/4" from the top. Edited to add: I don't have a baking steel, would a pizza stone work?

Ours, both fridges and freezer have an alarm that goes off if a door is even slightly ajar. However, we did have a stand-up one once that didn't. A lot of cooking went on when we discovered the door had been left ajar. And as is the case with @dtremit a far bit got pitched due to it having been in there far too long.

Welcome to the forum, Wagner. Looking forward to reading your posts.

What???

I have the book also but have yet to make anything from it.

Wowzie!

Sigh. 🙁

The pictures are still up, crossed out with unavailable written across them.

The only thing you can get here is pizza, fries and a soft drink. They removed the turkey/provolone sandwich, the chicken wings, the salad and the ice cream.

That looks fantastic. I wonder if you made them as minis, if they would freeze? I have one of those mini cheesecake pans.

That is incredible! Even after taking some cake decorating classes, I couldn't as much as make a proper Wilton rose.

I have one of the super duper Breville ones and have maybe used it twice. I have a small Cuisinart that I use quite a bit. It's light and doesn't take up much real estate. I wish I had not bought the Breville.

Thanks! Just bought the Heatter book.

Upthread I mentioned the problem I was having with my 13" USA Pan for pain de mei. I got my replacement today, free of charge and I get to keep the old one. Pleased with the result.

Thanks for a great tip. I too have some very brittle vanilla beans so this is really good to know.

@shain looking at your blitzes, I'm almost tempted to make some. They look delicious.

I tried these last night. It's a gloopy mess working with that cornstarch mixture and the potatoes. That said, these first few were very good, but as they cooled, they were no longer crisp. I'd just as soon have smashed potatoes.

I went to the Mexican store yesterday and they don't have it. I showed them a picture and they said they did not know the product. Too bad. I would have liked to have gotten my hands on some. @gulfporter You might want to have a look at this: https://www.earthnvine.com

In their Holiday Bread book their recipes are in volume, and weight in both imperial and metric. At least the recipes I've made.

When the book first came out they came out with a list of corrections and I wrote the corrections in my book. I looked on their web site and couldn't find it. Maybe you can contact them through their web site and ask them about it? Meanwhile if you see something you want to make, ask me and I'll check to see if there was a correction for that recipe.
