I'm sorry to read that you have the flu. You need to stay in bed with Hannibal and the good doctor. As for the milk container, you can buy them without a lid or with a lid that slides on.

Yes, the spacing on the wire grill is wider than the non-stick one. It would be much more useful if the spacing was closer.

@AKS613 Those are fabulous. Do you have a link to a recipe you could share?

I love Claxton fruit cake. I buy it every year.

Welcome to the forum. Perhaps you could tell us something about yourself, such as where you are located and cooking interests?

@Kim Shook Is that a canele pan?

Can you post the other side? I'm thinking I could use this with the Control Freak.

I found that the spacing on the s/s grill too wide. For example, if doing asparagus, if you aren't diligent about how you move them, they can fall through the grate. I have attached a picture in case that helps.

I'd like to thank you for that link also. It looks delicious.

You will probably think of this yourself, but I line the bottom tray with tin foil. Makes clean-up a lot easier.

Agreed. That's why I think the cleaning tool isn't necessary as you can clean it without effort.

I have used the stainless steel grid once, for chicken, and I lost the best part of it - the skin as it stuck like glue. Haven't used it since. The non-stick grill cleans up in a flash, just using soap, water, and a cloth. No scrubbing required.

New Year's Eve we made a "grazing" table of stuff, rather than having a full meal. As I always do whenever we have shrimp, i save one for Zeus, so into one of his bowls it went. I made the mistake of leaving it on the counter, one of the few spots he is not allowed. Well, you guessed it. When I went into the kitchen a bit later, the bowl was there but the shrimp had disappeared.

That is quite the collection!

Thanks for that. I remember buying something like it in a grocery store, I think it was called tutti frutti bread or some such thing. I haven't seen it in ages and I used to really like it so I've copied the recipe into my recipe files.

Wow! I'm impressed! Nice work, @Kim Shook.

Sure beats a bag of peanuts.

@blue_dolphin Looks interesting. Thank you.

What does this taste like and what do you put it on?

I bought the Kindle version of Payard Cookies by François Payard and E. McBride yesterday for $1.99. I wanted the canele recipe.

I'm intrigued. Did you use the new sourdough yeast or sourdough starter?

I'm with @IowaDee. It looks to me to be an oyster shucker.

Welcome to eGullet. Do you make caneles?

@Anna N How thick was the chop and how long did you cook it for?

Me too. It used to be one of my favourites. That, and the late, lamented, The Far Side.
