I've often thought about trying this brand but I never have because I have no idea how hot this stuff is. Can you enlighten me?

Excellent, thank you! I shall post my results.

It works really well.

Genius. Thank you.

I believe my molds are convex. Does that mean I should bake them longer than the times given in your latest recipe? I realize I can check them but I thought I'd ask. Also, are in individual molds put directly on the baking steel or are they baked on a tray on the steel? I'm thinking that if baked directly on the steel the oven would lose a lot of heat when you rotate them. Again, thank you for answering my questions.

Thank you. I will re-read it. I hope to give these a go soon.

Can I make and cook scalloped potatoes a day ahead of when I want them and re-heat before serving?

Thank you!

Air fryers make the absolute best grilled cheese sandwiches. I have had 2 BSOAs and for me, I never found the air fryer function worked well as an air fryer.

Hi, @JeffGC, I'm glad you posted again Am I reading this right, bake 10 minutes at 550 then only 15 minutes at 350? So 25 minutes in total? Also, why does the butter need to be clarified? I'm itching to make these again, but won't have time until next week. I do have fresh food grade beeswax. I'm going to follow your recipe and instructions. Not sure if I have the flatter molds or the ones that have a deeper dimple.

@JeffGC. Have you perfected the recipe?

That is a fascinating document. Thank you for sharing it and I wish you many successes as you continue with your endeavors.

This looks really good. I don't have any raspberries at the moment but I have blueberries. I can't think of why that wouldn't work, so I'm going to try it.

The app Flashfood tell you what the marked down items are in your area. I have used it in my past mainly for meat. If you want to buy it they remove it from the display case and store it in a refrigerator in he customer service area.

That is by far the most interesting introductory post I've ever seen. I look forward to your future posts and welcome to eGullet.

Welcome to eGullet.

I agree with @rotuts on t h e Campari tomatoes. They're good too.

@AlexWhat does the summer Farro salad have in it?

For the first time in my life I bought and cooked some Farro the other day. When cool, I added roasted sweet potatoes, corn, basil, cherry tomatoes and mustard-dijon dressing. I could not believe how good this was. Any other Farro lovers? What dishes do you make with it?

I don't know the answer to your question but who had the prime rib roast for sale?

It doesn't appeal to me. At all.

How would one know?

Who's buying one of these? From NYT Wirecutter: Simple, (almost) instant smoking Photo: GE GE Profile Smart Indoor Smoker, available now, $1,000 At CES I saw more grills, smokers, and meat thermometers than in my local Home Depot, but the standout was the countertop GE Profile Smart Indoor Smoker. Smoking adds distinct flavor to all kinds of foods, but it’s typically done over lower temperatures for long hours, requiring the cook to camp out in the backyard by a hot black metal bin to feed the fire and actively manage the smoke and the temperature. To do it well, in other words, you need passion, time, and skill. If the GE Profile Smart Indoor Smoker works as billed—the company says you can set it to specific recipes and let it do the work, or you can independently control the heat or smoke level—it can effectively turn smoking into a readily accessible cooking technique for anyone who wants it, just like air frying or sous vide. Imagine popping a few eggplants into a microwave-sized appliance to make killer homemade baba ghanouj on a weeknight, or smoking your own spice blends or chiles whenever the mood strikes. I got a sneak peek at this cooker late last year on a research trip to the GE Appliances manufacturing plant in Louisville, Kentucky, where I got to sample some perfectly prepared wings hot out of the box—tender, smoky, sweet, and moist. A few more important details: The smoker uses the same pellets as traditional pellet smokers do. It fits 40 wings, a brisket cut in half, or a whole chicken, and it has the same technology to keep the smoke safely inside the appliance and out of your home as the hearth oven made by Monogram, GE Appliances’s luxury brand. —Rachel Wharton, senior staff writerm

You're right! It's not that I could never be a fan -I like mysteries but I have never read any of her books.

@Pete Fred. I printed the recipe and the ingredient list has one adding 1/4 nutmeg, freshly grated. I have no problem grating nutmeg, but 1/4 of one seems much. I'm assuming this should be 1/4 teaspoon?
