  1. This is just a comment on KitchenAid products in general. I had a KA mini chopper which I loved because it was the only mini chopper that came with a blade that sliced on one side, shredded on the other. The little plastic thing where the top attaches to the work bowl broke off and I went to my favourite kitchen store to order a replacement. Much to my surprise, I found out that KA does not stock much of anything in the way of spare parts. This was some years back. I kept the motor part. Or I should say, John kept the motor part and I bought a Cuisinart mini chopper (no slicing/shredding blade). Our condo building recently held one of those "get rid of what you don't want" days and lo and behold, while I was nosing around i found my old prep machine's twin. The thing works and I now have a new-to-me work bowl. Ever since I found out they don't stock repair parts I have switched my allegiance to Breville and in some cases Cuisinart. My kitchen store guy says they always have parts. No more KA for me.
  2. Has anyone found a baking sheet that will fit in the CSO? I don't much care for the ridged one that came with it and would like to get one with a flat bottom. I saw a couple on Amazon that should fit but I thought I'd ask here first. Thanks!
  3. This is going to be interesting reading. I hope you catch lots of fish and that your Sweetie's pain lessens such that she is able to fully enjoy your holiday.
  4. Hi @Demy Welcome to eGullet!
  5. Both, really. Sad for her that she is such a twit and sad for you that you had to put up with it.
  6. That's correct. My digital subscription is the "all access" one which includes Cooking and Crosswords.

    Fruit

    I love mangoes.
  8. And I would add that the never used back-up CSO has to fail as well. There are a few of us who have them.
  9. @blue_dolphin i did make the dish Baked Sweet Potato Maple Crème Fraîche. I baked up two sweet potatoes but made the full recipe for the dressing. I divided the dressing between the spuds and while the dressing is delicious, I'd say the full dressing recipe was too much. But thanks for posting this as I will make it again.
  10. Alas, not on Amazon.ca
  11. I have all the ingredients for this. I am making this as a side. Thanks @blue_dolphin ,

    Jiffy love

    Count me in as a Jiffy person. I used to pick it up whenever we went south of the border as i couldn't find it here. Haven't done that now in a long while now, but I've put it on my list and will look for it next time I'm out.
  13. Is there any reason to not chill the ice cream custard in the freezer? Assuming you give it the odd stir?
  14. When possible, I make applesauce and freeze it in the portion sizes we use. We normally (pre-pandemic) have a family gathering in the fall and my SIL would bring me a batch of apples from their wild trees. They'd get chucked in the pot skins and all and after they are cooked, put through a food mill, catching the bad bits. Such wonderful applesauce! It is sweet but has no added sugar and a lovely rosy hue. Wonderful stuff.
  15. But would that have an impact on the texture of the cookie?
  16. Yum. I've never made them but I do like them. Will she part with her recipe?
  17. I love peanut butter but don't love peanut butter cookies. The trouble with all the ones I have had is that they are so sweet they make my teeth ache. If anyone has a recipe for peanut butter cookies that are not overly sweet and would like to share their recipe, I'd happily make them.

    V8

    I too am a Clamato fan, especially the spicy one. V8 not so much.
  19. I just made some muffins and took the picture below. I use it for any loose batter/dough (e.g. pancakes, yorkshire pudding) as it makes really short work of mixing. It works really well on wet bread doughs such as foccacia and no-knead dough.
  20. Yes indeed. I think every kitchen should have one.
  21. They're great, aren't they? My current one has a wooden handle also but the wood has split. I just ordered an all-metal one.
  22. If you don't have one, you need one of these. https://www.amazon.com/Jillmo-Danish-Dough-Whisk-Stainless/dp/B083532915/ref=sxin_7_ac_d_mf_rf?ac_md=5-2-U2lsdmVy-ac_d_rf&crid=9URWROJUQGUV&cv_ct_cx=danish+dough+whisk&dchild=1&keywords=danish+dough+whisk&pd_rd_i=B083532915&pd_rd_r=a3112516-069a-4263-a22b-91a860855d9c&pd_rd_w=OcUM5&pd_rd_wg=gX3bU&pf_rd_p=89fa575a-c44e-401e-be03-82c92ec5e029&pf_rd_r=XVBMZ184BM1P5P9WQFN5&psc=1&qid=1620231241&sprefix=Danish+%2Caps%2C203&sr=1-3-89f8c401-73d8-4caf-b340-e9b34f2a8bae
