    The ones I saw were $9.99 for a 15.5 ounce jar.  I only noticed them because of the discussion here. 

    You know, I think I need to go look at the jar again, maybe it was only 15.5 oz.  I assumed it was the 24 oz. size because I thought there were only that size and the 32 oz..

    Although it's not important, I just thought I should clarify.

    i just looked, it IS the 24 oz. size.

     I have been proofing bread on the counter since Methuselah was the top so if the steam function doesn't work for proofing it's not a big deal.  Still the function's there  so I have to assume it works somewhere for some people under some conditions.   Anyone have any success? 

     

    I only tried it once and had no success.  I did it only out of curiosity because I already have a Bread Proofer

    and it works perfectly.

    Toast alone will make you throw out everything else in your kitchen to make room for your new CSO. 

     

    I agreed with this until my crumb tray became scorched and mottled in places.

    I did as someone suggested here and covered it with foil.

    However, my toast is still rather uneven on the bottom.

    I'm thinking of trying to get a new crumb tray from them.

    Has no one else had a problem with a blemished crumb tray?  Surely I can't be the only one.

    But let me clarify, the toast is the CSO is still WAY better than it was in my BSO where it always tasted as if it were baked.

    Well I resisted with every fibre of my being but apparently I was sending out some sort of sigbal that I was only kidding about no space for a CSO.  Today one showed up at my house and is now sitting in its box on my dining room table while I stare at my kitchen in dismay and wonder where in the hell I'm going to put it. Ingratitude is not my style  so some how, some way I am going to have to find a place for it to live and thrive. Let the games begin.  I know a few members who will be more than happy to welcome me to the Darkside.   You know who you are

     

    @rotuts and @Shelby among others. 

    Anna, I don't know what your kitchen looks like but I ended up putting mine in a corner (with cabinets above) and I pull it forward when I use the steam function (only occasionally).

    It's the same site I used for my BSO that is now residing on a shelf in the garage.

  5. Is there a source for these?

    I have purchased some chicken empanadas in the past and I'm wondering if there are any in the grocery stores, maybe frozen?

    I use a bread machine to mix and knead it on the dough cycle, remove it and pop it into a plastic bag and put it in the fridge for at least 24 hours, often longer - 2 to 3 days.  It is as close to foolproof as any "artisan" bread.

    For a more complete list of possible additives and how they affect the dough,  there is this page on the Cookistry website.

    Thanks for this, I want to try this just as you've described.

  7. I keep my brown sugar(s) in a plastic Lock n Lock container which doesn't seem to be air right.

    seems like every time I open it (which isn't often) my sugar has dried out quite a bit.  Then I re-soak my sugar bear and seal it in again.  But I'm really glad to read about the plastic bag/water trick because its only a matter of time until I'll need it.

  8. The small town next to me has a McD's and I sometimes stop there after my hair appointments.

    I always order the chicken sandwich (with lettuce, tomato, onion and mayo) and a small bag o' fries.

    It's actually very good.
