  1. Those of you who make candied lemon peel: Have you seen this? Hip Pressure Cooking
  2. Can anyone help me find an old thread about the very best chef spoon? Thjere's a site somewhere where one can order one or more of these 'perfect spoons'. I searched everywhere I could think of without success. Anyone?
  3. Most times I just use a square of wax paper to put my utensil on; then it can just be thrown away. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004NG8Y7I/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ps_3?pf_rd_p=1944687742&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B00BQWPWYK&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=02P4C4HF2WDWVPXGC431
  4. First: I'm not sure I understand why you call your d/w a Bosch. I have a Kenmore Elite and it's not related in any way to a Bosch, it's a completely different design. Second: Are you sure it was installed properly? Third: If it really is a Bosch, I understand that those do not have waste disposal built in and that there's a trap that must be cleaned out. Do you have your owner's manual?
  5. That kitchen would certainly not be my choice, it's much too cold and sterile. I like a more 'homey' feel where people would like to congregate. And I like some color, not just glaring white.
  6. Curiosity got me to try the McRib last year after reading about it here. Once was enough for me. It was wet and mushy and nasty! I threw it away after a couple bites.
  7. This morning I once again found a piece of bread insided the toaster oven that I intended to have with last night's dinner! Can't remeber how many times that's happened!
  8. I don't usually drink tea except for iced tea in summer but recently a friend brought me a vanilla chai latte from the local coffee wagon. It was SO good. Now I make my own with my Keurig and chai latte k-cups. I'm impressed. And sometimes I add a dram of rum to it and it's even better!!! Maybe not your idea of what real tea is.
  9. In case anyone is waiting for a better price, as of this morning Amazon's price has again dropped to #249.
  10. I can't imagine ATK without Kimball, In my mind, having followed him since the beginning, the guy is a genius. Listening to him on his ATK podcasts, my opinion in reinforced regularly.
  11. I like ratings with reviews.
  12. I'm glad you're going to get the sink that you really want, that's important. I'll be waiting to hear how you like it when it's in.
  13. I agree with rotuts on this one. Over the years I have had many different types of kitchen sink; from white cast iron to silgranite in both black and white to black cast iron. Now I have stainless again and I won't ever go back to the other kinds (I've not had copper). If I were replacing my sink again I'd go with the very best stainless available...they now have a new type that resists spotting and stays shiny, that's what I'd want. My sink is still nice but it takes a bit of work to make it look really nice, over time the finish has dulled from scratching and I can't bet the 'new' look back. Still, it beats any of the other sinks I had before.
  14. Routs, How, specifically, does the Cuisinart make better toast than the Breville. Is it that the radiant elements are closer to the bread?
  15. When you make toast with your CSO do you use the steam function?
  16. No, really! I saw this at my local liquor store and had to give it a try. I used some in my Clam Digger at cocktail hour. It's good, but a bit strong flavored. For me it works better when it's diluted with regular vodka, about 1/3 bacon flavored. http://www.bakonvodka.com/recipes
  17. My go-to cocktail has been a gin & tonic for a very long time. However, I was wanting something different for a change and it occurred to me that what I was looking for was a Clam Digger. Very good!
  18. Fry's? Geez, I thought they'd gone out of business long ago? Maybe just some of the stores? Also, I see that Amazon's price has gone back up to $290.
  19. Adventures are always so much more adventurous with a co-conspirator!
  20. blue dolphin, the pan in your picture....did that come with your oven? It looks fairly large, can you tell me the dimensions?
  21. I purchased a toaster oven size silicone liner to put in the drip tray of my Breville convection oven. I learned the hard way how difficult these trays are to clean. If I were to buy a CSO I would order one for it as well. So easy to clean!!!
  22. I'm seriously torn here, I want a CSO but I'm also wanting the new Apple iPad Pro model when it's released in November.
  23. Keeping in mind how dynamic Amazon's pricing can be, I see that right now the CSO is available for just $224,25!
  24. I haven't seen fresh compressed yeast anywhere in many, many (more than 30 years)! Where on earth do you find it?
  25. Recently when I needed a cup or so of chopped pecans I started thinking about shopping for a nut chopper. I ordered the top-rated model http://www.amazon.com/PL8-Nut-Chopper-1405/dp/B00JLIKD1I/ref=sr_1_3?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1444826162&sr=1-3&keywords=nut+chopper from Amazon. What a disappointment! It didn't even come close to evenly chop, it reduced most to a powder. Next time was in that situation I remembered the Slap Chop that I bought a few years ago. It did the best job of anything and much easier than using a knife.
