In online recipes for pie crust, vodka is added. Google says it adds liquid in a form that does not develop gluten. Can any alcohol be used? I think it's only about a tablespoon. I have a number of bottles of burbon left over from a friend's ex- although I don't like the flavour of burbon. I do have brandy though. Or should I just buy a small bottle of vodka?

My mother's favourite snack (with a crisp apple).

I love that traffic light!

Hello @OliviaCollin, welcome to eGullet!

Hello David. Probably you'll have a good time here. Some of us are crazy, but mostly in a good way. For fun, check out this important thread. Ha ha! Welcome.

This is from Oxo, might hold two silicone pans. OXO Good Grips Pressure Cooker Bakeware Sling, Red: Kitchen & Dining Edited to add that it can hold 2 stacks of small ceramic pots for custard just fine.

TropicalSenior, when you freeze this ginger, is it submersed in liquid? Also, how big is "bite-sized" ?

Yes, please. A recipe for stem ginger would be great.

I'd never had poutine, but we had some duck poutine at Au Pied de Cochon in Montréal. Definitely to die for. Many years ago now, but very fond memory.

Ooh. Might you have a recipe for that? 🙂

Darienne, are you interested in Deborah Madison's Silky Braised Chard and Cilantro? This is a most superior dish. It's started with no added water. Her standard recipe uses 1/3 cup white rice, but I use 1/2 cup and then no additional starch needed for dinner. PM me if interested.

I grew up eating bread and butter with watercress sandwiches. Tasty. Edfited to add that it's possible the original British version had Marmite on it, but we kids would never eat that!

I'm like @lindag, only mine is tea. And a good book. Lasts about an hour. Unless I started the bread machine the night before, so the baking bread will disturb my consiousness somewhat earlier. 😄

I spent ~$72. and shipping was zero.

In that Trio, one (only) is salted Virginia peanuts.

The app is able to make the machine do a second rinse after descale cycle. And it makes toast. That's it for me. 😎

Hubbs VA peanuts were outstanding! I'm trying to figure out whether I can afford to eat them exclusively. 🤣

Thank you, @BonVivant. I enjoy your posts very much.

How do you clean the standard wire racks in the Anova? Mine are all covered in junk and, prepatory to dehydrating some herbs, I sought to clean them. The after-market wire racks recommended by @palo and the silpats recommended by @JoNorvelleWalker all fit in a standard sheet pan. Some very hot water and detergent gets these soaking, then a quick pass with a wire scrubber gets them clean. Any idea where to get a pan that's big enough to contain the standard Anova wire racks? 13" x 18" x 1 3/4" would do it. What do you do to clean off all the baked on stuff? TIA.

Good wishes to you!

Looks delicious, @Kerry Beal. How did you make the block?

Sorry about my lateness. Leminiscate, please tell me what PBR is.

"RT" @Duvel ?? Edit: Oh, room temperature. Ya?

Actually, I think you've mentioned this before. 😎
