Is a wok close enough to a frying pan? If so I can recommend WANGYUANJI: (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) I've used mine three times and so far it hasn't needed cleaning. The pan is very light.

In my kitchen I've had three. The first did not last long. (Falling off the wall may have had to do with it.) The other two have been working reliably for about a year so far.

I have a couple of automatic hand soap dispensers that work well, but can you actually use Dawn in yours? Dawn is so viscous that it would not work in my dispensers.

Absurdly, stupidly basic pastry & baking questions
JoNorvelleWalker replied to a topic in Pastry & Baking
Thanks for the suggestions. Not to leave the outcome hanging, I killed off the batter making pancakes. Soothed my pancake itch for some while I fear. One of the Amazon products I'm evaluating is a Caraway square griddle pan. No need to wash after making pancakes. I just wipe it with a paper towel. (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) Caraway is the most nonstick griddle I have ever used. -

Not yet, but I did have more pancakes. -
Help! I've lost my cooking mojo and I want it back!

I have been off eating and cookery for a couple years, but I still buy cookbooks. -

Help! Is there a way to repurpose yeast raised pancake batter? I made the following recipe: https://redstaryeast.com/recipes/yeast-pancakes/ The pancakes were good, but now I have a large bowl of batter attempting to break out of the blast chiller and strangle me in my sleep. Thoughts? -
Dare you say what project?

Capacity is about six nutmegs. The shavings are about as fine as one would expect nutmeg to be. For spice grinding I mostly use a mortar or for grinding in quantity I employ my Waring: https://forums.egullet.org/topic/150545-wet-spicecurry-paste-grinders/?do=findComment&comment=2082442 I seldom bring out my melanger but to grind something incredibly fine, a melanger is the way to go.

I have one. I use it for nutmeg. Works well. Minor problem is you can't lift it by the top.

Batch 39: 90g blanched Spanish almonds 90g apricot kernels 350g water 280g sugar 60ml Neisson Esprit 70% ABV as a preservative My method was a slight simplification for this batch. Rather than heating in an hotel pan while stirring, I heated the orgeat in a 1000ml beaker on a new stirring hotplate. Then I homogenized directly in the reagent jar I use for storage.

It's that time of year again... Supermarketitaly.com is having a 10% off sale today and I ordered Filippi Panettone Special Granfrutta. This is the same brand I enjoyed so much last year but a different variation with orange, lemon, apricots, and sour cherries.

I like bluefish. It reminds me of shad, which most years I can never get. For cooking I grill bluefish. Plenty of oil in the fish. Bluefish may be cheap because it's caught locally.

Your Daily Sweets: What Are You Making and Baking? (2017 – )

The cocoa is Dutch process, I did not find it bitter at all. Plus the cocoa gently cut the sweetness of the cake.
