[CnD] potato cutters - Re: air fryers
Will your potato chipper handle large potatos? All of the French Fry cutters that I have seen will only work with short and not-very-fat potatos. I would like to get long and thin fries, about the thickness of what you get at McDonald's. The ones that I have seen are also very difficult to work with as far as pressing the potato through the cutters. If anyone knows all of the info that I need to obtain a French Fry cutter that will suit my needs, I would appreciate it. Another option might be a French Fry cutter for my Hamilton Beach Big Mouth food processor. If anyone has one of these, I'd like to know your thoughts on this specific item. While we're on the subject of cutting potatos, does anyone have a good method for making home made potato chips? I like them thin and crispy, not like the thick Kettle chips, but thin, the way that Lays potato chips are made, or Pringles. Thanks.

Re: [CnD] African Chicken
Jenna, would you suggest using unsalted peanuts? If you used the cocktail
peanuts, wouldn't they add a lot of salt to your dish? This sounds really good
and I have been pondering making it; not sure my Norwegian-American husband
would go for it ... ("Does it have Velveeta in it? Cream of mushroom soup?")

Re: [CnD] potato cutters -
I know what you mean about it being too hard to use traditional potato cutter. Pampered chef has what is either called a garnishing tool or, more precisely, a crinkle cutter. With this, the handle stands straight up, vertically, which is more ergonomic for women, using your upper body strength more then if you are cutting horizontally with a knife. With this you would cut your potato in half lengthwise, and then each of those halves in half, and you keep on doing that so that eventually you end up with crinkle cut fries. > On Mar 6, 2016, at 8:04 AM, Charles Rivard via Cookinginthedark > wrote: > > Will your potato chipper handle large potatos?

Re: [CnD] pancakes
Hi, Kim, I've been making pancakes since Junior High; I learned at the School for the Blind in California. I made them on a griddle heated on a gas stove. My teacher taught me to feel the top of a pancake looking for breaking bubbles. When I felt bubbles of batter break, I flipped the pancake. Now I bake pancakes in a large electric skillet. I drop batter onto a hot buttered surface using a quarter-cup measuring cup. I don't really feel for breaking bubbles now, but I feel that the top surface is quite solid. Then I flip each pancake using a spatula. I cook the pancakes for less time after flipping. I estimate that I cook the pancakes for about three minutes on the first side and one minute on the flip side. I set the skillet for 320 egrees. I love making pancakes!

Re: [CnD] air fryers
Shannon, how does the timer work? I know you said it is raised, but is there a way to set it without vision? Forgive my ignorant question. I've never seen one of these fryers, and have been considering getting one, but didn't know about the timers on them.

Re: [CnD] BAKED APPLE DOUGHNUTS
When you enter on the "print" link for a recipe the recipe doesn't print; it just appears on the screen in a better, more readable format. I guess you could print it from that format, but I just read it. Lori P. S. There are also a few donut recipes using the pan in the most recent Joanne Fluke novel about Hanna Swenson, if you are familiar with that series. -Original Message- From: Jennifer Chambers via Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark@acbradio.org] Sent: Sunday, March 06, 2016 7:55 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Jennifer Chambers Subject: Re: [CnD] BAKED APPLE DOUGHNUTS I just went on the website, and I find it rather cumbersome to navigate.
