Hi Wendy
The Quest is a hand held scanner that scans bar codes.
I use it for everything that has a bar code on it, whether it be cans, boxes, 
packages etc...
I also have stickers to create and make my own tags. They are disposable but 
work ok for me.
I take this little handy bar code scanner with me when I have to gogrocery 
shopping and I tag groceries I even take it to do regular shopping.
Clothes, jewlery etc... what ever has a bar code scan, it will read it.
If it 's not read to me, it will find it automatically for me using my wifi 
service when and if available.

DOUBLE CRUST PITA PIZZA

2 pitas, any size you choose but both should be the same size, or if not, use 
the larger pita on the bottom.
Olive oil
Cheese or cheeses of choice
Pizza sauce of choice or use any pasta sauce you like, or spaghetti sauce
Any toppings of choice

Choose a pan to cook the pizza in or on. These may range from a cookie sheet 
with an edge to a pizza pan, pie tin, or whatever works with your pitas. Those 
all come in different sizes.
Generously oil your pan, then let the larger pita rest on the oily surface of 
the pan. Flip the pita making sure there is enough oil to coat the second side, 
but not as generously as the first side. Flip it one more time so the less oily 
side is on top.
Put cheese slices on the pita for the second layer. Make certain to cover all 
the pita well to within 1/8 inch of the border.
Layer 3 is the second pita. Press it down firmly against the cheese so it all 
sticks together when the cheese melts.
Layer 4 is the sauce. I put it on with an ice cream scoop and used 3 full 
scoops to cover the crust.
Layer 5 was a sausage patty that was cooked in the microwave and then broken up 
to a crumble. Best to use 2 breakfast patties here.
Layer 6 was onions cooked in the same way, I used half an onion and it was a 
Vidalia.
Layer 7 was black olives, I used 10 that I cut up into 3 slices each.
Layer 8 was a thin layer of grated cheese, about the same amount in layer 2 
where I used the slices.
Layer 9 was pepperoni, and I was generous with that. If you like it slightly 
well done like I do, put it on top. If you like it less done then put it under 
your last cheese layer.
Cook in a toaster oven at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. I put it in the cold oven 
rather than preheating, and it worked fine.
I had to let this cool a bit before cutting. It turned out great. There will be 
many more of these in my future!

the left or our zero is the "add 30 seconds button," which beeps if you

Subject: [CnD] microwave exciting discovery

Some of you have been wondering about finding accessible microwaves that are
not too expensive.

Since my unit is on a slow boat to failing, I wanted to replace it before it
took its final plunge into inoperable boat anchor. I found the updated model
of the one I love. I bought it online from Sam’s club. I am sure you can
find it in other places, but here are the details.

Totally accessible with buttons you can feel, shaped like bars, and they
push in. No need to mark any of them. Just make a cheat sheet for yourself
listing what each button does. You will soon have it memorized.

Set up the unit, and you are good to go. It comes with a thick instruction
booklet, over 150 pages. There must be some recipes there too I would think.

I paid $169 including shipping. It is the largest size of microwave ovens
you generally can buy.

Details:

Panasonic

Inverter model number NN-SN975S

The manufacture date on mine is March 2020. You don’t need its serial
number.

  


The buttons:

There are 23 of them. Seven rows of 3 and two at the bottom.

The two on the bottom are: on the left,  stop, or reset if you push it
twice; and start on the right.

The other 21, starting at the top:

Popcorn, push once for 3.5 ounces, twice for 3.0 ounces, and 3 times for
1.75 ounces.

2. Sensor reheat; this sets itself. 3. Sensor cook; There are 14 settings
for this button and I’ll list them at the bottom of the list.

Second row: Power level: there are 10 of these starting at full power and
going down in 10-degree segments to 10 percent at the lowest.

Defrost, and there are different levels here too which I forgot to copy, but
you push defrost, then a number button, then start to make it work. Not
hard, but you’ll have to copy from the book if you want details. And 3. Keep
warm.

Now there is a physical space between rows.

Here come the numbers:

1, 2, 3,

4, 5, 6,

7, 8, 9,

Cook Timer; 0; clock set.

Now you are down to the stop, start row I began with.

The 14 presets on the top right button:

Oatmeal: Works perfect.

Sausage: Works but you have to repeat it several times depending on what
sort of breakfast sausage you are cooking.

3. Omelet: Perfect once you try it a few times and know how it behaves with
your own omelet maker.

4. quinoa

5. soup

6. frozen entrée

7. frozen pizza singles

8. potatoes (prick the skins)

9. Fresh vegetables

10 frozen vegetables

11. rice

12. frozen dinners

13. pasta

14. fish fillets

I’ll try some of these settings and let you know what I think of them. If
they are anything like the first 3, I’ll be both surprised and happy.

I hope this helps some of you who have been searching. Don’t be afraid of
the programs. They are easy to learn and logical. The button settings change
nicely so you don’t have to push your multiples like you are running a race.
They won’t time out in the few seconds it takes you to push them and count
properly. If you push them too fast you might override what you are trying
to accomplish, but I wouldn’t know. I don’t push too fast myself.

We bought a Panasonic from Amazon a couple years ago which has about the 
same button layout, and I believe it is 1300 watts, and is quite large, 
but has the small round buttons for numbers and the rectangular buttons, 
and the two larger rectangular bars at the bottom. My only wrestle with 
it is that large table, getting int exactly right can be a struggle. I 
did figure out a system for it however, which constantly works however, 
but it took some effort because that is indeed a large glass table. :)

[CnD] MicroWave oven recommendations.

2017-08-19 Thread Curtis Delzer via Cookinginthedark
Ok, first, I know about the talking one, use to own the "TEMO," which
had been sold by many stores for as little as $79, but, ours, is going
out, starting to smell electronically, so I need recommendations for
ones which are blind friendly. I don't need something miniature, :) but
good sized, but user friendly for us to use by your definition, or,
easily modified to use, or maybe even with some kind of braille overlay
either makeable or constructible. :) I presume that most of the later
ones have menus of some type which aren't easily feasible without sight,
so, recommendations are requested!
We have an LG 1200 watt now which we made a braille overlay for.

What is the best way you keep time? Do you use a talking timer? I

 Hey there.

 Even though many of us can assist in technique we can't assist 
to much in terms of gaining confidence.  My suggestion, take a 
course through centres like the National Federation of the Blind 
(NFB), not sure if the American Council of the Blind (ACB) has a 
similar program.  It's one thing to give technique, but confidence 
is another. Just a suggestion. Deborah is right though, you can 
tell when a pot is boiling by the steam coming out of the top. 
Also, there are products available that will whistle and indicate 
when the pot is boiling. For more products check out

Try a meat mallot like this one.

http://www.amazon.com/OXO-Good-Grips-Pounder-Tenderizer/dp/BDAQ7I

Before cooking the meat, put it on a cutting board and cover it with
either plastic wrap or wax paper. Now pound the heck out of it with
the meat tenderizer. The pounding helps to breakdown the fibers and
makes the meat more tender. You can do this with any meat though I
mostly use mine for chicken.

I am not especially recommending this particular meat mallot, so shop
around and find one you like.

I hope that helps.

anything you, and the employers insurance are comfortable with. I 
worked with Orange Julius for 3 weeks once, making the Juliuses, 
until their insurance figured I'd get hurt by "something," like,

was in the late sixties so I couldn't kick much about it, but

As a programmer, I started programming before I even knew my 
limitations. I didn't know what the blind can and cannot do when it 
comes to programming, and I frankly didn't care: programming was fun 
and I did it, and that was all that mattered.


However, when it comes to food-related stuff, for most stuff, you 
need to get training, and you need to know what you can do better 
than others, and what you're not so good at, and what you definitely 
cannot do, so that you can do what is called "targeted learning", 
where you slim down what you're going to learn to what you will 
absolutely need, and go for them.


My spouse who is completely blind likes to one day own a restaurant. 
Even if she doesn't achieve this goal, she enjoys reading about 
food, learning how to cook, and so on. I've read that there are 
blind restaurant owners and chefs and so on, and this email is for 
those people.


Since you guys are much more experienced at this than I am, can you 
help her decide what to learn? What positions in a restaurant are 
blind-friendly, to coin a term?


Best,

I smoked a couple turkey halves in North Dakota where the outside

get the inner smoker temperature above 80 degrees long enough to 
permeate the bird.

Took about 12 hours or so, worked great!

a metal insulated pot. This means that coffee stays hot for several
hours and doesn't get burnt because it is constantly being heated. If
you are purchasing a machine use a cone rather than basket filter. The
reason for th is that when using a basket, the water sits in the oil
created by the grounds.
This is probably more than you wanted though.

2 eggs, 13 minutes, and make sure the water it boiling b4 you put the 
Omelette-in-the-bag into it.
After you've cracked your eggs into a bowl and mixed them around 
some, pour them into the bag, add cheese pieces, bits of meat, 
potatoes, whatever you want, within reason. Then close the bag, make 
sure as much of the air is out of it as possible, seal it good, and 
then I like to pinch it a lot with my fingers blending all the stuff 
so it mixes and cooks without too many lumps.
And, I like to make sure the water is high enough to completely cover 
what is in the bag. Also, make sure the top of the bag is in a place 
where you can reach it without too much "burning of the fingers," or 
use tongs to grab them when they're done. The zip-lock quart size 
work great, and we've gotten perfect Omelettes every time.

Hello everyone I hope all is well.
I want to know how do you make an omelette in a bag? What stuff can 
you put in it. And how long would you boil it? Thanks

Re: [CnD] thinking of Helen

and I, too, been through the loss of 6 guides,
not all by death, but surely know exactly how it
is, and some of those I couldn't say good-bye
too, and it is one of those experiences I wouldn't wish on anyone.

Re: [CnD] Pressure cooker problems

make sure all the seals are clean!

Sent from my iPhoneWe are having some problems with our pressure 
cooker. It is releasing pressure before it is supposed to. It makes 
the sound that it seals and a few minutes later befor it is time it 
releases pressure. At first we didn't think there was enough water 
in it. We did a test with just liquid and it did the same. We have 
not had it that long. We don't know if it might be the valve or 
ring. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you.
