That would work, or wrapping the leaves/spices in cheesecloth, knotting it closed, and dangling the part with overhang over the saucepan and holding it in place with the lid! -Original Message- From: cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org [mailto:cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org] On Be

If it helps at all...I've lived in a lot of apartments, and I've always taken small slivers of sticky tape from a dimo-tape labeler and put them on the different settings...I have to remember which setting they are on, but I always just use heavy load...That way everything gets clean...It may not

That's the one with the like thumb screw you adjust and the slicer has a wire string to it which does the slicing, right? Then we are talking about the same slicer! -Original Message- From: cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org [mailto:cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org] On Behalf Of Ch

I have difficulty using those knives with guides; for me, that guide gets in the way, and my slices are not even in the least! With using the ruler, then, say, if you want one half an inch thickness, do you find the one half inch mark, and stand it up to see how thick or high that is, and then appl

After awhile, the wire in the cheese slicer stretches! Or eventually breaks with heavy use! It works best for softer types of cheese, and stresses the string when you attempt slicing harder types of cheese. I did not know about leaving that egg slicer shut and gathering up the little slices. It als

I have one I got many years ago from one of the cider mills around this area. It divides the apple into sections and you put the apple on the counter and put this metal thing on top of the apple and try to make sure it is straight and push straight down. The apple comes apart in sections and

I think I have one of those; it slices it into eighths; yes, it is not always the easiest task to center it before pressing; what I am after is just a plain corer for tomatoes and apples; no slicing, just to remove the core! I also cannot bite into an apple with my dentures, and like them sliced. S

When I think of the braille cookbooks, I think of the Our Special cookbooks, Cooking without Looking, When the Cook Can't Look, Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook, and I think as a teen, a lady gave me one with a hard bound cover on it and I think it was called The Braille Cookbook; I no longer have

I agree that hands play an important role for us. The main thing is exercising good personal hygiene, handwashing! Some sighted people are squeamish when they see us use our hands; my son, Brian was that way! He'd say some thing like, "yuck! Don't do! That! My older son would say, "so what?! Her! H

I was given a copy of the Braille Cookbook. It is a one volume hard cover book that had labels in the back but of course there were no labels there when I got the book. It is copyright 1948 and is fun to look through. I also got two volumes of a book called Evelyn Lee's New Cookbook or someth
