Hi Charis and All, I got an iGrill mini for Christmas and still haven't used it yet! I even put the App on my iPhone, but I'm not sure how to set up the App, or if there's anything special I have to do. If you can give me any pointers, I would be most grateful! Thanks so much in advance!

You can use it any way you would use regular storebought butter! It is butter after all. It's just that it's grass-fed instead of coming from factory farmed cows! It is more expensive than regular butter that comes in a 4-cube 1 pound box, but in my opinion, the incredible taste and

We use Kerry Gold Irish Butter exclusively now! We buy ours at Costco. There are 3 half-pound cubes in a box. Not only is it delicious, but I like the fact that it's grass fed! Healthy fats are extremely good for us! Much much better than Margarine! Desi - Original Message -

Hi Wendy, I do this all the time! It should take about twelve and a half minutes at 350. When you pull them out of the oven, let them stand for about 20 minutes before you remove them from the roasting pan. You can add about a half a tablespoon of olive oil and a half a tablespoon of salt

Hi Everyone, I would like to try making my own Mayonnaise, but am a little afraid because every recipe I read says that it's necessary to drizzle the oil through the hole in the lid of the blender while the blender is running, and to do so just until the mixture has thickened. Since I can't

Re: [CnD] trick to pouring liquids

Hello Gary, When I measure oil, I do it over an empty bowl so that if the oil runs over my measuring cup or spoon, the excess will run into the bowl. Then, if I managed to spill too much oil in the bowl, I use a funnel to pour the excess oil back into the bottle. If I don't spill very much,
