Re: [CnD] Measuring liquids

You can get syringes off Amazon. That is where I get mine. I most commonly use 1 ml, 5 ml, 10 ml, and 30 ml syringes. I have been lucky and the ones I get are at least pre-marked at the half way point. I have also got some with blunt plastic needles so you can reach further down in to a bottle.

Re: [CnD] Help with Measuring small amounts of liquid

Syringes work good for this. They come in different sizes. Michael -Original Message- From: Cookinginthedark On Behalf Of Roberta Cook via Cookinginthedark Sent: Monday, July 13, 2020 12:15 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Roberta Cook Subject: Re: [CnD] Help with Measuring

Re: [CnD] Gas or electric stoves which is better?

I haven't seen a gas stove in the past 20 years that has a pilot light. Even those that do, there is a thermal coupler that holds the gas valve open when it senses heat from the pilot light. When the pilot light goes out, the gas valve turns off. With no pilot light, you won't have gas, and you

Re: [CnD] White Frosting

Have you ever made this frosting recipe? I am curious as to the consistency of it. 10 table spoons of milk seems like an awful lot. The most I have ever added is 4 tablespoons. And actually in the 4 pounds of frosting I made last week, I didn't need any milk, the butter seemed softer than

Re: [CnD] Stand Mixers

Thanks all, Kitchen Aid it is. Probably the 6 quart 600 series. I looked at the 6500 series, but it is twice the price, and although it is suppose to be much quieter, and a little more powerful, not sure it is worth the extra cost. The 6500 also comes with a glass bowl that is about 7 pounds,

[CnD] Stand Mixers

Looking for opinions on stand mixers. Are the Kitchen Aid ones really worth the premium price? What size do you have, and would you rather you made a different choice? Family of six so we do a lot of double batches. Thanks, Michael ___

Re: [CnD] Cooking bacon

Another vote for the oven method. I use wide aluminum foil in a baking sheet, and cook the bacon on a non-stick cooling rack in the baking sheet. Bake at 400 for 25 minutes to start with. I always use thick sliced bacon. Clean up is a snap, fold the aluminum foil to the middle on all four

[CnD] Another Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

Here is the recipe I use. My daughter used it and got a purple ribbon, which is the best, at our fair for 4H. Cookie is thin, crispy on the edges, and soft and chewy in the middle. In the recipe I use butter flavored Crisco because my son has a sensitivity to dairy products. I have used real

[CnD] Keurig

My wife is attempting to talk me in to buying a Keurig, but it seems they use touch screens. Are there any accessible Keurig machines? Michael ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org

Re: [CnD] Lasagna

Good recipes, but here is a real simple one. This is what we use most of the time. This is for a 9x9x2 casserole dish. Might not be the fanciest, or the most flavorful, but it works for our family. 1 pound browned ground meet, 1 jar 24 oz Prego spaghetti sauce, we use meet flavored 6 lasagna

[CnD] baking cocoa

Looking for recommendations on baking cocoa. I usually use the Hershey's stuff, but most of my recipes made with it just don't seem right for some reason. Most interested in baking cocoa for home made brownies. My brownies with Hershey's never turn out right, as far as flavor goes. Not sure if

[CnD] chocolate pudding?

Hi, A while back there was a recipe for chocolate pudding. Could that person please repost it. I thought I had saved it, and apparently I didn't. Thanks, Michael ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org

Unless you are using the non-stick variety, it does not matter which way it is used. Michael -Original Message- From: Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org] On Behalf Of Janet Acheson via Cookinginthedark Sent: Monday, February 02, 2015 2:15 PM To:

[CnD] Oven roasted chicken

I struggled with getting a nice moist whole chicken, until I started cooking them this way. This has worked for me on the past half dozen birds I have done, and I hope someone else finds it helpful. thaw completely rinse outside and inside, removing any innards that might be in the bird and pat

Re: [CnD] Homemade gravy: the kind grandma made

What I do is take about 4 cups of the juices off and cool it. Melt 1/4 cup butter in a sauce pan and add 1/4 cup flour. Over medium heat or so. Wisk, whisk, whisk, whisk, etc until the mixture no longer tastes like flour, and it has darkened. Add the cooled juices in and keep whisking until it

Re: [CnD] Some cookie recipe tips

The corn starch helps reduce the percentage of gluten in the flour, you can use cake flour for pretty much the same effect. Make sure the cookie sheets are cool as well. This is more important if you need to use the same cookie sheet multiple times for a batch of cookies. I run it under cold
