I generally don't bother too much. I will put some oil on it and then put on the grill, leave them to geat through and through and then just start using them Oil smokes when it gets real hot so that's normal. Most important is probably to make sure your grid is properly hot before you put...

I bought a scraper some years ago when I decided I should learn how to bake sourdough bread. I use it occasionally. I tend to use my Thai cleavers much more often.

Oh no.. I would never do that. I just love a good mystery and a riddle :) I would be to stubborn to throw them out. Frankly, I would toss all of them together. Add water or milk and make it all into flatbreads. Leavened/unleavened/bit sweet/not sweet, who cares ;)

It does have flavour. Definitely very bitter if you use too much of it. Maybe try getting some fresh turmeric, or a fresh(er) part of dried and ground

Yes I have and I like them :) To my upbringing (in the Netherlands, they are just thin pancakes though. Crepe Suzette totally appeals to my inner pyromaniac

And in semantics.... For me, crepes are thinner than pancakes but use more or less the same mixture. Definitely no sugar https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pannenkoek

So you just eat what falls out first? :) :)

Just out of curiosity: What is in pancake mix? For me (European) it would be flour, milk, eggs and a little salt. No sugar

I agree. There is no issue at all. After all, you can also start a fire on the bottom grid without a starter to get your fire going. It's all designed to cope with the heat. Your grid may watp a bit, but that's not an issue (I use hardwood lump charcoal that burns very hot. No issues)

How fine is the stuff? Could maybe be maizena or rice flour if it is real fine and whiter than AP flour

Fishing & boating, brewing, gardening. Travelling. I don't do enough of that. Going to new places. Seeing new things. Eating & drinking local produce

I'll never do without a freezer! Couple of reasons - I live alone and I have never mastered cooking for one so there are always left overd - shops are far, I only really shop once every 3-4 weeks ,- I got a garden - I live in a hot climate I got a chest freezer and yes, stuff drops to the...

I have no idea! I don't think I have ever peeled that much potatoes in one sitting!

I got both :)

I do freeze a lot and eventually eat from the freezer as well ;) Shops are far away. I check prices, buy things on special, but the choice isn't great. One fairly big saver here is making your own lasagne sheets and fettucinni as they are crazy expensive here. Spaghetti and elbow maccaroni is...
