    Fridge Clean Out - Food Rescue

    Please share! A place to post your leftover-use-it-before-it-goes-bad creations. I admit I bought the bok choy today, but that always needs rescuing eventually because they are so big. And of course the herbs are to help. :ahem: Mushrooms Sweet potato Fennel Onion Bok choy Celery Micro...

    Smart Slow Cooker

    I'm looking at buying a smart slow cooker - does anyone have one? Pros and cons? When I am at work, I am typically gone 10-12 hours. My hope is to start something on low for 4 hours, set it to warm for a few hours and then back to low to finish cooking for when I get home. I don't *think*...

    It happened again...

    My oven did this with a pizza a while back and we thought maybe the pizza had partially thawed. But this is sourdough. This is on the convection setting. Has anyone else had this happen? I'm going to do some googling. Eat anything you want, but make it yourself. Posting from the app.

    Leftover Cheese?

    There can't be such a thing! While in WI, I impulse-bought 1.5 lb package of "veggie" Jack cheese. In my defense, I purchased the smallest package, and stimulated the local economy. It's okay, it's not bad. But for snacking I prefer something a little stronger. Thought I might try cheese...

    Epic Fail, Not servable...

    Why would a convection oven do this?

    Hi all - I made a frozen pizza (practically against my will but that is another story) and set my oven to convection. Look at how it cooked! I'd like to blame the pizza but I'd bet the cardboard cheese and wood dust crust is distributed evenly. Thoughts? I haven't had any other issues with my...

    To Tell or Not to Tell

    I just found out TONIGHT the party I am going to tomorrow is a much smaller group and not as food venturous. And I've prepared organic beef tongue. The birthday girl thinks I should just say it's beef and not share what part. "Don't say tongue." I feel like lying to someone about what I'm...

    Ebelskiver Cast Iron Skillet, help/tips?

    Help on Corn Tortillas - homemade

    I'm using Masa Harina and the recipe on the bag (white bag). When rolling, they either stick too much or fall apart. I am super frustrated. I made other breads so I understand needing to adjust flour/water. I've tried using parchment and wax paper and just on the counter. Using a rolling...

    I've been trying to get a cracker dough pizza crust this week. Have tried the following: Used bread flour, put at bottom of the oven, 500 degrees, open door every so often to keep the heating element on and I use a pizza stone. My last attempt got me extremely tough crust - but not cracker...
