Addie, look for a Bosch Compact. I had to replace my Hobart era KA 6 or 8 years ago for the same reason - that KA was too heavy for me to schlep around anymore, and too big to leave sitting on the table. Once I had the Bosch in hand, I was shocked to discover what a bill of goods I'd been sold...

Forget the KA. They are badly overrated expensive heavy devices. Get a Bosch Compact. It'll knead more bread dough than I ever had any need for. If you need more than say 4 loaves of bread a day, there is also the full size Bosch, and if you REALLY want The Workhorse for the home kitchen, get...

I used my old Zo to make meatloaf for my dad during a period of time when I had frozen shoulder. Mixed, and cooked in the pan. I continued to use it to knead any dough at all, including quite stiff doughs such as for puri and chapatti, whether or not I was going to be baking said dough in the...

I gave up on electric juicers, they tend to bite into the pith and make the juice bitter. Instead I got a squeeze juicer with a huge handle (lotsa leverage for this below-average-sized gal). Perfect juice, every time. I got it from TheWebstaurantStore (dot com) Of course that won't be...

The "temp" settings on induction plates ARE NOT ACCURATE. Not even to within the 25F they usually promise. So if you've set the induction plate to 360F, it is unlikely to actually be heating the CONTENTS OF THE PAN to the temp you set. As opposed to the pan bottom, which is all it can sense -...

JUST TWO? Are you KIDDING? Keeping in mind that some of these no longer get much use because I am diabetic now (while others get MORE use): Bosch Compact Mixer, which replaced my Hobart-era KA mixer. That thing weighed like 40 lbs. The Bosch weighs less than 5, and does a BETTER job on...

@whoever it was who doesn't believe the woman was told by her vet to flush a hamster - I believe there are vets who would say such things. Things I have been told by vets: "There is nothing wrong with your dog's hip. She's just old." The dog had a plate in her hip that had become totally...

I had one DECADES ago and got rid of it because the "refills" are so freakin' expensive. I only used it for freezing stuff anyway. I'm good with ziplocs - cheaper than the refills, easier to use, and don't require an extra electric thingy to use. And if you want to remove as much air as...

Me too. And these things have definitely extended the period of time I will be able to live independently. I wouldn't be without these devices. Air Fryer Instant Pot Induction plate And - only because I can't lay hands on a viable rust-proof induction kettle that whistles - I got an...

You CANNOT "do the same thing in an oven". If you think you can, you're doin' it wrong.

First off, air fryers are NOT "small convection ovens". What they do, they do far far better than a convection oven. I have used my air fryer at least once a day (if not twice or even three times) since I got it last year. I do not use my oven at all, nor my range. In point of fact I got the...

Tofu can have a protective effect for kidneys. If you eat enough of it it can lower the amount of protein excreted with your urine. I would strongly suggest upping your tofu intake considerably. It really is delicious when properly prepared. Try the firm or super firm, freeze it IN THE...

Low carb options to replace bread - Aburaage - essentially the tofu version of Pita. I think it comes in cans sometimes. Tofu skin aka Yuba - preferable fresh or frozen, the dried ones take special handling to get them to "unfurl" so most people just toss them in soups and stews. Use it...

Just what is the point of the plantains? They're as high carb as potatoes. Or are you just going for "gluten free"?

*I've* never seen a lentil dish that calls for lemon juice. But Indian cuisine is very diverse so who knows. I have seen lentil dishes that call for cinnamon though.

Toor dal is the dal I use most often for the dish, "dal". It's split pigeon peas. There are also the following types of dals (also called gram): mung dal (split mung beans) Masoor dal (the little pinkish-reddish lentils you can find in any health food section) Rajma dal which is not a lentil...

Actually palak and saag are HINDI words. There is no "India language". There are over 70 different languages in India and more than 200 dialects. Not all of them are based on Sanskrit, either. I prefer the saag/palak paneer dishes that DO NOT puree the greens. Look for a dish called "Methi...

So to the folks whinging on about how pasta is SO non-Indian, pasta IS, in fact, regularly used in Indian cooking. They call it "vermicelli" or "semiya". It most often pops up in desert recipes, but is used in savory cooking as well. https://snapguide.com/guides/cook-indian-style-vermicelli/...

I feed them to my birds. Otherwise have never found a use for them. They're low carb but the main usage for them in people food seems to be (nasty) "smoothies" or (nasty) salad dressing, except when they are being used to "pump up" the protein in sugary floury deserts like brownies. The...

Leg cramps - milk always stopped this for me. I only got them when for some reason I wasn't drinking as much milk as normal (for me, which is about a quart to a quart and a half per day). Now that I can't have that much milk (because 12g carbs per cup, and I don't drink ONE CUP of milk at a...

Do you mean paneer? If so it should be possible but I just got my IP the day before yesterday so - no time to test it out yet. I've been making mine in the microwave for over 10 years.

Peanut or almond flour. Peanut flour can have a strong peanut flavor. You want the lower fat content versions (usually 12%) for a more neutral flavor. Byrd Mill has it and there is also always Amazon. Almond flour is way easier to find - they have both at my local Winco (aka Cub Foods) but...

I had some Korean style pork jerky I really liked that I got from Costco, but at $9 for 13 oz (ON SALE yet) I can't afford that much. Trader Joe's Ginger "uncrystallized" ginger. It takes me about 15 to 20 mins to nibble a piece to death. LOVE the hot flavor. Hard lemon candy. Lasts for...

Now THAT'S the kind of factory I wouldn't mind living near at all!:yum:
