Ruined new stockpot
Comments (44)OK, somewhere in the midst of this discussion I managed to scorch something in the bottom of a stainless-steel pot (NOT my fave big one, luckily, but the second-big one for single batches of salsa, etc.). I do this quite a lot (OK, so I'm a bit forgetful and sometimes trying to hurry food along), so this pot has been scrubbed in many ways before (sometimes with consultation here). Usually a soak with salt & baking soda, a simmer with some vinegar, and some elbow grease does the trick, sometimes taking 2 or 3 tries. Reading the fabric sheet trick intriged me, however, so tonight I put about 2-3 inches of water in the pot and put in a half a fabric sofetner sheet (BOUNCE unscented) and set it to boil while I talked to my brother on the phone and chopped cherry toms in half to dry. WELL, the chat was longer than I had planned and I forgot about the pot so when I went back into the kitchen an hour or so later the water had all boiled away. The burnt-on bits WERE gone, though there was still some black scorch staining on the bottom of the pan. The interesting thing was that the dryer sheet was ALSO gone! Yes, it evaporated! Or maybe those "black scorch staining" that I thought was left over from the previous burnt stuff are really from it. WHo knows? VERY weird. So now the question is... how do you get DRYER SHEET residue off of your pan??? ;-) Z, putting the pan into the dishwashwer and going to bed --- clearly not awake enough to preserve tonight; the toms will have to finish drying in the morning.......See MoreQuestions on blue mouse ears and mighty mouse
Comments (4)Thanks guys! I'm relieved to hear that BME grows faster than I thought and a bit dismayed that Mighty grows so slow. These two little guys were expensive and are so tiny. We are planning on moving from UT to Florida in two years and if these guys grow that slow I might just take them with me as I've really been wanting these two for a long time and I would hate to start from scratch. I plan on leaving them in the ground even though we do not have any squirrels in our yard. Only problem we have are racoons and they don't seem to bother our plants (just our ducks). Is there a particular reason why you would need to pot them up? I don't mind having it in the ground due to it's size as I can just plant some annuals around it. They are both planted in front of my hydrangeas and they tend to steal the show anyways....See MoreDid I just ruin my new cake pans?
Comments (5)Thanks all...I won't worry anymore. My initial concern was that those ridges would create havoc with getting cookies off that scored surface. I'll use parchment paper, but I'll need some guidance since I've never used it before. When I take the cookies out of the oven, do I take them off the parchment paper to cool, leaving the paper on the baking pan to reuse...or do I slide the paper and the cookies off the pan altogether? It's great to learn something new each day!...See MoreIs my bread ruined?
Comments (3)I'm assuming that you are baking in the machine? Truthfully, after that second rise I'd have just plopped it in a bread pan and stuck it in the oven to bake. I think it will be fine, thought, it will just go through the knead and bake cycle again and I've often gotten busy and had to knock the dough down for an additional rise before baking. I'd keep a close eye on it, though, to make sure it doesn't rise all over the top of the pan. Annie...See Moresvs128
