Debugging Memory Dump from BSOD
Comments (4)The problem is a corrupted area of the hard drive. The remedy is to run chkdsk /r If you can't run it within Windows, try Safe Mode. If that doesn't work, run it from the Recovery Console. Any more BSOD's while doing the above and you need to save as much as possible and do a clean install....See MoreCake recipe for lamb & other cake molds?
Comments (5)Pound cake does seem to be the go to recipe for molds for a lot of people. Much less failure rate as far as holding up, plus you can find a nice flavorful pound cake pretty easily. I don't have my recipes right here, but I did a search and there was a thread on the recipe forum from 2008 where Ann T and Ginger, and other forum members, posted favorite pound cake recipes. Here is a link that might be useful: Pound cakes...See Morerecipe failure - try again or toss
Comments (13)How does the size of the mini-cheesecake pan compare to the size of a standard cupcake pan? If they're larger, you need to adjust the cooking time and temp appropriately. Usually, you would lower the oven temp, and cook longer. Always keep in mind, with ANY recipe the temp and time given are just estimates. You still need to know how to adapt the recipe to your own conditions--different ovens cook differently, altitude, humidity, different brands of ingredients can all affect the results of pretty much any recipe, so you need to be able to make the necessary changes as you go. To be honest, I find most recipes tend to underestimate the cooking time--no matter what oven I use, I almost always have to add a few more minutes than called for, for the item to be properly cooked. I'd strongly recommend, if the cheesecakes really weren't done in the center, that you NOT EAT THEM, and definitely not serve to anyone who is very young, very old or who may have a compromised immune system. Raw/undercooked eggs run the risk of having salmonella, and freezing the mixture is NOT going to kill the bacteria--just puts them in suspended animation (freezing is how labs preserve bacteria for future use). Don't take any chances with your family's health....See MoreDump cake - dump dinners!?!
Comments (37)I realize this is an old thread, and at the risk of ruining my (new) reputation, I can't resist telling the word, under my assumed name, that in a moment of weakness and nostalgia and totally out of character, I did indeed order the dump cake book "which included a "free" dump dinner book, and a "free" ceramic frying pan. Laugh all you want . The truth of the matter is that the book is really kinda fun. My daughter used to make a couple of the dump cakes when she was first married in the early 80's, so I'm going to surprise her & her husband this coming Sat nite when they come for a leg of lamb dinner & serve a dump cake for dessert! What's that rumbling??? Oh, I know, it is several of you shuddering. Most of the time, our families "eat healthy", (including my 100 year old father!) but Saturday night we will sink into decadence, The cherries actually sound good after the lamb, peas, etc and I know they will get a kick out of it. You know, the book had several tempting versions of the dump cake, and over the years I will probably enjoy using some of them. The dump dinner cookbook was actually just a 39 page paperback, and haven't perused it yet, but would think the advantage of a dump dinner as opposed to a crockpot dinner is going to be not having to plan as far ahead. Sorry this is so late & so long; I just couldn't resist since no one (but me :) ) seems to have actually ordered it! I probably would not do it again, as the scottish side of me is horrified that I spent $27 on a whim, for a questionable cookbook, with "free stuff" which of course you are pretty much paying for in the 7.99 shipping, and probably inflated price of the cookbook. I hope they can stop laughing long enough Sat nite to eat & enjoy the decadent, quirky expensive cake....See MoreVirginia7074
