Can I Use Coco-Husks inplace of Pine Bark in soil recipe?
Comments (35)Thanks Mike! I will go re-plant right now! If it seems to be staying too wet, then what would I need more of in the mix? Perilite? Or something else? I have mixed for days, so I think it is mixed ok. I did notice that the perilite was falling to the bottom before adding the bailed peat, but once I added that, it seems to be holding up much better. I may add some extra drain holes in the pot though just as an extra precaution. You know, I was so worried about them being over watered and wet, that I was not watering them everyday. Now I think they got dried out in the heat! UGG! So I am on this. bigmario, I am new to the soil mixes obviously, but the 2 best mixes seem to be the cocohusk recipe and the 5:1:1, which have both been shared on this thread. The pictures I have up are the 5:1:1 mix I made, but I did mess it up at first with the wrong peat. But the wrong peat for the 5:1:1 is actually the right peat for the cocohusks. I will be also making the cocohusk recipe, I just have not found one of the ingredients for it yet. But when I make it, I will post it here. OK! Off to transplant! Be back with pictures of the re-plant! Christy...See MoreRecipe Calls for Square Cake Pan - Can I Use Round?
Comments (3)The areas are very, very close. The 9-inch round pan has an area of 63.6 square inches, and the 8-inch square pan's area is 64 square inches. Can't get a better match. The time should be about the same; the round pan could take a little longer, but start testing at the same time you would for the 8-ich square. I usually use round pans instead of square ones, because the corners so easily get overdone on square cakes. And I just like round ones better....See MoreIf a recipe calls for XL eggs and I only have L
Comments (11)Modern USA Egg sizes: XL eggs weigh greater than 2.25 oz. so a dozen weigh 24 oz+ Lg eggs weigh greater than 2.00 oz. so a dozen weigh 27 oz+ So, 4 XL eggs = 9 oz. 9 divided by 2 equals 4.5 large eggs. I don't think it would make much difference in the recipe. If you had some applesauce you could add a bit, or just a little water, butter or milk if you like, or an extra yolk, or an extra white or half an egg would be more like the recipe intended, assuming it makes a difference....See MoreRECIPE: Can I substitute honey for molasses in a bread recipe
Comments (11)Substituting honey for molasses? Depends on how much is used in the bread. If it's a yeast or quick bread and the amount is less than 1/2 c., probably no problem using honey for molasses, but when using equal amounts, you'll find more sweetening from the same amount of honey as you would get from molasses. Be aware that foods brown quickly when using honey. To adjust for over-browning, reduction of temperature by 25° is sometimes advised (especially when the amount of honey is 1/2 cup or more), or you can cover your bread with a tent of foil for a period of time, to prevent over-browning or even burning before it's completely baked. Molasses (blackstrap) is 70% sucrose and is about one-half as sweet as sugar. While honey is fructose, glucose, and sucrose and can be 20% to 60% sweeter than white sugar, but with a composition very similar to table sugar. So if substituting large amounts of molasses with honey, you may need to reduce the amount of honey because it's much sweeter than molasses. You could also try using 1/2 molasses and 1/2 honey. Molasses does add some flvoring, as well as coloring. I'll add information about sorghum (aka sorghum syrup/sorghum molasses) for Jan "gourd friends". While molasses is made from sugar cane or sugar beets, sorghum comes from the sorghum plant and it's properties are very similar to those of black-strap molasses and are good substitutes one for another. Watch out for "blended" sorghum products. Many are cut with high-fructose corn syrup, which makes it sweeter than plain old sorghum. You can add to this syrupy mix, 100% pure cane syrup (like Steen's), treacle (another name for molasses), golden syrup, and maple syrup. All can usually be substitutes one for the other, but all have different flavors and will differ in sweetness. There are a number of substitions that can be made for molasses; for a cup of molasses the following may be used (with varying degrees of success): 1 cup honey, or ¾ cup firmly packed brown sugar, or 1 cup dark corn syrup, 1 cup granulated sugar with 1/4 cup water, or 1 cup pure maple syrup. -Grainlady...See Moregrainlady_ks
