Do you cook all food using convection? do you modify recipe times
Comments (10)I took a little course put on by the Wolf distributor here ... it was very informational. They didn't recommend using straight convection for anything that has much of a side on the pan, because the side blocks the air circulation, which is how the food is being cooked, so the top will cook faster than the inside. But it's fine to use convection with cookie sheets and broiler pans, or at least try to use the lowest side available. Also, don't cover food if you're using convection. They recommended convection bake for pies, not straight convection. And, if you are using straight convection, flavors will not transfer (eg, it's okay to bake a tray of bacon-wrapped scallops on one rack and cookies on another). They also said to turn down heat 25 degrees and reduce time 20 to 25 percent with convection, which matches what I've heard elsewhere. Here is the percentage of oven element used for each mode (this is for Wolf) Bake stone = 40% broil, 60% stone Bake = 10% broil, 90% bake (the hidden element on bottom) Convection bake = 90% fan, 10% bake Broil = 100% broil Convection broil = 100% broil, 100% fans Roast = 25% broil, 75% bake Convection roast = 25% broil, 75% fans Convection = 100% fans...See MoreTime To Test Recipes!

Comments (8)Caminnc, wow azaleas already in bloom! My daffodils and crocuses are peeking up from the ground but I think the cold days we've been having in the meantime have been keeping them in check. You're welcome for the recipe. If anyone wants a copy of the book I got it from, it came from the Dollar General and it's called Quick And Easy Family Baking-Cakes, Cookies, Pies & Breads That Anyone Can Bake. It's a brand new book (Copyright September 2011) and it has all sorts of hints and tips along with the recipes. In an earlier post of mine, someone mentioned they enjoyed my threads. I thank you and everyone else who's been helpful and kind to me here and the rest of GW. I just wanted to say cooking and gardening are two of the brightest spots in my life right now. I enjoy these hobbies with utmost happiness and I'm always glad to help out everyone in any way I can. I'll cherish them for as long as I can. A funny story about the cake mix and the pie filling. They're slightly larger than what the recipe calls for. The pie filling can is 21 ounces and the cake mix box is 18.25 ounces. A little more to go around LOL :).

Comments (12)I made Ina's Apple Crostata the other nite. It's our favourite apple pie, by far. I thought of taking a pic, after we'd already had our pieces. Apple Crostata (Ina Garten) Pastry: 1 cup all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons granulated or superfine sugar 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1/4 pound (1 stick) very cold unsalted butter, diced 2 tablespoons ice water For the filling: 1 1/2 pounds Macintosh, Macoun, or Empire apples (3 large) 1/4 teaspoon grated orange zest 1/4 cup flour 1/4 cup granulated or superfine sugar 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter, diced For the pastry, place the flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Pulse a few times to combine. Add the butter and pulse 12 to 15 times, or until the butter is the size of peas. With the motor running, add the ice water all at once through the feed tube. Keep hitting the pulse button to combine, but stop the machine just before the dough becomes a solid mass. Turn the dough onto a well-floured board and form into a disk. Wrap with plastic and refrigerate one for at least an hour. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Flour a rolling pin and roll the pastry into an 11-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Transfer it to a baking sheet. For the filling, peel, core, and cut the apples into eighths. Cut each wedge into 3 chunks. Toss the chunks with the orange zest. Cover the tart dough with the apple chunks leaving a 1 1/2-inch border. Combine the flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and allspice in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture is crumbly. Pour into a bowl and rub it with your fingers until it starts holding together. Sprinkle evenly on the apples. Gently fold the border over the apples to enclose the dough, pleating it to make a circle. Bake the crostata for 20 to 25 minutes, until the crust is golden and the appl...See MoreRECIPE: Cooking with Fall Vegetables, Cooking class recipes...
Comments (7)Mmmmm, Carol, I LOVE rutabagas, now I need to get some. I didnt' plant any this year, I canned a bunch last year in spite of the "warning" that they could get strong. They are a bit strong but sure not enough to make me not want to eat them. Caramelized onions and honey with them? Oh yum.... Annie...See MoreJennifer_in_KS
