LindaC: A question on Mason's 'Vista'
Comments (34)At one time I had a "catalog"....more like a few pages , of all the sizes and names and shapes of Mason's Vista. And I do believe the large platter I havew as the largest they had. The catalog I have? had is from the mid 1950's....maybe it's still in the bottom of a drawer somewhere> When we were first married, we had found a gift shop in Windsor Canada that had a large selection of Mason's pink vista. And we could order up to $10 worth duty free that would come in as unsolicited gift. And at that time a cup and saucer were $1.25 USD....and a dinner plate was $.90. I filled out my everyday use stuff that way. We were hard on sandwich plates and cereal bowls> Just looking at my picture from 13 years ago and my cupboard now....and think I have added 2 coupe soup plates> I have platters in several places....I will have to dig them out and measure and see just what I have...See MoreLinda C, you are a baaaaaad influence!

Comments (41)I just made a batch - they are addictive little things aren't they. And don't chew on the side with the loose filing!! I got three tubs of them - one goes next door tonight for dinner, the other for Christmas Eve with the kids, and one for me. I used margarine - only because I tend to actually follow a recipe the first time. I imagine butter would work as well, since that's what I usually (once before) make carmel with. I mixed it in a big pot and used two cookie sheets with thay non-stick aluminum foil. I took them out every 15 minutes and turned the Cheetos over with two spatulas. When they were done, I took one pan out and put half on one of my many "spare" cookie sheets and spread them out. I put the rest back in the oven. That way they didn't cool off too fast. Once one cookie sheet was done - I took the two sheets cooling out onto the porch - it's cold out today and broke apart any that were still sticking together. I did the same for the second sheet in the oven, it worked well. Now, every cookie sheet I own is dirty - but not to worry, my 36" single bowl farm sink holds them all lying flat. They'll be clean and dry in a jiffy. I knew I got that sink for some reason! Have a wonderful Christmas....See MoreCaramel Cheetos
Comments (27)Difficult to say from a distance but here are some thoughts. Did you boil the caramel for the full 5 minutes, that would influence the hardness of the finished product. Another thing I noticed- when I sprayed the pan that received the separated cheetos it created an oily surface on the finished product. That could create a sticky result if you used the same technique. I no longer spray a pan prior to separating and have had no oily problems. Other than those comments, assuming you didn't substitute ingredients, I'm not sure what would do it. Was the bowl warm or in a too warm spot? Michaelp...See More- 7 years ago
