Disappointed in Cuisinart IceCream maker.. what did I do wrong?
Comments (9)Do you have a freezer thermometer? If not, you should get one to find out exactly what temperature your freezer is. It must get down to 0°F in order for the ice cream maker to work. As also said above, if the room temperature is too high, it will take longer. I've noticed that if people open the freezer too often, it causes the freezer temperature to rise, and so I'm very happy now that I have an ice dispenser in the door so that my freezer door is very seldom open now. If the door does get opened, it should be closed as quickly as possible - it is very bad to stand browsing with the freezer door open - I won't tolerate that. Also, when you are getting something out of the freezer, you should get it out as quickly as possible and close the door as quickly as possible in order to keep the temperature down. This is more critical on older freezers, but it will also save you energy on the newer ones. How old is your freezer? Are you able to measure the temperature?

Comments (13)Back in the day, when I could afford to waste long hours creating R.I. Lace, I would order British icing sugar (confectioner's sugar), because it claimed to be very fine, pure sugar. Later, I learned that it contained tricalcium phosphate, which turned out to be an anti-caking agent. I haven't tried King Arthur's glazing sugar. All I know about it is that it contains Maltrodextrin, which is derived from cornstarch. It may, or may not play a pivotal role in the clumping dept. Maybe our Dcarch, the science man, will enlighten us. However, I believe that airtight packaging may be the reason why their product stays lump-free. Sol...See MoreSugar - For Baking
Comments (7)I attended a class about preparing desserts and sweets (especially candy making) and there was a lot of discussion about sugar and these were some of the comments I wrote in my notes from the class. Common refined or "table sugar" is produced from sugar cane or sugar beets. There are people who swear by cane sugar ONLY and say sugar made from sugar beets is different (especially those who are candy makers), but the chemical composition of beet and cane sugars is identical. The two products taste, look, smell and react the same. BUT, to add to the intrigue... Pure sucrose is sold in granulated and powdered forms AND is available in several grades. FYI: "Because there are no government standards regulating grade labels, various manufacturers' product MAY differ slightly." Your mother just may be onto something..... I think where people may notice a difference in performance between different brands is in the size of the crystal more than whether it's cane or beet sugar, but that's just my opinion. -Grainlady...See MoreWhat brand of sugar do you like?
Comments (57)Also in the PNW, we have year round resident Anna's. We have one electric feeder that is heated by a 7W bulb. Rarely have to use it, it's a pain to take apart and clean somehow. What we typically do is 'we' set an alarm after bringing the feeders inside after dark, and DH gets up and puts them back out just before daylight. On those rare very cold days, its kind of a whirl of changing out feeders when they begin to look snow-coney...that at about 26F, not 32F. They don't tell me where they go for shelter at night, and I'd like to know. I can see them hunker inside a pieris near two of the feeders during the day when its storming, or very cold. I do admit to cheating with the nectar a bit in winter, the last few years 'our' birds have had a weak dose (just a little more than half strength) of Oasis VitaDrops for Hummingbirds. Vitamins. They slurp it up, must have no taste. It alleviates just a bit of my guilt at giving them nothing but sugar, intellectually I do understand they probably don't need the vitamins....See More
