Where do you buy Miele DW Salts & what detergent do you use?
Comments (14)The tabs really do a great job (there are some older threads with loads of posts singing their praises!). We used Cascade Complete initially, but Miele came out with the tabs sometime around when we first started using our DW. A bunch of GW'ers tried them and kept raving about them so we decided to give them a try. The CC worked perfectly fine and everything came out spotless. However, the tabs seem to give the loads an extra level of clean and sparkle. Also, the air in the DW just had a fresher quality (odor) after running a load with the tab vs CC. The DW after a CC cleaned load isn't bad, just less fresh smelling. FWIW, some on this forum use 1/2 a tab (and possibly even 1/4 tab?) to clean most loads. Again, my stuff comes out fine with a 1/2 tab, but a full tab just seems to raise that sparkle and clean to another level. It's not overly noticeable, in fact, I thought it was my mind playing tricks on me, but some others here have said the same thing. We don't usually run our DW every day, so I like the sense of security (that everything will get clean) that using a full tab gives. Last night I had a pretty empty DW, but one of those few items was a stinky plastic food container that would have been quite foul smelling by morning let alone this evening, so I ran the DW before bed instead of waiting, with a 1/2 tab and everything came out great. PS there were some posters who had trouble with grit (undisolved soap powder) build up in their rack glides from using Ecover so you might want to do a search for those threads discussing that....See Morewhat brand of bacon do you buy?
Comments (26)My daughter taught me how to cook bacon in the oven then freeze it. Here is how: Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees. Cover a short-lipped large sheet pan with aluminum foil. Lay out strips of bacon on the foil-covered pan and put into the oven. Check occasionally for doneness. We like our bacon crisp so cook it for about 30 minutes - just keep checking it through the glass on the door. When done, carefully remove from oven and put on stovetop to cool off. When somewhat cooled, remove bacon to a paper towel. When bacon has completely cooled and drained, lay out on a cookie sheet and put into the freezer. When bacon has frozen, put into Ziploc bag and put in freezer. The rendered fat is very clear and you can pour it into a container to keep for when you need bacon fat. Edited to change oven temp.

Comments (11)Try buying pricier tuna that is canned in its own juices (not water or oil) and then not draining it, just mix up the meat and juice together. One brand my DH who is on a low sodium diet likes is Rainforest. (25 mg sodium per serving in a 2.5 or 3 serving can, so even if he scarfs the whole can down at once it's still OK). The cans are about 4 bucks each, though. We get them at Hanneford markets. Most low or no sodium tuna is pretty bland, but that particular brand has a very good taste. I think they offer a regular sodium level one, too, but we haven't tried it. I use some lemon juice in it, and if I'm being amibitious and it's going to be eaten in one meal (no left overs) I'll scrape off some fresh lemon zest. (Day old lemon zest can get bitter.) Fresh pepper is good, too, along with finely diced celery. Are you trying to avoid the bad fats and calories in prepared mayo? Homemade mayo can be made with only good fats, and if egg yolks are in your diet, you're good to go. Oil, yolk and a bit of lemon juice and that's it, plus a bit of salt if you like. I use an immersion blender in a small straight-sided canning jar and whizz it right up in the jar, use what I want of a one-egg batch and store it with a canning jar lid on it. (I rarely finish up the batch before it goes bad, and aside from the tinge of guilt I feel throwing out spoiled food, I can always justify to myself when I use oil and an egg yolk, that I not going to actually eat all of those cals and fat, anyway.) Homemade mayo is so much better than any prepared product, it's in a class by itself, and after the first batch or two, seems to take no more trouble than, say, brewing coffee from scratch vs. instant. Something I made the other day with tuna was a gigante bean and tuna salad. Gigante beans are a great potato-y bean, that holds up well in cold salads. It was like tuna mac salad, but much better for you. (I did use homemade mayo and chopped pickles, though.)...See MoreWhat do you put in your tuna salad sandwich?
Comments (46)Eileen's post reminded me of this recipe. It's something they make at Whole Foods who were kind enough to share the recipe. It is delicious on a bit of lettuce or used as a spread on crackers.
