Hi Folks,
Pasted below is the info on the G E electric skillet available at Wal Mart.
This is so cool, we stopped selling the electric
skillet made by progressive we used to carry at Blind Mice Mart.
The feature that makes this so cool is the digital hermostat control.
It now has just a few buttons...
On/Off and them a temp up/down buttons.
It will cycle from high, med high, med, med low and simmer.
Very easy to use and it always follows the same pattern.
I highly recommend it.
Pasted below is the info and a link to it at WalMart.com
Have a Great Thanksgiving Holiday,

Hi Donna,
Your order did go through but it was notcharged to your credit card.
You entered Visa in the optional payment page
that caused the system to bypass the credit card checkout.
That is a good thing since we no longer carry this electric skillet.
There is a better one out there.
It is the GE Electric skillet and the reason
being is because the GE skillet has a new digital thermostat control on it.
It has buttons that always sequence the same way.
Press the temp button and it goes from high to
med high, then to medium, then to low and then to simmer.
It is also 16 by 12 inches.
It is a much better product and I encourage you
to get it thgough Wal Mart as we annot come close
to their great price of $39 on it.
I first used this skillet while doing a cooking
class with the department of blind servicew here in Houston.
This skillet is available at Wal Mart and is fantastic!
I have pasted the link below for it at wal mart's
web site as well as the description of it.
Have a Mice Day,
Dale

Where To Buy
How should Karo syrup be stored?
Before or after opening, Karo syrup
may be stored at room temperature. Storage
conditions affect product quality. Light corn syrup may turn slightly yellow
with age, but this is normal and not harmful.
How long can Karo syrup be stored?
Karo syrup is safe to eat for an indefinite
period of time whether it has been opened or
not opened. However, for best results we recommend using before
the "Best by" date stamped on the container.
Bottles may be refrigerated after opening,
however, the syrup will be thicker and slower to pour.
Does corn syrup serve any function in recipes besides sweetening?
Corn syrup serves different functions in
different types of recipes and in products you
purchase. It controls sugar crystallization in candy, prevents
the formation of ice crystals in frozen
desserts, enhances fresh fruit flavor in jams
and preserves, sweetens and thickens relishes. Corn syrup balances
sweet and sour flavor profiles, and is
therefore a key ingredient in many Asian dishes.
When brushed onto baked ham, barbecued meats,
baked vegetables or fresh fruit, it is an ideal
glaze. In baked goods, corn syrup holds moisture and maintains
freshness longer.
Can Karo light and dark corn syrups be interchanged in recipes?
Yes. Karo light and dark corn syrups perform
similarly in recipes and can usually be used
interchangeably. Recipes usually specify which type to use but
the choice may be guided by personal
preference. Typically, light corn syrup is used
when a delicately sweet flavor is desired, such as in fruit sauces
and jams. Karo light corn syrup is made with real vanilla.
Dark corn syrup is made with refiners' syrup, a
type of molasses. With its more robust flavor
and color, it is ideal for many baked goods.
Both Karo light and dark corn syrups, along
with Karo pancake syrup, are ideal toppings for
pancakes, waffles, French toast, and biscuits.
Can corn syrup be substituted for brown sugar or granulated sugar in recipes?
Although corn syrup and granulated sugars are
both sweeteners, it is not possible to use them
interchangeably in recipes. Because corn syrup is a liquid,
it cannot be substituted for granulated sugar
without adjusting other ingredients,
particularly in baked goods. For best results, follow recipes developed
especially for corn syrup. In sugar-sweetened
beverages, however, it's easy to experiment
with corn syrup as a ready-blending substitute.
Can corn syrup be substituted for honey or molasses?
While acceptable in some recipes, this is
generally not recommended as the finished
product will have different flavor characteristics.
What is the gluten status of Karo?
All Karo Syrup is gluten free and is produced in a facility free of gluten.
Does "light" mean Karo light corn syrup
contains fewer calories? Is light corn syrup the same as "white" corn syrup?
The clear Karo corn syrup has been called
"light" since the 1940s, before "light" became
a popular description for reduced-calorie products. The term "light"
in this case refers to the color, and not the
number of calories. Many consumers refer to
light corn syrup as "white" corn syrup.
The terms "light" and "dark" refer to the
differences in the colors of Karo syrups. Both
types have the same number of calories - 60 calories per tablespoon,
and both are fat free and cholesterol free
foods. For nutrient information on the
products, visit our our Nutrition Facts section.
Is there a reduced calorie version available?
For those looking for fewer calories, Karo Lite
Syrup is available. This contains 33% less
calories than regular corn syrup, and has no high fructose corn
syrup.
When making candy or cereal bars, it is best to
use regular Karo dark or Karo light syrup.
What is corn syrup?
Corn syrup is a mildly sweet, concentrated
solution of dextrose and other sugars derived
from corn starch. It is naturally sweet. Corn syrup contains between
15% to 20% dextrose (glucose) and a mixture of various other types of sugar.
What is the difference between Karo light and dark corn syrup?
Karo light corn syrup is a mixture of corn
syrup and is flavored with salt and pure
vanilla. It is clear and colorless, with a moderately sweet flavor.
Karo dark corn syrup is a mixture of corn syrup
and a small amount of refiners' syrup (a cane
sugar product with a molasses-like flavor). Caramel flavor,
sodium benzoate (a preservative), salt, and
caramel color are added. Dark corn syrup has a
rich brown color and distinctive flavor.
What is refiners' syrup? Why is it used in Karo dark corn syrup?
Refiners' syrup is a type of molasses. It gives
dark corn syrup its flavor and color.
When was the ingredient "vanilla" added to Karo light corn syrup?
Vanilla has always been an ingredient in Karo
light corn syrup. It gives extra smoothness and richness to the flavor.
Should Karo syrup be used for infant feeding?
We are aware that some health care
professionals suggest feeding Karo syrup to
infants in a formula or for relief of constipation. Because corn syrup,
like many other foods is not a sterile product,
there is a remote possibility that it may contain C. botulinum spores.
These spores are common in the environment and
generally not harmful to older children and
adults. In fact, in the FDA study conducted in 1991, corn syrup
and other syrups are not identified as food
sources of C. botulinum spores for infants.
However, because Karo is not specifically
intended for infant feeding, we suggest you
consult your pediatrician for advice.
Where can Karo syrups be purchased?
Although we would like all of our products to
be available in all stores, space and consumer
demand sometimes limit the number of items a retailer carries.
Check the list of Karo products to see if your
favorite product or size is there. If it's on
the list, you can ask your store manager to order it, or e-mail
us for the store nearest you that carries it.
How should Karo pancake syrup be stored?
Unopened or opened, Karo pancake syrup may be
stored at room temperature. Storage conditions affect product quality.
How long can Karo pancake syrup be stored?
Unopened bottles of Karo pancake syrup are
microbiologically safe to eat for an indefinite period of time.
Bottles maybe refrigerated after opening,
however the syrup may be thicker and slower to pour.
Can Karo pancake syrup be used in cooking?
Karo pancake syrup can be brushed onto baked
ham, barbecued meats, baked vegetables or fresh
fruit as an ideal glaze, and can be poured over waffles, hot
cereal and pancakes. It may be used in any
recipe that calls for light or dark corn syrup.
Pancake syrup will give the finished recipe a delicate maple
flavor. Some recipes include Pecan Pie, Baked Beans and frosting.
Visit our Recipes and Tips section for
delicious classic and contemporary recipes using Karo pancake syrup.
Is Karo pancake syrup interchangeable with Karo
light or dark corn syrups in recipes?
Karo pancake syrup contains maple syrup flavor
but, will perform similarly in recipes and may
be substituted in baked goods. Taste/Flavor preference is
the best usage guide.
Light corn syrup is used when a delicately
sweet flavor and color is desired, such as in
fruit sauces, jams and baked goods.
Karo dark corn syrup, with its rich brown color
and more robust flavor color, is ideal for many baked goods.
Karo pancake syrup offers a golden brown color
with a delicious maple flavor, making it a
delicious topping for pancakes, waffles, French toast, and biscuits.
It imparts an appetizing color when brushed
onto ham during the last half-hour of roasting
or ribs on the grill; and gives appetizing flavor and color
when spooned or poured over baked acorn squash and sweet potatoes.
Can Karo pancake syrup be substituted for brown
or granulated sugar in recipes?
Although Karo pancake syrup and granulated
sugars are both sweeteners, it is not possible
to use them interchangeably in recipes. Since syrup is a liquid,
it cannot be substituted for granulated sugar
directly. Other ingredients, particularly those
in baked goods, would also need to be adjusted. Since there
is no general rule, it is best to follow
recipes developed especially for corn syrup or pancake syrup.
Can Karo pancake syrup be substituted for maple syrup, honey or molasses?
Karo pancake syrup can be equally substituted
for maple syrup, honey or molasses in most
recipes and when used as a topping. Recipes using Karo pancake
syrup will not be as sweet and the finished
products will have different flavor characteristics.
What is Karo pancake syrup?
Karo pancake syrup is a naturally thick maple
flavor pancake and waffle topping made of corn
syrup, high fructose corn syrup, caramel color, salt, potassium
sorbate (to protect quality), natural and
artificial colors. For nutrient information on
Karo pancake Syrup, visit our Nutrition Facts section.
Where can Karo pancake syrup be purchased?
Although we would like all of our products to
be available in all stores, space and consumer
demand sometimes limit the number of items a retailer carries.
Check the list of Karo pancake syrup to see if
your favorite product or size is there. If it's
on the list, you can ask your store manager to order it,
or e-mail us for the store nearest you that carries it.
