Hi Allison,
The smooth cooktop which you've described sounds quite dangerous for a blind
person to use. But if it turns off automatically when the pan isn't placed
right, that's quite relaxing.
Please do post your tortilla recipe! It sounds mouth-watering!!!
By the way, my mother has taught me a cool and very simple trick for a
tortilla dinner. She makes an omlet, then fries a tortilla on a pan for a
minute or two from both sides (when it's still flat). Then she spreads some
spreadable cheese (cream cheese can work very well), then she places the
omlet on the tortilla, rolls it and cuts the tortilla in the middle. Two
minutes later, there's nothing left in my plate. :)
Once I learn how to flip an omlet without having my omlet breaking apart,
I'll obviously start doing that myself. smile.
Have a great weekend!
Shira.

Subject: [CnD] story about cooktop stove frustrations
Hi all,
What Jeri and Vicky have described are really frustrating stories. But you
just have to keep going and turning out those great dishes yay! My husband
and I have a stove that is induction heating. This means that the stove
has a smoothe cooktop, and you can't feel the burners at all, can't even
tell if the pan is on the burner because the heat comes from the bottom
up, heating just the pan and not the entire stove. Well, one day I tried
to make a tortilla de patatas potatoes and egg omelete. I turned the stove
on only to hear a beep indicating that it went off again. I thought I had
the pan placed right on the burner and was getting quite frustrated. I
decided to make lunch as a surprise for my husband and was alone in the
house, so no one to ask. Then I remembered that this stove will turn off
automatically if the pan is not placed on the burner. Very frustrating at
first, but I have figured out workarounds for this issue. Lunch was great
by the way. I can post the recipe for
tortilla de patatas if anyone would like, with instructions on how to
flip the tortilla. It took me a little while to get this step down cold,
but I have a patient husband. Have a wonderful morning.
Allison
