Hi,Marie.
I'm in the same boat most of the time. I wanted to get all of the
ingredients because these are fresh, home grown cucumbers and I didn't
want them to go bad before I had a chance to use them.
I use the Amazon pantry, and most of the time their spices are cheaper
and in smaller quantities that work for someone who lives alone and is
on a budget.
I also couldn't tell if the 4 oz. ground mustard was a powder or a
liquid. Sometimes Instacart flakes out and that little piece of info is
missing.

OK, I get it, Lisa. When you don't have sighted help around all the time,
I just went ahead and bought the more expensive item. A 4-ounce tin of dry
mustard will last a long time, after all, you don't use more than a
teaspoon or so in a recipe.
$1.45; I will have to ask my new assistant if she can find a cheaper dry
mustard elsewhere. Right now, though, Amazon is just about the best I can
do for some of my stuff.

Yes, I get that, but the only kind my store carries is by Coleman and
it's about seven bucks for a 4 oz. container.?? The store's brand of
ground mustard is much smaller, but only around $1.25.
I'm guessing that the more expensive dry mustard is a courser grind than
ground mustard.?? I've used ground mustard before, and it's a very fine
powder.
I usually try to stick to a recipe the first time I make it, but
honestly, I probably won't use dry mustard in another recipe for quite a
while, so I cant' really justify spending that much for something I'll
only use once.

Dry mustard is not the same as Dijon mustard. Dry mustard, the one I got
from Amazon, comes in a square metal container. I cannot remember the
brand off the top of my head. Some of my recipes call for dry mustard,
and
because a previous home worker did not know what it is, I had to shop for
it on Amazon to get exactly what I wanted.
I don't think you can substitute Dijon (wet mustard) for dry. There is a
difference, but I don't know how to explain it. Sorry.

Hi, all.
I'm making a dill vinaigrette that calls for dry mustard.
I've heard of ground mustard, and I have Dijon mustard. The one dry
mustard I've found at my local grocery store is in a 4 oz. jar. I
thought ground mustard was the same thing as dry, but apparently not.
Is there a huge difference? could I just use ground mustard instead?
It's cheaper by several dollars.
TIA for the help.
Lisa
