Re: [CnD] Talking thermometers
Do the ones from Blind Mice Megamall go up to a high enough temperature? I know that fudge is 235, and I think that some of the harder candies have to go up to 260.

Re: [CnD] Silicone rings

I remember back in the day, they used to have these metal ones. The edges were sort of sharp. They would not work with any kind of coated pan. I still like my toad-in-a-hole, but it would be nice to fry an egg without the bread for a change. For anyone who doesn't know, a toad-in-a-hole is a piece of bread with a hole punched out in the middle. You fry it in a pan and put an egg in the middle. It is easy to turn over because the bread holds the egg firmly in place. -Original Message- From: Cookinginthedark On Behalf Of Marie Rudys via Cookinginthedark Sent: Tuesday, July 14, 2020 2:54 AM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Marie Rudys Subject: Re: [CnD] Pancakes?

Yes, a syringe will go into a vanilla bottle, but it might not go all the way to the bottom. You can extract the top half using your syringe though. How is that for a good news bad news answer?

Two of the three of us were blind and one sighted. We did not favor the same methods for tasks. I thought it was important to tell people that if one method didn't work for them, they could try another one, and just because I liked it didn't mean necessarily that they would.

Well, I use my talking toaster oven for everything. SMILES. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't use the talking toaster oven and my microwave oven. Yes it was on the expensive side. But having it on the payment plan helped. I mainly use either the bake and or toaster options. I occasionally will use the warm and or broiler features. I either will use the toaster oven and or my off of the shelf microwave oven with a brailled keypad, and or I'll use both for doing parts of the same meal. Hope this answers your questions.

Re: [CnD] Reminder of list guidelines: all members please read!
I have read and certainly agree with the CND guidelines. However, in defense of my last post if it needs defending, although it might be perceived as a bit social as well as being about cooking, I hope it might be beneficial to the list. Depending on what you want to cook, the art of cooking can definitely be one of the more difficult things for blind people to master. I think it's a given that concerning blind folks or really anybody and cooking, mistakes will be made. Being blind, our mishaps and mistakes along the cooking road will be specifically related to the particular aspects of cooking that challenge us. I find this list to be an incredibly valuable resource but I think that when we relate cooking mistakes we make or have made even though the messages might be considered a little social, they might be as important to other listers as the exchanging of recipes or answers and tips to our cooking questions. After all, learning from the pitfalls of others is much easier than falling in the pit ourselves and could be the difference between a great cooking experience and a disastrous one. By the way, I tried to make pancakes only once and it was a horrendous calamity. On 7/12/2020 5:45 AM, Helen Whitehead via Cookinginthedark wrote: Cooking in the Dark List Guidelines: 1.

Re: [CnD] More books written for the blind
When I was about fifteen, I was cooking some french fries one day which I had done before on numerous occasions. I suddenly realized that the french fries cooking didn't sound right. I held my hand over the skillet on our gas stove and realized that the heat was coming up much higher than it should be. I realized that the grease was on fire but I either didn't know or had forgotten about just sliding a lid over the skillet to smother it. I panicked and picked up the skillet and started fast-walking. I'm not sure exactly where I thought I was going so then I set the skillet down in our hall. I ran into my bedroom and grabbed a big, wool army blanket off my bed. I ran back, folded the blanket double and dropped it over the skillet. That was large overkill but it did put the fire out. Of course, it ruined the blanket and left a large skillet-shaped burn scar on our hardwood floor. I met my mom in the driveway when she got home from work and told her what had happened. I don't know what she really thought but all she said was "well, accidents happen". On 7/11/2020 9:17 PM, Lora Leggett via Cookinginthedark wrote: Good thing no one was hurt except a lot of pride.

My mom was in the hospital, and my dad was at work, so she asked me if I'd like to surprise my dad with dinner when he came home. He got home just in time to see smoke coming out of the house because we had made hamburgers, and the broiler was on and I think it hadn't been cleaned or something, and ... well, thankfully we didn't have to call the fire dept.

In 1970, I was a senior at Texas School For The Blind. At the beginning of the year, two other senior guys and I needed a half credit to for some reason fill our graduation requirements. It turned out that we could either take shop or home ec which meant cooking for half the year until Christmas break. We had all taken various kinds of shop for years so we decided together that it might be fun to take cooking, and so we did. Mrs. Tipps had been the home ec teacher for many years and in fact, she had written Cooking Without Looking which was inspired by her husband who was totally blind and had passed away sometime back. As fate would have it, it ended up being just us three guys and Mrs. Tipps in cooking class. It was interesting because I don't think she had ever taught any males much less three fun-loving guys like us and no girls in class. It was hard for us to take cooking class really seriously, so we probably took it half-seriously. Anyway, I remember we laughed a lot and worked in some learning too. To her credit, Mrs. Tipps was very tolerant of us. For the culmination of the cooking class, each class got to decide what they'd like for a meal and then prepare it. When she asked us what we wanted to do for our meal, I wonder how she looked and what she thought when we told her we wanted to do chili and milk shakes. The day before our meal, she went shopping and bought everything we'd need. The next day when we came to class, somebody came and told us that Mrs. Tipps was out sick but her message to us was to go ahead and prepare our meal. So I remember three

I used to have lots of trouble with pancakes. I either didn't cook them with enough oil so that they stuck to the pan and didn't turn correctly, or I tried to turn them too early and made an equally terrible mess of them. Now I wait until all the bubbles go away on top, and they are almost dry but not quite. Then the spatula slides under nicely and they turn correctly. If I haven't made them for a while though it may take two or three to get back into the groove. The other thing is that I need to keep the heat lower than my sighted friends or I tend to make burnt offerings. If there is a sighted person around, if they are willing I let them cook the pancakes. I am not above buying frozen pancakes and heating them in the microwave. By the time I make a batch from raw dough, I have too many for one and have to freeze some of them anyway, refrigerate them, or feed them to the birds in my back yard. When growing up it was feed them to the chickens, and other farm animals. Back then it was sour dough pancakes, which I love but have not kept an ongoing starter for years for lack of use. There are not enough people in my household to do that anymore, but one of these days I will begin a new starter. The temptation is growing just like the yeast does.

Re: [CnD] Silicone rings

Plus, I don't want to wash all those extra dishes, the bowl and the funnel, and who knows what else. But I am glad this method works for some people. I used to work as a rehab teacher. Two of the three of us were blind and one sighted. We did not favor the same methods for tasks. I thought it was important to tell people that if one method didn't work for them, they could try another one, and just because I liked it didn't mean necessarily that they would.

Pamela Fairchild -Original Message- Ok, here's my two cents on this topic. I purchase the frozen pancakes and brown them in the talking toaster oven. I love them. Hope this feedback helps out.

Re: [CnD] Pancakes?
I have a set of those silicone rings you can use that I put into the pan, pour the batter inside of it and when it spreads, it is the size of the inside of the silicone ring--dollar pancakes. I turn both the ring and the pancake over. You can get these silicone rings from Blind Mice Megamall.
