[CnD] cleaning air fryer basket

2021-01-02 Thread Tiffany Jessen via Cookinginthedark
Hello, I have had my Air Fryer a few years now, and use it nearly every day, sometimes multiple times. To clean it I leave the basket in the drawer, and then put it in the sink with hot soapy water to soak it for a while until my lazy self gets around to cleaning. I do have a non-scratch

[CnD] Liners

2020-12-14 Thread Tiffany Jessen via Cookinginthedark
A friend and I were chatting last night, and she wondered if she could use a crockpot liner inside the Instapot. I have neither device, nor know what material liners are made out of, but assume they are like those disposable aluminum tins you can sometimes get in the grocery. If so, wouldn’t

I openly known nothing about the kitchen and don’t wish to learn more, but when friends come over they are welcome to cook. My one friend often makes a fabulous mac & cheese using shells instead of elbows, at least three if not four different types of cheese, ground chicken and bacon. Sometimes

2020-08-09 Thread Tiffany Jessen via Cookinginthedark
Chicken bacon ranch is my absolute favorite pizza. It uses the bottle, which is good, because I don’t like red sauce on anything much. I don’t like any of those types of ziti, ravioli, lasagna dishes because of it. Pizza is one of my few exceptions for red sauce, but it’s much better with

Yes, Peapod is accessible. I have used it for something like 15 years now, far before all the others started to deliver. Peapod is stop and shop, which some say is more expensive than other groceries, but The service fee is less than other services too, so it kind of balances out. With sales,

That was my concern when first thinking about the eyedropper suggestion many years ago, but the syringe has a plunger that comes in and out of the base. If you put little cuts in the side of the plunger you will know how much you have based on when those cuts are level with the base Sent from

I use a syringe as well, but the needle is removed. Then I transfer liquids from small narrow bottles like vanilla into a little jar, maybe the size of a baby food jar or smaller, it was a sample jam or mustard or something in a gift package, and that is wide enough for dipping the syringe. My

Yes, I forgot to respond to your inquiry about smart fryers. There are a number now that can be interface with Alexa, but they do pump up the price. I read a very good review a few months ago on AppleVis. I think I saved it for later reference to share, if you want me to dig it up I can, but

I have the cooks essential from QVC as well. In fact three of my blind friends also have it, without any of us knowing what models the other had. The buttons are arranged in a circle, evenly spaced far apart. The five of the top of the circle, obviously shaped like a rainbow, are presets for

Yes, I had one that was very similar because my first apartment only had burners, no oven. I used it nearly every day, always on convection and it was so convenient. The extra position on the middle knob was also rotisserie, but I’m not interested in dealing with that type of mess. I used it a

Also, I don’t know if it’s different with harder types, like delicious, as I really don’t like delicious, but most of the Fugees then I eat not only feel a little softer when I push them, but if I rub my finger along the skin sometimes you almost feel a wrinkle. If you see this, at very least
