It is not the metal causing the brown. Browning of fruits and vegetables is caused by the breakdown of cells. When you cut lettuce, you are literally cutting through cell walls and rendering many of them damaged. If you rip the lettuce instead, then you allow the cell wall to remain intact...

Marshmallow cream is very often found already refrigerated when used as a dip. Most grocery stores that make these dips and platters ahead of time and always refrigerate it.

I used to have one. It was extremely light, so my guess is aluminum. I got rid of my shield because it was too big for most of my normal pie pans (sorry! but I had pyrex long before stoneware! LOL).I never had a problem cleaning it. If she is, my first try would be a baking soda and water...

Usually I cheat and buy the Red Mill brand mix. It's yummy!

Snickerdoodle dough is similar to sugar cookie dough, but snickerdoodles are usually a softer sugar cookie that is rolled in cinnamon and sugar before baking. Super yummy!

If that is the book I'm thinking of, it had a lot of photos and very few recipes. Most of the stuff kids could use is not marketed towards kids. Kids don't buy things at the parties - the moms and women do. So, they just don't put money in marketing towards it.There are things you can do on...

You don't need corn syrup for candied pecans.Here is my recipe I use every single year with rave reviews. I just made them today actually on my rectangular stoneware pan. Candied Pecans 1 lb. pecan halves 1/2c sugar 1t cinnamon 1/2t salt 1 egg white 1T waterPreheat oven 225. Combine sugar...

I've used this device several times. Every cobbler, crisp and pie I make, the apples come out too mushy because they are half the size I normally would cut them. If I take the baked item out sooner, the top isn't done yet. Is there a way to get bigger pieces? Or avoid mush?

I had a nightmare $800 party. The hostess went to take a shower 10 minutes after the party started, the house was a complete disaster 30 minutes before I showed up - so instead of setting up I was vacuuming, her hallway is narrow and dark and I put a plate in the hallway - apparently their...

Why not the Strawberry Amaretto pastries? Just substitute Splenda for sugar. The rest is pretty low in sugar already except the fructose in the strawberries.

I love following Bakerella's blog and this recipe would really show off the mini muffin pan and the tart shaper as well! What a great fall recipe. I'm sure instead of using the pumpkin cookie cutter, you could use the measure-all cup instead for cutting out the pie crust. Pumpkin Pie Bites...

I was going to make this and realized this recipe would work in the DCB. Rave reviews as usual for Alton Brown's applesauce: * 3 Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, and quartered * 3 Fuji apples, peeled, cored, and quartered * 1 cup unfiltered apple juice * 2 tablespoons...

I find this thread interesting b/c when I did an Usborne Book party the Consultant put her return label on EVERY book that was sold. I told her as the host I wasn't going to do put those on the books people bought at my show.
