Cookaholics Bulletin Board

Wasn't sure where to post this....misc, kitchen tips or humor. Humor won out.

This would be better in kitchen tips. (Fuzzy, I don't know how to move things.)
I loved the 'cupcakes in ice cream cones' idea!

My daughter sent me that. I took cooking class when I was about 12 from the gas company (in rural PA that is as gourmet as it got back then). We made the cupcakes in ice cream cones, using the best quality cake mix. Even then I knew I was made for better things.

I still can't fold fitted sheets despite that tutorial

Some fitted sheets are easier to fold than others. I have several newer ones and they have a lot more elastic than the older ones making them really tricky to fold.

I love the gutter garden!

I dunno, the only thing I'd move it to is "misc". Leaving it in "humor" for now.

Those tips, as such lists to, range from the terrifically useful (cupcake carrier) to the old hat (egg cartons) to the stupid (frozen aloe vera).

I love that ice cream cone cupcake holder. Brilliant.

Here is a list of microwave uses, some which seem so obvious in hindsight, like using it as a dough proofer. I want to try the potato chips too, if I can find my mandolin. 7 Unexpected Uses for your Microwave

Steve,
I use my microwave every time I make bread to proof my dough. I have also made fat free potato chips in the microwave. I found a little plastic contraption that holds the potato slices vertically while they are cooking. You have to watch the chips closely as some will be done sooner than others, so you will want to pull those as soon as they are ready.
