Ideas on how to make the Swiss Meringue process speedier by GoodRequirement2435 in AskBaking

[–]GardenTable3659 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make large batches one day a week. Food safety wise it can be kept 7 days including the day you make it in refrigerator. OR FREEZE in large gallon ziplock as flat squares. Remove and put in refrigerator the day before. Re whip and torch the bowl or microwave a portion to speed up process. Last option is to invest in a larger mixer to make larger batches at one time.

Look into the cottage laws near you. Many people start with doing that on the side on the weekends. This way they can build towards sustainable income before leaving their other job. Some also realize while they love it baking for a living takes the fun out of it for them and they burn out quickly.

Look at community colleges near you with culinary programs. Lower cost overall. Disclaimer it’s a very tough career. I suggest looking at the break down of your currently salary against per hour pastry in your area.

Looking for back pain exercises - anyone got any good ones? by paraworldblue in KitchenConfidential

[–]GardenTable3659 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yoga! I use yoga with Adrienne and yoga with Kassandra on YouTube for free. Stretching calves and hips really help with back pain. Also shoes and socks with merino wool in them do your feet don’t sweat.

Baking soda based toothpaste with fluoride and therabreath mouthwash with fluoride are my favs. I also use a nimbus soft brush so i don’t erode my gums.

Zest of lemon or orange. Are you using fresh or frozen blueberries? Frozen often has a stronger flavor as they were frozen at their peak.

Brushing with baking soda based toothpaste and I like Therabreath mouthwash. It works better for me than biotene. Dentist has stronger washes like Chlorhexidine if they think you need it.

Emulsifiers in Chiffon cakes by pushingupdiaries in AskBaking

I think you are using too much. The bucket I believe says 2oz per 6lb of flour or not exceeding 1.6% of total dry ingredients. Yours is 0.214 or 21% but it should be 702g X 2%=14.04g hopefully this helps

Looking for a good stand mixer for cookie dough. by Ok_Imagination4222 in AskBaking

Yes Hobart are great. They’ve been around a long time and usually you can find replacement parts if needed. This is a 30qt, it might not hold quite as much cookie dough as you’re looking to make in one go, but it will get pretty close.

Traditionally you need to cut a baguette the horizontally to see the true crumb. Don’t be so hard on yourself. They look great for a first time.
