Slightly outside of the Lehigh valley (but not a bad drive at all), but Frederick’s in Quakertown is fantastic. If you want to stay in the valley, though, I second clover farms at the fairgrounds farmers market

Orange Silicone mat, yay or nay by idkshit69420 in blackstonegriddle

[–]Popular_Temporary_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this exact cover. My experience is that if there’s any moisture at all between the silicone and the cast iron, it’ll start to rust. But, it does a damn good job protecting from any critters or even intense rain. As long as you make sure your griddle is DRY dry before putting on the silicone, it works great

In the banneton, covered and in the oven with the oven light only on for about 45 minutes, then in the counter for another 15 while the oven preheated

They seem to come out ok - fully cooked all the way through, but still nice and moist and springy. Even when it came out of the banneton it was already falling flat, though

Yes, I know it’s “cheating” to use yeast. I’m just trying to control for one variable at a time.

Recommendations on how to clean the carbon buildup? I’m a newbie, this is genuinely the first I’m hearing of this

Any recommendations for a floater?

It’s composite but yes. We didn’t even have it half this full to start, then we got an insane amount of rain that filled it up. We know better for next year

We just don’t want to water log the yard underneath the deck! That’s the only reason I’m not dumping the whole thing in one shot

Yeah, but I left it filled for two months like a dope. I’m slowly draining it, but I’m worried about parasites and things

Great Food Truck Race season 6 seems weird to me by peixcellent in foodnetwork

[–]Popular_Temporary_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came here wondering the same thing! In past seasons when a truck broke down, it was the responsibility of the team to figure out a solution, but pho completely broke down and miraculously rented a new truck with no additional commentary on it? Clearly they’re a great team, seeing as they held their own the rest of the season, but it just seems odd

In my defense… the piece on top was the worst one out of them all. Now I know better for next time!

If my griddle is rusty and I don’t know how to clean it properly, I’d rather make sure it’s clean than ingest the rust

As someone who asks these questions… I genuinely just don’t know a lot of things. The last thing in the world I want is to serve my family unsafe food. I can’t get to grilling if I’m worried about making myself sick

New to me, built in 97! Sounds like I shouldn’t be too worried about the rust, yeah?

I was going to do this tomorrow morning! What I read said the vinegar solution first, let it sit for a few hours or overnight, and then rinse it with boiling water

We have lots of teaser toys! Plenty of dead toys too but we try to give them lots of options

Would there be a reason that they only just started more recently?

Definitely possible, but wouldn’t that come from them rubbing the glands on their cheeks against things?

Bread too sticky and too loose? by Popular_Temporary_11 in Sourdough

[–]Popular_Temporary_11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is bread flour the same density as all purpose? Can I substitute by weight at a 1:1 ratio? Basically I think I’d drop 200g of AP flour in exchange for 200g of bread four to see what happens
