help: wax paper on sheet for baking spiced nuts?
Comments (5)Okay, they are in the oven -- on parchment. Here is the recipe, with my thanks. I have made other recipes and had them from stores, and they are all great, but in my opinion this recipe is simply perfect -- the balance of sweet, salty, and spicy is exactly right. I go so crazy over these, she always brings them when she comes. Finally I asked for the recipe, and she graciously complied. Connie's Roasted Pecans 1 egg white 4 Tsp water 2/3 c sugar 1 tsp salt 1 tsp cinnamon (heaping) 3/4 tsp ground cloves 1/4 tsp allspice 1/2 lb. pecans Beat whites with water to peaks. Stir in sugar and seasonings, add nuts, & toss to coat. Remove nuts w/ slotted spoon so excess drains. Bake 250 F 1 hour [on cookie sheets lined with nonstick foil or parchment -- but NOT waxed paper!] until completely dry. When placing on cookie sheet, separate as much as possible. **** Note: I tripled this recipe, and I had WAY too much of the egg mixture. It made it very hard to put them on the sheets -- I ended up picking them out of each spoonful with my fingers and dumping the excess into another bowl, and it took a long time. The mixture had too much body to drip through the slotted spoon. Maybe it would be better to beat just to the foamy stage? Next time, I would make a single recipe and just add a lot more nuts; I think even triple the amount of nuts would work with the original recipe....See MoreFast window cover - wax paper and leaves
Comments (5)Lena, Thank you for this! I read it while at work yesterday afternoon and after picking my kids up from preschool, we made a leaf "stained glass" for each of them. They are almost 3 and 5, and they had a great time choosing their leaves, laying them out, and then holding the finished products up to the light to see the leaves lit up. We taped the squares onto their bedroom windows. I think we will be making some more soon! Thank you :)...See MoreWhere do you put your wax paper, clingwrap, storage bags, etc.?
Comments (23)This is one of those broad "categories" I prefer to break up and store by use. Hence parchment sheets are near baking center, but parchment roll is near prep where I might be making up packages for steaming veg or seafood. Similarly, microvable wax paper is near MW, but waxed paper sandwich bags are stowed with the brown paper lunch bags. (I don't make up lunch bags very often, nowadays.) Foodsaver rolls are near foodsaver machine. Aluminum foil is near oven with parchment roll. Clingfilm is near the fridge, along with my ziplocks, though I am trying hard to use reuseable glass containers for leftovers, which are stored in the same place. Freezer bags and butcher paper are with my food preservation supplies. I am working hard to get over my tendency to lump sets (dishes, pots, implements, spices) together rather than disposing them around by where they get used. I figure that even if it's more steps to place them in their storage positions (i.e. putting soup bowls in a different cupboard from the cereal bowls) at least those steps aren't happening just at the moments I need them for cooking or plating.
