Calling all bakers!

By
Admittedly, this is not a recipe-specific post but I'm looking for bakeware suggestions from the bakers out there. The silicone bakeware I have is beyond awful and I need to replace it. I've heard good things about Baker's Secret and just ordered to 8" cake pans from them to try out. I'd love to hear about what product line(s) work(s) best for you. I'm in the market for a 12 cup muffin tin and a loaf pan as well. Thanks!

    I've got Bakers Secret baking sheets and muffin cups, and I like them very much. I don't like the silicone bakingware at all, I've got some, too.

    I have some pieces of Williams-Sonoma Goldtouch bakeware: 2 half-sheet pans, 1 cookie sheet, 2 loaf pans, 2 cake pans. The stuff is nonstick. I love it because cookies come off so easily and cleaning it up is a breeze. (Cleanup is especially important to me because I don't have a dishwasher.)

    Is this stuff better than some other brand of (less expensive) nonstick? I have no idea. However, I've had my things for at least a few years now, and there are little to no signs of wear, tear, or warping.

    I don't have any brand ideas for you, but I do really like my silpat mats that I use on cheap-o grocery store pillow cookie sheets. Cookies come out soft on the inside and just chewy enough on the outside.

    I have only cheapo grocery store crap and/or hand-me-downs from my mom that are good quality but heavily used for like 20 years. Tell us what you decide -- I need something to which I can aspire!

Dayton's Famous Pine Club Salad Dressing

By
Well, close enough anyway. The Pine Club is probably Dayton's most famous restaraunt--not that Dayton is some culinary mecca or anything. This dressing is traditionally served on an iceberg lettuce salad with grated carrot (boring). It's a shame, really, since the dressing is so good but that's why it's better to eat it at home on the salad of your choice. I like it over a green salad with blue cheese, apples/pears and toasted walnuts/pecans, it's good with pasta salad and it's also good on Isaac's broccoli salad. Serves approximately 8. 1 C vegetable/canola oil 3/4 C cider vinegar 1/3 C white sugar 1 tsp salt 2 tsp garlic powder 1 scant tsp red pepper flakes You can mix this one of two ways: either pour it all into a mason jar, put on the lid and shake the heck out of it or do it up with your stick blender. I recommend using the stick blender. Either way it's delicious. Refrigerate leftovers and note that it keeps pretty well. I think I had my...

tomato & corn cobbler

By gwen
This is a delicious late summer dinner , and a one-pot meal at that, if you're willing to turn on your oven. I tweaked a lot of the amounts in the original recipe — the biscuits get really puffy and there weren't enough veggies the way it was written imo. Also for the record, I've tried adding zucchini to this but I don't recommend. INGREDIENTS    3 pints  cherry tomatoes, not cut, any kind (you can also chop big tomatoes in here but take out the pulp and seeds so it doesn't get too watery) 6   ears' worth of fresh corn kernels 1   bunch green onions whites and greens, chopped handful of fresh basil, chopped For the biscuits: 1½   cups  AP  flour 2 1/2   teaspoons   baking powder 3/4   cup   shredded cheddar or swiss cheese, or probably anything a little sharp is fine 3/4   cup  milk with a splash of vinegar or lemon juice (recipe calls for  buttermilk but I haven't been able to tell a difference) ⅓   cup ...
