Thing I Learned from Summer Cooking

  1. Snow Pops are best made where you want to display/eat them.  They do not travel well.

  3. No matter what the directions say, simmering milk will make eggs cook on contact.
  4. You don’t really need a candy thermometer…just a temperature gun.

  6. You really need a pasta roller to roll out pasta thin enough.
  7. Pasta making could be the new fad in total body workouts.
  8. When baking cookie on your dashboard, thinner is better.  These were too thick by just a little.

  10. Sugar makes pectin gel.  You need low sugar pectin to make low sugar jam.  Otherwise you get syrup.
  11. When your oven is not working, it is possible to bake Jamaican Beef Patties on the grill.
