A lot of us keep a backup in the freezer for such things.It was so hot the last months, I didn't do a lot of ( bread) baking, when I wanted to use my sourdough, it had turne MOLDYwhen I researched the web, almost everybody said toss it, but I found one website where they said if you only take a teaspoon of the not moldy looking sourdough and refesh it a few times, always just using a teaspoon of the sourdough and tossing the rest ( I usually hate doing that) you can use it again. So, I will do it. Already refreshed it 2 times, looking ( and smelling) good , I will try to use it after I have refreshed it for the 3. time
I forgot to acknowledge that I’ve had my starter go wonky a few times, even fuzzy, and still kept a little to restart. Using my freezer supply means I was gagging.It was so hot the last months, I didn't do a lot of ( bread) baking, when I wanted to use my sourdough, it had turne MOLDY
I had an igniter for the baking burner go out on my old oven. I swapped the one for the broiler until I could get a new igniter mailed to me.For information purposes... Pilot lites have been replaced with electronic spark ignition for stove tops, and glow type igniters for the oven, and broiler burners. Things are designed "FAIL SAFE" that means, if your igniter is broken,, there is no way to light oven with a match. The top burners are capable of being started with a match light in a power outage situation.
My preference for stoves, ovens, is GAS.I had both.
Good job!It was so hot the last months, I didn't do a lot of ( bread) baking, when I wanted to use my sourdough, it had turne MOLDY
I keep some dehydrated starter as a backup.
Its like a parallel universe. I had same thing happen to me also. I very rarely use the top broiler, I ordered 2 igniters,, so I wont have to swap the top one again. Double the work.
