sour salt is citric acid. It is often found with the pickling spices

Also good for descaling things like a hot water pot or a humidifier.

@Sequel I really like mine a lot. Not the cheapest but certainly not the most expensive. Mine is electric and the element is on the top so I tend to bake sweets and bread in the lower half so they aren’t overly browned on top.

My Bosch is the same only after @Sequel posted about the hidden bottom element in the Fridigaire I Googled and found this for my series stove:
"Broiler in Oven, Hidden Bake Element, Temperature Control"

It has a number of "presets" so I guess it uses top, both or bottom as needed?
It also has a quick preheat button. Maybe that turns on the bottom element as well as the top?

Two more loaves we will actually get to use vs eat.

Isn't "use" and "eat" the same with bread?

I hope I can get some good pie apples

DW uses only Cortlands for pie.

and my grandma said burnt toast makes you beautiful---she got rid of a lot of burnt toast on that one!

Did it work or did she just get rid of the burnt toast?

Golden Delicious are an excellent pie apple. I have come to prefer Honeycrisp for my pies.

The term use was meant to reference things like sandwiches and toast. Typically it’s eaten before it cools the first time.

My whole family would take a slice of hot bread with butter (real stuff, not that almost plastic fake crap) over a slice of pie or piece of cake.

Such a pretty color, good job Meg!

Thanks, Debby! I meant to take a picture of the apples, too. They are about golf ball size, but so good. I'm not sure what kind they are.
