Any Home Bakers Here?

Before, um, “someone” ate the last of the cookies, I took a picture. I squished these down before baking in the air fryer so they would cook more evenly. They actually puffed back up from the circulating air.

I only need one cup of hot water at a time. It is quicker and cheaper to heat it in the microwave. On the rare occasions that I melt butter or chocolate, I do it on the stove top. I never melt peanut butter.

I wouldn't have a Keurig if someone gave it to me. I have a Toastess for a single cup of coffee made with grounds and no Keurig.
I considered the stove, but it’s silly for a tablespoon of butter or peanut butter (as an ice cream topping). Even melting a whole bag of chips is easier in the microwave than in a double boiler. And fudge. I make fudge in the microwave. And caramel... :drool

I never melt just a tablespoon of butter. I never melt peanut butter. I don't own a double boiler and still melt chocolate on the stove on the rare occasion it is necessary for a specific recipe. I don't make fudge. If I wanted to make caramel, I would do the can of sweetened condensed milk method.

If I want a topping on ice cream, I either pour freshly made chocolate pudding over vanilla ice cream while the pudding is still hot off of the stove or I sprinkle Nestle's Quik chocolate powder on it.

I don't have an air fryer and don't think I'd want one. We had a keurig and used the refillable cups but it was so much work for my DH to have to make his own coffee, I got rid of it. :rolleyes: I sometimes melt butter in the oven while it's preheating... otherwise on the stove top. If I make fudge it's the double boiler method.

The Colorado Peach Cobbler recipe calls for melting the butter in the oven before adding the rest of the ingredients to the pan.
 
I've never made that, sounds good though. If a recipe calls for melted butter to be mixed in, I put it in a Pyrex measuring cup then set it in the oven.

You melt the butter in the pan, pour the batter over the butter and the peaches over the batter.
 
They aren't the same the way I make them.
I sometimes make overnight French toast, which is pretty much the same thing as bread pudding.
You can grate it and make bread crumbs .
I've got bags of bread cubes toasted and bread cubes untoasted to be used for bread crumbs and for adding to salmon cakes, meatloaf, and stuffing. All sitting in my freezer along with whole loaves of bread! Yikes!
 
French toast!
I do like French toast, but had been avoiding it since the girls had quit laying and my surplus eggs were quickly dwindling away. Betty White, my buff orphington, had even stopped talking to me and quit letting me pet her. She was walking right past me like she didn't even know me. Finally, one day last week, as I was cleaning out the coop, here comes Betty just chattering away. Catching me up on all the gossip. Next day AN EGG! She's already back to squatting when I say her name. Aw, what a week of resuming laying will do for a sweet little fluffy butt chicken named Betty.:celebrate
