    Cedar Planks are back at Costco

    4/20/16. I called Costco Perimeter/Dunwoody in the Atlanta area and they have deleted the order and they are not on order. The Brookhaven store, a smaller Costco, never carried them. Bummer. :( Rita

    Thank you Brian. Great find! I hope to get to our Costco in a couple of days and will report what I see in Atlanta. Here is what is at Costco.com: 14" x 7" (thickness not available) 10 for $29.99 http://www.costco.com/All-Natural-Alder-Grilling-Plank-10-pack.product.100238126.html...

    Best handheld spray bottle that will not clog

    It is a perennial problem. I've tried simply straining the liquid but it has never gone through a regular sprayer. You might try straining through a coffee filter, though. I've been wanting to try a new, clean hand garden sprayer. One of those might work since they should be able to be...

    Cedar Planks are back at Costco

    Brian, would you mind posting the link to the planks you mention? That is a good price (8 for $9.99 = $1.25 ea) if the size is the same as this AMAZON LINK that Dale McGee shared (12 FOR 19.95 = $1.66 ea) - 5.5" x 11.00" x 1/3" Upgraded Thickness!

    MasterCook Recipe Management Program Vastly Improved + Multi-Platform Functionality

    Clint, I'm not sure exactly how they work the financial stuff. I thought you could buy the program and then opt for the Cloud options. And I don't know how they work it if you want it to go to your iPad or phone or other gadget. If it's not clear on the website, you'd get the first-hand...

    MasterCook Recipe Management Program Vastly Improved + Multi-Platform Functionality

    This shouldn't be happening and it might be because of where your recipes were stored on your computer. You couldn't retrieve them from a backup? Your recipes might still be available. There is a fantastic MASTERCOOK HELP GROUP run by Pam Erikson who is very patient and who will help you...

    I think I've had it with FoodSaver!! *****

    My next vacuumer will probably a Weston. I've been hearing good things about them and Cook's Illustrated lists a Weston model as a winner in their equipment tests. Just be sure it comes with a jar attachment. Westons are a bit pricier than FoodSavers because they have stronger motors but I...

    Any Users? The Field Skillet: Lighter, Smoother Cast Iron

    Gene, that's a fine-looking skillet. I wish I could recall just where I read this - it might have been one of the Cook's Illustrated Equipment Reviews where they tested cast iron skillets. They said that they tested some lighter-weight skillets and found that they did not cook as evenly as the...

    I thought I would ask my forum friends for some advice.

    Great photography everyone! So appetizing! Now, how about a review of the product including links and name of the actual product? Did I miss that? It looks really useful for a variety of applications. Thank you! Rita

    Rich & Barb's Other Hobby

    How did I miss this thread? Years ago I built a very large 3-story dollhouse for our daughter and electrified it all. It took me forever. I can't even wrap my mind around all of the love, enthusiasm, and time you two put into these projects, not to mention the knowledge of so many different...

    Another Foodsaver question

    You might want to compare FoodSaver with the Weston. They are getting some good press and reviews. Cook's Illustrated also included a Weston in Cook's latest reviews. I believe that they might be a bit more money but the value seems to be there, especially since they pull a higher vacuum than...

    Why crunchy, stiff pizza crust?

    It could be any of the above, or it could be that it might have taken you a little longer to get the dough from the refrigerator, to top it, and then to the grill. It might have begun to proof and get a little lighter and puffier. Also, it could also be a factor of how old or young the dough...

    Colin, here is my favorite: Barbie's Down-South Smoked BBQ Beans They freeze well too. Or were you looking for a classic Boston Baked Bean recipe, a quicker version, or a version for the slow cooker? Rita

    New Book: Cook It In Cast Iron from Cook's Country

    Look for it at Costco. Costco often carries Cook's & ATK books, especially the sosft cover type. They might be shipped out with 2 or 3 different titles at a time and it might take a month or two for newly published books. I think I might have seen it there already, but I'm not 100% sure. If...

    Instant Pot - Favorite Chicken or Pork recipes?

    About 90% (or more) of pressure cooker recipes call for high pressure. I have a pretty large collection of pressure cooker recipes and only one or two that call for low pressure. For recipes that call for low pressure, you might try cooking them for a little less time on high pressure. Always...

    Non Stick Skillet

    Regarding the nonskid handle of the 12" nonstick skillet, I simply crush 2 sheets of foil tightly around it before putting it in an oven higher than 350° and haven't yet had a problem after at least 3 years, maybe 4. I find it quite stable in my grip. I have an issue with the thin, narrow...

    Ponca, AR/Buffalo National River

    Extraordinary photos, Tommy! Years ago my daughter and I canoed the Buffalo for 3 days. It was absolutely stunning. One of the things I remember best was that our little tent was on a sandbar across a narrow section of the river from a very tall rock cliff rising above the river. It was a...

    Non Stick Skillet

    Fred, from New Joisey, welcome to the group! :) Ex-Lon Glainder here. I've had this skillet that Cook's Illustrated recommended for about 5 years and have been over-the-top happy with it. I love the sloping sides that make it just right for tossing/flipping maneuvers. I use it almost daily...
