Im all the time flopping pork loin in it and skillet frying them.

Mother in law makes homemade biscuits every couple of days.

Guess we’re KOOKS.


Do you use regular flour to make bread in that bread machine? Years ago the family got a bread maker for a gift but it called for special flour so it rarely got used. Was kind of a waste.


The "special" flour is not that hard to find. It's usually labeled "bread flour". One can use the All Purpose type (we have) , but it works better if you add some gluten too it.

Unfortunately, even the bread flour has been hard to find at times.

I used to use bread flour. Now just use AP flour like for all other baking. It works fine. IIRC, bread flour is ground a little finer. Easy to sub.

A few weeks ago, AP flour, whole wheat flour, corn meal, even cake flour! were out of stock. Closer to normal now.

Damn rookie bakers!

Geno - what came out of the Bundt pan?

Also, remember “the people’s car”? Volks vagen!
