yeah THOSE are spatulas...flexible, scrapey-spready things. Like the thing cake-decorators spread frosting with, spatula... Something you pick stuff up with that has an offset handle, is a turner I have just proclaimed. Not a spatula. I am going to call them turners for the second half of my life.



Yes I think that is just so. Its the flexibility that makes it a spatula or a turner. If you cannot really Spackle with it, its a turner.

I have two metal ones, I call cake turners.
 
I took several cake decorating classes years ago and there was a reason that the handle is offset. It's easier to frost and decorate with.
 
^ Interesting ^

I tried poaching eggs yesterday...the last one was perfect, the other three were not. Clearly something I need to work on, may have to try this.
 
I do know how to make stone soup?! My pots are cute aren't they?!

I did a search for bacon pans and Wiiliams and Sonoma had some models, this one isn't WS, but it gives you an idea what it looks like. Mine is more oblong, and I've never seen a funky handle like that.

Nice...I'll have to get something of that sort B)
 
17th year wedding anniversary is furniture. I doubt she realized why, and I am quite sure she did not fully appreciate it since she traded away a $6,000 dining room set for a particleboard 3/4 sized pool table... but i walked away from an entire houseful of furniture. ~happy anniversary, honey!~

However, I took the entire kitchen.

Most everything in that was mine from 25 years before, or gifted to me on birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas or Fathers Day.

I have been adding vintage small appliances. I may have to give up my 1948 mint gas stove, and the first model-year dishwasher ever (maybe) because I'm tired of storing them.

Ends up being just a few things you use over and over.

I still have never used my antique-ish apple peeler.

HELLO 1948 Mint Gas Stove!

*waves*
 
okay. that just really excited me. i've done my craigslist cruising now and have priced my dream options. *sigh* to be honest, i need a new fridge first.
 
Yesterday, I made an amazing tomato bisque , from scratch. First attempt and the kids and I loved it. Perfect on a cool day.

They turn up. These were owned and maintained since new by a local family that owned the Buick dealership. They likely had kitchen staff. All the knobs are there, all the labels still intact.

During the war you could not get vehicles in the civilian market so by the late forties dealers were booming. In 1948 Hobart came out with the first dishwasher, called the kitch-aid. later to be spun off as a brand of its own. I think Ive posted them before. Ps by mint i meant condition. The stove if in mint would be worth 12,000. The family sold the house with the appliances still installed and working. New owners decided they wanted a modern kitchen... SMH

It is the size of a six-burner. one deep well burner, three on top, griddle that lifts with the handle to the extreme left to use as a broiler, two ovens, one for warming, one full size. Never had a chance to use it. Ended up having to put in storage with mostly everything I own.

I want a vintage stove soooo badly!
 
Kitchen porn! New thread or add on to this? BotBoy's idea, I like it.
 
The secret to keeping cast iron seasoned, is keeping it clean immediately after use.
I definitely do that. I'm starting to wonder if maybe I keep the heat turned up a smidge too high? It says not to go over medium high, and I don't, but our oven is old so maybe the intensity of the burners is wonky. Blergh.

LOL thanks =D

You using soap on them when you clean up?

Hope you do! I'm hoping to get my hands on some of the bakeware soon. That deep purple casserole pan

Ohhhh that is beautiful! Makes me wanna fap too!

I don't use soap on the pans that aren't enameled, the Lodge directions say not to do that. I don't even use the rough side of the sponge. I have a little plastic smooth-edged scraper I use for really crusty bits.

Are you concerned about microbes??

Once I have cast iron seasoned I do not wash it if I do not have to. I usually can wipe it out with no more than a damp cloth, get it hot to dry it and open the pores, then I apply a light rub of oil.
I do a layer of Crisco because that's what the Lodge people called for, but again...I must be doing something wrong. Truth be told, I'm a little skeered of the pans I have that aren't enameled, now. Which is, like, all of them except one. :D :rolleyes:

OMG I laughed out loud!

And I'm feeling crummy and should be napping, but that was funny.
Zumi be clevvah.
I like to think there is a grassroots movement of foodies around this joint, slowly swelling up and over any other icky bits.
I've said this before, but I also like to think of the GB as Johnny's unofficial food blog.

We be people that like to eat!
 
Fortunately I could tell by the fragrance, someone's roast was done. The guy that put it in the oven would have made jerky. He is still glued to his video game. I pulled out the roast, let it rest, sliced it and made gravy from the drippings. The other guy made barbequed ribs but forgot to check if we had any barbeque sauce, so I made him a quick version from ketchup with brown sugar, seasonings, a dash of mustard and several dashes of Louisiana hot sauce.
