QUOTE(etigge @ Jun 6 2011, 09:44 AM) Those cooking chocolate are not in the fridge in the first place when you buy. They are just sitting on the shelf. Just don't add too much liquid to dilute it. In the natural form they are hard, actually very hard, needs heat to melt it. Expiry date wise, I dunno worrr. You made it so we won't know when it will expire Thanks thanks! my snicker bar gone bad a few times. really need to have lots of patient. now im trying to figure out what make MARS so good. snicker bar should not have problem because it's basically caramel and nuts. MArs a bit different , it has 2 coats inside. 1 is caramel and the 2nd one i still can't figure out and u it's easy to google for Snickers but not Mars. Anyone knows the secret, mind to share with me pls. thanks. Just like MacDonalds ice cream, they dip the ice cream in the chocolate and the chocolate hardens almost instantly. After melting and fine tuning the taste and flavour of the chocolate mixture, make sure you have enough time to mould or cover your nuts or rice crispies or whatever before they hardens.  |

QUOTE(SnoWFisH @ Jun 17 2011, 11:33 AM) Ok in that case I might stick to stainless steel pots and pans as my replacement pans. Cast iron, any brand to recommend?I don't really do hardcore cooking lol. if u do some research on the net, the best n expensive cast iron is from france . it has very colourful as compare to american lodge logic cast iron. for budget cast iron, go ikea it cost around rm 200 plus. in ikano, theres a brand call gourmet i think , seems like they copied the french one, cheaper too . having promo nowCurrently using my loyal zebra pot to fry stuff lol. |
