The Easy-Bake Oven was introduced in 1963,

Basically a century after your momma was introduced

The Cream Poffs can go limp and flat.

i believe that 250 grams of butter is about 18 tablespoons of butter. as close as i can get is 252 grams. one tablespoon is 14grams according to the nutrition facts on the box. (so it would be 2sticks and 2 tablespoons)

You should use the same amount as called for in the recipe.

According to Cooks Illustrated, imitation Vanilla has a *lot* more vanillin than real vanilla will have. Apparently, to be normal strength vanilla, you can only have so much vanilla.

There's double-strength vanilla, too, which is what I prefer to use.

400 degrees Celsius is 752 degrees Fahrenheit. And yes that is Hot!

Look at it at eye level with the measuring cup stationary. The center of the meniscus (curved upper layer) is the height that must be lined up with the indicator line on the measuring cup. Add or remove liquid to adjust level.

You can use any pan that is oven-proof to bake a ham, keeping in mind that some baking dish materials such as glass or plastics should not be heated above 350 degrees F.

Meringues were invented in Switzerland in the town of Meiringen by an Italian chef named Gasparini.

Baking is generally the use of an oven at consistent, controlled temperature; where-as, roasting is considered to be the use of open flame- typically, slighty higher temps with more circulating air. Hope this helps.

Is there an answer? The volume of 1 cup = 16 tablespoons = 1/2 pint = 0.2365882368 liters. Gram is a mass (weight). That does not go together.

arrange in a bread plate..

There are a lot of variables in bread making. An hour is probably an average. You can speed the time by putting the dough in a very low temp oven, or setting the pan it is in over a pot of lightly steaming water. Use a wire rack across the top of the water pan. A single batch of dough can be forced to rise in 20 to 30 minutes. Generally, the faster the dough rises the coarser the end product is going to be.

Yes, because of the credit crunch people are baking at home much more because it is cheaper. Cooking shows on TV may also be contributing to the rise is home baking, as well as the fact that people are becoming more concerned about their health due to heart disease and obesity. After the release of Meryl Streep and Amy Adam's "Julie and Julia", the sale of Julia Child's cookbooks has risen and there is a massive renewed interest in home cooking.

Yes. Baked potatoes are usually cooked at 400o C for 1 hour while most cakes bake at 350o C. You will simply need to adjust your baking time for the potato, adding approx. 20 min. Alternately you can increase the baking temp when the cake is removed and adjust your time by about only 10 min.

1 1/2 lbs. butter equals 3 cups. Each stick of butter is 1/2 cup

For flour to become airy and be used as dough, it needs to rise. This process is started with either baking powder, or a mixture of warm water, yeast and sugar. The yeast grows as it eats the sugar, and produces gases which make the dough rise.

You can even it out with Ketchup and Brown sugar... Depending if you want it sweet though... You should also add a HINT of Dill Weed.

You should bake 2 lbs. of chicken breasts in the oven at 350 degrees for one hour if the chicken is on the bone. If the chicken is boneless it will take less time. Boneless chicken will be done in 30-40 minutes.

It is not advisable to cook pork joints from frozen, unless it is a commercial, small joint prepared to size and with specific instructions. Thaw yours thoroughly and then cook as fresh meat.

id say like cook it as long as it says to but then just let it cook a little longer and keep checking up on it until it looks done. I'd say cook it at what the recipie says, just so you don't mess up. But only the first time. 2nd time, lower the temp, but increase time. do this until you reach your potaoto is cooked

Carob chips. or carob powder are a great substitute for chocolate. And kind of randomly, they are safe for dogs! Very similar to chocolate, I don't know about the taste personally, but this is what I have heard and read. This website below has more answers...

125 ml is roughly equivalent to 1/2 a cup.
