3. Plastic or plastic-coated wire whisk. To heck with protecting the Teflon, because the important thing about this item is that it goes through the dishwasher without rusting.
4. Corning Ware white grill pan. Heavy ceramic, not the plastic microwave variety. I've been looking for one ever since the tornado blew away the one that we got as a wedding gift 22 years ago. You can put 4 Ballpark franks on there, put it in a nice hot oven, and roast them until they plump and split open. Corning has not made them in the past 22 years. So I am watching ebay to see if one comes along.
5. Bundt pans. Go to a Southern Baptist 5th Sunday Pot Luck, eat some of somebody's mom's monkey bread. Then you will understand.
For those of y'all not blessed enough to be a Southern Baptist, here's the recipe;
MONKEY BREAD
4-pack of cheap refrigerated tube biscuits
Cinnamon and sugar in a bowl
Butter
1. Butter a non-stick Bundt pan. Don't try this with anything that is not non-stick.
2. Cut the biscuits - all 4 cans - into 4 pieces each.
3. Roll the pieces in cinnamon sugar mixture, then put them loosely in the pan.
4. Pour a stick of melted butter over the whole thing.
5. Cook at 350 until it is brown.
6. Pull it apart with your fingers or tongs to serve. |
DG, I absolutely love you, girl!! Yes, I have a nonstick bundt pan, especially for this recipe.
While we're on the subject: Does anyone know if those hard anodized pans are as easy to keep clean on the outside as they are supposed to be nonstick on the inside?
