Yeah, here's a tip.

Do your own damn research.

Is it so hard to use google to dig up content for your website
assignment that you have to just ask people? What kind of internet
technique is that?

Well? That's what she's doing. She's taking a class and was assigned to
build a website. She's prodding at other groups too.

I would be remiss in my duties as a responsible netizen if i allowed
someone taking an internet course to believe that they can schlep around
like that without getting flamed a few times.

People have been coming to usenet to ask others to do their homework for
as long as there has been usenet.

And other people have been telling those people to get stuffed for just
as long.

If nobody fulfilled the 2nd part, that would mean that the internet had
devolved thoroughly into a monkey house and not just mostly.

There is another option. You could just ignore people asking you to do
their homework for them.

By the way, I learned a new tip today. If the original poster didn't ask
this question I might not have learned something. Their motive might have
been wrong but it benefits me so I'm okay with it.

P.S. I just thought of another tip: If you are mixing something that
spatters, put the bowl in the sink and mix it there. Easier clean up.
Additionally, folder a tea towel and place it under the bowl so it doesn't
vibrate in the sink.

Another way, especially for whipping cream, is taking a double thickness
of waxed paper larger than the top of the mixing bowl, poking a hole
through the middle with the beaters, then inserting the beaters into the
motor. This makes a nice splash shield.

For those who have a garbage disposal and don't like to use it for
certain things:

Here's what I do to keep down the mess when I'm breaking 10 eggs at a
time. I put a large piece of plastic wrap over the hole in the bottom
of the sink to put the egg shells in. Then I fold the corners up and
wrap them up and put them in the garbage.
I do exactly the same thing with peeling potatoes, as my disposal was
once ruined by putting down too many potato peelings in at a time.
One reason I don't put egg shells down the garbage disposal (without a
lemon) is the yukky smell!!!!

I also put down a piece of saran wrap on the cabinet beside the stove
top. I make any kind of mess I want, then wrap up that mess when I'm
finished - just toss.

A lot of baking recipes call for greasing and flouring the pan. When
I'm making a bundt cake, or using any kind of a pan with
grooves/fluting, I use a pastry brush to grease the pan. The pastry
brush makes it easier to get the shortening into all the grooves in
the pan. I also use the pastry brush to help spread the flour into the
grooves.

I spray it on with Pam or some generic equivalent, toss in a tbsp or
so of flour, and turn the pan, while holding it over the sink, to get
the flour into the grooves. One less thing to wash. No need to tip
the oil jug at all.

Today I baked 6 loaves of bread ( 4 of Carol Field's cocodrillo and 2
rye from "Bread Alone"), put up 2 quarts of strawberry jam and made2
batches of chocolate chip cookies. The kitchen needs a good cleaning,
but I am happy. Anything that saves a step or the cleaning of an
implement here and there is always a godsend.

I always open the dishwasher up and put the pan on the door....then
spray. Don't have that mess to clean up from overspray.

Excellent tip. I grew up in a house without a dishwasher so I'd never
thought of this. Now that I have my own place (and a dishwater) I'll have
to start doing this.

When baking a chocolate cake, I dust the pan with cocoa.

When getting ready to frost a layer, I turn it upside down so I have a
perfectly flat "top". Makes for a nicer presentation.

When baking brownies, I dust the buttered pan with sugar, but cocoa sounds

If you want a little extra chocolate in your cake, instead of flouring the
pan, sprinkle cocoa.
I also use a clean pastry brush to brush off the flour all over my
KitchenAid mixer stand, which invariable is covered with flour -- easier and
less work than washing it off.
Also, soak any bowl you've mixed flour in in cold water instead of hot
water -- it will come out easier.

pan, sprinkle cocoa.
I also use a clean pastry brush to brush off the flour all over my
KitchenAid mixer stand, which invariable is covered with flour -- easier and
less work than washing it off.
Also, soak any bowl you've mixed flour in in cold water instead of hot
water -- it will come out easier.

I spray it on with Pam or some generic equivalent, toss in a tbsp or
so of flour, and turn the pan, while holding it over the sink, to get
the flour into the grooves. One less thing to wash. No need to tip
the oil jug at all.

Today I baked 6 loaves of bread ( 4 of Carol Field's cocodrillo and 2
rye from "Bread Alone"), put up 2 quarts of strawberry jam and made2
batches of chocolate chip cookies. The kitchen needs a good cleaning,
but I am happy. Anything that saves a step or the cleaning of an
implement here and there is always a godsend.

A lot of baking recipes call for greasing and flouring the pan. When
I'm making a bundt cake, or using any kind of a pan with
grooves/fluting, I use a pastry brush to grease the pan. The pastry
brush makes it easier to get the shortening into all the grooves in
the pan. I also use the pastry brush to help spread the flour into the
grooves.
