Eye Of Sauron Salted Caramel Cheesecake
Final score:
81points
LokisLilButterknife 2 years ago
Perfect for when your hosting a Lord of the Rings movie marathon. One cake to rule them all!
Cassi Lyris 2 years ago
It still probably tasted great. Next time mix one packet of plain gelatin per pound of cream cheese before baking. It really helps prevent splitting and results in a nice smooth texture. Just, y'know, mix it really well.

The trick to a non-cracked cheesecake is taking it out of the oven when you're ready to turn the heat off, running a knife around the outter edge, and then putting it back in the oven to set for 90 minutes for a slow cool down like you'd normally do. The reason it cracks is because when it contracts when cooling, it pulls on itself and if it's stuck to the side, it'll crack.

I'd still eat it. Dangle caramel cheesecake in front of me, and I won't care if it looks like dog doo.

I wonder if you still could've scraped the skin off and eaten the guts. Maybe "guts" isn't the right word. Potato...meat?

Keep them for Christmas & offer them to neighbours with naughty kids, LOL. They’ll never know the difference between coal & these overly-charred potatoes! 😂

Oh no... You didn't smell the difference? I mean, they're both very fragrant and dissimilar. Well, my sister once made a pan of cumin rolls so I guess it's more common than I realized.
LuLuBelle 2 years ago
I don't have a particularly good sense of smell, so I have to double check that I'm using the right one. And I still occasionally get it wrong.

Had a friend accidently use cinnamon instead of chili powder to make a huge pot of chili. This is why you don't brag about your cooking and drink and then try to cook 😄
Marcellus II 2 years ago
If you're using all brown-ish spices interchangably, you're having an interesting set of dinners. Now mixing up between flat leaf parsley and cilantro/coriander I understand --- but again while cutting you totally smell the mistake.

Too much butter/lard/oil and needs a bit more chilling before the bake. I bet it cut apart into flat bars just fine.

Luckily this was the first of many batches, so I was able to adjust and chill the dough properly!

Baking With Celiac Can Be Fun. Gluten Free Doughnuts Before Frying. Delicious Anyway
Final score:

Cassi Lyris 2 years ago
The taste is what's most important. It looks like you managed to get a decent rise, which is hard without gluten.
Stephanie da Silva 2 years ago
For gf donuts, you need gf donut pans. They look like mini bundt cake pans in muffin pan format.
Tiffany R 2 years ago
"Gluten free" isn't gluten free, but wheat-free. Wheat has a good amount of gluten, while oat, rice, buckwheat etc don't have the same gluten nor the same amount of gluten. Try using glutinous rice, making a dough-mochi mix to get something that's more solid structure.
EL 2 years ago
Gluten isn't only found in wheat, but in barley and rye too. So a recipe can be wheat free but not necessarily gluten free. There are also derivatives of wheat that contain gluten but are not necessarily classed as wheat (from an ingredient stand point) such as spelt. So therefore, gluten free means gluten free.

Made this to celebrate the 11th year of my mom being free from my dad. I'm not the best at frosting and decorating cakes, but it tasted good. I think the original cake recipe called for 9 inch pans, but I used 8 inch, not realizing. Oh well, you live, you learn

I've never heard of green walnut jam, but it looks like this needed a bit more time to cook off the water. I'm sure it'll be better next time.

Probably overmixed. Quick breads like banana bread need to be barely mixed together like pancake batter.

I accidentally put in taco seasoning instead of cinnamon into an apple crisp. It was for my dad's birthday and we couldn't remake it for another month or so. My sister once accidentally put in a cup of salt instead of a teaspoon in sugar cookies. No amount of extra sugar could make them edible.

Scrolling Panda 2 years ago
Learned to always label containers because, although I can *usually* keep track of everything in my kitchen, there comes a point where my brain hits critical mass and I mistake the powdered sugar for flour...that was the hardest batch of cinnamon rolls I ever tried to roll out. They just WOULD NOT cooperate. It wasn't til I put them in the oven and watched them melt that I realized that it was sugar I was working by hand, and not flour. Stress from over work does wild things to the brain. Hella proud I was able to force them into submission and get a good roll before they went into the oven tho.

I marinated shrimp in white wine vs. deglazing the pan with it. It wasn't edible and kinda turned me against cooking shrimp. I've learned what it means to deglaze a pan in the 20 years since... Beer, wine, garlic soy, meat or veggie broth. I'm going to make some gumbo with shrimp and sausage next week. I'm hoping to redeem myself ;)

I have never used written directions for a poke cake. I just make a 9x13 pan cake, let it cool, poke holes all over the top going down to the bottom of the pan for most of them,. Then slowly pouring in liquid jello or sweetened condensed milk, taking breaks to let it soak in and then chilling it overnight. Were your directions different?
