Hey, I think this is on-topic. My mom has a problem baking cookies without burning the bottoms. I think it is because she uses margarine instead of shortening, but she won't listen to me. Soooo, would a couple of
Silpat baking mats be a good gift for her? Would they help with the burning bottoms?
The big challenge at Christmas is buying things for my Dad. He doesn't buy a lot of things, but if he wants something, he just buys it. New computer? Done. 72-inch TV, Done. Every four years, he goes to the Audi dealer, picks out a car, and writes a check. Nobody in my family knows what to get him for Christmas.
I bought him an
Anova Sous Vide circulator two years ago, not knowing whether he would ever use it. But, he has used it many times. He loves it. He just raves about how tender and juicy meats are cooked sous vide. The man I once knew as
"The Grim Reaper of grilled meats" can now cook a good steak.
