Eh, these are outside the cupcake liner, so it shouldn’t integrate itself with the edible part. I’m guessing you just brush ‘em off the liner.

I am disappointed there isn’t a follow on for cake batter-flavored rice pudding.

Since the cove cut isn’t considered “unsafe,” I’m not sure this is unsafe per se, since it is basically the same thing. But—like a cove cut—this will require raising the blade in very small increments. Since the blade is cutting out, effectively, a quarter circle rather than just a 1/8” wide standard kerf cut, you…

To cut a circle, you basically just need a rotation point. Tables on bandsaws aren’t typically huge, but it wouldn’t be much of an issue to mount a pivot on an external table and clamp it to the bandsaw table. You’ll need to either make relief cuts or build your turntable so it is adjustable to get closer to the line…

I tend to vacuum seal a lot of meals and put them in the deep freezer, so this doesn’t come up that often—I can always defrost some homemade soup, some braised/stewed meat dish, or some smoked (but not yet pulled) pork. That said, if I want something fast and can’t even be bothered to walk to the basement, fried…

Something I remember from driving classes 35 years ago—driving barefoot in my state is not a violation of state law. However, any number of the beach communities in the state had specific ordinances against it that could get you a ticket within their jurisdictional limits.

Seems like a riff on a cove cut. But since cove cuts scare the #$%#$ out of me, doubt I’ll be doing this. I can hack up a jig to cut circles on my bandsaw, which is designed to cut curves, just as easily.

From their care and use page: “The black phenolic lid knobs on our Signature range of enameled cast iron are heat-resistant to 480°F / 250°C.” The “Classic” knobs are only good to 375F, however. Still, since I mostly braise in mine, I don’t know that I ever exceed 350F anyway.

Phenolic, not plastic.

Interesting timing, since this just popped up in my RSS feed:

No. My grill will reach temperatures in excess of 500F, and this isn’t a problem. Since the oil won’t ignite, it means a paper towel impregnated with oil isn’t going to burn either. I do this every time I grill—heat it up, wire brush, and rub grill with a paper towel with some peanut oil soaked into it.

I like a well organized garage, but I have to laugh at all the “organized” garages I see. My garage houses 2 road bikes, 2 mountain bikes, 2 kid bikes, camping gear, climbing gear (rock, ice, aid), caving gear, sleds, auto tools, a milling machine, a metal lathe, tooling, a TCT saw, a welding table, oxy-acetylene…

Installing slatwall is a simple DIY job. No need to pay for pro’s. Epoxy flooring is a little more challenging, but is also highly DIYable.

If you are going install a fold down workbench, I would recommend this one, also shown on LH, which has a much, much more sturdy and well-engineered design:

I’d much rather have Adam Savage’s shop. This is interesting from an organizational perspective, but just contributes to my view he’s totally OCD.

I’m going to go ahead and suggest taking the longer view. In my household I cook and I clean the dishes. My wife does the laundry and spends a lot more time parenting while I’m off at my job. If you obsess over equalizing each and every chore, I’m going to suggest you are missing the bigger picture.

Is it national pickle juice day? I ask because this popped up in my RSS feed earlier: http://food52.com/blog/13043-the…

How does the top chart correlate with the lower chart? Air Canada is ranked #1 in the top chart with the lead, but is #3 (after a two way tie for 1st) in the lower chart. I say this because I absolutely $*%&^! hate Air Canada.

I would worry a bit about a soundproofing scheme that makes the whole wall into a single vibrating object. If you are building from scratch, you should consider alternating offset studs that are not coupled together—sheetrock for one room is screwed to one set of studs, sheetrock for the other room is screwed to a…

There are some things I do with a waffle iron—like hash browns from normal potatoes—where you need to exert some pressure to close the iron and most of the prior recommendations look like they’d just break. This one is awesome and I like that you can park it vertically, so that when you are doing something like hash…
