    I’ve found the key to whipped cream is making sure your cream is really cold, as well as the bowl and the whisk attachment. Sometimes I add my cream to the bowl and put it in the fridge for a little while to chill and then start mixing it up. Then I add a tablespoon or so of powdered sugar and bit of vanilla and start mixing… always turns out great. Thanks for the yummy crockpot ideas Mindy!

    Years ago Rachael Ray said she’d take the leftover chipotle in adobo, blend up the peppers & sauce, pour into a ziploc baggie. Lightly score as it freezes into tsp or tbsp portions. Break off as needed. Works like a charm. Sometimes I’ll substitute an ice tray for the baggie.

    We moved into a new house this year and I can’t even begin to describe the amount of heat my gas oven and stove put out. It’s always 10 degrees warmer in the kitchen when they’re on. Good for the winter, not great in the summer. I’m LOVING the crock pot/instant pot/chilled meals for the summer. Keep ‘em comin!

    I make whip cream all the time, the trick is to start slow and gradually increase your speed. You have to watch for when peaks start to form, and hold shape when you pull your beaters out. I also use Dr Oetker Whip It as a whipping cream stabilizer. If you beat your heavy cream too fast, you’ll end up with butter.

  • @krisqueen5939
    @krisqueen5939 Год назад +1

    Whipped cream, chill well the bowl, beater and whiping cream. Also it looks like you do not have much whipping cream in the bowl of your stand mixer so use a smaller bowl and hand mixer so the cream hits the whisks higher. That should make it no fail whipping cream for you.

      😂 Totally laughing while watching you with your food processor. Been there, done that so many times. Once I even sent my husband to Kohls to buy me a smaller version of my Kitchen Aid food processor because I absolutely had to process many, many lbs of tomatoes that day. Well, come to find out, the reason my large Kitchen Aid wasn't working was because I didn't lock a piece in. 😂 Luckily, my oldest daughter was thrilled with the smaller food processor.

  • @valerieh8526
    @valerieh8526 Год назад

    Mindy, I like to blend up the chipotle peppers in the sauce and measure out by the tablespoon anytime they’re called for in recipes. Almost always the pepper needs to be chopped anyhow, so the blend/purée step at the get-go makes them easier to use. I store the purée in the fridge; it lasts quite a while. I’m also a contact wearer and have made the eye-touching mistake, so this helps me circumvent the need to handle the peppers. 😁

    The best way to have foolproof whipped cream... buying your own whipped cream dispenser. I love it, because you also can flavor it and sweeten as you wish. I often just flavor it with vanilla and call it a day. It is great for coffee drinks or to fancy up jello, not to mention to add to berries for a simple dessert. We always have it in the fridge :)

    Potentially controversial opinion here: you did not need to use the food processor to make that cheesecake. The recipe did you dirty. Food processor may make it easier, but you could crush the Oreos with a rolling pin. It wouldn’t be as fine as a crumb, but as long as you didn’t have big chunks, it should be fine. And the cheesecake filling mixture could be blended together with a hand mixer. I don’t know if you want to make that recipe again since you aren’t the biggest fan, but I think you could skip using your food processor if you wanted to try it again.

      I linked it in the description box on Amazon but looks like they’re almost out of stock.
