Gloria,
What a great, informative post! I really enjoyed your comments. I by no
means have your experience, but have also used weight as the most reliable
(and fast) way of measuring baking ingredients. Last month's issue of Cook's
Illustrated rated different electronic scales. I use one purchased from King
Arthur, and while it didn't get especially high ratings from CI, it still
does a fine job. It has a tare function that permits me to zero out the
scale between additions, and it also can measure by grams, which I find handy
when weighing my parrot, LOL.
I also gave up using my Kitchen Aid mixer in bread recipes, although I like
it fine for other projects. I still have not tried assembling baked goods
using a Cuisinart. Would you be willing to post something along those lines?
Thanks again for your post. I enjoyed it greatly.
