walkitoutI’ve been making mug cakes for a minute, and the general idea there is stupidly simple and reliable. I have not, however, attempted to branch out from that, even tho I distinctly remember seeing entire cookbooks devoted to how you could cook any damn thing in the microwave. So I’m like, what is the intersection of sourdough and microwaves, anyway? Basically, I’m continuing to run the combinations of everything I already have.
I poked around to see what other people are doing in this space, and it is quite interesting! Hanging onto the steam coming off the baked item and/or cooking with steam along with the microwaves appears to be the dominant theme. I had planned on using custard cups lined with baking cups, since my english muffin rings are metal, but then it occurred to me that I actually own silicone muffin “tins”. I also own a collapsible silicone container with the steamer button/knob on the top (push in to seal, pull out to let steam escape). I’ll keep poking at this and maybe do some experiments later today or tomorrow.
Also, the Bosch sifter attachment is now broadly available, including at Pleasant Hill Grain. They emailed me a $30 gift card when I bought the Universal Plus. I can’t find the 40 mesh replacement screen for the Bosch sifter at Pleasant Hill — in fact, I’ve _only_ been able to find it at Magic Mill / Royalux, which I am honestly just not sure about. However, because the 40 mesh part is comparatively cheap (a little over $22 including shipping), and the sifter attachment is relatively expensive $99, unknown shipping, less a $30 gift card amount if I buy it at Pleasant Hill). Since I don’t think the sifter is useful without the 40 mesh screen option, I’ve ordered the 40 mesh from Magic Mill and am going to wait and see if it ever shows up. Fingers crossed.
