Random DIY mixing and More

I discovered something new about concentrated nic last night.

I don't normally worry about 100mg nic. Just do what I have to do, keep it away from my eyes, then wash my hands when I'm finished. Yesterday I had a small graze on my thumb, from using a cheese grater. I got some nic on the grazed area and it fired up a really sharp burning pain there. Even washing it didn't help much. Faded away after a while. Guess the answer is to use a plaster on any breaks in the skin.

Morning, mixers.

Still sunny and warm, still random showers coming tonight and tomorrow AM.

Thanks, gloop.:) The birthday girl will be cooking us dinner today. It's her fault for being an excellant cook.

So, her present will be that she doesn't have to clean up? :)

Ours is a lower end GE electric. It goes up to 550°F.
I do use baking tiles which are the same material as most pizza stones.
View attachment 1028428I have a couple of stones as well but can make a little bit bigger pizza with the tiles.
I set it to 510° for yesterday's bake and the bottoms came out well,

I didn't time the bakes because this oven takes longer to achieve similar results to the old one. (not just with pizza)
My early tries had trouble getting a good brown on the bottom so I gave up timing them and just go by visual progress.

I have been having better results with all my baking more recently so maybe the heating elements needed to break in - not sure if that is a thing but it's all I can come up with.
Looking good.:)

What kind do you have? We have a Samsung double oven and it won’t crisp a pizza crust to save its life.
