http://www.barricksinsurance.com/KitchenOilFire1.wmv

Here is a very short film (33 seconds) about how to put out a grease
fire. It demonstrates a simple, quick and safe way of handling a pan
on fire.

Bottom line, *never* throw water on a grease fire.

What happens: water, being heavier than oil, sinks to the bottom
where it instantly becomes superheated. The explosive force of the
steam blows the burning oil up and out. Inside the confines of a
kitchen, a fireball hits the ceiling and fills the entire room.

Also, do not throw sugar, flour or baking soda on a grease fire. One
cup creates the explosive force of two sticks of dynamite. (Any
powder thrown on a grease fire may actually create an explosion.)

Teach your children fire safety.

Olive - Yeah, I definitely don't consider Rice Dream safe. I am too sensitive to take that kind of risk. My rule: If it has barley, wheat, rye, potentially contaminated oats (etc), or any derivative thereof.... I stay far, far away :)

For those fellow celiacs out there a precaution, if you are particularly sensitive, I found this at the Rice dream site:

Rice Dream Beverage is not gluten free. It is made primarily from rice; it contains no whole wheat or barley ingredients, however our patented enzyme process utilizes barley enzymes to convert the complex carbohydrates in brown rice to naturally occurring sugars. It is this process that gives Rice Dream Beverages their sweet flavor without the need for added sweeteners.

The actual grains used to grow the enzymes are discarded after the enzymes are extracted. The barley protein found in the final Rice Dream Beverage product occurs in parts per million amounts (less than 5 mg barley per 8 oz serving).

The recipe looks tasty! I have found that using coconut milk makes for a good dairy free addition to my gluten free challah. It gives it a richer flavor and a better texture, but it doesn’t taste like coconut.

I do use one of those Kaiser braid pans and you are right about it looking different. I have taken to oiling the pan, and then sprinkling sesame seeds in before I put the batter in. Once you turn it out it looks pretty good.

Thanks for sharing!

ibenjamin816

Offline

I vaguely recall someone posting about this ages ago but in case
anyone missed it, there was a thread on another Jewish cooking list
about braided challah pans for people who want the braided look
without actually braiding their challah. This is the pan people were
talking about:

http://www.amazon.com/Kaiser-Bakeware-Laforme-Braided-Loaf/dp/B00006JSTX/ref=sr_\
1_2/105-6140755-5748460?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1192468114&sr=8-2

I am considering buying it, though concerned about the fact that since
the "top" is actually the bottom, when you invert it the challah seems
like it wouldn't sit flat on the breadboard since its "bottom" would
be curved from rising in the oven.

Anyway, it's an option for people whose favorite GF challah recipe
isn't braidable and still want the look.

Are you looking only for brands where EVERYTHING they make is gluten-free and kosher, or brands that make some products that are both? Just GF specialties or also foods that just happen to be GF? The list is endless... More specifics would be helpful. Thanks!

Hi Gang,

I am a allergy newbie and a new member. I don't have food allergies, so
I might not be that helpful to others. I did want to recommend a
product that I tried a few weeks ago. This natural supplement really
helped the itchiness and irritation I felt in my body.  Might help with
food stuff, don't know.  Here's the information:

I just got e-mails back from all three of the places that sell Expandex saying that it's not kosher because they repackage it. So I'm not sure how to find hekshered Expandex (I believe the original product IS certified, by OK) in a consumer sized package. I've e-mailed the company and will let you all know if/when I hear back.

Thanks for the info, Brenda-Lee!

The difference between tapioca and manioc is that chebe uses a true flour as opposed to a refined starch. It contains the natural proteins which a refined starch does not. In Brazil one can purchase many different kinds of manioc from meal to flakes to flour to starch. That's what makes chebe mixes work differently from standard north american fare.

We are trying the expandex tapioca in some of the Ms. Roben's mixes to see how it works too, and are seeing some good test results, especially for cakes, but I haven't had word yet about how it works in our breads.

Thank you for contacting us.  In April we moved our packaging from a third

on our packages.  We may go back to this in the future, but currently our

I am the same way :)

You asked;

"Is the rule against spicy food between Rosh Hashanah and Simchas Torah a hard and fast one, or just a local custom that I can choose to discard?"

I don't know - I don't think it's hard and fast, I think it's like most of the other food customs, which are minhagim that you follow only if your family and community does. I've never heard of people taking it as seriously as gebrokts, because gebrokts is an interpretation of halacha or a fence around a mitzvah I think - Whereas I don't believe that the spicy food thing is. But I could DEFINITELY be wrong. I'm sure that as with any other minhag there are people who swear it's hard and fast law :)

For better or worse, I'm cooking for a bunch of religiously liberal Jews this year (my parents' friends), who mostly just care that there is plenty of honey and apples in the food I make.
