I want to make a cake for someone with an egg allergy. Does anyone here have a tried & tested egg-less cake recipe by any chance? I'm fine with making a frosting for the middle so looking for any kind of sponge really.
The only thing I can suggest is to replace the egg with whipped aquafaba to make the sponge.
Or apple sauce, whichever is easier to find. 😂
I'm sure a tin of chickpeas isn't too hard to find, it's just the water they're kept in. Mind you, just ensure you're not buying a garlic or a tomato version... it would make for a very "creative" version of a cake... :D
:pac:
Lol. I wonder how that would come out? I use detergent on my cast iron pans, all the time and it doesn't take the seasoning off.
Some nice BBQ stuff in Lidl this morning……racks, holders utensils etc etc. Picked up a rectangular/ square folding rack thingy for fish veg and the likes. Well made.
Never mind that, someone used the old school :pac: and it didn't work.
Bring back the pac!
It's another one of the Vanilla downsides. 😔
I have a touch of rheumatoid arthritis so thought I’d have a listen to this. Wasn’t expecting bbq food as a cause. 😳

Do you reckon Easy Singles kept in the fridge actually have a use-by date? I mean, I realise there's one on the pack - it's rubbed off - but an actual date where they go bad?
I have a pack in my fridge that I kept after a Scout camp back in 2020 (long story, suffice to say I'm keeping them to throw at someone in a few years). I was making burgers at the weekend and was tempted to just use one. I didn't in the end but still. They look and smell fine.
What do people reckon?
You know the rules, If in doubt, chuck it out.
Food advice is not allowed here but as plastic cheese is probably not a food then go ahead. 😂😂😂
No seriously, if in doubt, chuck it out!
The only way to know for sure is to leave one on the counter and do the Poltergeist test.
(Anyway, does melted plastic have an expiry date?)
Ah I wasn't really looking for serious advice, given it's plasticky shite. More curiousity than anything else.
I think I'll keep it. Another few years and it might be suitable for my purposes.
Like replace the seal around windows and bathtubs. :pac: Or you could leave the plasticky cover on, press them against the fridge door and use them as re-writeable post-its.
As a prop instead of plastic explosives?
How come, the food safety advice : "if in doubt, throw it out", is allowed?
Surely, if were not allowed to say, "it's grand, eat it", likewise, we shouldn't be allowed to say, "throw it out"?
They are both food advice. One encourages risky behaviour, the other encourages food waste. Some consistency on this rule would be nice!
"It's grand, eat it" could lead to people getting food poisoning following this advise. "If in doubt, throw it out" will not. It's really as simple as that. We don't want people in hospital or worse because of advise they received on this forum.
Have we not been here before? 🤪
Your burgers deserve better than Easi Singles 😀
I’ve found normal cheese slices just melt away to nothing.
Yes, and I thought that the conclusion was come to that no food safety advice should be given, either way. 😜
As it stands, some food safety advice is allowed, as long as it's a particular type of advice!
I regret nothing.
Yes, if in doubt, chuck it out. Thanks tbr, we’ll learn ya. 😎
... a random thought, as I am cooking pasta (chicken, serrano, tomato, spinach)
These days I prefer to use a mix of Mutti passata and fresh plum/vine tomatoes instead of canned. Seems nicer, and less of that bitter edge.
... the end.
Didn't have that problem with the Dunnes mature cheddar slices.
Rule of thumb for canned tomatoes is that they need about a scant teaspoon of sugar per can to offset the bitterness. Have you not been adding it?
Generally not, I like the tang, but I usually just simmer them for longer. Depends on the tomatoes I guess, and depends on what I am making, but Mutti passata is very good.
I would use canned when I don't have good fresh tomatoes.
Yeah, properly ripe, in-season fresh can't be beaten. But canned are yer only man in winter. I always buy whole ones and blitz them in the mini chopper, the quality compared to chopped is night and day.
Totally agree! I never buy chopped. They have that calcium chloride in them to keep the pieces from breaking down, which looks weird to me. Mini choppers are great things!
