The Preheated hosts reunite behind their microphones for the first time since October 2020, and there’s a lot to catch up on! Stefin’s still in London, cooking (with gas) in a new kitchen in between homework assignments for her master’s degree in creative writing. In Olympia, Andrea is working full-time as a recruiter and taking […]
Andrea’s lack of detailed recipe reading resulted in a rare Midwest Made mishap while whipping up an Italian Loaf. The instructions called for a 30 minute first rise, followed by a three hour second rise (in the refrigerator!) and then a 20 minute rest before baking. Sadly, Andrea missed the refrigerator instruction, and after rising […]
Stefin’s fresh off a “Perfect Pavlova” Zoom class with chef Skye McAlpine, author of A Table in Venice and A Table for Friends, recently released on July 9. Interested in making this marvelous meringue? You may want to try this recipe from Nigella, and consider making pavlova when you’re looking for a gluten-free treat. Andrea […]
In honor of the US’s National Ice Cream Month of July, the hosts kick off their Chilled Out month with reminders of favorite ice creams from past seasons, including Roasted Strawberry Buttermilk; Sugar Free Chocolate; Dairy Free, GF Spicy Peanut Butter; Classic Chocolate (with Rocky Road mix ins); and Tahini Chocolate Banana Soft Serve; plus, […]
Andrea’s trying her hand at the tangzhong method of bread making with King Arthur’s version of Japanese Milk Bread Rolls. After a quick call to the KAF Baker’s Hotline (which she loves to do), Andrea reports these light and fluffy rolls reminded her of Parker House rolls, and were quickly devoured in her house. Review: […]
Is National Muffin Day on your baking radar? Thanks to Listener Jesse, it’s on ours! Mark Sunday, March 1 on your calendars, and let us know if you become a “muffinteer” in your neighborhood. But before you whip up a batch or two, heed Stefin’s hard-earned wisdom and fill all your muffin cups before you […]
Andrea starts the show by answering Listener Carol’s voicemail question about making big-batch pie crusts. She makes multiple batches of Mary Beth’s Reliable Pie Crust in her 14-cup Cuisinart, then wraps each crust in plastic wrap, pops them in a plastic bag, and freezes. When she’s planning to bake a pie, she removes a crust […]
Yearning for an update on Costa Coffee’s “limited-edition” Biscoff Muffin from Episode 147? Stefin’s on the case. While she enjoyed the lightly spiced muffin with the promised core of cookie butter, she was disappointed that the muffin did not come with the much-hyped Biscoff cookie on top. Stay tuned to see if the Preheated gals […]
Back in May 2019 the hosts had fun with “Made it Myself” month, when they recreated all sorts of grocery store favorites like Oreos and Pop Tarts. But what if your grocery shelf favorite is completely gone? Andrea’s husband had fond memories of the Carnation Breakfast Bar he had as a kid, and it turns […]
