Random Thoughts

I just wanted to share a couple of my favorite things somewhat related to baking.

Grease your cookie sheet no more!!
I heart parchment paper! Nothing sticks to your baking sheets, cleaning them up is so much easier and you don't have to grease the baking sheets. Be careful not to mistake wax paper for parchment - wax paper will burn if you bake it. Wax paper can be used later for storage and packing but NOT baking.


Achy feet/back when baking?
Have you ever noticed how painful it gets standing for long periods of time while baking? The HR/Safety Manager in me just wants to remind you to work as ergonomically correct as you can or improvise. At the hotel, we provided gel mats for our pastry people to reduce leg, back, feet problems so I was suprised to find a gel mat at my friend Gail's kitchen. I don't have one, so today I slipped on my Reebok Runtones, and my legs and back didn't suffer since I usually bake barefoot. What a difference! I'm hoping it was tightening my tushie too!
