I would try citric acid because the smell of vinegar is not pleasant, and it is more economical. Vinegar doesn't do half the tasks ascribed to it. My mother used to make home cheese with spoiled milk. But these days milk doesn't spoil prematurely anymore. It definitely needs salt. We can buy "quark" that is plain, and you can mix it with dill, salt and cream or whtever you want. Maybe use in baking without the salt. Do you have to use a new cheesecloth for tasks like these or can you wash it?

Basically if you're getting a bare block don't be in a big hurry to have everything set up, just do it bit-by-bit as you can afford it, and remember it's a lifestyle which means especially if you're working during the week you can fully expect your weekends to be swallowed up by work around the place that needs doing!

It would be good if it were that simple wouldn't it! Simply, it's different for everyone, as every household uses their power differently, different number of people, heating methods, insulation, cooking methods ... the answer as to who's cheapest is literally different for everyone (who's cheapest for your neighbour won't be the same for you), hence why the comparison sites are the best option. 👍 For us it's Powershop at the moment, but I do an annual check as that can change, and for some people they're not the cheapest - go figure!

This was a few years ago now, but although we didn't really notice anything it was bound to have added some moisture to the room by boiling it on the fireplace (we've only actually done this once or twice as salt isn't really a great expense for us!). I guess the only way to avoid that would be keeping windows open, or heating it outside on the BBQ or similar but that would cost a fortune in gas! It didn't have any effect on the pot, but I imagine if we were doing it all the time it potentially would ... just a fun experiment really 🙂

Would you believe that this makes an excellent breakfast dish? It really is good. I like your idea of adding a little green capsicum, I guess it hits some of the same flavours as green chilli, without the burn. My trick: Just before serving, heat up a tablespoon of oil or ghee in a little pan, add some spices such as mustard seeds, curry leaves, cumin seeds etc, get it good and hot, then pour it over the final serving dish. Apparently the technique is known as "chhonk", "tadka" or "tempering" in Indian cooking. I also do this step if I'm reheating leftovers, as it brings everything back to life.

Definitely make the full amount, as it makes splendid leftovers if left in the fridge. The flavours even develop a little. If reheating, the dahl has a tendency to "solidify" (similar to porridge left in the fridge). In that case, add a little boiling water to thin it out back to the consistency you prefer.

What is the function of sugar in the recipe? Does it have preservation qualities? Beet and sugar don't really mix in my mind. Now you have to drink or otherwise use the marinade. I really like commercial beet root. But it is a bit pricey for what it is. The color is stable, and can't be gotten rid of unlike berries. I don't think there is any point in heating the jars and running the oven. I see every canner on video do it. Maybe American mason jars need it, but these don't. You're putting cold beet slices into them, causing a light shock, and they cool down in hands.
@CheaperWaysNZ15 күн бұрын
It's perfectly fine to omit the sugar, but basically it cancels out the bitter taste of the vinegar so it's more a flavour balance thing. Generally if you check the ingredients (at least as far as I've seen), all the commercial canned beetroot includes sugar in the mix. Heating the jars is so they don't break when you add boiling liquid to them, they don't cool down very much in the time you put the beetroot in them, but there's also a boiling method to heating the jars too which I've used for apples but never tried for beetroot, so that's another option.

Have you done the calculation for the entire cost of baked bread? I'm skeptical that flour and milk powder are more cost effective. How much is fresh milk on the farmers' market? Here it is 0.80 to 1.00 euros (1.4-1.8 NZD). I've an old bias against ovens because I was raised in a home with propane gas. Turning on a 1 kW electric oven required all lights and TV to be off. Tomato is most cost effective in paste form. Milk and wheat groats make quick porridge without the manual labor of bread dough. Shops get away with paying way less for electricity for baking and reducing. They don't do "specials". I think people would just wait until the meat goes for sale, and don't buy any meat at other times. Who would even think of throwing out leftovers or end pieces of bread. The end pieces can take harder spreading without falling apart. They don't harden as much if kept in a plastic bag.
@CheaperWaysNZ16 күн бұрын
So with ingredients here a simple loaf of bread costs $1.03 to make ingredient-wise, add another 60 cents for cooking in the oven. The very cheapest bread we can buy is $1.30, which is slightly cheaper but it's not very good bread at all ... to buy a decent loaf is more in the $3-$4 range at the moment, so for us it's cheaper to make it. With milk, it costs $11.30 for enough powder to make 10 litres, so $1.13 per litre. At the moment the cheapest to buy in a bottle is $1.90 per litre. It's amazing how many people do throw leftovers and bread ends out, but I think these days as costs are rising everyone's looking for way of using things instead of throwing them out!

You could certainly try, but I think the texture would be a bit more grainy. This is certainly one of those recipes you'd probably make so you know what's going into it, rather than it being cheaper to make as unless you have a dehydrator you do need to run your oven on low for a long time, so could indeed be cheaper to just buy them!
