I'm thinking of buying one for my holiday home, but have trouble with the cooker there as its all electric, and I am not confident cooking on the electric, it seems harder to control to me. So my questions are: Do they work as well on electric? Is…

Cake tins - do you grease/use greaseproof paper?
I think this might be a bit of a daft question! I always either grease or use greaseproof paper in my cake tins. I've treated myself to a new cake tin this week and carefully selected a beautiful Judge non stick loose bottomed tin, I've just come to use it and as usual I've greased it. Do I still need to grease/line the…

'Healthy' Sainsbury's Greek-style yoghurt is nasty
So, Sainsbury's have 'improved' their Greek-style yoghurt and made it more healthy by reducing the fat content! (i.e. they can now use more of the fat content to make butter and we get less value for the money). It is now watery and very 'meh' compared to how delicious it was until recently. I don't hold with reduced…
