Using the mincer for marmalade?
I'm just starting on my annual marmalade event for my parents, who eat a jar a week. This year I'm going to use the mincer for the peel. All the instructions I have seen say 'coarse'. I have an 8mm disc and a 12mm disc. Has anyone else had to choose?

Thank you, Valli, for last week's thread. What is FLYLADY? Well, it's our version of the US flylady idea - but we work on
the principle that housework is not fun, it's boring, can be time-consuming, is

Spice cupboard challenge
Welcome to this thread. Due to health reasons, I cook without butter, oil, salt, or sugar. I mean literally. 500ml of olive oil would last more than a year, we still have butter in the freezer that dates back to 2021, and we simply never buy neither sugar nor salt.

I now have three quarters of a…
