Oops, i've already iced the cake so doubt I can freeze it now! I don't think I have any room in the freezer anyway...I may be forced to just eat it all

Yes I do dry them on a drainer but it is clean as is the draining board underneath (i'm a bit obsessed with clean kitchens!) I suppose i'll just have to get into the habit of drying things after i've done the washing up if it doesn't stop.

Thanks for the suggestions though

Is it ok to put my pan rests and burners from my gas range cooker in the dishwasher?

I dont know why but i seem to have it in my head that i should not ????

Thanks Angel

I put my pan rests in with no problems and also the oven & grill shelves. They are vitrious (sp?) enamel. I put the magnetic burners in though and they rusted underneath & I ended up scrubbing for ages with a brillo - grrrr! HTH

maybe its the burners i was told about then just thought it meant everything?


though i accedently knocked a hot burner into the washing up bowl and ruined it, it spit and bubbled and now has poc marks on it

I've done that too it's so annoying! When I was first married I spent nearly a year with burns on my arms from getting stuff out of the oven with my arms too high lol!

I want to make the jamaican ginger cake here:

Usually I use half wholemeal/half white but I'm out of regular white cake flour and only have self raising flour. Could I still use this? I'm concerned because the recipe does not call for baking powder - only bicarbonate of soda. I think if I make 100% wholemeal everyone will probably complain.

As far as i know, the only difference between self raising flour and plain flour, is SR flour has a small amount of salt and baking powder added.

Myself, when i make fairy cakes, i use SR flour, and baking powder combined and never had a problem

Also , the carrot cake i make uses SR flour and Bicarb of soda - and it is perfect!

There is always a slight chance it could go wrong, but i would risk it! Good luck!

Let me know how you get on, that recipe looks yummmy!
