Morning everyone, you move house without me

Can I start the day with a cooking question?

I am making quiche or at least vegetable flan. I've got some small indivual round tins and the normal round ones.
Does everyone blind bake the pastry first? Or does it only really matter if you are using a thick ceramic flan dish.
I've got go baking beans, don't even think I've got grease proof so what else can I use? Or can I just !!!!! the bases and pop them in the oven for a few mins to start them off?

Also my recipe needs 50g of breadcrumbs. I've never used these before in a flan so what are these before? I've got them ready anyway, looks a huge bowfull.

I've got youngest son home for a few days. At his house he now has a vegetarian/vegan and that has re kindled his love of cooking. So he has been experimenting with cous cous and bought himself a vast quantity from ebay.
He has also got some flan tins but he got soggy bottoms so we are doing flans today to see if we can cure the soggy bottom problem.

I've got the pastry done and sitting in the fridge ready for him to roll out and the onions fried and ready.

I've a
So got pancake mix ready for breakfast and the builder has arrived.
Such fun

I always blind bake the case first.
Just don't do what I did last week after the blind baking stage, I forgot to remove the greaseproof paper ( I use between the case and the dish) from under the case and it ended up stuck to the bottom of my flan and my flan then had a soggy bottom :mad:
Also I don't even own baking beans I use long grain rice and then sling it back in the jar when it's cooled back down again

Be careful if you want to use in a garage as that one seems to have a minimum temp of 16C. Check the company website as we came along these crazy high operating temps on loads of fridge/freezers - sometimes if you go to company website & look up model you'll find store has put wrong specifications on.

Have a look here as there are LOTS of different ones, some around same price.

How strange, I checked the one I had posted about and sure enough it said, not suitable for use in garage, but they are advertising the same model but slightly more expensive, as it includes express delivery and on that product details, it says suitable for use in garage!!

Where did you get it from please? And are there any codes around .................

I think my head is going to burst, and if our freezer goes wrong and I have to decide quickly I think I will go into meltdown. I thought when the kids moved out I would be able to get by with a smaller freezer, but with the fruit out of the garden, the chestnuts from last year, and whoopsies and the suchlike, I suspect I might accidentally buy a bigger one !

I've had mine about 3 years now, I'll have a look for receipt as can't remember who it was from. Didn't have a code back then for it

We found exactly the same on many fridge freezers. That's why I said to go to manufacturers website. I ended up ringing some too as specifications SO different on many sites. Our kitchen we don't often heat - a little bit of warm air gets through but often under 16C in winter. Some really are not designed to work under 16C!:eek:
