Nothing wrong with leaving the cover slightly askew, I do it a lot. I've been using my induction cooktop for making tomato sauce and there's a setting a little too high and one a little too low, so I either put the lid on askew or use a silicone spatter shield instead of a lid, since it has multiple holes and still seems to hold in most of the heat.
October 12, 2024 at 8:55 am #44242Here is the answer about the scratches in the Crockpot that I received from my question to the manufacturer, Rival:
"We sincerely appreciate your continued support of our Crockpot. Your loyalty has been invaluable to us.
Our units are manufactured with FDA-approved coating which is a food grade. Hence, any scratch on them possesses no risk of chemical contamination.
I will advise that if this unit was recently purchased and delivered in such condition, please kindly return it to the retailer and exchange it.
Thank you for being a valued customer. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future."
I feel confident that I can use the lightly scratched crockpot. I'm also impressed that Rival continues to support crock pot users, even though they no longer sell crockpots.
October 12, 2024 at 2:47 pm #44244When I want to hold a lid slightly askew, I often make a little gap thingy out of aluminum foil. I make it so it's attached to the pot and then the lid sits on it. That way I don't have to be concerned about the lid sliding back on to cover the entire pot.
Glad about your good news concerning your Rival pot, BA. You never know, sometimes customer service is a zero and sometimes a ten. I use Bakewell baking powder and with my last purchase I noticed the sodium content listed on the label had changed from 4mg to 199mg per 1/4 tsp serving. So I wondered whether the formula had changed (the listed ingredients were the same) or if the 4mg claim had been wrong all along (the more likely scenario). One of the reasons I would buy Bakewell was the low sodium content even though it costs more than other brands. Anyway, I sent then an inquiry via the "contact us" form on their website. The next business day the owner of the company phoned me (got me out of bed, *grumble*)
and told me that he doesn't know where the 4mg claim came from. Originally that kind of info was not listed and when they started putting it on the container they found it somewhere in their records, but again he didn't know where it originated from and the formula had never been changed. He had it tested a couple of years ago and test came back showing 199mg. I was impressed that the owner of the company phoned me and that he was honest about it.October 13, 2024 at 1:28 pm #44256I'm impressed that the owner of the company called you, Len.
I buy the Bakewell baking powder because I discovered that I could use less in many of my recipes, sometimes 2 1/2 or 2 tsp. instead of 3 tsp.
As both baking powder and baking soda have sodium, I often cut back the salt in baked goods and do not notice a difference.
