Don't remember this thread mentioned about this product. But in case anyone of you is using this on your kid, stop it! Quite a number of mummies in the Agu/Sep09 thread were/are using.

pixie, I am using sharp microwave cum convec oven. very convenient cos 2 in 1. but real bakers dislike using this type of oven.
kam, your hubby very smart, use 激将法。I always respond to that but my hubby doesn't use it on me for some strange reason.
kam, I am using the teething gel. dun know whether affected.

kitsune,
It's quite true for me. Cos when we lived overseas, there were nice, built-in, big oven at where we stayed. I said to him many times over the many years that I wanted to bake somethine, a cake, cookies, etc, but I did nothing
Have been reading some mums' blog and baking can be very fun for the children, so I wanna prepare for it.
I also used teething gel on my girl when she had it bad for about 2 weeks. It's prescribed by the PD, so I guess should be safe? HR never bothered at all by teething.

no problem to heat up kfc or pizza cos I usually preheat the oven then pop it in. if u buy canadian pizza or pizza hut they tell u the temperature to preheat it at. usually 200 deg I think. but then I also have a small toaster for small heat up n toast bread.

definitely cheaper. those tefal ones (or toyomi, delonghi, cornell etc) are just 100+ to 200+. purely baking.
u can differentiate it one lah. they look smallish and have ard 2-3 "timer" dials at the right hand side, which you turn and twist to control time, temperature etc. no fancy buttons for defrost, re-heat blah blah
strictly to bake...based on temperature & time

Wa chaye, your maid very hiong. mine also scratched my asd saucepan but that one quite some time already, not so heart pain.
I have supor, asd, tefal. I got a tefal non stick wok but dun like it cos it is flat at the bottom. I like the traditional round bottom ones cos easier to fry veg but very hard to find non stick type.

pixie,
Oh that's funny. She never used any kitchen towel leh at my place, hmmmm, different practices at different houses ya? She uses clothes.
These few weeks with my parents around, not only we are enjoying it, even the part time helper gets to enjoy it also. Cos we bring my parents and the kids out for dinner on Friday night. By the time we come home, she already left. So there is no one watching over her, she does or doesn't do things that she wants or doesn't want to do, and we don't even know when she's leaving. And my mum has nothing much to do, so my mum does most of the ironing already. Very good life leh, she is.

i dont want her to sleep in my study room coz my altar is inside. unless i move my altar to dining hall. then she can sleep in study room

pixie,
i set the rules in the first place but she will secretly eats them / drinks them until i question her, denied also or find excuses / act blur say "i thought can"...i think all depends on your helper you get....LUCK...today she gave me $$ to help her buy coke, don't dare to touch (for the time being) the coke in my fridge. Oh there's once she even told me the milk expired, which clearly hasn't lo..she finished it cos i bought only for 3 days, hubby didn't touch, i didn't touch, she don't dare to say my girl finished so she told me expired and she threw away.
LUCK LUCK LUCK i would say. So for now, as long as she's doing her work, i'm keeping her for the time being. Other things she don't lie, only when it comes to FOOD..buay tahan...
