Samsung 5.9 cu. ft. Capacity Samsung Freestanding Electric Range

This post was originally written on September 3, 2020, but for some reason, it never posted, since we use this every day I wanted to share about our experience with it. 

First of all, I have to say how excited we were to come across this range. Recently our old stove had the oven door shatter due to a mishap with a rolling chair so we had visited a few sites and stores looking at ranges to replace it.  No kidding we had it down to two stoves this very one and another by a different brand. 

We are used to glass cooktops so there was nothing really new here except for the 5th burner which keeps food warm (think gravy, veggies, dips, stews, etc). This fifth burner is great for family meals or for the Holidays.  We love the sleek design and the stainless steel accents, which we are totally new to.  

My favorite part is the hidden element. This is what makes the range so easy to keep clean. As a mom with children and grandchildren, we are always making meals, so clean up needs to be easy. The top wipes clean with little effort and upkeep, the inside is super easy as you don't have to clean around a heating element which makes cleaning tedious. 

I also love the controls, they are easy to use, and the light that lets others know that the cooktop is hot is awesome. All of our children and grandchildren know if that light is on the range is hot. A lifesaver for a family who likes to cook together. 

 

The oven is great and fits two small to medium pans on one shelf, my largest pan can only fit one per shelf, which is OK with me since this is the only way I have ever used it. I do wish that it had come with a third rack for utilizing the whole oven such as when baking cookies, pizza, etc. 

I only have two flaws that could be made better with future models and that is the vent under the controls on the range. Cleaning this area can be dangerous as it has sharp areas. I am used to a smooth surface that cleans just a bit easier than this. Maybe a grated area that can be cleaned without fear or laceration. The second is that the stove can not sit flush with the wall because of the plug. I am thinking of a recessed area so that there is room for the plug.

52 Weeks of Cookies Marksville Style Week 3 Chocolate Chip Cookies

52 Weeks of Cookies 

Marksville Style

I have been under the weather so my husband took over and made his favorite cookie which is Chocolate Chip cookies with Milk Chocolate Chips. I tell him all of the time he needs to enter a contest. He really just follows the directions but he must just put in extra love because his cookies always come out different then any other cookie I have had from anyone else even from myself when I make the cookies from the batter he has made. It just doesn't make any sense. 

So here is the recipe he follows from the back of the package. The only difference he says he does is that he pats each cookie down with what we call his big sausage fingers. So maybe that is the secret. 

Our changes are in Bold 

1 cup butter softened we used butter Crisco

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup packed light brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 eggs 

2 1/4 cups all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups of milk chocolate chips

preheat oven to 375

1. Beat butter, granulate sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla until creamy. Add eggs continue to beat. 

2. In separate bowl mix together flour, baking soda, and salt.

3. add flour mixture to butter mixture until well blended 

4. stir in chocolate chips 

5. drop by teaspoon onto silicone lined cookie sheets  and bake for 10 minutes for a crunchy cookie 8 minutes for chewy cookie.

52 Weeks of Cookies Marksville Style Week 2 Soft & Chewy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

52 Weeks of Cookies 

Marksville Style

Recipe below is from Just So Tasty 

Notes in Bold are from MarksvilleandMe

                                            Ingredients

• 1 and 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 to 1 teaspoon cinnamon ,to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup unsalted butter ,melted and cooled to room temperature
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 1 large egg
• 2 and 1/4 cups old-fashioned oats
• 1 and 1/4 cup chocolate chips , your favorite kind
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts , optional but recommended

 Directions

1. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda & salt. 
2. In a separate bowl beat together the melted butter and sugars using an electric mixer. Add in the honey, vanilla and egg and continue beating until combined. 
3. Turn the mixer down to low and beat in the flour mixer until almost combined.
4. Add in the oats and beat on medium speed until combined. 
5. Then turn off the mixer and stir in 1 cup of the chocolate chips and the chopped walnuts.
6. Form the dough into balls of about 1/4 cup . Flatten slightly, set on a plate and cover with clingfilm. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. I found cookies too large for my family so changed them up  and I made them by tablespoon size
7. When you're ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Line your baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and place the cookies at least 2 inches apart. 
8. Bake for 12-14 minutes until the tops of the cookies look almost set. I baked for 12 minutes
9. Remove from the oven and dot the tops of the cookies with the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips.
10. Allow to cool on the cookie tray for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to continue cooling.

Even with using Just So Tasty's tips and following directions my cookies were chewy but still fell apart easily so I am still looking for the perfect cookie for our family.

Directions in Grey are from Just So Tasty

New Utensils and a Giveaway too

I have several sets of utensils and find a use for each and everyone. One of my favorite kinds of utensils are silicone and bamboo, or wooden. This put two of those together in my favorite color red so this goes great with my kitchen items. I love how easily the utensils wash up after use. They are Stain Resistant. I do my dishes by hand but if I ever get a dishwasher I know it will be safe to use since they are also Dishwasher Safe. 

Cooking and Baking are one of my favorite things to do with my children which is why I suppose they can all cook and bake well. None of my kids are starving as long as they can find food to make a meal with. 

I hope see these utensils in more color varations in the near future but until then my readers can enter to win a 500.00 Amazon Gift Card to get their shopping started, or order their own set below. The Giveaway ends soon so make sure you enter while you can.

Clasier Organic Bamboo Cutting Board

* Some of the links in the article may be “affiliate links.” This means if you click on the link and purchase the item, I will receive compensation.  

While preparing food it is always a good idea to have a cutting board for a few reasons. First of all it protects your table, or counter from damage, and second it makes for a far easier during clean up time. I like that I can use both sides. I use the second for putting out a cheese spread for get togethers.

This cutting board from Clasier has a ridge so that it will catch juices from meat, fruit, or vegetables. It also comes with 4 bamboo utensils which are great for using with your coated cookware. This cutting board is large at 18"x12"x.06". 

Make sure to wash and dry after use and once a month rub down with oil and let sit for 10-20 minutes, then wipe off to prolong the life of your board. I love that this is made from organic bamboo.

Being apart of Crowdtap is awesome because I get to try out new products and tell my readers about my experience with the products. This time I was able to try out Splenda Naturals.

Heat Hunter

These gloves are slotted at taking temperatures of 932 which is way hot. I love that they are both cut and heat resistance. I will be using these mainly for gardening because the red and black will really stand out if I should forget them and need to find them in the garden.

We do a vegetable garden usually but our landlord has a pile of dirt, a pile of bricks, and several piles of wood throughout our yard so we haven't been able to start our garden this year.

I have a few more weeks to get planted but I hope he hurries. These glove fit my hands whicn are a medium and even fit my husbands hands which are an xtra large. Most of the time what fits me won't fit him and what fits him is way to big for me but these take both of our hand sizes and fit well.

CuliChef

This silicone spatula from CuliChef has quickly become my new favorite kitchen cooking utensil. I love how easy it is to wash, and of course to use it has it's own perks. Eggs flip easily, crepes look out because you are mine. This spatula is more forgiving on delicate foods which makes it great for things like eggs, and crepes, but is also strong enough for serving food, flipping burgers, or pancakes.

It has a nice weight to it and a nice hanging cut out for those who hang their utensils. Mine hides out in a drawer between use which isn't all that often.

This Silicone Spatula can be found on Amazon.

BakeMaster

We have several silicone baking products and they are our favorite. So wish they had been out years ago. Great for new or experienced bakers. Makes a great housewarming gift for the cook. What I like about silicone muffin baking pans is that they are so versatile. They are microwave, oven, freezer, and dishwasher safe.

You can use them for baking, muffins, cupcakes, potato stacks, desserts, savory dishes, etc. You can use it in the freezer to make big ice cubes, single serve ice cream scoops for birthday parties, or even to freezer individual serving sizes of side dishes for warming up on busy nights. One of our favorite ways to use these is to melt broken crayons down into colorful crayons for gifts for parties. Kids love them.

Easy to wash, you don't have to use cupcake liners, baked good just pop right out.

Truvia pure sweetness you can bake with

Thanks to MomsMeet and Truvia I was able to try out Truvia with some friends and family. As parents we are always trying to give healthier foods to our families which isn't all that easy.

We want food that is healthy, tastes good and that our families will eat, not food that is healthy that our families won't eat.

In steps Truvia with great products that don't have an aftertaste, won't mess with your diabetes, and is better for you then most products out there.

Made from the stevia plant this is a nice healthy way to go. My husband mainly uses the truvia packages for his coffee, but the baking blend and brown sugar blends are used by myself to make great tasting baked goods for my family.

I was given several free coupons to purchase products for my family and friends to try out as well as being given samples of the sugar packets to give away. I was also given an extra coupon for one of our guests to take home so they could try a full size of truvia in their home for free. 

I have enjoyed using Truvia while telling my friends and family all about their products. My all time favorite of course is the baking blend with the brown sugar being my new favorite. Wonder if they can come up with a powdered sugar next? Time will tell until then our family will be baking and enjoying lower calorie sweets with Truvia.

What Truvia has to say about their product.

The best sweetness comes from nature. Truvía® sweetener is natural, zero or reduced calorie sweetness born from the leaves of the stevia plant. Try Truvía® Natural Sweetener to add the perfect zero-calorie sweetness to all of your favorites, from that morning cup of coffee or tea, to yogurt, salad dressings and cocktails. For your family-famous baked treats, try Truvía® Baking Blend and Truvía® Brown Sugar Blend to get the same sweetness, browning and texture you love about sugar and brown sugar, but with 75% fewer calories from sugar. All while keeping the tastiness of your recipes that stands the test of time.
