Note for Roy - Jean's Boy Toy - luvnit - 09-16-2008 I purchased a wooden pasta dryer several months ago. When I got it, it sort of smelled musty. I used it once then packed it away during our home renovation project. I finally unpacked it the other day. It still smelled. Sprayed it with a light bleach mixture, ran it through a very hot dishwasher and oiled it up. Made pasta and hung it to dry. Even the pasta tasted musty (or mildewee). Finally I threw it away. If I remember right, Roy (Jean's dear hubby) makes a pasta dryer. Does he have any that he would like to sell? I would love one!!! It's been a while, what else does he make. I may be in need of other items I didn't know I could do without. Re: Note for Roy - Jean's Boy Toy - Gourmet_Mom - 09-16-2008 Laura, GREAT idea! The holidays are right around the corner! I would dearly LOVE a salt box. And my tobacco stick wrapped in plastic wrap hung over an "L" in my cabinets doesn't work for a pasta dryer. (I kept opening the stupid cabinet UNDER the "rack" and knocking it off. OUCH!) SO, I would definitely be in the market for a drying rack as well. So give, Jean, what else ya got that I didn't know I needed, but MUST have now? Re: Note for Roy - Jean's Boy Toy - Mare749 - 09-16-2008 This might sound kind of yucky, but it really does work great. I have a wooden clothes rack that is only used to dry pasta. I put a big cookie sheet on the bottom rack to catch anything that falls. Of course, anything that Roy makes is going to be much prettier..... Maryann Re: Note for Roy - Jean's Boy Toy - firechef - 09-17-2008 The clothes drying bars are a good idea. They make plastic ones of those as well that I have seen used in a couple of small Mom & Pop Italian places over the years as well. We all know they are NSF Certified too...NOT! Re: Note for Roy - Jean's Boy Toy - luvnit - 09-17-2008 Oooh never thought of a clothes drying rack (it doesn't sound yucky, unless you are drying your pantyhose right next to the linguine!) Splended idea. Wood or plastic would work. Yes, I am sure Roy's are much prettier and I will hold out for that first. But if he can't get it done I will look into that. Daphne- Yes, I remember Roy's salt boxes too! They are wonderful. I have a salt crock that bought in NM years ago and I love it or I would replace it. I put my kosher salt in it. But, lately I have been thinking about adding a sea salt to my countertop. A new salt box would be in order for that! Re: Note for Roy - Jean's Boy Toy - cjs - 09-17-2008 Well, well, what an interesting thread... Let Roy get thru the next few days and he'll get with you, Laura (read "Finally a trailer" thread) He's been making all kinds of goodies.

Re: Note for Roy - Jean's Boy Toy - Lorraine - 09-18-2008 " He's been making all kinds of goodies " I need a bit more info before giving Gil my Christmas list. Re: Note for Roy - Jean's Boy Toy - cjs - 09-19-2008 Re: Note for Roy - Jean's Boy Toy - DFen911 - 09-19-2008 I have never made pasta to dry. I am assuming there is no egg in it? Recipe/technique please |
