this is the biggest pillsbury box i could find. notice it is 15.25 not 18.25. next up is a betty crocker i bought a year ago: 14.25. already showed you the current 13.25 betty crocker

YOU ARENT BAD AT BAKING THEY ARE BAD AT SUPPLYING. THEY ARE WRECKING ON PURPOSE

i fed the recipe for my byerly’s The Cake That Makes You Drunk into the app while we were beta testing (and thank god i did because byerly’s has since killed their cookbook) and it nailed the scrape. what i really like is that it automatically detects durations and creates matching timer buttons.
a cake recipe in the sub zero group mobile app. two of the recipe steps say to do something for some amount of time, and the app has automatically created countdown timers for those steps

this is what i’ve got marinating in the fridge rn. people tend to not really use their oven for anything other than bake so we emphasize the different cook modes and the fact that they do different things. if you have a recent Wolf oven the app will also program the oven according to the recipe

if you’re baking from a box tonight remember DO NOT BUY BETTY CROCKER YOUR RECIPE WILL NOT WORK

recipes are written for 18oz boxes. 15oz will get by but 13oz WILL NOT.

2x4s are really 1.5 x 3.5 (don’t think about it) which means two I-beamed 2x4s are 7”, so my vertical runners are 24” instead of 31”. even better
a tape measure on a piece of wood. it is exACTly 24” long

the peninsula will also have an oven and cooktop in it so i’m building structural support rather than relying on particleboard to support it. conveniently, these supports are rings of 23x31, very easy to measure and make
