What’s the best way to ice lamingtons? All the recipes I read say to use forks and then dip the cake into the icing but my cake is too soft and just crumbles

Can you please tell me the best way to stop muffins sticking to the pan without using paper patties. I have tried butter and cooking oil but they always seems to stick on the bottom still.

Can you please tell me the advantages of turning meat (ie; steak) only once like on a BBQ as I have a different technique where I turn meat constantly when grilling etc ?

Hi Kellie-Marie,
I am looking for an old favourite Mum use to make called "Tuna Crisp" it had carrots & peas with a breadcrumb topping.
Cheers

Hi,
I am going to make Barbara Northwoods ' Foolproof Chocolate Cake' and i noticed in the picture on sunrise that they have used chocolate filling as opposed to the plain white filling as stated in the ingredients. I wanted to know how do i make that filling chocolate too. Thanks

I would like to now if sour cream can be substituted for any recipe particularly for sauces, as I have a family member who is allergic to cream but can have sour cream
