[Sca-cooks] My Feast Report in Pictures

[kattratt]

Oh geez well they are all now gone and I never weighed one but my guess 
is that they weighed as much as a standard coffee cup.  (Translation for 
normal coffee drinkers,.... that would be one of those "Fine Dining 
China Cups" not one of the real coffee cups that we all use that are 
plastic and hold a gallon of coffee.) lol
I remember thinking that the boxes weighed as much as a box of ceramic 
dishes.
I agree with the 305 BTW, it is just that most things below 300 harden 
droopy.   I was trying to recycle a messed up plate and didn't want to 
burn it so I stopped at 275 degrees.  It dried and hardened some even... 
just that when I picked it up it went all droopy....
I redid it the next day and it worked fine.
