INGREDIENTS

1 package Devil’s Food Cake Mix
4 eggs
1 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 rectangular ice cream boxes

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Make Devil’s food cake batter according to the directions on the box but add 1 extra egg. Pour half of the batter onto one baking sheet and spread it out until it covers the baking sheet. Repeat with the rest of the batter.
  3. Bake for 20 minutes or until cake is cooked through. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  4. Use a ruler and toothpicks to cut each cake into 7-by-13 inch rectangles. Round the edges using a paring knife. On one cake use a straw to punch holes 5 across and 15 down on the cake.
  5. Lay out plastic wrap large enough to wrap the entire cake. Place the bottom of the cake down on the plastic wrap. Use food-safe scissors to cut open the rectangular ice cream cartons and lay the ice cream down on the bottom of the cake. Cover with more plastic wrap and smooth down the sides until you form a block. Remove the plastic wrap and top with the second cake. Wrap the entire cake in plastic wrap and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.

Cook Time: 8 hours
Serves: 8 to 10 people

Nick Gavin shows you how to make a perfect looking fried egg with this simple technique.

Enjoy!

There are a lot of approaches to cooking a good fried egg, but this method will make your egg look so good, you’ll think it came right out of a cartoon.

This video from the ChefSteps YouTube channel demonstrates how to cook an egg with no runny egg white or yolk, no crunchy edges, and the visual appeal of an egg right out of a Pixar movie. The trick is using a non-stick pan, a little butter, and cooking it on the lowest heat possible. You should be able to touch the pan quickly without it hurting you. Frying eggs this way is great for any meal where you’re using an egg to top something off or garnish a meal. Of course, not only will your fried egg look good, but it will taste delicious too.

A small, highly skilled team at Moorfields Eye Hospital transform the lives of people who have lost their eyes to accidents and disease. Each year, they work with their clients to create around 1,400 customised, detailed prosthetics, many of which replace eyes.

Modern prosthetic eyes are far removed from the old misconceptions about ‘glass eyes’, combining modern materials, craftsmanship and artistry in an entirely unique way. In this film, ocularist David Carpenter talks us through the entire process of how a single prosthetic eye is made.

How To Clean Burnt Stains Off Enameled Cookware

The Kitchn offers a nifty trick for cleaning burnt enamel pots and pans, and it doesn’t require hours of scrubbing. All you need is baking soda and water.

Let the water come to a boil, add the baking soda, and give everything a good stir. After a few minutes of simmering, use a wooden spoon (no metal on that enamel surface, please!) to nudge off the burned-on bits. Just like that, all that yucky stuff will release from the pot, minimal elbow grease required.
