Baking again
For baking especially, scales are really said to be invaluable. Sadly, I would be able to tell you...
When I wrote Weighing In on Kitchen Scales I was just gearing up for another dive into the world of baking. Just today I saw this post on Ruhlman today: Your Kitchen Needs a Scale. Yes, Michael, Yes it does. Learned about Open Sky on Michael's blog. I have entered the contest to get the scale he uses and recommends for $1.99! Because I really want to win and am a little cranky, I'm not giving a link to that contest here. You'll just have to follow the breadrcrumbs... What do you have to say about Open Sky?Anyone have an experience with Open Sky they'd care to share? I like the concept and have applied to be a shopkeeper. Curious to know about what I think is a fairly new thing, I like their values and they really aim for transparency and authenticity it seems.
No-Knead Sourdough on the rise. This is going to go into the oven in a couple of hours, a cold oven set to 450 degrees. If it fails, I'm going to blame it on the lack of a proper scale.
Set as favorite

I think it would be the same sorts of things folks sell on Amazon, but instead of supporting them I contract with Open Sky. It's sort of social hub and ad network combined but they say they're all about transparency and authenticity, etc. You blog about the items you sell through them and you share in revenue from sales via your Open Sky "shop." There are plenty of things I feel strongly about and blog about anyway. Did you check their site?
For example, whenI buy that scale, I'd include it in my shop and write a post about it. The scale mfr gets viral marketing value and sales, I share in revenue, Open Sky takes a cut. Seems okay to me. Will learn more on Friday. I will never join those ad networks that post Kraft food ads or Google with their damn belly fat ads. I want more control over it. Really hate the dreck on many folks' blogs. Sorry, I just do. Why ruin my experience of your site? It just means you value the very small change you make from that over my user experience. Well, there as usual is my two cents+ ! |
