for Chanukkah, and it. is. awesome. I've wanted a food processor for a while, but figured it was something I'd get "eventually" or "someday," and never bought one for myself. Mostly, I wanted one so that I could make latkes at Chanukkah time, and while I missed out on that this year (though never fear, we made them for Christmas, a new tradition) I still wanted to break in my new toy!When I saw this recipe for lemon bars over at The Kitchen Sink Recipes, I knew I had to try it. I mean, hazelnuts! Lemon! Using the food processor! I've never made bars, so I was kind of excited to try this out. Besides, they just looked so good.
They turned out...fine. I think I may not have baked them long enough, because when it got to the whole "add the lemon mixture to the hot crust" thing, I had a slight problem. The crust didn't stay put when I poured the lemon mixture on top, but rather bubbled up and combined with the lemon, forming this crusty lemon combination. I hoped the crust would sink back down when it baked, but it didn't really, so some of the bars were more like sandwiches. Some of them were bar-like. Some were just mushy.

The other issue was that the lemon filling was a bit oozy, like it didn't quite set right, even though I baked it for longer than I was supposed to. The pieces in the middle were more like custardy goo than a lemon bar, but hey...we ate them all. They were a little too sweet, so next time I'd probably use less sugar or more regular lemons (I used mostly Meyer lemons). But overall, it was a nice experiment, and I had fun using my food processor. I bought way too many hazelnuts, so I'll be sure to try these again!
Many of these timers will even have the ability to set them so that you will have different frequently used times that you can use. The only drawback to these timers is that they can run out of batteries or be affected by heat and moisture.
