Storing Rev. Rolls

[TX Stacy]

How do you store your Rev. Rolls?

Mine are in the oven now..{First time makin' them.}

Do you put them in containers and place in fridge?

Plastic bags/place in pantry?

I want to store them correctly.

TIA! :wave:

What did I do wrong?

They spread out too much and are paper thin.

Can I use this as thin sammie bread or french toast, etc?

They are so thin I may not have a lot of options..lol :lol:

They could only cook for 30 mins. since they are so thin..

Is that still long enough? They were browning very quickly and sides were crusting up too much.

Did I not get the egg whites stiff enough maybe?

I haven't made them (yet!), so I can't help you with what went wrong, but I can't see any reason why you couldn't use them like wraps or thin bread for french toast, etc.

I haven't looked at the recipe in a while, but they're primarily eggs and some kind of dairy product right? If so, I'd definitely store them in the fridge.

You should still be able to use them. Let them cool completely on a wire rack then place in a ziploc bag in the fridge for storage. They will soften up after being in the fridge for 8 hours or so.

My guess is that your egg whites were not stiff enough or you overfolded the mixture or both. The whites should be so stiff that they do not move when you tip the bowl and the peaks should be stiff when you remove the beaters. I beat them even a few minutes more after that point. When you're folding, the mixture does not have to be totally mixed. Streaks are OK. You just want to fold until just blended and not one stroke more. Every stroke after that point will break down them volume of the mixture.

Use an oven thermometer to assure the correct temperature. I found out that my oven runs 25-50 degrees hot, depending on the temperature.

Good luck. :)

That was it then! The egg whites were no where near that stiff..

I have never done anything with egg whites before..lol :doah: Doh!

Thanks, they'll come out perfect next time! ;)
What speed should I use w/mixer?

[ElleH]

High speed!

stacy - if you have a Kitchenaid Mixer, that works very well for whipping the heck out of the whites. I use the balloon whip attachment and it takes maybe 2-3 minutes to get them to the stiffness they should be. I have read that people use hand mixers, too, but standing there holding the thing would kill me! Easier to just plop them in the bowl, add the tartar and let it rip while I do other things! :) it also whips cream in record time.

I LOVE my Kitchenaid mixer. I got one for Christmas. I use it to make cookies for my DH and DS. It will over mix the dough if you are not careful.
I can't wait to try the rev rolls.

I don't have one..:( I ask for one each C-Mas but hubby thinks they are too much money..

{He wants to get it, but we are always short on cash.}

He did tell me if we see it cheaper on HSN/QVC we'll get it!

We shop w/them a lot bc you get great prices vs. stores and most often they have free S&H..

I just got my first set of Cook's Essentials for Val-Day from QVC at an awesome price! Free S&H..14 pc. set. I don't know how I ever cooked without them!

Ok..Back on topic..lol :lol:


I'll make sure to use high speed with hand mixer! ;)

I'll make 'em again tomorrow.

I use my hand mixer. If you can tip the bowel upside down without them moving.. they are stiff enough.

[ElleH]

I use my cheap-o hand mixer that is 20 years old (too lazy to pull down my Sunbeam Stand Mixer for this little job!) and it takes about 6 minutes to whip mine, I think, if the eggs are room temp when you start.

[TX Stacy]

*HeeHee* ;)
Can't wait ta try again tomorrow!

Just tried it for dessert with butter, cinnamon, and splenda.

Very good!

In my kitchen, the KitchenAid is always out & ready because my "hobby" is baking (kind of a little "side business" for when I win the lottery and open my own bakery!) My BF gave it to me for Xmas about 6 years ago, and I'm waiting for the motor to go on it from over-use. Anyway - couldn't live without it!

[TX Stacy]

Sounds great!
