Bowling Ball Ovens
Any good ways of getting the oil off of bowling balls?
ive heard that you can put it in the oven and i was wondering the specs on how to do that. also i heard you can put it in hot water but i don't know about that one either...
The oven is very tricky because they don't really keep a consistent enough temperature to safely draw oil out of the ball. Inconsistent or high heat can cause the core to separate from the shell.
Hot water works extremely well. Get one of those external food thermometers (the kind where you keep the main readout outside of the oven but it has a long cord to go inside the oven) fill the sink (if it's large enough) or a large bucket (like a five gallon painters bucket)
Hot tap water is usually the perfect temp (120 degrees) Fill the bucket up with enough water to totally submerge the ball. Leave it in there for about a half hour. Remove the ball and quickly clean it with a wet sponge, clean hot tap water, and a little dawn. If you think you need to repeat the process, go ahead but this should be enough.
Once you think you have all the oil out and it is clean and dry. Apply whatever type of "re-tackifier" that you like if it is a shinier ball. If it is a duller ball, hit it with abralon or grit (whatever it was in the box or whatever you prefer)
I've done this many times. It is safe and it works. The water should stay around 120 for the full half hour. If it drops a few degrees, it's not really a big deal. If it drops more, heat up some water in a tea kettle and add it until the temp gauge reads 120 again. You just don't want to go over..say..140 to be safe.
Hope this helps and Good Luck.

The weeks leading up to Christmas are so busy. You want to bake a variety of Christmas cookies, squares and goodies, but where do you find the time?
The answer may be in organizing a small Christmas cookie exchange. Here is how it works -
Having a variety of holiday treats on hand means baking at least 6 or 8 recipes. Instead, gather together a group of 4 to 6 people who are each willing to make a large batch of 1 or 2 recipes.
If 4 people each make a large batch of 2 recipes and share them with the other 3 bakers, each person will have a variety of 8 different holiday treats for family and friends. It works best if each person ends up with at least a dozen pieces of each recipe. Getting together to divide up the treats can be a fun time too.
Here are three large batch recipes that are perfect for sharing with members of your Christmas cookie exchange group.
Decadent Truffles
1 1/3 cups whipping cream
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup light rum
2 teaspoons vanilla
16 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
16 ounces milk chocolate, chopped
Finely chopped nuts and assorted sprinkles
1/4 cup (or more) cooca powder
Heat cream, sugar, salt, rum and vanilla in a saucepan over medium heat until sugar is dissolved and mixture is hot.
Remove from heat. Add chocolates, stirring until melted (return pan to low heat if necessary). Pour into a shallow dish.
Cover and refrigerate until just firm, about 1 hour.
Shape the mixture into 1 1/4" balls. Rolls balls in nuts, sprinkles or cocoa powder to cover.
Refrigerate truffles until firm, about 1 hour.
Note: If your kitchen is very warm, keep a portion of the truffle mixture chilled as you shape and roll balls.
