cooking emergency-pls help!
Permalink Closed

I put this in food but noone has even viewed it yet, so i'm posting here hoping that someone will respond and help me! 


I'm making laken's brie recipe and I have two questions:



1) it says to cut the brie in half and then put the dough around it, but it doesn't say whether to take off the casing (the outer white layer).  my mom says i should b/c you wouldn't want to eat that and the dough will cover it, but the recicpe doesn't say to?  I don't know what to do.  I usually don't make brie but when i've seen it served the casing is usually on.


2) i need to thaw the frozen puff pastry--it says to let it sit for 40 minutes.  I don't have that long!!  it also says not to put it in the microwave.  Help!

i don't know about the dough - the problem is you won't be able to mold it if it's still frozen ...


maybe try putting (while in plastic) under some running hot water?


also, LEAVE THE WHITE STUFF ON


you ARE supposed to eat that!

thanks, hermione!  i took the white stuff off of the sides and the thing didn't hold well.  i just now saw your response or I would have followed your advice.  anyway, it was a disaster, the cheese went everywhere, burned and set off the smoke alarm!  I salvaged some of it and we ate it anyway though!
