Goddamn stupid souffles. HATE HATE HATE HATE. Pain in the ass souffles. SHIT!

they hate you too, that's why they don't want to rise for you.

I don't even like eggs...they act as a better than normal emulsifier.

I guess it is like some sort of vision quest...Perhaps I should get torqued on Mescaline and start cooking "The Great Souffle".

My vision guide, the giant land tortoise, would lead me through the desert into souffle utopia.

I had an $18 chocolate and Grand Marnier souffle in Texas this week. It was ridiculous.

And this is the souffle's fault?

Gotta have the proper tools, man. Straight-sided ceramic-type baking unit and a good electric beater with whisks, plus an oven with even temperatures - electric/gas is the bomb. Then they're a piece o' cake! Hrmmmm... Well, not literally. Personally, I love souffles! In fact, if we had a choice between pie, cake and souffles, I'd definitely pick souffles.

...and a good electric beater...

Perhaps you could suggest one? >:)

Ya, I'm not fallin' for it Rastus. (dirty boy...)

Black & Decker and Hamilton Beach make them, and probably other manufacturers do too. Here are a couple with whisk attachments.

I own a kitchen aid epicurean stand mixer. My problem with souffles is not hardware or user error; it is much deeper.

Pils, share your troublesome recipe- or at least send it to me in a PM so I can have my way with it. Its been too long since I tried a souffle of my own.
