I am going to try to calculate the area of a round 9" pan and see how close that is to the area of an 8" square pan, just because it's easier for me to cut squares than pie slices. I couldn't locate my 8" square (brownie) pan that's why I used the round one. I have since located my square one and will use it next time. I think the proportions will be ok. They

came out pretty thin, but cooked through well. Approximately what volume (or weight, if you go by the mass) of pecans do you use to make 1 cup pecan butter? I used about 8 oz or 1/2 of a 1 pound bag. I think that worked. I had to add coconut oil as it was too taxing on my fp.By the way, what type of food processor do you use? I'm thinking of replacing my 26-year-old food processor with something more powerful and quieter. But most of the FPs I have seen at stores don't seem compatible with highly liquid recipes like SCD cheesecake. Cuisinart and some other models have an open tube inside the processor bowl, which restricts the volume of liquid that can be processed. My old CGE (now Black & Decker) FP doesn't have that problem, but the current generation of Black & Decker has that liquid limit as well. I'll have to get the name and send that to you later. It is a

mini food processor so it only does small amounts at one time. Works great for chopping veggies for recipes. It doesn't do anything fancy like the ones I see the cooks on food network using though.So many questions for one little treat :-)Thanks again.Ellen in Toronto <enginuity4rogers>SCD week 10 .
