AnonyMouse_2127 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Hi I used to make playdough in the microwave but have lost the recipe. I wanted to try doing it that way again.

AnonyMouse_7120 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 (edited) Never made microwaved playdough, sounds less fuss/time than cooking and I never find the no-cook ones much good, tried so many recipies and just end up with a crumbly mess everywhere....let us know how it goes Edited February 26, 2017 by Mouseketeer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_15046 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I find that just using boiling water in the normal recipe, like Sunnyday's, means you don't need to cook it at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_5970 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Yes we use the boiling water method too. Used to make it in a saucepan on the hob years ago, then the microwave then came across the boiling water way and haven't looked back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_14766 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Just about to make my regular Sunday night play dough to take into work tomorrow! Many years ago I used to cook the dough on the hob then changed to the boiling water method. My 16 year old said "That's not the way you make play dough, Mum" but it has worked well for the last 16 years! My favourite job of the week.

AnonyMouse_19762 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Oh I didn't know about the 'boiling water' method - I will give that a try :1b Have a vision now of EY practitioners up and down the land busy making 'Sunday play-dough' ::1a 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_19782 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Yes, Sunday is play dough day in this house. Blackcurrant colour this week, boiling water method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_7120 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 (edited) Could you put up your boiled water recipes that don't either end up in crumbly bits very quickly or go sticky ...thanks Edited February 26, 2017 by Mouseketeer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_30128 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 the boiling water method can be a bit unreliable due to varying amounts of gluten in cheap flour....the water MUST be boiling in order to thicken the gluten. Mine 4 cups flour 1 cup salt 4 tablespoons oil 4 tablespoons cream of tartar (I use less!!) 3 cups boiling water plus colouring (don't use paint in this one due to the starch in ready mix...it will make it go slimy and a bit smelly!) Mix like mad and knead for 5 minutes at least! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_7120 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Thanks fm ...4tbsp of tartar ,how much less do you use? 3tbsp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_19802 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Years and Years ago........when I was training, even maybe before the invention of 'cooked' doh??? We used to make simple flour, water, colouring (powder paint I think) and oil - and I remember it was terrific! Smooth, shiny and stretchy! Cannot remember the recipe though????
