Théière Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Yes bought the Lidl version just the other day but I recall there was a problem with vanilla production so the price was due to rise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lehaut Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 We have been buying the Lidl extract too when it comes in. Youngest son loves using it for cooking his desserts, especially as parents pay for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hereford Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I have not used vanilla extract for years. I bury a vanilla pod in a jar of caster sugar. Use sugar and then top up the jar as needed. The pod lasts for a year or more. Mrs H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted August 24, 2021 Author Share Posted August 24, 2021 Thanks for all the replies, everyone. Hereford, thanks for the tip and will bear it in mind.Incidentally, have you seen the price of cake tins recently? Shortage of vanilla pods, OK, but shortage of steel for making pans, don't think so as I thought the Chinese have flooded the market with cheap steel?I have many 7 inch tins but for 9 inch ones, the price and choice is immediately limited. Alas, in cake-making as for many more things in life, size does matter[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Théière Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I bought a few vanilla pods in poundland of all places last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
