bg2310 Posted January 4 #29 Share Posted January 4 I was on the Valor last month and ordered it twice. They were the normal size both times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked as a dishwasher when I was a teenager and didn't like to see them come back into the kitchen, but as long as they got loaded onto the dishwasher rack correctly it was alright. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Not harder than any other type of dish. I am guessing mz-s doesn't do a lot of dishes. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience a lot of restaurant food breaks down ok in a good, hot machine because of all the oil and sugar in commercial food prep. It also helped that the detergents 30 years ago where better, in my opinion. Still, it's a miserable job and anyone doing it has my respect.

ZoeyVictoria Posted January 4 #34 Share Posted January 4 I tried one on the Vista in early December. It was in the normal ramekin, but tasted horrible. It was bitter, as if there was less sugar in it than usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, a chocolate fondant should taste a bit “ bitter” and most certainly not too sugary as it is always made with dark fondant chocolate!

One or two I didn't mind but if we had a special event in the ballroom and there were a couple hundred, egad. 17 hours ago, mz-s said: I don't bake a lot 😉 it just seems that the baked-on cake would be hard to clean out but I guess it's no big deal for a good machine! Our big, commercial dishwasher cleaned anything and everything as long as it was loaded in the rack correctly. Higher pressure and temperature than a home machine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on the Sunshine end of November/beginning of December and the cakes came out in different sizes and shapes of ramekins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't particularly like them, but the hubs likes them. He never finishes one because he says its so rich he can't finish it. I've heard other people say the same thing. I see it as Carnival trying to cut down on waste. If one isn't enough, order two as others have stated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might try them again if they are cooked more thoroughly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. In general, less sugar is used in Europe than in the United States. Canada seems to use even a bit more sugar than the United States. The bagels and Indian food in Canada seemed very sweet. Personal preference, of course, but I prefer things less sweet. Especially like the less sweet yogurt in Europe. On the other hand, I don't care for the unsalted butter that is more commonly served there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabomb6608 Posted January 17 #43 Share Posted January 17 Post Cruise Update: On Mardi Gras last week it seemed the MDR used the traditional dish and Cucina Del Capitano used the odd thinner oval shaped dish. We ate at Cucina 2 evenings. First evening the melting cake was a tad over cooked. Second evening it was a touch on the opposite end. Had a cake covering and didn't seem "warm". Both times I ate them in full and they were delicious regardless. MDR seemed dialed in with cooking each time. I noticed this trend with most dishes and especially drink glasses. Most restaurants/bars had their own style glassware. This is likely to keep track of where they belong in the very common occurrence of them ending up scattered about the ship.
