Dullsters
Inspired by the Dull Men’s Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of “discuss” rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This isn't an advice forum
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with “So” - starting a post with pointless phrases, like “I hope this is allowed” or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Congratulations! We got a bread machine at a thrift store a few months ago and it’s been life changing. We use it a few times a week now. So much fun to mess around with ingredients. Speaking of which, butter powder?? What is that? I feel like this could be great for out on the boat.
It's kind of like powdered milk. I'm not sure about getting it at the grocery store (never looked) but the stuff I have is marketed as survival food. Comes in a big can and you reconstitute it with water.
It's great for baking and seasoning (put some in a salt shaker and go to town on your popcorn; so good), but it doesn't work like regular butter in all cases (e.g. it's not great for sauteing).
I'm lactose intolerant, so I switched to buying powdered milk at the grocery store ages ago since the small cartons I'd buy for cooking always went bad before I used them up. Haven't had a problem with butter going bad, but figured for baking it'd be easier to just toss the powder in with the dry ingredients like I do with the milk. Seems to work well.
Interesting! Thank you so much for the personal experience using it, I’ll see if I can find some. Cheers!
It's pretty common in bulk food outlets, you mix a little water in the butter powder, then chill overnight.
Ok cool, I’ll see if Bulk Barn has it. Thanks!
