Tips on Tares

[Ray Roberts]

Well the tares turned out fine even though I only 'cooked' them for 18 hours in a 0.6L flask. On the plus side all cooked well , slightly firm and they didn't expand as much as usual through the cooking in a saucepan method. On the downside the flask had a nasty residue in the bottom and I need to find a dishmop that will clean it! Either that or source a cheap big flask just for cooking tares....

They soften a bit if you freeze them Mark.

They're back in the freezer now after yesterday's trip and may be frozen/thawed three or four times by the time I've used them up.

Try a denture tablet, gets the muck out of my thermos.

I'll try that. If it works and it ought to then I can use an old 1.5L flask which will stay hotter for longer.

What’s their shelf life like?

A steradent tablet plus boiling water will clean any flask. I use one every few months or so for coffee stains .

John kept refrigerated tares keep for weeks.

This is probably sacrilege.........I have used hemp and tares for yonks and appreciate their roach catching abilities.
However this summer I have started catching good roach on 4mm banded pellets from two of my local lakes in quantities and qualities that I can with tares.

I will still use tares but I was surprised to find the pellets fished by feeding them and one on the band was that good for roach.

Er indoors drops a steradent tablet in the loo once a week, says it does a good cleansing job.
