Baking Term Definition: Anyone Know What "ream" Me
Decorating By Sugar_Plum_Fairy Updated 18 Nov 2006 , 7:28pm by Sugar_Plum_Fairy
Okay, here's my stupidity coming through. I may be new to cake decorating (at least with sculpted cakes, fondant, etc), but I have been baking for years (unprofessionally). My question is, what does ream mean? I'm trying a new recipe and it says to ream the shortening. I've never heard this term before.
Thanks.
OMG, I can't believe I just posted that question!! 
I just reread the recipe and realized there was more to the sentence than "ream the shortening". The next line for some reason had been double spaced and then continued with "sugar.....". I just realized it's a typo.
So sorry! That's what I get for not sleeping as much as I should (because I spend hours looking at the gallery photos every night).
Don't feel too silly! Ream also means to extract juice from something. The tool you use to get the juice out of a lemon is called a reamer. So it really could apply to baking, even if it weren't a typo! I can't say I'd ever want to get juice out of shortenting though! 
LOL
DianaMarieMTV, my hubby said the same thing about the "juicing tool". After I figured it out and ran back here to see if I could delete this stupid question, but alas........
I did, however notice the subject title also. LOL I don't know why the rest of the word mean didn't come through. Oh well...
BTW, just to prove how out of it I am today. Since this ridiculous post, I've been having a difficult time trying to find ingredients and supplies in the kitchen (baking for Thanksgiving). Turns out two items were in my hands and I couldn't find them.....think I'll skip this board tonight and try some sleep for a change. Maybe start taking naps when my 14 mo. old does.
