They address this in the article.... "More than a decade after the world’s first cultured hamburger was announced, the hype has virtually disappeared." But the thing here seems to be that niche players are producing a higher quality product. Not a replacement for burgers, but Foie Gras. But not that fois gras... "Rather than trying to perfectly replicate a chicken wing or rib-eye steak—products that traditional animal agriculture already produces and consumers are accustomed to—companies that are finding success are creating entirely new culinary experiences that excite chefs and diners alike."

That's what they would like you to believe. Here we have "Cornish game hens" that are just baby chickens. I've been to Cornwall. Didn't see any little fish. Just bad ice cream.

Success. Three hours at 93C. Final temperature 87C. Meat could be cut with a table knife. Juicy. Still difficult to chew, but that is a reflection on the condition of my teeth, not the fault of the spareribs. For next time I think I'd skip the rub and just use a little salt and garlic powder.

Cornwall?

Meatloaf/meatball mixes are in every supermarket here. All have beef/pork, some have veal too. I often substitute pork sausage for ground pork,just because I have it available.

Meatloaf mixes are also surprisingly rare to buy here - they are quite good with the extra gelatin from the veal

Went to a new izakaya in the neighborhood, now sitting in our dearly departed Hunan place.... Takoyaki Hamachi Gyoza Chicken thigh and meatball yakitori

The battery takes years and years to run down though. However it did eventually run down on my older Zojirushi.

Where from?

Once again I am attempting spareribs. This time 93C, Smoke level 5, sweetwood blend. Rubbed with mustard, salt, allspice, and Penzeys Florida rub. I have no particular time in mind. I plan to check periodically and pull when the meat looks done. Couldn't be any worse than last time. I've been afraid of burning my arm on the door of the smoker, so I got a pair of long barbecue gloves. They are comfortable, fit pretty well, and are easy to wash. They do show blood stains though.

Hurray for the good conscience, @Duvel !

I have the feeling . . . a couple years from now, , , the media will be screaming about all the bits and pieces of "lab meat" that have been shown to kill you . . . who knows. on the extremist side, all the GMO crops are fatal to humans . . . as humans continue to survive for another century or two, I suspect some of the "irrefutable science" will be "modified"

Had some childhood friends of DW over for pica pica … not the time to experiment. You want some stuff from the freezer section of the local supermarket for deep frying (ad libitum). I had my cooks treat beforehand … Then croquettes (both iberian ham and bacalao), squid rings, bunyols (basically fried choux pastry with bacalao) and some toast with the liver from yesterday’s rabbit. Gazpacho. Olives, fuet & potato crisps not pictured … Edamame & green salad for a good concience. More of this fruity red. Fun evening, a loooot of catching up and no complaints 🤗

No, I don't believe it's a rechargeable battery.

@ElsieD a very thoughtful thing to do . real bagels from a high end bagel place can ver very very nice.

Interesting. does the battery charge while the unit is plugged in ? and also while making rice ? thus it might last longer w proper charging cycles ?

Circled back and found the thread I was talking about, now that I have a few minutes at my computer. It's this one: I'm sure there are mentions in some other threads as well, if you wanted to dig farther.

I made a mistake by saying there is no way to replace the battery by one's self. I meant to say that I wouldn't be able to replace it; someone with a little bit of technical ability and a soldering iron would be able to! The unit still works with a dead battery, so I imagine that when the battery in my unit dies, it will stay that way.

😂 My Zo bread machine no longer allows me to set the time, so it's permanently in either Daylight or Daylight Savings . . .

At that price, I think the scoop should cook the rice for us! I think you probably misread or the manual was unclear. There is an internal Lithium battery that the clock runs on. (Seepage 22 of the manual on this page). Of course the problem happens when that battery runs out, as there is evidently no way to change the battery by one's self.

I looked after Pluto and Oakley, 2 cats in my building for a few days. The couple owned by these cats were away in Montreal, and just picked up their keys. As a thank you, they gave us a bag of Montreal bagels from the St. Viateur Bagel shop, apparently THE bagel shop in Montreal and some special food for Zeus (our cat).

Pretty sure it's been discussed over in the Kitchen Consumer thread, but am just passing through my office and haven't searched.

I unplug it in between uses. I'm not sure what it thinks the date is, but the time is right. I'm not remembering exactly whether I changed the time during Daylight/Daylight Savings. Kenneth, I can set what time I want the rice done. Although I have more than once set the rice for 6 (instead of 18:00) ! Porridge for 6 am does sound good though. @rotuts, my plug does NOT detach. @gfweb, for sound one can choose between Melody, Beep, and Mute. Begin Cooking or Set Time plays "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star". Completion of task plays "Amaryllis"

For those with one of these rice cookers, does the cooker care if you unplug it for storage? A while ago, I was reading a manual and it made it seem like you had to set the clock every time it had power disconnected - which is fine if you leave it on the countertop and plugged in, but I don't have that much counter space and would unplug and store in between uses. And I really don't need a clock on my rice cooker - I would never put the rice/water in and have it turn itself on 7 hours later or whatever its intention was to have.
