Yes, as I understand it. The man at the shop was implying that Nuri might be the second-best line, but he couldn't tell the difference. I've only had one tin of Nuri, I think, but many of Pinhais. I think we're into very minor, if any, objective differences. I'd need to do a blind A-B comparison, and even I'm not that nuts!

Would a bandage impregnated with a hydrocolloid help with this? https://www.walgreens.com/store/c/walgreens-hydrocolloid-gel-bandages-large/ID=300396760-product

One thing I have noticed it that the knobs can get quite hot.

That doesn't look too tasty

It seems like the everything vent. When I run on convection bake, I feel a slight warm breeze coming out then too.

Patrick Swayze said it best in that cinematic gem Roadhouse : Pain don't hurt. Are we going to match blood and injuries?

Did they stop the bleeding by meds put into you? Do you have to give up the blood thinner for x number of days? Are you OK more or less today? Inquiring minds on blood thinners for the first time and currently in "blood" troubles want to know

@rotuts See the vent between the top of the oven and the bottom of the cupboard? I can confirm that it's the steam vent.

@Margaret Pilgrim Hurts, doesn't it?

@Duvel Im with you , you bet. I lived in FR for two years , quite some time ago . my parents were teachers , and taught in FR. As in Spain. pleased you added that sort of deliciousness , well , its right there in front of you !

@weinoo I have not had the Zuni Cafe chicken in its restaurant . those that have had it here , have deeply enjoyed it. I thought about the Z.C. technique , and have read the Rx many times . the ' refrigerate 24 hrs ' +/- i sure , in their system , might be there. I will ell you this : I learn every day . some days , not so much , then others days , enough to notice , a bit more . drying the surface of something , over night , then ..... up to you was a bit '' Revelational '' to me: revelational === ' New Idea , ++ a glass of TJ's table wine du jour. I do have an feal oven now moght spoatcock someting . and just see

Me too. When I think ahead enough. Usually its only a few hours.

While in the Loire, I once had an aged crottin that I still dream about.

I can’t say that I’d drive that far to Trader Joe's but I drive a similar distance to Asian markets, as do my Asian friends. If you’ve got a decent cooler with frozen ice packs, then frozen foods should be OK. My friends always bring 2 coolers, one with ice packs for the frozen stuff and another one (or insulated bags) for refrigerated stuff that shouldn’t freeze. Finding the time? Unfortunately, I can’t help with that!

What happens when you travel on the day the whole of France gets school holidays ? We left the highway (and the traffic jams), stopped at a supermarket and got some baguette, cheeses* (Rocamadour, Bleu de Auvergne, Crottin lookalike), ham and a duck terrine. Plus some crisps with goat cheese and piment ‘d’Espelette (that we demolished while I moved the car in the shadow) … Some interesting rock formations were admired before heading back to the highway … * all local, so you may guess where we were …

Let's not forget Judy Rogers, and her awesome roast chicken at Zuni Cafe... But even years before this, if my memory would only serve me correctly, was the technique I learned from (I think) Sunset - dry brining salmon, for instance, before smoking it on the Weber - which was pretty much all that was available back in the early 80s. It formed, I believe, the pellicle.

Channelled@JoNorvelleWalker. Putting out recycle for collection. Adding a shopping bag crammed with newspapers. Very heavy. Lost control of it and rammed/grated arm against the hard plastic bin. Peeled 1" x 3" section of skin from forearm like a banana. Got inside and applied covering. Changed into nightgown and robe. Watched TV. Finally around 10:30pm decided that bleeding was not abating. Since. I'm on a heavy blood thinner regime, decided I'd better seek treatment. Called Yellow Cab and went to St. Mary's ER, in bloody robe, making like Lady Macbeth. Treated and home by midnight. Old lady skin is not to be trifled with!

I use a blast chiller for drying stuff -- most recently the bluefish that I smoked.

I thought Nuri and Pinhais were the same company?

Toasted crumpet spread with plenty of butter and ginger preserves. July Flame peach from the farmers market. Black coffee.

Very! So far.... especially since it's our only oven. We don't have a regular range or wall oven.

@KennethT bet you are very happy !

Worst comes to worst, you can open the box wherever it is left and take it in piece by piece. Or if you can pick up one edge, try to get an old towel under there and then you should be able to drag it.

Yes to both.
