  1. I have one, and have debated purchasing at least one more. It is used all the time in our kitchen, in fact for myself it's almost as indespensible as say a knife or saute pan, but then again we makes lots of stocks and sauces. Alton is right if you would only need to fine strain something a couple times a year, but if it is a couple times a week/month then I'd get the chinois.

  2. We buy a couple of whole strips every year, and used to cut em into 8-10 oz steaks for grilling. A year ago we bought two for a large party and my grill isn't big enough for this many steaks, so I roasted them. Salt, pepper and thyme, they were a huge hit, in fact I havn't cut em into steaks since. Always roast em now. I start out at high temp 550 f in the convection till there is some really nice browing (about 20 minutes, give or take) then drop the temp down to 275-300 and no convection. Cook to rare in the center. Because of the relative thinness of the strip loin you'll have plenty of variation in doneness from the ends in.

  3. I'm a bit puzzled. Cast iron in the dishwasher?  Big no no in my department.  I use a cast iron skillet and a regular saucepan filled with water.

    The cast iron (very well seasoned) is bathed gently in hot water, and dried over a low burner, with a smear of oil before storing.

    Snowangel would you come over to my house and explain this concept to my wife...maybe she would listen to someone else say this. It's come to no one is allowed to clean my cast iron or black steel pans...ever. If they use em, then just leave em sit on the stove and I'll take care of em. I'll put one of my seasoned black steel pans up against any non-stick pan in the world.

  4. What does the vinegar inside the cruet look like after a few hours? Is it full of bubbles, discolored or is there any sediment in it? Personally I wouldn't use it, what if there is lead in the ceramic bottle or glaze? Stick it on a shelf.

  5. LOUD music.

    Maybe I'll start a sister topic about what people LIKE about the bar experience.

    Oh dear. You aren't gonna like the bar when I'm behind it. And you've got that great big hockey stick, too . . . :smile:

    I don't know it just ruins it for me when I have to yell my order in the bartenders ear or have someone's spit end up in my ear when they are yelling at me.

    Yeah right, a 8 1/2 pound hockey stick. :cool:

  6. How about Shaklee or maybe Meulalueca? My grandma used to sell Shaklee and I remember it as a concentrated detergents for various household uses...Basic I, Basic H etc that were clear and had little or now fragrence and were sold in various sized containers including large/bulk.
