  2. Shelby, I like the idea of the croissants used in a strata.

     

    Moe's breakfast.  Soft boiled (steamed) eggs with buttered toast fingers.

    I think this is actually his favourite way to eat eggs and yet it is my least favourite to make.

    And you are already an expert!!!  Wow, such beautiful breads.

     

    Thanks Linda.

     

    Had enough dough leftover over from a batch that had been in the fridge since Friday to bake a small loaf last night.

  4. Made pizza last night from dough that had been in the fridge since Friday.  Enough leftover to bake another little  loaf in the CSO . 

    I hope the larger stone will arrive this week so I can bake longer loaves.

    Does a nice job on the crust without having to spray or toss ice cubes into the bottom of the oven.

  5. Great looking baguettes Norm.

    Tonight's Dinner  - Pizza

    Dough was made on Friday with the intention of baking bread.   Instead I made a large 17" pizza with enough dough left for a small loaf.

    Pizza was baked on the grill.

    This is what it looked like after one minute.

  6. So many wonderful dinners on this page.

     

    @Blue_Dolphins, pasta and garlic bread.  @Norm Matthews, beautiful steaks,  @Chefmd,'s golden bird, @Anna's perfectly cooked duck breasts. ( I love your choice of zucchini )

    and @HungryChris's oysters.   It is still early here on the west coast and I'm craving those oysters.

    @Shelby, I have the same one plus the 8" on order but I don't think that Amazon has even shipped it yet.  Suppose to be here between Dec.5 and the 11th. 

     Can't wait to see how you use it.

    Beautiful, Ann, as always!  I'm glad I asked about the weight because when you said 500 g batch of dough I assumed 500g total recipe weight, not flour weight.

     

    How do you transfer the loaves to the stone?

     

    JoNorvelle,  I have birds eye/burl  maple transfer board that we made.  Loaves can be slid in off the long end or off the short end.  So in this case it was the short end.

     This remains a cut of beef that will disappoint more people than it pleases.  Even more so now that it is so pricey. 

     

    Anna, thanks for your review.    That is how I feel about Eye of Round.  Every time I have cooked an Eye of Round I'm always disappointed.    I want to like. But I don't.   Same can be said for 

    flank steak.  Doesn't matter how perfectly it is cooked, I just don't care for it.

    Do I infer correctly that each boule was 250 g?

    JoNorvelle, I didn't weigh when I divided the dough. Just eyeballed.  One might have been slightly larger than the other.  But the weight of the dough with 500G of flour and 360g of water, would make each loaf around 430g each.

    @Ann_T

     

    may I ask where you got the stone ?

     

    would there be one a bit larger for the CSO ?

     

    did you protect the top of the loaf in the CSO ?

     

    Rotus, the stones are by Pizzacraft and come in a set of four 7 .5" stones.   I bought two sets when they were on sale at Canadian Tire. If I remember correctly I paid $24.99 per set.   Great for lining a grill too.

    Not sure what other sizes they have, but I used just one in the CSO last night and it was big enough for the round.   

    No, I didn't do anything to protect the top of the loaf.

    Sliced the CSO loaf this morning.

    Baked my first bread in the CSO tonight.  Started the dough after 2:30 this afternoon and the bread just came out of the oven at 9:00 PM.

     

    Made a 500g batch at 72% hydration.  The loaf upfront is the one baked in the CSO.  The one in the background was baked in a Waring counter-top oven.  

     

    Both baked on stones.   I have some 7" stones and one was perfect in the CSO for a round/boule.

  11. Decided after 2:30 PM that I wanted to try baking bread in the CSO.   

    So I started a 500g batch of dough.    I definitely should have started earlier in the day.

    The bread  came out of the oven at 9:00. 

     

    Enough dough for two rounds.   The one in the background was baked on a stone in the Waring Countertop and

    the one upfront was baked in the CSO.  Both were baked on a stone.  I have a 7" stone that is perfect for the small oven. 

     

    I can't remember the last time I baked bread from same day dough.

    Have we come to any kind of consensus on the best setting/time/temp for bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs? In a tray, in a pan, on a rack?  (Paging @Anna N, @Ann_T, @rotuts, @Shelby)

     

     Melissa, I'm a fan of high heat roasting so if I had the option I would always roast at 500°.  The bake steam setting only goes to 450°F so that is what I would use on this oven. It is what I roasted the chicken on.   

    I don't use a rack.  I roast in a cast iron skillet and after the first 10 minutes I give the pan a shake to make sure nothing is sticking.  I would do the same for legs, thighs or even bone in breasts.

    Arrived home at 9 pm after a two day trip, tired and hungry, but was able to pick up the makings of a meal and put it together.

     

    I did a sort of 青椒肉片 (qīng jiāo ròu piàn) which is stir fried pork slices with green chilli peppers. Also has the usual suspects: garlic, ginger, Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, and scallions. A very common fast food type dish around these parts. It is normally served with rice, but I'm not normal so I served it with 刀削面 (dāo xiāo miàn) or "knife cut noodles". I'd like to claim that I made the noodles myself, but it would be an outrageous lie. I bought them dried from the local store.

    This looks so good. Makes my mouth water.   I need to make more dishes like this.  You always make it look so easy.

    Roasted a chicken in my new steam oven last night.  Moe ate the legs last night for dinner.

    This morning I made hot chicken sandwiches with double fried fries.
