Pain Brié de Calvados

If you add a little water or alcohol to the chocolate you can make it a pipeable consistency. Learned this from our own @chocartist - Elaine Gonzales in her book Chocolate Artistry.

Usually approximately same time of year. Locations varies considerably!

It's my go to method for making chicken broth. Almost every rotisserie chicken ends it's life this way.

This morning I took the carcass of a rotisserie chicken - stripped off any chunks of meat - popped it into the IP with a couple of litres of water, an onion I had cut in half with the skin still on, half a big old carrot cut lengthwise and a stalk of celery. I set it for full pressure for two hours - left for work. When I got home it had been kept warm for 4 hours - strained out the stuff, added the other half of the onion finely diced, the rest of the carrot diced, one of the nice middle celery stalks diced - set it for 2 minutes full pressure while we went to pick up the child from the sitter. When we got back it had been kept warm for about 45 minutes. I added in the chicken bits, some cold rice from the fridge - and soup was ready for dinner. No time spent in front of the stove waiting for it to reach pressure or waiting to turn it off when it had been at pressure for the right amount of time. And it makes wine...

Extra CO2 should be good for your plants!

Makes me laugh - I've felt that way occasionally when watching it too carefully!

That one is smaller than the DeBuyer one - and it's held together with binder clips.

They are pretty full at this point - but of course until everyone pays you don't actually know who will show - and April 6 I'm cutting off registration so those who haven't paid are going to have to wait for a cancellation. So we can add you to the list if you would like.

We had that exact same one - mostly for grilled cheese!

Wonder if you could crystallize and add invertase and pan fast!

Done - may want to consider dinner as well - it's the casual event of the year!

The Belcolade Uganda 80% is quite amazing for something so dark.

Make sure you book your rooms asap - we need to fill the 20 rooms for the main days that I blocked so I can ask for a few more. I hope to ensure everyone has one.

Who's Patrick and WTF is a bascule?

I'll PM it to you.

Actually I've watched @Alleguede weigh every koiugn piece before placing them in the rings/pans - different weight for different pans. He also weighs the dough for each loaf of bread, bun and baguette. Only way to get consistency and control costs.

Fine tuning the prototype dipping bowls. I have video of how well it works with just a tiny bit left in the bottom - which I found amazing. It holds the heat so nicely that the sides didn't end up with that thick layer of cold chocolate. Now to to figure out how to upload video.

It's a pan that Patty has at her house.

Nope - it's a Patty pan. I didn't get pans with mine.
