  1. Is this the same idiot brother who ruined breakfast?
  2. Congrats! Are your other places still open?
  3. I think the market is tiny for this. SV isn't like a crock pot. It just cooks one thing, usually protein that needs a long cook. So the home cook sets it up for flat iron steak and makes the side dishes when he gets home from work. I guess some time is saved, but why not just cook a fast salmon when he gets home? I think this solves a nonexistent problem. In fact a crock pot, of which I'm no fan, is better for a full meal. Short ribs, carrots, garlic, onion, red wine, tomato etc, cooked all day on low only needs some noodles for a tasty dinner.
  4. And critical palates rule that its a bad excuse for a hoagie/sub.
  5. They are dead to me
  6. That thoughtful answer is exceptional

  8. We missed doing tonkatsu last time around
  9. I thought they were sold acouple yrs ago. Eta they were sold in 2015 to some outfit I never heard of.
  10. UK only has 20 or so actors. They recycle them wildly on BBC.
  11. Any worries about CSO steam and the microwave on top?
  12. You can get a flask, buchner funnel and a faucet aspirator for a few bucks on Amazon and vacuum filter easily
  13. Love this offer. Temp checks for sure. There will be those interested in toast quality as well.

    Roasting tomatoes

    So here is a first try at @weinoo's roasted tomato. Steam-peeled in the CSO, then 220 F x 3 hours in the Breville. It was a BIG tomato so I upped the temp. Before cooking I sugared and salted the surface. Definitely worth doing again. Its firm enough to slice and then cut on the plate but deep flavored and tender.
  15. Didn't we deal with Bisto earlier? I'm very happy with More Than Gourmet I find Knorr overly salty which is saying something
  16. You've made me think about how I shop. I pretty much shop around the rim of a store...produce...meat..dairy. and only occasionally venture into the world of cans and bottles and paper towels.
  17. Acme...pure mediocrity in meat and produce Food Lion...good for certain meats. Dirt cheap pork tenderloin and flat iron and brisket. Limited selection otherwise. Giant...less mediocre than Acme. They do carry d'artagnan stuff. And you can buy a goose . Wegmans...not cheap but good selection and meats. Shoprite...not bad

    Roasting tomatoes

    What's the temp and time to cook this beauty?
  20. I've heard it as a gerund as a synonym for complaining. As in "she's always beefing about something"
  21. amazon has cheaper versions of similar items too. I'm reminded of the Big Easy Oil free Fryer (or whatever it was called). Anybody still using one?
  22. What constitutes paella reality?
  23. Re salmon. I'll cook a filet for about 12 min at 275 steam. Gets to 115 in the center. Perfect A trick to stop albumin seepage is to lightly salt the fish 30 min prior.
  24. I like sauteed-till-limp halved and de-seeded cherry tomatoes,shallots and a hint of basil as a "sauce" for grilled fish this time of year. A little OO and salt is all that's added.
  25. So it actually isn't "oak aged" then.
