  1. @rotuts Excellent hash. Crust is key. I recommend their no beans chili with a can of diced tomatoes and a shot of tabasco...and some added meat
  2. Pressure cooking will kill spores. Perhaps not the toxins left in the food by fungi. I'd discard spoiled veg

    @Kim Shook "Aldi Red Bag chicken (frozen prepared boneless fried chicken breasts" Breaded and fried and then frozen?
  4. MSG and caffeine. What could happen?

    4th of July

    I sous vide it for several hours. Wonderfully tender and tasty done that way and finished over charcoal.
  8. Getting on a stool to retrieve a dish of hot stuff sounds like a scald in the making. For that matter, a steam oven with a face-high door is a potential scald too.
  9. Re the charge that recipes "were appropriated without credit to past employees". Most contracts in my field have a clause saying that anything you invent while in the employ is property of the employer. And recipes are not patentable. And I've never seen attribution of a dish's inventor on any menu. Is this particular accusation of Ms Koslow nonsense?
  10. On convection mode the BSO lowers the temp and it displays the new one. Overengineering to be sure. Is this what's happening?

    Dinner 2020

    Flat iron steak with reduced balsamic red peppers and salad
  12. Kokonis's response to criticism over the corona dish is much worse than the dish itself. Tone-deaf, arrogant, self-absorbed. I always wanted to eat there, now I have no desire at all. He should've just said "yeah, we weren't thinking clearly" and moved on.
  13. The public are morons. Flat learning curve.

  15. Was it actually 4 years since you went back? Seems like last year.

    Dinner 2020

    @Kim Shook Thanks! It was nice, if a little dry. Whipped cream fixed that but next time, I'd pave the bottom with apricots and maybe put some inside too. Usually we make it with plums which are juicier

    Dinner 2020

    from memory...it was 1/3 cup drained oil-packed sundried tomatoes...chopped 1 cup mayo 1 room temp box of cream cheese 1/2 tbsp sriracha 1.5 tbsp finely diced shallots salt and generous ground pepper I mixed the mayo and cheese in a small processor and folded the rest in by hand. Its best after resting overnight or at least a few hours.

    Fourth of July Dinner (potatoes not shown) Ina Garten's sundried tomato dip (highly recommended) Charred corn, tomato, onion, thyme, basil salad Smoked and SVd brisket, pre sauce Apricot upsidedown cake
  19. Interesting how the different supermarkets are restocking as the covid thing wanes. Giant is still out of their best stuff. Food Lion, a down market chain, is keeping what good meat it sells in stock. They have a house brand of vac packed meats that's cheap and good. I just loaded up on flat irons and brisket at a great price.

    I make them thinner than you would for grilling. They seem to swell a little when done SV
  21. They all were. No issues. I posted the photos somewhere in an eG thread with in a year. ETA I searched it ("mushroom paper") and found the post from October 2019 in the Stuffed Mushroom thread.

  22. Not too long ago I compared paper bag vs plastic for mushroom storage. Over a week, the plastic bag ones lost almost no weight and looked fine. The paper bag ones were something like 50% lighter and much much smaller.

    Smoking Meat

    Completely agree. Wet wood makes acrid smoke/steam which tastes lousy. That the advice to wet the chips persists is testimony to the lack of observation and thought of some of the experts. But there's a lot of that in cooking, isn't there?

    Great point! TT is hard to find around here too. Costco doesn't carry it and butchers want $$$ for it. Fortunately there is Wegmans and WF not too too far away
