When families sell to private equity it is nearly guaranteed that their business will either fail or change for the worse. I don't begrudge them for selling. It's a business after all and they should take the best offer. But I do tire of PE ruining a good business because they don't want to actually run it and maintain quality.

I do 36 to 48 depending on my mood

SV for 52 hours?

Beautiful. How'd you do the sprouts?

@Kerry Beal That frigging Amsterdam passport machine rejected me too.

I go bare handed unless there is a pest in the kitchen to distract me, then its a kevlar glove.

I love my slicer. Its a simple model that can only adjust the thickness of the cut, but I use it at least weekly. What brand is that @weinoo ?

Yes you can, but the darker it is the less thickening you get from it

Charcuterie and small plates. Braised chorizo and butter poached shrimp with pimenton and sherry vinegar

We eat tortuga up here.

I've wondered about that warranty issue. It sounds like some part of a non-compete agreement with home-use brands (perhaps because Costco sells both). Certainly a home kitchen is a less damaging place than a commercial kitchen.

Me too!

Knorr is way too salty for me, and I love salt. MTG and BTB are my choices. Esp MTG. Goya makes powdered bullion packets that I keep handy too.

We have a great big one about 10 miles away. Great stuff, cheap in comparison consumer stores. Maybe $15 for a 3 qt sauce pan etc. My favorite pans aren't the all- clads or calphalons, it the ones from this place that I reach for . And look at this price on a restaurant stove! A bigger Garland was $1000 more. And they'd need insulation (or distance) to meet code for a home, but still. Our old oven was a Vulcan rescued from a restaurant. Great equipment.

tHAT'S THE GOOD STUFF!

Good idea! One could load charcoal on the roof in a Dutch Oven manner too. The shape of the genesis lid may restrict the height of this thing, though

I have a few pans in a seldom used oven

I have a GE profile French Door bottom freezer which is a complete POS. Between leaks and malfunctions, the ice maker was a disaster. I shut it off. Controls are shot too. I check the temp with a laser thermometer. Blue Star range is a workhorse/beast. I love it. @mumkin you'll be pleased. Minimal electronics so there's little to go wrong. Only weakness is the simmer is a bit hot. We use a heat diffuser and its fine. Kitchenaid DW is fine. @weinoo I see you have that CSO door ajar. Smart move!

The MSDS for Easy Off. Caustic stuff...NaOH http://www.rbnainfo.com/MSDS/US/EASY-OFF-Oven-Cleaner-Heavy-Duty-US-English.pdf

I have a bad feeling about easy off here

She whips cream by shaking the carton?

My adult children put ketchup on hot dogs. I blame their mother.

I braise the cabbage and onion in apple juice with a few tbsp cider vinegar and a bit of allspice. Salt and pepper

Looks like a Ralph

Miso salmon and broccolini for V day dinner with a local wine, Silk by VaLa Vinyards. Gets great reviews. We liked it.
