  1. Not for me. I'm opposed to pointless technology. And The North Koreans might hack my dinner.

    Burger King

    Given food allergies and litigious customers, I don't think BK's lawyers would let them feed mystery food to anyone in the US.

    Burger King

    What a really bad idea.

    Mandolines

    Who among us has not learned both of those mandoline lessons? I'd add don't use a mandoline while another person is jabbering at you
  5. Didn't you go through this before?
  6. An unusual lacuna in your otherwise impeccable taste
  7. I’d say bake...no steam. The reason chips soften, I believe, is that the salt attracts water and crispness goes away. Baking ought to drive it off. One fly in the ointment is CSO is so steam tight that moisture in the food stays in the oven and very wet foods , eG cauliflower, will steam cook even on the ‘no steam” setting. But chips aren’t that wet
  8. A big crock. Keeps them vertical and sort of organized
  9. We've had soapstone for two years. There's a ding or two, but that adds character right? I'm very happy with it.
  10. Or put in a baffle to redirect the steam vented

    Dinner 2019

    Air Fryer pork tenderloin Parmesan (Breville SOA) using the pressed panko method mentioned on the air fryer thread. Duck confit tossed in reduced balsamic and risotto
  12. @andiesenji I find battered food tough to get right. It sticks to the grating too much. I've taken the approach of having a dry "batter" with toasted and seasoned panko that I press into a salted piece of chicken and chill. I've also been having success battering just one side of a piece of meat and having the naked side face the tray. I'd ( obviously) test fresh and frozen fries and tots and frozen mozzarella sticks and the like.
  13. Put it in your standard oven. Probably won’t use it much with a CSO on the counter
  14. I'm mildly surprised that CK didn't give himself a laurel wreath like Julius Caesar.
  15. Not a problem. Just ask me. My definition is definitive.
  16. All of this club quibbling is related to a major peeve of mine. Dishes with established names...eg a Reuben...should be made according to spec. Don’t call a turkey sandwich on whole wheat with cole slaw and Swiss a Reuben of any sort. Don’t make veal saltimbocca with a brown sauce. Etc.
  17. My wife..."Don't we already have one of those?" as the FedEx truck rolls away
  18. Orange soda and Mountain Dew are fit only for teenagers.
  19. Cheese is a fine addition to a sandwich. Just not on a club.
  20. That phone number is registered to Woody's BBQ in California.
  21. The website says discontinued with a certain finality. Perhaps another model is coming?
  22. I'm not so sure that adding a few chemicals will give raw ethanol the full body of a great scotch. I'd imagine that there are hundreds of flavor molecules in scotch, the sum of which gives the taste. This effort may run afoul of NAFTA and EU liquor definitions which I assume stipulate aging as a part of being scotch. I know they played hell with the definition of bourbon, labeling Tennessee paint remover (Jack D) as a legitimate bourbon .
  23. Strawberries need maceration and the resultant juice if served with shortbread, I think. Not exactly a spice, but a modification. Cinnamon in apple pie is no crime to me. And a little salt never hurt anything that's sweet.
