We got one about 15 yrs ago and found our kids didn't like panini, and we were underwhelmed too. Once you cook a Reuben and a cubano....

I wonder if the type of aluminum matters. I have a newer All Clad that has a very black "seasoned" bottom that won't scrub off. Older AC Master Chef bottoms won't take a stain.

I'm getting pretty good about predicting who gets booted. Its not as easy as the red shirt on Star Trek, but not too hard either. Esp in the beginnning.

Exactly. WF and whatever car they drive to get there is paying. KK may get tiresome if she keeps talking about her time on Top Chef. We'll see.

Agreed. I first tried Knorr demiglace...wow, a salt bomb. I have no idea how anybody uses it.

How do you desalt it?

MTG is great stuff. @rotuts Amazon has lots. I wonder if it will still be available there.

SV corned beef (no papain) 145F x 2 days, potatoes cooked in bag juices then browned in butter, and apple juice and vinegar -braised red cabbage.

I distrust foraged mushrooms, cooked or raw. Too much room for error. Kidney and liver problems show up late and sneaky.

@Wampa Nicely done!

Here are details. In brief, a small red cabbage SV at 185 x 4 or more hours in butter...then seared in a hot pan...spiced with harissa or allspice...or whatever...drizzled with honey or sriracha honey...toasted breadcrumbs perhaps. I haven't made it in a while.....

A local Beard-nominated place, Bardea Steak, has a spiced sous vide red cabbage wedge with honey that is just great.

I have the same problem occasionally with ground pork and beef. I always blame the supermarket, but I've never bothered to grind my own.

The secret is out. https://www.foodandwine.com/st-john-caribbean-travel-guide-6823504?taid=65ed1c21b68d4b0001d05a89&utm_campaign=foodandwine&utm_content=link&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com

Pork schnitzel, carrots rapee, mashed potatoes.

I've had two Brevilles over the years. Loved them both. Our kids have them and love them too. Maybe Canadian Tire sells refurbished lemons?

I'm not a fan of the color blue at all. I might well have passed on that restaurant, though the food looked good.

What a beautiful thing! Italian sausage sandwiches w peppers and onions They will eat a TON of food.

I'm sure that they modeled the heck out of this and decided it was a winner. Their announcement though was pretty ham-fisted.

Don't really need it, but why not?

I use minibottles for cooking wine.

I'm a complete convert to no-boil. They are compact and similar to homemade. There are tricks though. Barilla says that its a 30 minute bake. Nope. Its 55 minutes. And soak the dry noodles for 10 minutes before assembly. I make a bechamel lasagna. Don't stint on the sauce. I test the lasagna for noodle doneness at 50 minutes.

And even if true, the data was tissue paper thin and not enough to base practice on.

@Deephaven I look forward to photos of the kitchen re-do and reports of the new stove.
