    Top Round (beef)

    Without reading all the old comments...I've braised it and cooked sv like a short rib, and made corned beef the usual way but cooked for 2 days sv
  2. Cinder is making a mistake by pitching this as the next step after SV. Its a really precise griddle. That's enough in itself. I don't need to replace SV, but I'm happy for a better griddle. But I want it built in and not another thing on the counter

    Salad (2011 - 2015)

    I have always liked potatoes in salads. In this case arugula and pickled cauliflower with new potatoes. Host's note: this inspiring topic continues here.
  4. Wrote some great cookbooks. Was almost responsible for the extermination of redfish. Great cook.

    Just fabulous stuff BK! I can't wait to see what it looks like.

    No more travel to China I guess.

    Glad you are back BK
  8. The McD at LAX and ORD are critical. Have they gone too?
  9. Hmmm. Polyscience is overpriced. Does Breville actually have a product for SV?

    Dinner 2015 (Part 5)

    Hot gabagool is great stuff.
  11. WHYY is so frustrating. Fundraisers half the time and erratic programming.

    Dinner 2015 (Part 5)

    Half of a humongous d'artagnan moulard duck breast (via Costco) with lingonberry demiglace. Could easily have served three people generously with one breast. Also sauteed romaine, mashed pots, roasted cauliflower. Costco online has a deal where they ship you 8 giant breasts and 8 already confite-d legs for something like $150. It sounds high, but if you consider that $20 will buy you a puny frozen duckling with a breast as big as a hot dog that won't feed one then it is almost cheap. You miss a whole bird's rendered duck fat, but there will be about 1/2 cup of it in the pan when you sear t he breast.
  13. Just tell me that you made the Miracle Whip from scratch.
  14. There was some construction around there too. Couldn't have helped
  15. The CDN thermometer is pretty cheap ($16) and fast. The description says 6 seconds, its more like 2 or 3. NSF rated too.http://smile.amazon.com/CDN-DTQ450X-ProAccurate-Quick-Read-Thermometer/dp/B0021AEAG2/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1443964436&sr=8-11&keywords=kitchen+thermometer
  16. Good food, decent location, but its gone.
  17. I just went to Moore Bros in Wilmington. What a contrast to the PLCB stores... great selection of great wines... super knowledgeable staff...sensible prices. .
  18. Mmmpomps link did the trick. Precooked the potato and then corn starched the chicken. 7 min on parchment gave decent browning and nicely cooked chicken. The cornstarch made the potato stick well and it could be cut through without losing the scales. It was a fiddling business layering the oily floppy scales by hand. Forceps were needed to get a nice look....which this doesn't have.
  19. Same problem with the excellent Breville Smart Oven. Stuff cooks faster, even without convection. Not sure why...more accurate temps?
  20. Can you make a baffle to redirect the steam?

    So how was Kenji's FC, Patrick?
  22. I saw that cheesesteak fest notice. Might be good if the steaks are prepared a la minute. If not it'll be like the dreck at the ballpark.
  23. Velveeta and ro-tel is the official version of queso dip. Chef-y variations weaken it. Like when a serious restaurant does their take on a cheesesteak...always crappy.
  24. Myoglobin is what makes meat juices red. You can call it anything you want but the red is myoglobin.
