I'd say that the boiling water is putting water vapor between the plates first, then air perhaps. How much force does it take to open a newspaper? Next to none, even though air is pressing on it. Now how about if the sheets are wet? significantly more, yet air pressure is the same.

The water "glue" evaporated at near max vac. That it didn't fall off at lesser vacuums effectively rules out air pressure as the cause of adherence. Nice experiment.

Oh please, KerriA, grow up. A recurring theme on TC seems to be how immature so many of the cheftesticles are. Is this reflective of the industry or do the Elves look for babies?

You do look familiar...

Though a loving parent, Mom hated cooking and did it badly. Jello molds came out for big occasions. Garlic was a foreign and distrusted spice. Veg were cooked to death. Meat incinerated. It was a revelation when I ate out and had a hamburger that wasn't a hockey puck.

Duck with duck fat fried potatoes and warm orange slaw

great book, that.

Wow, Jo. If you fill in the spaces between the paragraphs you'd have a novel.

The whole oil-dipping thing is irritating to me. Restaurants would have us believe its what classy Euros do with their bread...dip it in garlic-doused oil. I've never seen it in Europe. Butter is not a bad thing.

Mine too. But loose it came.

Old Forge pizza? An upstate aberration. Pennsylvania really is two states. The SE 4 or 5 counties and the rest of the Penn State-rooting, inbreeding, possum-eating backwoods pizza-mutating folk.

Not surprising. A-holes tend to be a-holes.

My Anova 1 cord has removed itself on occasion. A pain. FWIW I find that I use my SV Supreme more than Anova. It sits at the ready in the basement.

I recall slipping a good bit of food to the Airedale at my side. Some things don't change.

No potatoes stuck to the knife blade in the making of this breakfast.

A chamber vac would evaporate the water which is gluing the sheets together. I don't think that a suction cup in a vacuum is a good model for what we are discussing because it fails to account for the water between the panes.

you send him the article about you?

Kale will be their next up and coming veg.

It is clickbait.

More going on than air pressure with the panes of glass. Haven't we been down this road before?

Posting the article at the Kumquat is probably not a copyright problem. Giving it out might be different.

Newborn Pastrami. Cured x 1 week...cold smoked x 45'...cooked at 60C SV for two days. Moist, smoky, spicy brisket. Reuben for lunch tomorrow!

Great piece, Rob! Now I really have to get out there somehow.
