  1. My sense is that 6 hours would not be bad, but I cannot say that I know that for a fact.
  2. Martha Stewart is taking some pretty gross food pix and tweeting them. Comically bad photos. http://www.buzzfeed.com/rachelzarrell/someone-needs-to-tell-martha-stewart-her-food-tweets-are-dis
  3. Bacon and brown sugar for acorns halves. I've broiled rings of acorn and then filled the centers with mashed yams flavored with a little sugar, liquid smoke and chipotle powder. Nice so long as one shows restraint with the chipotle.
  4. This is tasty http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2013/11/sous-vide-deep-fried-turkey-porchetta-recipe.html?ref=box_latest
  5. What difference do you expect from the higher temperauture? Did you ever go to 72 hours? Just curious. I would like a little more doneness. I like the rich flavor of traditionally braised ribs. Never done 72 hrs but I think I'd goose up the temp before the time.
  6. I coincidentally did the experiment of short ribs at 24 vs 48h at 141F. 48 H is far superior. better gelatinization, more tender, tastier. I think I'd do 143F next time though
  7. My sense is that WF pricing is OK for standard things, but over the top for the upper level stuff.
  8. Are they made of recycled paper? Hmmm?

    Roast Swan

    It is really the truth. In the eastern US these big aggressive zoo-escaped birds screw-up native bird's nesting sites and fish spawning beds. They should be exterminated like the lion fish in the Caribbean. edited to add. you could eat them
  10. Words to live by, Mitch.
  11. ever try pressure cooking it?
  12. Must be defective. Mine is rock steady

    Dinner! 2013 (Part 5)

    I made Kenji Alt's turkey "porchetta" tonight. http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2013/11/sous-vide-deep-fried-turkey-porchetta-recipe.html?ref=box_latest Breast butterflied, stuffed with sage/garlic/S&P, wrapped with turkey skin, cooked SV then pan fried to crisp up the skin. Really good.
  15. Short rib sandwich with horseradish cheddar and jus.
  16. Using the water that you use to rehydrate shiitakis is a useful old trick.

    Sauerkraut

    Do you have a picture of the lid?
  18. You need an Airedale in the yard.
  19. or Pierogi perhaps.

    Dinner! 2013 (Part 5)

    Braised short rib with buttery potatoes and a hunk of bread. Perfect for this nasty cold day.
  21. I agree. Something is weird here with the temperature.
  22. I use a big polyethylene storage container. Not sexy like Cambro, but it works and is sturdy.
  23. Artisanal cast iron costs money...
  24. Anything one could do at home to salvage a drowned unit?
