The idea is that I know how many servings I need and make just that amount. Doesn't work for guests who look disappointed if there aren't extra servings.
I've lost respect for them all. Except Beard who was from another age. And the Rombauers for whom I never had respect. You wash things you eat raw not things you cook.
For me it'd be potatoes au gratin by the baking dish-full. I'd eat it all. My solution is to make individual servings in a silicon cup cake pan. Looks pretty, tastes the same, portion controlled.
Pump Motors are rated for 5K hours per warranty and will last much longer if you actually take care of the system - The pump design on the current system is one of the more innovative designs we've cooked up - @ 12 liters(3gal)/min might seem ok just by itself but you can vector the output to any angle allowing you to create good circulation even when you have large bags in the pot. This is especially effective when you have a round pot - you angle the flow around the edge which feeds back into itself. What does "taking care of the system" involve?
I just googled some "french bread, sirloin, green beans" and got a few recipes of unknown quality, but mostly noise. An app that cuts through that wouldn't be a bad thing.
Interesting idea. Might be fun. Quality of recipes will be key. I wouldn't just use any crap recipe that you don't KNOW is good. Must have been tested by a reliable source eg Epicurious.
It is interesting. But I, old fart that I am, resent the idea of single cup machines. It seems like just another way to raise the price of a product. And they won't fill a mug.
I saute romaine or bok choi in butter till decidedly browned. Makes it sweet and nutty tasting. I presume the butter provides all the needed stuff to Maillard the leaves.<br />
I tuned in briefly and caught that absolutely stupid and irrelevant attempt to inject excitement. Next they'll be playing spin the bottle or swapping car keys with the Real Housewives.
