If it lasted you for five or six jobs you could bury the cost in a slight increase in fees. Of course the job that it died during would have a problem. And ghetto sous vide is fine for warming stuff.
Yes, quality is the worry.Heating elements live forever, but not temp probes or motors. And this unit looks like the motor must be tiny. But at $169....
Shrimp pane, a Pepin recipe, shrimp bound together with a shrimp mousse, bread-crumbed and pan fried. On romaine with sherry vinegar/hazelnut oil. JPWCthose spinach/cheese quenelles look great!
So here's my latest failed tea egg. Boiled x 5 minutes, cracked vigorously, then boiled for 20 minutes in soy/tea/spice/caramel color mix. Then sit for two days in the fridge in the tea mixture. The membrane got good color...
Hard boiled eggs can hold all sorts of stuff in a gluten free way. Besides deviled egg, you might fill with lox+onion+caper, a reuben-type filling(broiled or torched), or chinese dumpling meat.
Yes indeed. Lots of ways to get sick...wreck your liver...die from wild mushrooms. If you want to forage for greens and moss like Redzepi,( or Euell Gibbons if anyone remembers him) that's different.
Steingarten talked about doing this prior to being a reviewer for Vogue, as a preparation. I think it in The Man Who Ate Everything. IIRC he never got to liking Greek food.
I got this recipe http://www.saveur.com/article/Kitchen/saveur-100-tea-eggs from Saveur for those stained glass-looking eggs. Clearly one cannot boil 5 eggs in a half cup of soy, so this recipe is a bummer without even trying it. But every other recipe I can google up fails when I try it. At best I get a faintly stained egg after a couple days in the tea/soy/spice fluid. Letting it go a week is no better. So does anyone know the trick?
