    Dinner 2023

    It was an old Gourmet recipe. My wife says no cornmeal in it...maybe there should be. Apple pieces are scored and placed in the batter. Turbinado sprinkled on top.

    Superbowl 2023 Food

    We'll be doing tapas of some sort. Pitchers and catchers report next week @Alex
  4. Not exactly an answer....but steam ovens seem to be very problem prone. Cuisinart has withdrawn from the market. FWIW my original cuisinart is still going strong. Maybe you could get one cheap on ebay?
  5. Advertising. Same with hoagies. Why does Subway exist in the Northeast corrider? And I'd add that Domino's is set up to deliver 10 pizzas, so group-leaders tend to dominize
  6. I wouldn't expect much of a Domino pie
  7. Q. Does searing meat lock in juices? ChatGPT. The idea that searing meat locks in juices is a common myth. Searing meat does not actually "seal" in the juices, but it does have some other benefits. When you sear meat, you are exposing it to high heat for a short period of time. This process causes a reaction called the Maillard reaction, which creates a delicious, caramelized crust on the outside of the meat. The crust helps to retain some of the moisture inside the meat and provides a textural contrast to the tender interior. However, it's important to note that the searing process does not actually prevent the juices from escaping. If you were to cut into a seared steak immediately after cooking, you would see that some of the juices have indeed leaked out. That being said, cooking meat to the correct temperature can help retain the juices. By cooking meat to the recommended temperature, you allow the proteins to denature and the juices to redistribute evenly throughout the meat. This helps ensure that the meat remains juicy and tender. In conclusion, searing meat does not lock in juices, but it does add flavor and texture, and cooking the meat to the correct temperature can help retain its juices. Not a bad answer.

  11. That Fresh Direct diagram is interesting. Then they have their own supply chain or they pick out of the first warehouse in the "average grocery store" chain? Is Fresh Direct = Misfits?
  12. A bouncer should slap the shit out of him.
  13. An opportunity for somebody. Those are big brands that I assume sell as well in Canada as the US
  14. Agreed. But an hours long smoke at 95F might well lead to spoilage of fowl and fish. I worry.
  15. LOL. He is a cranky little fellow. But that's his charm. I kissed his ass and we got along. LBF was a sad thing towards the end. In its prime it was exciting and spawned lots of great young cooks including two who won Top Chef https://www.inquirer.com/food/restaurants/georges-perrier-le-bec-fin-chefs-20221217.html
  16. Being an a-hole boss can add to the ambiance of a restaurant, though. I fondly recall sitting at Le Bec Fin and hearing the muffled rants of Perrier in the kitchen. FWIW I've never heard a bad word of him and his alums seem devoted
  17. Looks vintage to me.
  18. @weinoo said Gratin Dauphinois, which is different. This doesn't look like pommes dauphine, which is a potato puff.
  19. Those potatoes look almost like pave.
  20. Smoke tubes are wonderful. You'll have fun!

    Gemelli and sausage
  22. I see one in all these Euro kitchen photos. Very pretty. I've tried and tried to find a need for one....
  23. I was thinking of the Thermomix!
  24. Looking at a similar product https://smile.amazon.com/Philips-HR2204-70-Collection-Stainless/dp/B07G3K9FM8/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3NR91UD9OE3VS&keywords=electric+soup+maker&qid=1675015112&sprefix=electric+soup+maker%2Caps%2C1408&sr=8-3&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.f5122f16-c3e8-4386-bf32-63e904010ad0 and its very frank instruction video... Seems like many things need pre-cooking eg potatoes. And its a roughly 30 minute cook time Maybe not so useful
  25. Might be interesting. A sort of mini-ankarsrum (or whatever @JoNorvelleWalker has that does everything) for a fraction of the price
