I just remembered that America's Test Kitchen had a segment on Millionaire's shortbread. This is available on-line for those interested. Their caramel layer consists of: 1 can sweetened condensed milk 1 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup white corn syrup 8 T unsalted butter, cut in small pieces 1/2 t salt 1/2 cup whipping cream. This was cooked over medium heat to between 236 and 239F, stirring 9nce in a while. I have never been able to make this successfully and plan on giving this recipe a shot one day.

Had my first perfectly poached egg this morning, cooked at 183F for exactly 5 minutes. Runny yolk, set but soft white. Nice to know that I can duplicate this with ease.

So is Canada. I've never seen so much pumpkin stuff.

@JoNorvelleWalker Ooooh, that looks good!

I bought some chocolate the other day that I am going to temper in the control freak. I'll report back.

Me neither. I like walls around my mess.

Thai red curry beef over rice.

We went through this also. The end result was well worth it. Our kitchen was completely gutted and I still have this image of one of our cats, sitting there, peering in and looking from side to side as if to say "where did the kitchen go"?

@boilsover Re: your no. 5. Do you live in a hot climate?

Those are amazing pictures of amazing scenery. I'm hoping there are many more to come.

How thick was your cod?

Korean Short Ribs done in the 6 qt. and Spicy Sesame Noodles and Vegetables done in the 3 qt. I actually got the timing right such that both were ready for tonight's dinner at the same time. That doesn't always happen.

Welcome! And, may I say, nice chocolates.

@shain when you say the egg was fully liquid, do you mean raw?

I am going to bake some cheddar bay biscuits today in the CSO. Do I bake them on regular convection bake setting or the bread setting? Is the bread setting only for yeasted breads?

King Arthur Flour also sells black cocoa powder.

I don't peel either and after they are cooked, a hand mill takes care of the seeds and skins.

I made Heston Blumenthal's french fries tonight using russet potatoes. I didn't find them all that much work and the CF makes cooking them a snap. The frying times were spot on, the first step, simmering the potatoes took 23 minutes. I'm going to do a "normal" double fry next time and see if the total lapsed time is worth it.

Tonight we had chicken teriyaki burgers. Rather different. On the bun was sriracha mayonnaise, grilled pineapple and grilled red onions. The buns were buttered, topped with unsweetened coconut and broiled. I'd do them a bit differently next time but they were pretty good. Served with Heston Blumenthal's french fries done on the control freak. One of us had them with ketchup.😬

If I could eat at your house every day, I just might become a vegetarian. Beautiful food.

Actually I don't have the recipe. I'm just going to follow the method you posted and the notes I took from watching his video.
