Including the carrot and red pepper?

@Okanagancook I only have a Foodsaver which as you know, doesn't work with liquid. If I use the water displacement method I'd be worried about how the Foodsaver by would hang in for a lengthy cook. Any suggestions? I've had those beef cheeks for a while (and pork cheeks) and it really is time I did something with them. I kinda like tge suggestion of the IP.

@blue_dolphin I like everything on your plate but what I am sitting here lusting after are those tomatoes.

This is the one I use. I don't know how it ranks with the others. I buy it at a Korean store.

I have. We like it a lot. I think I am on my third tub. If you want a few tried and true recipes send me an pm and I will send you some.

And for how long do you cook them in the pressure cooker?

I have some beefcheeks in the freezer. Are you allowed to say what other "usual suspects" go into the bag with the cheeks?

And thank you from me too.

That looks awesome. What did you stuff them with?

Maybe you could take one for the team?

Me three, once it warms up enough for me to be able to do the frying part outside.

Question: if you are finishing it in the IP doesn't that affect the crispness of the chicken?

What did you add to the cauliflower rice?

I tried the oil test again and got much better results. I waited to take the temperature until the probe informed me that the target temperature had been reached. We used a stainless steel pan, and added more oil to make sure the probe was in deep enough. The probe was at least 2" into the oil. Probe set to target temp reached probe read-out Thermapen temp. As per probe 250 250 259 259 275 275 282 280 300 300 278 274 325 325 331 328 350 350 353 353 375 375 375 371 385 385 385 381 Much improved and I can live with that. I also got a message that the surface temperature of 410 had been reached. I assume that is as hot as the TT gets? Anyone know what that means? Why can you set the surface temperature?

First time I have ever heard of parsnip in a quick bread.

Good news. I tried my little test with water in a stainless steel pan. I started at 110, and increased it by increments of 10 degrees until I got to 160 when I bumped it up to 180. All the readings were off by only 1 degree, on the high side. I'm okay with that.

I just had a chat with my husband and he wondered if the difference in the readings could be attributed to where the sensors are in the probe vs. The Thermopan. Guess I will have to repeat the test as I want to be sure I raise the right questions with the TT people. It seems odd to me that they would produce something that is so far off.

Today I heated a a pan of peanut oil and set the target temperature to 250, 275, 300, 325 and 335. Once the app notified me that the target temperature had been feached, I took the temperature with my thermapen. I kept measuring the temperature of the oil until i got a consistent reading. Target 250F, stabilized at 304F a difference of 57 F. It took 19 minutes. Target 275, stailized at 331, a difference 0f 56F this took 29 minutes. Target 300, stabilized at 356, a difference of 56. This took 12 minutes. Target 325, probe refused to go above 322, stabilized at 379, so i'm calling it a difference of 57. This took 17 minutes. It should be noted that when I set the probe to 325, i realized I hadn't turn on the stove fan. I don't know if that had anything to do with it but I wanted you to know. Target 335, stabilized at 331,Thermapen read 390, a difference of 59 degrees. This took 7 minutes. Since I have no reason that I can will be deep frying at a temperature higher than the above I called it a day. I am presently repeating the exercise using water as I want to see how accurate it is for sous vide purposes.

@CanadianHomeChef sent a pm

I once had a secretary who wore these slippers one day, all day, with some sort of animal's head sculpted on top of it. I forget what sort of animal it was, but it put a smile on everyone's face. The biggest smile might have been mine.

This is the reply I got from the TT people which is rather useless. I have not yet responded. My husband is of the opinion that the Thermopen and the TT probe should read the same temperature. It was interesting that when doing the water test, the probe and the Thermapen read the same. That water was heated in a regular stainless steel pot. I will do some further testing, including heating the oil in a stainless steel pan. James (Tasty Shop) Jan 8, 20:55 EST Hey Tasty Fan! We're sorry to hear that you're not completely satisfied with your Tasty One Top experience. We’re always trying to improve both the One Top and Tasty app, but we really don’t have direct insight to decisions made by our Product team. However, the Tasty product team does review all feedback related requests Is it an issue with the heating up process, is it intermittent? With the probe clips just double check they are not damaged in any way. I am genuinely sorry that you are having issues with the One Top. But if you do have any further queries let us know, we're always happy to help! Regards,

I forgot to mention that I was deep frying in a cast iron enamel pot. The probe is on the short side and the clasp thd probe fits into does not fit snugly on the rim of the pot. In fact, the thing fell off three times, twice ending up In the hot oil.

I used my TT the first time tonight to deep fry frozen sweet potato fries. The instructions said to try them at 350. I set the probe for that temperature and waited. I tested it periodically with my Thermapen. It quickly became apparent that the probe and the Thermapen were not on the same page, so to speak. I adjusted the probe to 300 to get the oil to settle at 350. I tested a couple of fries, that went well, and I shut it off until it was time to eat at which time i turned it back on and re-set the temperature to 300. This time the oil reached 366 so I adjusted the probe again, downwards to 290 and waited. The oil then went down to 350 and I fried my fries. I guess i can live with the discrepancy IF that temperature difference is consistent, as my main reason for buying the TT was to be able to hold the oil at a consistent temperature. I plan on sending the TT people a copy of this note and I will let you know what they have to say. Has anyone else done anything with theirs?

@mm84321 what are the dishes?

A loaf of bread machine brioche. It rose a bit too much and was pressed against the top of the machine while baking, but it is tasty stuff.
