Picked these up at Costco yesterday. They are called pineberries and look like anemic strawberries. Ever had them?

These are baked? They look delicious.

Thanks. I "think" ketjap manis could replace the soy sauces and the rock sugar.

Picture # 2 reminded me of headless, tail-on shrimp. They sure all look good!

Can you elaborate on your grandma's version? I'm a big fan of ketjap manis.

I'm looking forward to your posts!

Thanks for the reminder about the drip pan. I hadn't given it a thought until you mentioned it.

I ended up phoning Schwarz in Montreal. They told me the meat is cooked, I need to steam it on the stove for 2 hours. They said to test for tenderness, stick a fork in it and if it comes out clean, it's done. If it doesn't give it a bit more time. Would steaming it in the CSO for 2 hours at 210F as @KennethT suggests work? I'm pretty sure I can also heat this sous vide but I have never used the steam only setting on the CSO and thought to try it.

I checked the chicken yesterday at a store where I do the bulk of my shopping and both turkey and chicken had no additives of any sort.

I have a 3 1/2 pound smoked meat brisket. The label suggests steaming it for 1 1/2 hours. I wondered if I could steam it in the CSO. If I can, what temperature would I set it at and do I steam it wrapped in foil (doesn't sound right) or totally unwrapped? Thanks!

Thanks. I figured that was probably the case. Good price, though.

Frozen or fresh?

Which supermarket is this?

Except it's expensive on Amazon.ca and out of stock at Amazon.com

Well, I'll just hope right over! It's only 426 miles each way and Google informs me the trip will take 6 hours and 38 minutes each way.🙂

Thanks for this. I checked it out and they charge $13 for shipping. There used to be someone in Ottawa who sold modernists Cuisine products, I'm going to check with him to see 1) if he still does and 2) if not, will he sell me some of his stash.

I just spent too much time looking at the Modernist Pantry site. What I learned was if I spent $8.00 on Evercrisp the shipping would cost a bit over $28. US funds so add another appx. 33%. Sigh.

Is our equivalent to Wondra Robin Hood's Easy Blend flour?

@JoNorvelleWalker Thank you for explaining this so well. I appreciate it.

I've seen that quite often. I just cut the brown bits out.

We do well here. I am a flats person, John prefers the drummies.

What is the vacuum method?

@Kim Shook Where was the Vitamix thingy purchased?

Thanks for bringing us along. I have never been there, despite the fact I have family there. I really should go, now that I know where to eat!

Me too.
