Anova is presently offering $30 off on their website.

That link should go directly to a sample page of the book that has the recipe. When I fire my laptop back up, I'll post the Screenshot I did of it.

Here.

Second the Anova. Mine has a Bluetooth function. I don't use it. It has enough power to cook a Coleman cooler full of ribs (long as you start with hot water, anyway). It's been steady and dependable and done everything I've asked it to do. And they periodically run sales on them.

I don't even want to hear it. You already cost me nine bucks plus tonight for the Six Seasons book. Like I need another freakin' cookbook on my Kindle.

They've got those babies in South Arkansas (the original Razorbacks). They're ugly, big, and mean. They'll kill you in a heartbeat, and eat you; they're omnivores. If I were going to hunt one, or be in the woods where they ranged, I'd want a .300 magnum Model 70 Winchester with me. I have eaten wild hog. It ain't great. You need to soak it at least 24 hours in buttermilk, and then cook the living hell out of it for about a day and a half.

OMG. That looks stunningly wonderful. I may have to get this book on the strength of this recipe (which I have found and saved) alone.

Noticed that. Butter and half-and-half went up, too, but they're still significantly cheaper than Kroger. Since the Masterbilt arrived yesterday, I dropped by today while I was out to see what they had in the meat realm. I walked out with a bottom round roast I plan to corn, and a sirloin tip I plan to smoke for Sunday dinner. I think that, with the Syracuse salt potatoes everyone's been raving about, and some roasted broccoli would be a quite admirable dinner. Also picked up some steelhead trout I plan to brine and then smoke. I've had smoked trout and liked it; might as well try smoking my own. I also ordered an assortment of six different kinds of wood chips -- mesquite, cherry, apple, hickory, alder, and I forget what else. Oh, how much fun new kitchen gadgets are! Any tips from you electric smoker peeps on smoking a sirloin tip? I'm going to have to cut it in half and smoke half of it properly (medium rare) for myself and one daughter, and incinerate the other half for the other daughter and her hubby, who will tolerate no pink in their meat. Philistines that they are.

Perhaps between us we can generate enough brain cells to remember. If not, we will call on the others to help.

Well, I'm glad that mystery is cleared up!

I like mine a lot. I don't use it every day...maybe not even weekly. But I would hate to not have it. It's great for cooking dry beans, and I like it for soups and stews. I rarely use my crock pot any more.

I have eaten a thing called "dessert pizza," with a crust of sugar cookie dough, a "sauce" of sweetened cream cheese, and toppings of fresh fruit. Wasn't bad. I have also had more conventional pizza doughs topped with sweet toppings and baked in a pizza oven. Somewhat less successful, although the turtle cheesecake one the local pizza joint down the street does is pretty good when it's fresh.

Crumble them up and use them as a topping for a fruit crisp.

Many congratulations! (I have no doubt it was the Instant Pot meals that did it...)

Sweet baby.

That's 'cuz y'all don't know how to cook it. Nothing better than fried okra.

These are things one needs to know when on the road!

I've wanted one for ages. I've set up a makeshift smoker on my gas grill, but it leaves much to be desired. Went to the grocery today and spent much time looking at potential things to smoke... Sigh...time was, when I was looking for something potential to smoke, it wasn't meat or fish.

Love my Instant Pot. Love my CSO. Love my Anova. (All purchased, btw, thanks to all you enablers on eGullet!) Would be real hard to pick one. I guess it'd be the CSO, which I use marginally more.

In a word: No.

First time I've cooked in a week (it's been THAT kind of week!) and it was a 30-minute dinner, but it was what I wanted and it hit the spot. Brats poached in beer, homemade sauerkraut, home fries. Topped off with the last of the homemade chocolate cherry ice cream. That with an early night should provide a wonderful night's sleep.

Amazon Warehouse Deals finally came through for me. After watching it on and off for a year or more, it finally coughed up a Masterbilt portable electric smoker for something under half price; I snagged it. It arrives Tuesday. I am about to settle down with a glass of wine and Ruhlman and Polcyn's Charcuterie. I have a couple of nice salmon filets in the freezer; that may be my first effort, and pork belly is not far behind.

God help us all. That's about the nastiest thing I've seen today.

No photos because it was not worth the waste of even a megabyte of space. I now remember why, and how much, I loathe Olive Garden. One of these days I'm going to recruit an Italian restaurant to this town, because there is not one fit for human consumption.
