  1. I don't think infrared air (oil-less) fryers are new at all. As I recall, the very first attempts at this were the round, glass-bottomed contraptions that used infrared heating (often from a halogen source). You can still find new versions of them out there. (I also seem to recall the very first attempts used a paddle to move the food around the circle.)

    I have tried many different ways of making them. But favorite is still just grilling it plain and then salt and pepper when served. It's the most flavorful to me.

    Dinner 2024

    Bought some more filets on the way home from an event and not enough time to SV them (my normal method). So cooked them normally on the grill - first time I have cooked a steak that way in over 12 years! Came out pretty good, but not as good as SV. Served with steamed cauliflower in butter.

    Our last two dinners were sausage-based. Chicken apple breakfast sausages and potatoes: Bangers and beans:

    Dinner 2024

    Burger with sesame seed bun, lettuce, pickles and thousand island dressing, served with kettle chips.
  7. I have never seen it powdered - only small crystals (about table salt sized). So that would affect the conversion.

    A couple of recent dinners: Shrimp with pasta and peas in butter: Wife came down with cold, so even though it's 103F today, she wanted chicken soup. Chicken, carrots, celery, peas and onion. No noodles.
  9. I have an IR gun (actually two, because I thought one had been lost in the move - it turned up a day after the Amazon return period was up!). I have never used it for cooking. I mainly use it to make sure the grill and smoker temps are low enough to put the covers back on. However, nine times out of ten I forget to put them on until the next day. The good news is that they are pretty inexpensive.

    A couple of filet nights in a row. My wife is having stomach issues and steak is one of the few things that she feels like eating, which is fine with me! Here is one with corn:
  13. I have the freezer bowl style attachment for the Kitchenaid mixer and I haven't used it since I got the Creami.

    They were 2” thick so I had them in the SV bath for 2hrs then a few minutes to sear.

    Dinner 2024

    Chipolatas are typically thinner sausages. The Cumberland recipe has a lot of black pepper in the profile, not sure what else.

    Dinner 2024

    Grilled bangers (pork and herb blend) with reduced stewed tomatoes. The pork and herb bangers were the best of the three types I ordered (regular, pork and herb and "Cumberland" chipolatas). Bangers with stewed tomatoes and/or baked beans is the way I was taught to eat them by my first wife and her family who were British.

    About the 7th consecutive day of 100 degree plus temperatures here, so a cold dinner was called for. Shrimp with carrots, cucumbers, red bell pepper, avocado and a lesson in how not to plate:
