Thanksgiving=Thanksgorging Lot's of cooking and nonstop eating. dcarch Smoked pork shoulder, crispy pork skin Roasted duck on chestnut stuffing, Crispy duck skin Grilled prime rib Crabs Some veggies Some sweets, home made tiramisu

Imagine my panic! I promised everyone to make tiramisu for TG dinner and found empty shelves. Lot's of Half&Halfs, no whipping cream. After visited many stores buying many cans of cream-in-a-spray can, I found a few boxes of real heavy cream. Now what should I do with all those spray cans? 🤫 dcarch

Yes, weight + gravity + speed = total force of impact. My four tools for bone cutting: Top cleaver, good enough for chicken bones. The saw, I don't use. Bottom, good enough for pork ribs. Notice the front edge has extra metal for added weight, and the extra length of the handle which will give you lots of speed when you swing the cleaver down. The fourth? My table saw in my shop for large bones like in pork butts. It takes 5 seconds without effort. dcarch

Agree. That's why all wood rots, sooner or later. dcarch

I don't have a bone to pick with your argument. dcarch 😁

One large whole tail sectioned to about 1 3/4" thick. Frozen solid for vacuum packing. 90 hours at 129.5F 5 hours at 141F 5 hours at 145F Final torching a few minutes to brown Gravy done separately with juice from bag at 95 hours. dcarch

Research is good, or you can follow the many posts here in this forum, you will find crazy people like me, who recently posted an oxtail dish that was sous vide cooked 100 hours. People who shared the meal exclaimed, "No way! oxtails can't be this tender and flavorful." BTY, oxtail is very expensive here in the US, especially If you factor in bones and fat layer, Most expensive cut of beef. dcarch

When a curve meets another curve, the point of contact is very small, as a result the force of impact (PSI) increases significantly, which is what you need to split a bone. dcarch

LOL, That is very cleaver. dcarch

Happy Halloween! Black pasta (squid ink), 100-hour oxtail with ginkgo nuts from our own garden. dcarch

Amazing setup. Congratulations. He is a keeper for sure. Another option for other DIYs who do not have a KA to try - Today's 1/2" cordless brushless electric drills are extremely powerful and the battery long lasting per charge. A much smaller power source that is reversible, with variable speed control. The installation/detachment of the rotating pan is easy without the need for using tools. dcarch

1. Sometimes the cookware can be making noise. 2. Sometimes the large magnetic induction coil can be making noise. 3. In general, induction cooktops use a brushless motor driven fan, which is noiseless. The noise mostly is from air turbulence caused by not having enough circulation space. By lifting the cooktop about 1/2" sometimes helps a lot. dcarch

Simple for me. I sharpen a few tea spoons, not as sharp as a knife, use them to scoop out the "meat". Very efficient. No waste. The same kiwi spoons are also my avocado spoons. dcarch

When you don't feel like cooking ---- I made sashimi . Leftover rice, No cooking involved. Just lots of slicing 😋 dcarch

I have a few cans which say "Chicken Of The Sea" dcarch

She will always be alive in my mind. dcarch

I admire their desire for good plating design.😆 dcarch

It seems to me they do use a lot of vegetable oil for stir frying not fat. They don't use cheese, cream, etc in cooking. May be that explains why Asians on the average, lives 7 year longer than other ethnic groups. Also, obesity is not a common problem in Asian societies. dcarch

Office furniture suppliers. They have wall hung metal storage cabinets of all shapes and capacities. You maybe able also to find non-ventilated locker room metal cabinets. Mice, racoon proof. dcarch

In the very beginning when I first started BBQing and smoking, the smoker had a small bottle hooked up at the low point of the chimney. Some time later the bottle collect a lot of black mess. I asked an expert what he called that stuff in the bottle . He said, "Cancer In A Bottle" dcarch

Interesting article. Interesting also not one word was mentioned about creosote. dcarch

Below dew point. 😉 dcarch

The amount of leftover ash also substantially depends on burn temperature, and shape of the burner. Ash is extremely light, it flies up with hot air current. The hotter the burn, the "chimney effect" gets stronger. dcarch

And the charger plugs into 110VAC outlet? and you have an AC outlet above the sink? If you have an AC outlet above the sink, why not just get a 110VAC LED light that is significantly brighter? dcarch

Those LED lights are good, except you do need to recharge them (only 2000 mah when the battery is new). Or you can do this: Portable Charger Power Bank (10,000 to 26800mah), they are not expensive and not big, you can probably find space under cabinet to velcro one. Hook one up and you may need to recharge once a year. BTW, you can change the light colors. dcarch
