Thanks guys. I didn't make the scrapples. Shoprite has them. I had not seen beef scrapple before either. Tasted about the same. just firmer texture. Scrapple is great in fried rice, ravioli, omelets -------------. $1.85 a lb. dcarch

Ask an engineer, according to the laws of physics, the weakest link in a chain theory, there is no possible way you can make pulled noodles becuase the weak spot in a strain of noodle will get weaker much sooner and break faster. Therefore I conclude that all the pulled noodle demonstrations and videos are illusions and magic tricks. :-). I have tried high gluten, low gluten, and no gluten, lye water --------, nothing worked so far. dcarch

Too many great creations to comment on! It's the Olympics of the gastronomic world! Records are being broken on every taste frontier! Just a couple of very humble and cheap quick dishes. Pork Scrapple and Beef Scrapple. People ask me what is Scrapple? I said "Gray Slime". LOL! dcarch

Google translate inept at translating Chinese? I have no idea what you're talking about. ""King on foot, his hands hold two one stretch, a jitter rejection documented on two head cross left hand grip, right thumb and middle finger grasp the middle section into the other end, and homeopathic right outside the direction doubled stretch shaking in surface stretch long." Yep, I'll be a bad-ass noodle maker in no time now. I was told, with Google Translate in one language, the following translation from one to the other: The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak becomes: The wine is good, but the meat is terrible. dcarch

----------------Point taken about the kickstarter device being small scale and thus harder to market at low prices. In addition, a commercial product will need to have liability insurance, advertising cost, middleman cost --------------------. dcarch

It's like a balloon which helps the fish to float or sink by inflating or deflating. dcarch

There shouldn't be any problem. dcarch

No it does no damage to the tips, but you can alway put a piece of duct tape on the magnet. As one other post above stated, normal magnetic holders can scratch knife surfaces. I like this because the knives dry better and I can hang more knives in the same space. There is one "problem" with this rare earth magnet. It magnetizes your carbon knives. When you sharpen your knife, it picks up the iron filings and you have to wipe them away. dcarch

You may want to try this: Get some rare earth (Neodymium) magnets on eBay and glue them under the cabinet some place. These are extremely powerful magnets, capable of hanging your knives by their tips along. Better space saving than those magnetic bars you buy. Or you can salvage from your old hard drives. There are two rare earth magnets inside. dcarch

I think the place may be illegal construction. In addition to fire safety issues, I don't know you can file for a pemit in NY with no consideration for A.D.A. compliance. dcarch

Thanks everyone. Rice paper can be steamed, fried and deep fried, depending on the recipes. However, using a waffle iron, I may be the first one. LOL! It is so quick, easy using a non-stick waffle iron. dcarch

I was there, I left without eating. You have to pass the kitchen thru a long narrow passageway to get to a packed dining room. I couldn't see a way you could exit if there was a fire in the kitchen. None of the construction is fire-proofed. I did not see a sprinkler system. Tell me I was wrong. dcarch

Please tell me I'm not the only one seeing a Picasso here! I agree, very impressive creations, unbelievable diversity, artistic and skillful! ----------------------------------------- Sous vide rack of lamb dcarch

Rice paper is easy and fun to use. Whatever ingredients and leftovers you have just wrap it up. You don't always have to have a recipe. What have you made with rice paper? A few I have made: Beef Pancake Deep fried rice paper and garden tomatoes. Chicken “Dumplings” Spring Roll with Snow crab meat, on Squash and Black Rice dcarch

Ain't no body is going to mess with my maters! dcarch

Normal chemical agents are very effective; however, they can only work by direct contact. When you spray, I am not sure you actually can cover more than 80% of the surface area. All the surfaces between the droplets will not be sanitized. UV light is a very effective germicidal electromagnetic wave which is used in many laboratories, industrial and medical facilities. You can even get a UV module for you home A/C system. How effective is UV light depends on how powerful and how long you use it. Most UV wands I think are less than 10 watts of power. I don’t have any idea how much power is good enough, so I got myself a bulb that is 55 Watts just to be safe. Obviously you should not be exposed to UV light, so I use an extension cord to turn it on and off. The light should be portable so that you can move it around to minimize shadows. Also UV light can bleach certain materials. dcarch

Re: Bar Keeper's; bars used to have brass sinks, plumbing, counters, etc. I don't use any chemicals for cleaning. I clean with mild soap, then once in a while I use a 55 Watt germicidal UV light to kill all microbes, like they do in germ-free environments. dcarch

Thank you guys, I know I can count on you. Now I know what to do. dcarch

Hello guys, please help me out. Got a couple of pounds of "Beef Chuck Short Ribs Boneless". Looks wonderful with marbling almost like Kobe. I have done short ribs many times before, but not chuck short ribs. What should I do with this? Timing? Temperature? Thanks. dcarch
