  1. It would not be difficult to electrically heat up the wires. I would think that could be great for some kind of cutting. That's what they use to cut Styroform. dcarch
  2. I am another lucky one. I hope people don't start cooking cantalopes. dcarch
  3. I don't know if that peels all the cloves big and small ones. He never showed the end result. I don't know if that peels all kinds of garlics, fresh ones and well cured ones. I have to give that a try. My method is even simpler, I buy the ones already peeled. LOL! Thanks for the interesting link. dcarch
  4. One word: supercalifragilisticexpialidelecioussrumptiousfabulous!!! dcarch
  5. Steam can get to extreme high temperatures under pressure. There is a much better way to conduct heat without going to very high pressure, that is using the principle of "heat pipe" design. Heat pipe technology is used a lot in geothermal applications to extract and conduct heat. It is also used inside your laptop to remove heat generated by the CPU. dcarch
  6. I think it is free one hour if you buy more than $30.00 Check out picture #7, food court, lobster, fried rice and salad, all for $11.00 dcarch
  7. I was invited to the Grand opening. Here are some pictures of New World Mall. Not in logical order. Incredible swimming fresh fish in tanks. Razor claims in Eataly $9.00 a lb, NWM $4.50 a lb. Lot's of interesting fruits and vegies. Ducks, freerange chickens, quails, rabbits, frogs, turtles ----- Huge food court Endless isles Parking in basement dcarch
  8. Just curious as to what pressure you think would be generate? Is this something, like a flat top pressure cooker, let say 15 PSI. Could achieve? Oh no, you would want to go much higher than that. Water at 15 PSI over atmospheric is only getting up to around 250F. You'd want to get a griddle up to, say, 350f to 400F. You're talking about maybe 200 PSI over atmospheric. It will be very difficult. Assuming a 2' x 3' cook top, with 30 psi pressure, it comes to 25,920 lbs of pressure. You may need 2 inch thick metal top and bottom to prevent bulging. dcarch
  9. I was invited to the grand opening a little while ago. Just for reference: Eatly - 50,000 sq. ft. New World Mall - 200,000 sq. ft. I will post some pictures later. dcarch
  10. If mixing is the purpose, I am wondering if an ultrasonic machine can do a better job. An ultrasonic machine can even mix oil and water. dcarch
  11. I use mine regularly for Naan and Napolitan Pizzas. Set it on the oven floor and the temperature at the highest. The "Plancha" will reach to extreme temperature. Paul Bacino, that stainless steel thing must weigh a ton. dcarch
  12. dcarch

    Lye?

    Chinese stores have both in a bottle and as a powder. dcarch
  13. Sous vided meats. You can sous vide heat them up again at the same temperature. Good as new texture-wise and flavor-wise. dcarch
  14. Are you saying they taste O.K. but not to die for? They look so good. dcarch
  15. For all of you with square/retangular tubs: Hanging the bag diagonally gives you more room. dcarch
  16. I agree with all is said. Best to get an inexpensive IR remote thermometer, solves all problems. dcarch
  17. "---It's worth checking with the airline. Most have their policies available on-line. United's says: ---" Alcohol fume is explosive. dcarch
  18. Tempered glass is extremely durable, and unlikely to self-destruct. All modern high-rise building curtain walls are clad in tempered glass. Trillions and trillions of acres of glass, subjected to heat, cold, wind ----. You seldom hear about glass shattering in a building. Glass, being technically a liquid, heating in an oven can eventually de-temper or create uneven internal stresses. dcarch
  19. Is cargo compartment of an airplane pressurized? If not, stress can be created to a capped bottle. dcarch
  20. I think it might be maguro. I think you are right, toro of maguro. dcarch There's some chicken to the right of the catfish in the pic about halfway down... Thighs for $3.99? Japanese have chicken sushi. A gifferent kind of chicken. dcarch
  21. I think it might be maguro. I think you are right, toro of maguro. dcarch
  22. I noticed that Chilean Seabass is $21.00 a lb. Here in NYC, it's $29.99 a lb. The last picture of the Tokyo fish store does not look like fish to me. dcarch
  23. May be you can flash/deep-freeze the roe with dry ice first? dcarch
  24. Yeah? We call that Bay scallop here. --------------- I feel sorry for whoever will be doing a blog after you. dcarch
  25. It is my understanding that the former believed you seal in the juices by searing the steaks, (wrong wrong wrong) and the latter say nothing of the sort. Perhaps I'm wrong though, which new scientists are you referring to? Surely Modernist Cuisine has an answer for us. Would someone open their book to the "grilling" chapter and let us know? 1. The "Osmosis" interaction will apply in this situation. 2. The salted meat will be cooked at a slightly higher temperature because of the salt water has a higher boiling point. dcarch
