I got an electric roaster convection/rotisserie oven from Goodwill for $10. I bought two strainers ($10?) and did some modifications to them to work with the rotisserie. The oven is in my backyard. It gives me about one lb of roasted coffee beans in about 30 minutes. No smoke, no trouble. perfect control of degree of roast. dcarch

csingley "------- with steam cooking lagging just a little bit behind boiling... far closer than can be explained by the dramatic differences in density between liquid & gas phases. I guess Myrvhold's wrong too?---" I must have missed something. If so I apologize. All along, I thought you are saying that steam cooks faster, now you are saying steam cooking lagging behind boiling. I am confused. And BTW, no need to explain latent heat. My profession requires me to have a good understanding of the subject. I agree, back to cooking. Those of you who have not had good experience with microwave cooking, should look into "inverter microwave ovens". I don't know why they didn't use another terminology. Inverter is used for another electronic device. dcarch

Some items have no price. Mostly seafood. market price. dcarch

Sorry, you are wrong. As also proven by Modernist Cuisine. dcarch

$150 for this chrome shelving unit plus locking casters: http://www.homedepot.com/p/HDX-48-in-W-x-72-in-H-x-18-in-D-Decorative-Wire-Chrome-Finish-Commercial-Shelving-Unit-6T60184872C/100655787?MERCH=REC-_-SearchPLPHorizontal1_rr-_-NA-_-100655787-_-N 600 lbs capacity. dcarch

With locking casters, levelness of the floor may not be a problem. If you intend to storage heavy items, and you are in an earth quake zone, please check your local Code for anchoring the shelves. dcarch

make sure they are locking casters. dcarch

Casters. You can take them off if at some point when you really feel that you don't need them. Can't do it the other way around. dcarch

By definition, I don't think steam can ever be hotter than boiling water, 212F (100 C) unless it's under pressure. The moment steam enters air which is colder than 212F, it immediately condenses and becomes visible water (so called steam), at that point, latent heat of water vapor (steam) is no long there. Pressure cooker steaming is different. dcarch

First, I am assuming you are not talking about visible "steam", which is just tiny water droplets. Actual steam (water vapor) is not visible. But there are not many molecule in one cubic foot of steam, (thermal mass) compared to one cubic foot of boiling water. Therefore, you have about 1,120 BTUs in one cubic foot of boiling water and only 240 BTUs in one cubic foot of steam. dcarch

I had the same question. dcarch

OK, Just found out those were the food served at the recent G20 Summit meeting dinner.

Some one forwarded this link to me. May be someone here can translate. http://mp.weixin.qq.com/s?__biz=MjM5OTE1OTI3Mg==&mid=2675341876&idx=1&sn=de33d972faf5760ee6e0c00a2d2dc934&scene=1&srcid=09055mBSl9oSa05TBo4wwbFb#wechat_redirect WOW! dcarch

Carbonated candies are more fun. "POP Rock" and "Angel Dust". After you carbonated the fruits, may be you can freeze them. Will they Pop like Pop Rock? dcarch

"The garden is about life and beauty and the impermanence of all living things." The garden is also used to impress your friends and neighbors how wealthy you are. "The garden is about feeding your children, providing food for the tribe. " Then it is no longer a garden. It becomes a farm. (IMHO). In some communities, it is illegal to plant tomatoes in the front of the house. dcarch

Unless you are undernourished in general, I feel your concern need not be in nutrition. I would be more interested in flavor for enjoyment. To me microwave or steaming is about the same in nutrition. The water you see after steaming are mostly from steam condensation, not from the vegetable. dcarch

Good idea. After you ID the specimen, with 200% certainty, then throw then away. You should never trust books, pictures and your judgement, even you are 500% certain. dcarch
