I bet it is very antagonistic to the principles of "Feng Shui" interior design. Too many hostile edges and funeral related colors. dcarch

Not true. People who have a kitchen like this use the kitchen all the time. They have hired home cooks, and house cleaners. dcarch

I like two things in that "kitchen" The wood cutting board. The wood "breakfast" table. Everything else I would immediately demolish and renovate to make it into a real kitchen. dcarch

Not that I don't trust their team. But for me I will wait. In their design, there are several materials in close contact with each other. Each with a different thermal expansion coefficient. In repeated heating and cooling, who knows how they will behave. If the thin pottery glaze develops a crack (what? cracks in pottery glaze?) you will have high voltage in direct contact with water. Perhaps they have safety built in. A normal heating coil has the heating element in thick ceramic jacket and the jacket is sealed in electrically grounded stainless steel tube. dcarch

I am not sure it's that new a concept in metal film heating. If you have one of those glass heating plates, you will find a thin metal film deposited on glass to do the heating. dcarch

CK's formal training is a degree in Primitive Art. Other than he had taken a few courses in cooking, he does not have much background in the food business, prior to ATK. dcarch

Actually, it is very patriotic to destroy money. Every dollar you destroy, the government is one dollar richer. For those of you who are interested in making penny tiles. Google penny tile template. dcarch

Check out "Title 18, Chapter 17 of the U.S. Code" dcarch :-)

Buy some Twinwall plastic sheet and make your own. You can actually use packing tape to assemble in minutes and disassemble in minutes. Very strong against wind. Here is my bigger one which I have been using for many years. dcarch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzDqDBw_F54

That is to be expected. I would not call a corer a cutting tool. It is so dull that the act of coring basically crushes the cells, not cuts thru the cells. dcarch

In the presence of water, electrolysis will occur between two dissimilar metals. In other words, you are actually making a battery, and one of the two metals will be corroded. By the way,almost all domestic water supply goes through copper piping. No problem with toxicity. dcarch

May be it's not beef? dcarch

Try this: Before you do anything rub a thin coat of cooking oil on your skin. dcarch

Propane does not have a smell. For safety reasons, the smell is artificially added to propane. dcarch

"----Needless to say, these were not included in the meta-analysis.---" Also known as "Confirmation bias"? dcarch

It's against many states and countries' laws for plant matter transportation. dcarch

I was thinking about the same thing. I think magnetic stirrer can be a problem in a strong magnetic field of induction. Unless it can be based on brushless motor design using Hall effect device. dcarch

The making of gyoza is more than for eating. It is very much a family bonding thing. Children really enjoy participation. Everyone will have a hilarious time of all those misshapen ones. dcarch

A regular ($60) induction cooker can give you 1800 watts of cooking power. This one has only 1500 watts of power. dcarch

"---Don't find any issue with a lack of circulation.---" With circulation your food will be heated up significantly faster, in addition to much more even in temperature from top to bottom and side to side. By definition, in order for natural convection to work, there has to be a noticeable difference of temperature from top to bottom.. Regarding energy use, heat generated in the cold seasons heats the house, and is not a total waste. dcarch

Thanks fro bring this interesting appliance to EG. My comment and questions: 1. I disagree induction is more efficient. Immersion heating is by definition 100% efficient. 2. Without a circulator, how do you achieve even temperature? 3. I am not sure how many cooks are that concerned about energy savings. Interesting and I see this to have many uses in the kitchen. dcarch

If you go to Brasserie du Dragon 135-20 39th Ave Flushing, New York I may be able to get you 20% discount, if you give them constructive comments for their "soft opening". dcarch

No. Not roasted. The making of black garlic subjects garlic to a high heat process for up to 40 days. At the end, garlic is transformed into something that does not look anything like garlic or taste like garlic. dcarch

" ----One of the pleasures I had when I first moved to the greater NYC area back in the 1980's ----" And NYC's disappointing food truck scene. dcarch

As I hinted in my previous post, the Inuits seem to have a different biology to handle their special diet. It is also well known that the village of Limone in Italy, the local people have no problems dealing with extremely high levels of cholesterol physiologically. Unless the studies are done with racial differences also included, the science is incomplete. dcarch
