Is it safe to sous vide freshwater fish at low temperature? dcarch

Because you can't apply equal/even cutting pressure on all the rolling cutters. dcarch

You can cut the time to just a few hours instead of days by putting a small fan in the refrigerator. I did the turkey that way, and I am doing a chicken now. dcarch

Runny egg yolk is not common in Chinese cooking. dcarch

"Form follows function" Which kitchen do you think turns out tastier food? if the function of a kitchen is for cooking and for a feeling of comfort, relaxation with family and friends. Julia's kitchen: https://dustandwanderlust.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/julias-kitchen-3.jpg dcarch

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

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 -

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

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

"---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
