Thanks for the heads up. I have some all-clad copper core pieces now and I'm curious if I'll see a big improvement with the true copper.

Thanks good advice. I do plan to use them and not hang them up.

As induction doesn't appear to be in my near term future, I was thinking about buying some copper cookware that is stainless steel lined specifically Bourgeat or Falk. I started to price some pieces out and it seems like the Falk is a bit more expensive. Does anyone have an opinion on which they like better or are we splitting hairs here. Thanks!

I made the Garlic+Bread soup last night and the Guacamole. Both were great. I haven't had time to compare the UK and USA editions yet.

Thanks for those suggestions. I wasn't aware of these books. regards

That's bizarre I would think the UK to US translation would be easy! I'm due to get it next week to compare.

I would be happy to. If anyone has specific recipe questions between the two editions please let me know to get me started. thanks

I just ordered the UK version you made me curious!

Would you say the UK edition is more accurate thank the US one?

fyi Fissler USA just told me that the Vitavit is not available yet in the US as it's being approved still. It sounds like a 2012 release. Also the the Bluepoint line gets up to 15 psi.

Thanks for your responses. 1) I was just wondering if that was true. enjoy your new Vitavit

I'm trying to decide on a pressure cooker (my first). If anyone has an opinion please share. This is what I've read so far and I have a few questions: 1) The Kuhn Rikon doesn't vent and some have said the stocks are more flavorful because of this. 2) Fissler - great build quality. I've read it doesn't reach 15 psi? Does it not vent like the Kuhn Rikon? 3) Is the new Fissler Vitavit available in the USA? 4) Since I don't have a stockpot either I was thinking that I might as well buy a 10-12 quart pressure cooker for multiple uses. Do the larger pressure cookers prevent me from doing small amounts? Thanks

They are interesting and it seems like a lot of local flavors. I'm looking forward to trying them out.

It's pretty basic overall and has a picture with each step. The tone of the book is simpler less expensive items for everyday eating. You may be a bit disappointed in that respect.

I just received this book. I'm impressed with the organization and for a rookie like myself it looks very straightforward. Pictures every step of the way, quantities for 2/6/20 or 75 people and a timeline of when to start each step. 31 3 course menus included. I'm still skimming through it but everything looks delicious!

I just ordered from the UK I'm in NY. I'm not sure if the US version will be the same but at least I'll get the copy in a week instead of the end of November. The price with shipping was about the same too.

Nice Jeff. Good luck with it.

I was debating the Minipack vs the Henkelman for a while too. I went with the Henkelman Boxer 35 but I really like both units. The Henkelman has a powerful motor and the soft air feature is nice. The feature that I unexpectedly love is the quick stop H2O sensor. It works incredibly well with liquids or anything moist. Highly recommended.

Mine is on the fedex truck today too. I'm excited!

Great Charlie Rose interview of Nathan: http://www.charlierose.com/view/interview/11562

I will definitely buy that app if you release it! Looks great.

I looked at the MVS 20 initially too. It is smaller but the other thing that I didn't like was that it was a timer based vacuum system as opposed to the sensor (% vac) based like the larger machines mvs26 and mvs31 etc.

Peter, nice summary. I just got the Boxer 35 and I think it's great. They started to offer a quick stop H2O sensor that shuts the vacuuming off when the contents start to boil. I was a little skeptical as to how effective it would work. I've used it now on several occasions and it works perfectly. I opted for the double seals instead of the cut off wire like you have. I see that you run it for 5 seconds after you reach 99%. I haven't done that yet but maybe I'll try it. Regards

I've ordered through amazon and expect it next month as well. I was just checking on amazon and they have another seller on there that has it in stock for $593 (strand books) via amazon in case someone needs it quicker.
