The Mini, if I recall correctly also has a limitation in the maximum width of it clamp. this might matter if you plan to use insulated coolers [ ' beer coolers ' ] as I do. if it can only be controlled by their App, Id look into wether that app is free w the purchase of the Mini, as I thought Anova will be changing for that on a yearly or monthly basis . w all the sales Anova has had recently w heir circulator's wonder if hey are coming out w a new line . seems circulator's are pretty much ' fully developed ' as they stand now.

generally TJ's does ' Mousse Cakes ' very well : the cake is cake-ey and the mousse is generous the offerings vary through out the year. if you like raspberry , these are for you. at this time they have heart shaped cake chocolate frosting and mousse , w a red heart sugar tipping. if you gently lift off that red heart, discard it , the rest is very nice .

Pam , has various ingredients . if you heat the pan you use it with above a certain temperature and that temperature is lower than you think Pam polymerises and turns to a Gunk that you can only remove w very caustic oven cleaner ( NaOH , not easily avialable , for good reason these days ' EazyOff ' the paste was great ) or BartenderFriends , and someone else to do the grunt work.

i havent looked over the manual , but Ive found turkey via SV is very tasty at 140 F or so. so that might be a ball park figure. looking up the temps it seems 150 F is the lowest the oven goes. so ... 150 F.

@Senior Sea Kayaker you have interesting Pesonal Beverages w your meal. Congratulations.

indeed. TJ's Coastal Chardonnay is not sweet . just not as crisp as a Chablis , my favorite white. USA Chardonnay's for some reason have oak flavors , sometimes a lot. Oak belongs on trees , not in wine.

Ill be unpacking it ' soon ' and will post here. my main effort will be on turkey breast as I have 6 ( on deep sale , of course ) in the freezer waiting for the call-up. Ill de-bone , and remove the two tendons on each Br , tie back together. leave the skin on for ' protection , and smoke low for future sandwiches. then after those get done , maybe some duck.

my Wine Buds @ TJ's recommended I try this after suggesting the G.V. above ; its similar to the GV , but Im betting would be quite different if tasted side by side. who can really remember various tastes and nuances ? not me. as my standard ref. is Tj's Costal Chardonnay , this moves away from that in an interesting direction as did the G.V. $ 7.49 , not a Bank-Breaker . ice cold , quite nice back label is fairly accurate , but I do not know what ' lively ' means in a wine. certainly nothing was wiggling around as I swallowed . Ill get this again , and keep a few bottles as I now keep a few bottles of the G.V. , for a change from the TJ's C.C.

best Cuisi's ever getting the job done
-
Some time ago I posted abut this see this at a yard sale , complete or not and clean-able : get two . not realizing this years ago : iit has two buttons : ' Chop ' & ' Grate ' OK . but someone has their Thinking Cap on [ remember those ? Not opn Tick Tack Tock ? ] the blade is a standard Cuyisi blale : a very sharp edge , and a dull edge this machine uses the sharp blade edge for ' chop ' , ie it rotates in a certain expected direction but on ' Grind ' it rotates on the opposite direction , and uses the dull side. Those Were The Days.

a Zillion years ago , I got an apron that was standard Chef : dark blue , a few white stripes 100 % cotton that dates it for sure . it was fun to use . I drew the line at one of those Puffy White Hats. and those weird checkered pants moving a long , now I wear a newer vision , not 100 % cotton as my house is very cool , [ Ha Ha ] so I wear a light LLB down sweater // light coat , as sweaters dont do well w me. I used to wash all my various down items , successfully . forgot a coat and it was too late to rehabilitate. Dry Cleaning the current item , it seems , was $ 30 + So I try to wear the newer version as it more cost effective to wash that , then the $ 30 + simple.

my Tj's finally has stopped carrying the Petit Fours. not a bag thing in itself ... so these were new , and I thought they might ' ease ' the transition : these were awful . the cake is very pasty . taking them back . just as well : for the PF's , Ill have to wait until next year.

Ive always washed by hand my processors , and dried the part w a soft cloth. I carefully dried the blade , and I didnt over do that , as the blade was very sharp , and let that sit on the counter overnight , along w the bowls. they were dry the next day. pay careful attention to the blades , as they are very sharp , and looking for trouble I friend dropped his blade one his foot , wearing ' slip-ons ' I had to take him to the ER , and process the damage to the foot. it was not trivial as the blade stuck right in the instep.

@TdeV ''' stacked them in the dish tray in a way that hid the blades from accidental hands. This morning most parts (blades and bowl) leaked water.stacked them in the dish tray in a way that hid the blades from accidental hands. This morning most parts (blades and bowl) leaked water. ''' im a bit confused , which is on me : is the dish tray 1) part of the dishwasher ? how does a bade lick water ? did you damage the bowl ?

@liamsaunt looked interesting and tasty to me. Tomato sauce can get a bit predictable and thus boring.

at my local TJ's , they have a decent sized wine dept. w several people having a good understanding of what they have , and what I like. this came in : they recommended it to me , so I tried it dry , decent mouth feel , no benzene ( chemical flavors ) pleasntly on the tart side w ' green ' flavors that linger. ' green ' being interesting flavors , not chardonnay like flavor lingers I like it. thought it would be a very nice wine , cold side , w oysters . $ 6 . 98 . a winner to complement my House table white : TJ's Costal Chardonnay

@Dejah nice. leaning back in my chair , forgoing my computer glasses .. I first say " AI dressed congee ... ' and thought why not ?

Eggs @ TJ's were $ 3.49 doz large white. that's a dollar cheaper than MarketBasket. very unusual. the TJ's display was full , but about 1/2 the size of the usual offering.

@JoNorvelleWalker Id relate the fineness of the grind to the panade you plan to add. coarser might benefit from more panade , finer less. have not tested this out myself, as such given the pre-ground turkey , from various sources , was fixed coarseness more panade gave me a finer finished ML. i.e. dont forget the panade , it makes a difference in the ML independently of the grind
