Id like to claim this is French bread w pate .\\ it close enough for me : TJ's caramelized ciabatta onion bread , sliced and CSO toasted along w a slice of Jones' scrapple , AirFried . Window green onions delicious .

love the repurposing of a Bank , keeping the vault. used to go to a restaurant in upstate NY , the same thing . 4 tables were in the vault.

@ElsieD fine work. how do you plan to keep it ? because of the oils , Id consider sealing and freezing , and use from frozen. vacuum sealing would be nice.

@ElsieD Im not sure what 2 mm gets you , as you are after powder in the end. was 1 mm difficult for the machine to process ? when completely dry , try pulsing the 1 mm and see how fine you can get w the FP. if you get a powder that way that's fine enough for b baking , Id consider leaving the 1 mm sealed until you need it , then pulse to powder .

@Kerry Beal fine looking restaurant choice. thank you for the menu's .

@TdeV as thin as your machine will take you.

Great espresso this morning : Not coffee beans I personally roasted : its Trader Joe's Ethiopian . The grinder was a single dose Ceado , and the machine was a La Marzocco which you might not have . but what you see is the real deal , thus , you can work w these beans , and unlock their inner espresso. There is a lot to unlock.

@ElsieD do you think your FP would slice the root , as thin as possible w/o destroying the machine , then drying the think slices ? then , process the thin slices in the FP when fully dry , and see what you get ?

@KennethT Im betting you are right . then , cleaning the burr grinder of all the ginger ' oils ' , and other oils might be a big PITA. or you really like a very subtle ginger background. @ElsieD was the ginger , initially thinly sliced ( again the fibers , if indeed the fibers have a dominant direction ) ir chunks ?

@ElsieD I have a number of ' grinders ' , and the Braun or Krups coffee grinder might be one to try : https://www.amazon.com/KRUPS-Electric-Coffee-Grinder-Stainless/dp/B00004SPEU/ref=pd_lpo_d_sccl_2/131-3625381-0478540?pd_rd_w=oBgsR&content-id=amzn1.sym.4c8c52db-06f8-4e42-8e56-912796f2ea6c&pf_rd_p=4c8c52db-06f8-4e42-8e56-912796f2ea6c&pf_rd_r=BXV23Y4KHPANDVKQKH8Y&pd_rd_wg=3zvvJ&pd_rd_r=44005ccb-8e30-4f91-aed4-e01243e8f280&pd_rd_i=B00004SPEU&th=1 the Braun , similar price , does not seem to be made any more then there is this one : https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Stainless-Electric-Coffee-Grinder/dp/B07SYTRPSG/ref=sr_1_7?crid=2PE0DE3N7D8DS&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.dE-cO9dnNiMRKL08N4VT36elVmgaHoteA6bb3iV4WFJBU5KOy54LamDAzyDI7tqHngOmLi9C0DGIwszzQvoSFwQzFKxTP0am2cmQHXPNbsBHHOlux0I3wGZPfqkcSmo7KoPtjqD1LcLUNpR59aFU4P0O2QtTOVZTM7P7yWrq7ui1kypblaso4UX8-0ryhGHdU2vIKEnLG6aPrC0dANgOcPRydBFtEe_gOwWtRDSyPkQgTBRr25fbxvrvLRCpOabGvj5lkZSTkEreX3Opy7xDOKCxIcko5mg0jeyQVG-uhis.nOJ71KUIBVfcO9hn89yBJVef78dWNZA5jGG328ogVkQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=braun%2Bcoffee%2Bgrinder&qid=1731272473&sprefix=braun%2Bcoffee%2Bgrinder%2Caps%2C138&sr=8-7&th=1 probably the same thing . and https://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-DCG-20N-Coffee-Grinder-White/dp/B00004S9CX/ref=sr_1_6?crid=2PE0DE3N7D8DS&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.dE-cO9dnNiMRKL08N4VT36elVmgaHoteA6bb3iV4WFJBU5KOy54LamDAzyDI7tqHngOmLi9C0DGIwszzQvoSFwQzFKxTP0am2cmQHXPNbsC7SaTlivPwztC6221gzQ9bMCB1KNQBPRVvmMgR2w-qLDFQT5C7u-fDNDPQgUckFKa1kypblaso4UX8-0ryhGHdU2vIKEnLG6aPrC0dANgOcPRydBFtEe_gOwWtRDSyPkQgTBRr25fbxvrvLRCpOabGvj5lkZSTkEreX3Opy7xDOKCxIcko5mg0jeyQVG-uhis.ZgKkKXAWOWSxdEmvvbajhSp3pYKCr2DgSyQUNnDYJT4&dib_tag=se&keywords=braun%2Bcoffee%2Bgrinder&qid=1731272609&sprefix=braun%2Bcoffee%2Bgrinder%2Caps%2C138&sr=8-6&th=1 this is twice the price : https://www.amazon.com/Secura-Electric-Stainless-Steel-Removable-Warranty/dp/B079PMWD1B/ref=sr_1_47?crid=2PE0DE3N7D8DS&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.dE-cO9dnNiMRKL08N4VT36elVmgaHoteA6bb3iV4WFJBU5KOy54LamDAzyDI7tqHngOmLi9C0DGIwszzQvoSFwQzFKxTP0am2cmQHXPNbsC7SaTlivPwztC6221gzQ9bMCB1KNQBPRVvmMgR2w-qLDFQT5C7u-fDNDPQgUckFKa1kypblaso4UX8-0ryhGHdU2vIKEnLG6aPrC0dANgOcPRydBFtEe_gOwWtRDSyPkQgTBRr25fbxvrvLRCpOabGvj5lkZSTkEreX3Opy7xDOKCxIcko5mg0jeyQVG-uhis.ZgKkKXAWOWSxdEmvvbajhSp3pYKCr2DgSyQUNnDYJT4&dib_tag=se&keywords=braun%2Bcoffee%2Bgrinder&qid=1731272609&sprefix=braun%2Bcoffee%2Bgrinder%2Caps%2C138&sr=8-47&th=1 but has two blade sets . in the case of ginger , it very fibrous , so might heat up the ginger quite a bit to get to ' fine ' if it gets there . the 16 - 19 USD version do not have a very sharp blade , so y0ou won't dull it. just make sure the ginger is really really dry or you won't get very fine. good luck P.S.: if you tried to grind the fibers down w an M+P , it might take quite a bit of effort , enough that you might not want to try that again .

@TdeV I don't really know . but you can extrapolate from these refs , maybe : https://www.tastingtable.com/1471370/timing-difference-cooking-bone-in-boneless-chicken-thighs/ https://www.pitbossforum.com/threads/bone-in-vs-boneless-pork-butt-cooking-time.3697/ https://food52.com/hotline/52044-how-to-convert-cooking-time-from-boneless-to-bone-in-pork-roast https://tvwbb.com/threads/boneless-shoulder-takes-longer-than-bone-in.22258/ good luck

also , BF sold in a market has a very different flavor than ' fresh caught ' the oil oxidizes quickly and has a very heavy flavor in market sold BF rather than caught that morning by yourself and cooked that afternoon.

@TdeV I like SV meat at lower temps than most people. I like lamb tender ( time function ) but pink. keep that in mind. w SV you can get both tender and pink .

@TdeV got it. the difference between the oven and a water bath , is the water bath has more thermal energy than Vater vapor at the same temp. you will get very tender meat , which you can then use for something where you add the seasonings later. nothing wrong w adding the seasonings for the initial cooking and you can add different seasons for each bag,

@TdeV you have a container that fits your lamb shanks . you do have to Vac the shanks first thus are you planning to use the container for the water to SV ? if shanks + water + ? circualtor ?? you would be making soup and ruin your circulator . so , it something else ?

@Ann_T that pizza looks perfect.

Went to Tj's this Am , on the hunt for a loaf of brioche bread. I though that would give me something to do , and keep busy , as they say. unfortunately , their loaf is already sliced , and the slices look fairly thick. didn't seem like a worthwhile project because of that. rats .

@ElsieD love the idea of dehydrating various mushrooms , especially if they go on sale then grinding them , then using therm in , well , anything you wanted some mushroom flavor : soups , stews , rice dishes etc ?

has anyone tried a brioche-style bread in the P.P.? keeping in mind the butter , sugar and eggs ?

@OlyveOyl what sort of brioche bread from TJ's were you working with ? I recall a loaf ? what that it ? how do you think that TJ's BB would work in a Panini Press ? Ice always liked their MJ. and pick ladies , which were new to me.

@Shelby fine looking food . BTW : this isn't well known , but GBP's are 1,733 % carbs , besides being poisonous . just saying.

@JoNorvelleWalker I was going to ask if you paid for this, but thought better , as that would be a bit rude . BTW : if Amazon asks , or you might suggest , an evaluation of this : GE Profile Indoor Smoker on sale for $600 you might also suggest , as this is ' complex ' an associate , to send a second unit to ( Me ) . ask for some pellets for yourself . I have plenty ,

The Far Side :

No walnuts. again .

@TicTac nice ! never thought Id have a vegetable pOrn folder. until now .
