  1. bag them even if you have to tim them in 1/2 then keep them very very cold in your frefrig then frwwze salt is the issue w pre-seasoinf if you have seasoning w/o salt o ahead and do it now if not , wait salt now will bring fluid out kee tha fuind inn for now.
  2. reaqd some of the comments . very interesting I have not been to Arby's for a long long time. I had it a few times in CA , and the meat was ' whole cow ' then but had a peculiar texture to it. doing a lot of SV now myself , it represents ' Over' SV , ie mealy meat. the sauce(s) probably saved the business. so , is Arby's meat now ' SV Meatloaf ' rather than ' whole meat cow /? those engineered sauce's at many FF joints are deliberately addictive for sure
  3. @SLB well written and interesting article thanks P.S. : if viewing the article , scroll down to the NYT article on the marrot .

    Aldi

    @eugenep interesting notes on dilution. Aldi mayonnaise is very very very close to BestFoods / Hellmans and significantly cheaper. they also have their brand of MiracleWhip , again very very very similar to be indistinguishable . but for me , The Whip is no Miracle. I used to go to MarketBasked , a local family owned supermarket chain. their business model makes many of their items significantly cheaper , their brands , and major advertised brands. after a few Vacc's , Ill go back their .

    Aldi

    the Aldi very near me might look like this: I can't tell if this the real plc or a stock pic. I wonder where the 25 c cars are ? maybe that brick thingy it was not there before. Harbor Freight and Total Wine are on the L and the R BTW some one tried to rob Aldi at GunPoint and is now in custody w no bail no joke

    Dinner 2020

    @sjemac "" I will take the other outside round that is in the freezer, defrost it, drain and dry it and then repack it and let it hang out as a whole cut in the refrigerator for 14 days to see if the results are similar "" I wonder id the drying out and repacking are necessary . It might make the resulting package more attractive , but it might also add contaminants . Id üst refrigerator defrost as long as the package is still tightly sealed , then start your counter when fully thawed in the refrigerator. just my 2 cents. I feel w aging , less manipulation that might introduce contamination the better up to you pse include us here w your steps. thanks y0u

  21. worth it used if in good condition.
  22. last reply to ' free shipping " : "" I truly understand that the FAQ provides "free shipping", but this applies only to the Precision Cooker + accessories. The 1st paragraph explicitly states " Alaska and Hawaii have a small additional shipping charge. " All of our orders coming from Alaska and Hawaii are bounded and paid the shipping fees as far as the Oven is concerned. We also have a column on the shipping information sheet that says the Oven is excluded from free shipping. Sorry if that all the shipping information was confusing. Hope you understand. Best Regards, Carlo Tomeldan Anova Culinary support@anovaculinary.com "" guess the first orders were free , then they changed to a charge that was buried in the fine print. too bad.
  23. good time to re-read : The Apprentice: My Life in the Kitchen (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) her story is in this book. I esp liked the short sag of her restaurant in CT Ill make her Cuban Black Bean Soup soon. w banana as the garnish ( maybe it was plantains ) a favorite of mine.
