more or less as I guessed thank you but I learned I could save $ 1.00 @ family dollar on the water always learning @ eGullet . Every Day !

Dates , esp. medjool dates https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medjool were invented specifically for Date Bars. what was your Rx @Anna N ? thanks

w the iPot I wonder why use converted rice ? recently Ive been doing Basmati in the iPot using the pot-in-the-pot method. Ill post this later wash the basmati , or what ever raw rice you are using to get rid of the rice-starch they use to keep the greens separate in the bag. rinse until the water is clear. strain out the rice and place in the smaller bowl add the amount of water to that bowl that suits your taste : Im using a heaping cup of Daawat Basmati ( more on this brand later ) and just a little over one cup water place the bowl on the trivet in the iPot. don't forget top add one cup of water to the iPot first 6 min on high , 10 minute release https://thisoldgal.com/pressure-cooker-perfectly-cooked-pot-in-pot-rice/

@kayb great patina on your CSO looks just like mine ! ( CSO1 )

don't you also have the Tovolo 1.5 qt , for bowl-in-bowl rice ?

im looking for a larger bowl for bowl-in-bowl cooking in the ipot. I have the Tovolo 1.5 qt bowl , and I like it a lot. there seems to be a 3.5 qt Tovolo , but not on Amazon : https://www.amazon.com/Tovolo-Stainless-Steel-Mixing-Quart/dp/B001C0B02E/ref=pd_rhf_dp_s_all_spx_wp_0_5/131-8559044-3212828?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B001C0B02E&pd_rd_r=cbd52da6-68cf-4027-a9ce-2854999e69ba&pd_rd_w=hsSiv&pd_rd_wg=V8pKR&pf_rd_p=ffd394b3-6bb0-43ec-8bd8-b3dd44ab44d6&pf_rd_r=VAE48B6MYMC5Y2NT2KBK&refRID=VAE48B6MYMC5Y2NT2KBK&th=1 of note AMZN lists its dimensions as : 12.63 x 4.5 x 1.38. an odd sort of bowl if true its : 7 " x 7 " x 4 " more or less I found this bowl on AMZN : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00555EN58/ref=psdc_289696_t1_B00TNPEW7K the question is , will the rubber on the bottom do well under iPot conditions ? it looks very similar to the Tovolo your thoughts ? then there is this one : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TNPEW7K/ref=psdc_289696_t3_B001C0B02E but it dimensions seem to be 10 x 10 x 5 which might not fit. the 6 qt iPot bowl seems to be 8.5 " wide and 5.5 " deewpd w the trivet in place.

@JoNorvelleWalker "" it was a little flaccid "" yikes "" a stiffer crust that smells like steak "" well what I see from your post looks delicious I do know that ' crispy and aromatic ' is not the SV'ds forte. so cut off a few ' flaccid ' bit and PG then for aromata and etc.

@Anna N yikes ! Ill post a detailed review once I get the book from the Lib.

although things might have changed w the newer Behmor , I used an older model for several years roasting for drip for my sister. I had a different roaster for espresso. Im not sure what SM says about doing a full lbs on green beans on the B its very hard to do. you would be better served doing two 1/2 lb roasts and using the pre-heating hack found on the web. does quite well that way.

the WSJ had a review of The Gaijin Cookbook this weekend : https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-a-ramen-master-cooks-at-home-11568137063 or https://flipboard.com/@WSJ/how-a-ramen-master-cooks-at-home/f-b24053a956%2Fwsj.com it had an interesting Teriyaki sauce , called 12.0 : Teriyaki 12.0 MAKES: 1 cup Teriyaki is the embodiment of the sweet-soy flavor so many people associate with Japanese food. It’s a lifesaver for weekday dinners, and you can also employ it for more elaborate projects like slow-cooked ribs. This one requires just five ingredients, and then you’re in teriyaki town. ¼ cup sake ¼ cup mirin ¼ cup soy sauce ¼ cup oyster sauce 1 tablespoon sugar In a bowl, whisk together all ingredients until sugar dissolves. You’re good to go. Store in the fridge up to a couple weeks. for review purposes. I don't have sake , nor mirin. but maybe you do and would like to try it and report back ? I have the cookbook on reserve from the local library.

@eugenep very nice design likie to hear how it works. some hot air roasters donut seem to get hot enough for darker roasts SM sells a combo -pack of the SR540 : https://www.sweetmarias.com/air-roasting-starter-kit-2.html and I don't work for them , but have been getting g their green beans for 16 + years home roasting is a real joy if you like coffee.

@Kerry Beal thanks I did go to that site not so much I though in the greater scheme the earth did not move. still like the thru in Las Vegas that moved a bit for me.

I think @Shelby has a wheel'd system you would of course have to have space near by in the kitchen to wheel it to take you time , and get it right. its well worth it.

@Anna N nothing quite like home-made brownies from scratch. then , of course their are Blondies , and etc etc.

didn't notice. Ill keep an eye peeled and report back.

@eugenep do you have a decent library system ? look there first. I will say , ATK , in spite of its voluminous churn , has a cracker- jack photography section : Most Excelent Food P0rn ! they have a burger book : pics fantastic ! and that's what modern CB seem to be about.

its all about the temperature of the meat lower temp'd meat , retains far more jus and flavor , and w SV can be as tender as you like.

interesting analysis https://www.fool.com/investing/2019/09/09/beyond-meat-stocks-37-drop-is-only-the-beginning.aspx not that much new , but I follow the logic here : price is going to be very important in the long run for the larger picture.

Jamie Oliver has a new series , without meat : https://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/category/books/jamies-meat-free-meals/ Jamies meat free meals he has his own style of histrionics , which in spite of , I still enjoy his shows. Ive seen the first two episodes hope you can find a way to see one.

@blue_dolphin I have both of those books single edition's mighty fine books. there was a double edition , high end paper back still back when. and a TV show on PBS

@EsaK I didn't want to bring up the cupboard .... but now that its in the open : why the cupboard at all ? counter space ? something else ? if you don't have counter space in the Kitchen some have gotten a cart. a heavy duty cart there is no fixed reason the Vac really needs to be in the kitchen its your kitchen is ' tight " a friend of mine put his in another room , but it does have running water ... Id do your best to rethink the cabinet of course , you can post some pic here on your kitchen , cabinet etc you will get some replies a few might be very very helpful to you. cheers BTW : do you have freezer space ? room for a new freezer ? if you get the SV-CVS bug there it is.

@EsaK "" with a regular power cord it won't work "" I assume you mean : a standard power cord plug , that comes straight out of the the machine , wont curl to 90 degrees in the space you have. if you have a " Home depot " equivalent in your area go there and look at the power cord connection section. you should be able to fine an angle plug that you wire yourself w power cord , and a plug to add to the end that would go into the power source if you are uncomfortable doing this , and electricity is dangerous and needs to be respected Im sure the store will point you to someone in your area that does electrical work commercially. good luck love to see a pic of the final product and your eventual machine

@EsaK maybe you can contact the manufacturer by email ? Phone ?

@Franci the standards of Dinner , Lunch , and Breakfast are very high here on eG. very high indeed. your ' plain ' congee , picture and ' plate ' looks very appetizing as a friend once said to me " Always Room at the Top ' that looks like it belongs there , as simple as it seems

@Kerry Beal thank you for the menus looks like Good Eats again in Vegas 3 - 4 $$ for a donut ? OK , a really good but odd donut ?
