  1. these days there are steer baskets designed to fit each iPot size. back in the DarkAges you had to wing it yourself or have Friends that gifted you one from a theft shop they are well worth the investment as you can take the whole basket out w the handle. for a basket of PerfectEggs , I tie the hole basket and run cold water over it for a minute off so , then purge it in a bowl of cold water to chill. if two baskets from Amazon look good enough , get the one that's heavier. my 2 cents.
  2. @CantCookStillTry surely you can get quality thai curry pastes in your area ? look for the ones that come in vac-bags inside plastic wide mouth jars this is the can : https://www.amazon.com/Maesri-Thai-Red-Curry-Paste/dp/B005MH0P5Q?th=1 but get the ' Tubs' I like https://www.amazon.com/Maesri-Red-Curry-Paste-14oz/dp/B007MOTZN0/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_tr_t_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=1J7QMAMS5FW46RFQXH2F brand a little better than https://www.amazon.com/Mae-Ploy-Red-Curry-Paste/dp/B0091UW4QS?th=1 but tastes differ.
  3. I pressure-steam . I buy the larger red bliss and cut them into large chunks , place in the basket over 1 cup of water and PS 7 min HP / 10 minute release. cool on a sheet pan. when they come out they really don't look so great , but they firm up on cooling and are ideal for potato salad. I keep them in a covered container in the refrig . bring out cold what i might need for a day's salad and cut into smaller pieces . I sue pressure-steam rather than pressure in the water as I feel it keeps more potato flavor in the potato and thus Im not making Potato Water soup. I mention all of this to give you an idea of what im aiming for. Id try 6 min pressure-steam for smaller potatoes , and the `10 minute release keeping notes you can then adjust the timings to suit your results and taste.
  4. nice medicinal or chemical 95 % no matter do you do your piranha ( pichanna ?) between vein # 1 and # 2 and not near vein # 3 ? just a Q. there are tow Brazilian markets near me and I do plan to look into this once I have some Fz room no personal experience just he LoadBoys @ SVEverthing
  5. Yikes ! nice w a reasonable price and precise enough for a dial-In-suggesting accurate. that being said Id be interested in Why Brevvile is so allergic to water , i.e. in an oven ie a Steam Oven ? they do make fairly decent things but no Steam Oven is Steel the S.S. variety a problem , or a what ever Down Under ?

    Breakfast! 2018

    @Shelby now that's something I could see ' engineered ' or ' selected ' for all of my eggs.
  7. @Anna N I get no ads do you have an ' ad-blocker' for your browser ?
  8. @CanadianHomeChef ditto
  9. @weinoo I don't think so side to side : Looks good front to back I don't think so the F => B might be 10 " or so w possible a smidgin
  10. @blue_dolphin thank you. if you have an iPot , have you tried pressure-steam , in a basket above the initial cup of water ? direct from the frig ? I like the low-pressure for this , a timed release , then right into cold tap water but what works , works ! Im guessing HB eggs as you've pic'd are relatively new compared to FannyFarmer etc. now new for me might be 20 years , but Im not counting
  11. interesting review. thanks for posting it. I take it you cannot do a manual release as one might on the current models ?
  12. @blue_dolphin those look like perfect eggs to me ! how did you cook them ?

    @blue_dolphin Wooooe Woooooooe Gala when just right is to die for I miss them so much ! too much MR for me now so that I might forget and indeed I got them in Ca in the Bay Area when I went back to visit my father
  17. @blue_dolphin what a shame. looks like something that could be quite tasty ! I tried these : sorry for the glare . they demo'd a similar chcc-dipped ccokie a week or so ago and I always try to wait a day or so those were Soooooo Goooood these were also very very good. no pic of the individual cookie , I inhaled them looking forward to the brother or sister of this one. cookies like these I do not need !
  18. wow not that I know this Im guessing it works just as well as the next versionj w the handles that changed iPots and made them maid stream should one need an extra oor 2 ncie
  19. indeed Cheese Skirts are the best the best you can even make them in the Micro or the Old Fashioned Way [ ed.: after good quality non-stick pans were perfected ] on a not- stick pan " Stick " around so you do it right.
  20. @Shelby what are the pans you used ? as @lindag suggested doubled ? can you ref the Rx ? thanks its Sooooo Soooooooooo hot here , im thinking of baking bread in the CSO ( outside ? )
  21. @Kim Shook nice. next time , if you like tomatoes , what ever you can get lightly toast the bread first , say 1/2 way done add the sliced tomatoes , then the cheese of your choice and steam-broil until the cheese suits your taste] wait a minute or so for the bubbly cheese to get to " Mouth Temp " and dig in !
  22. @mgaretz Nice ! my question , and its not a ' loaded one ' is : was the meat ' dry ' isn " Ive found meat iP'd , at those temps . squeezes out enough ' jus ' that the meat has a dry feel in the mouth same as a standard braise , which is said to be better the next day possibly so some of the ' jus ' migrates back into the meat.
  23. re: CkBr : the issue might be the temp selected . CkBr SV varies tremendously based on bath temp alone. although this is about TurkeyBr : https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2014/11/sous-vide-turkey-breast-crispy-skin-recipe-thanksgiving.html results are similar w the same variations for CrBr. 140 is too underdone for me , and 145 leave the CkBr thinking about being dry wo 142.5 works for me and works very very well
  24. here is my take on MiracleWhip vs Hellmans or the W.Cost version : its sweeter thanks to Aldi I have a Clone of MW : Id suggest adding a bit of sugar to the RealDeal make sure it dissolves so there is not crunch MW Toot Sweet !
