  2. micro'ing a fully cooked ham will ruin it it will contract and be very tough. you might bring it to room temp glaze a side , then carefully broil that side for the glaze , the slice ?

    DARTO pans

    @blue_dolphin looking forward to your final pics !
  4. there is one of these in Cambridge MA , and they have a second outlet in the area the food is very good , and similar prices to Chipotle. I usually get the lamb and its tender and not grizzly. wish there were more of them
  5. @Anna N I do agree. of note , now that Wondra has come up : I keep mine in the refrigerator , as the seals on the top are not that tight. I don't use it that often but when I kept it on the counter ... I noted some Wild-Life had crawled in , and were enjoying them selves. justto point that out
  6. I can't imagine the nightmares businesses these days have w " SocialMedia ' I not a SM user , but that's for other reasons. Ive retired from what was my calling. and have met w various students of mine and had a nice lunch or two. one Snark-ey remark on ServiceWhatEver is next to impossible to reverse even when its a load of BS. and that's not including , Fake BS , set up by competitors etc Indeed , in the NYTimes and WSJ there have been long well written articles about the extraordinary scams , fake reviews , etc on Goliath AKA Amazon , that channel large and significant amount of money to bottom feeders etc. I find this so interesting , but its the times w live in. So I congratulate RanchoGordo for not just an exceptional collection of products but for doing their best to keep true to their goals.

    IF you are in NYC , Im sure you can find something in Chinatown or a good liquor store. this is the one I have : I poured some in a glass so you could note the color. I make no claims that this is the brand you should seek out. In Chinatown BOS at a small Chinese liquor store they had three versions. as no English was spoken , I bought the mosts expensive : $ 7.95 750 cc 17 % alcohol as is is a fortified wine , it will keep for long time and not turn to vinegar . Id say this tastes like a dry but dark sherry. Ive only had a few sake's , and to me this is more complex. think of a cream or dark sherry , but one that was not sweet. its been some time since I looked into sherry and at that time , dry was lighter in color, and not this tripe of complex flavor a dry amontillado might work if there was such a thing. cant say myself.

    Ivew found the salted versions a very poor imitation of the better wine found in Chinatown w/o salt. its similar to dry sherry , but more complex. look for a darker dry sherry
  11. thank you for sharing what is this ? the white corded object ?
  12. @HungryChris good. put your meat on a plate , the the cheese of your choice on top of that. the cheese should be one that melts. the micro the combo so the cheese melts then transfer that on to your already prepared bread that simple. since tongue might be a bit rare try it w ham and cheese first you will never go back.
  13. I do the above a lot w various Penzey's blends I prefer to add MyOwnSalt but that's sometimes hard to expect in our SaltCulture less Exogenous Salt , will eventually lead to your palate not so much burning out w commercial salt but you will ' taste better ' w less commercial salt. anyway , various Penzey's mixes work very well with Veg if they are dried , add a tiny bit of water to your chosen dose first to rehydrate then into the Veg.
  14. Penzys https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox/FMfcgxvzLXHZPHvNNJwFZdLnSqcPmlCN has for a dollar To get your totally free $3.95 Bavarian Seasoning in one of our stores, just show this email or the coupon below.

I use this for things Green esp green beans ! you rehydrate what you need w a little water then , add to a bit of mayo or what ever and mix in to green veg. esp breen beans ! after they are of course perfectly cooked !
  15. Ive gotten good info from Camel Camel on deals https://camelcamelcamel.com/search?sq=anova I still might get their price alerts. if you are lucky , you might find one in time for $$ 85.
  16. @Anna N Eagle Eye ! I missed the Ez-T !
  17. just incase you missed it : they seem to have chosen two different brands Oooooooooooooooo!
  18. I see an iPot ! just to the R of the person w the spatula ( her R ) , I see a pair of combi-ovens that should be in my house . did they offer to cut an EZ-Teemper in half for you ? while full of chocolate ?
  19. I will say this about Chipotle : the food they use is of high quality. they've dumbed down the Mex flavor to not offend anyone, a business choice Id say but if i were out and about , and hungry and no ShakeShack nearby ( the smokeshake , no fries ) Id be very happy with a Chipotle Fill-Up. I can wait for the cilantro and cumin at home .

  22. @HungryChris Yum Yum ! try that sandwich again , but put the swiss on top of the tongue and micro until just melted then slip the combo into the repaired bread etc.

    DARTO pans

    @Hassouni and @HungryChris Id call them. telephonically. I had to do this w my first order so long ago and a second in a similar time frame as I wanted to add one pan. the first issue was their web site did or did not accept my CreditCard i have an cell that I keep for emergecies it has about a bazillion or more minutes on it. I called I politely asked if some one spoke english in my broken Spanish the person that answered did and we sorted it all out nicely. if you have such a phone call them they were very polite and appreciated me calleing get your data together and do it. Why not ? it helps them it helps you and maybe others . in the future
  24. Ive ' followed' Chipotle vis the WSJ for some time. I dont ' look it up ' I just read articles in the WSJ and NYT's about various business ' that interest me SBX etc this isn't for ' profit ' just an interesest in certain things mostly food related and CMG has had its issues and problems. no matter to me. the newer Chipotle is about 3 miles from another odd I will say this about their food and the food ' model ' the food to me is ' very good ' that is a way of saying all the stuff tastes to me like top quality food. Top Shelf. and you get your dollar's worth , esp if you ask for a little more rice , a little more ' salsa ' and the servers do not mind doing that. but there is very little ' Mex ' in the carnitas , they might have used cumin but the owners have chosen a middle ' non offensive ' path the salsa either has no heat , or at the top not too much they did have tabasco sauce that you could add to your order near the napkins and good for them , the green tabasco. but nothing there reminded me of Pico de Gallo and the like remember : this is a thought out Chain they seem to be looking for a middle of the road providing no affiance to any one but supplying a decent amount of food , or a bit more if you ask for a very reasonably price I think I ve read they are going to do all sorts of new stuff that will take time to do that so much for the Swells counting their Beans and missing the point : salsa-ier salsa some coriander in the carnitas and dump that glop they call Queso too bad they and McD did not consult with me [ ed: at a very reasonable long tern premium : McD just melt the cheese ]
  25. seems Blackfirday specials area out and about including the ubiquitous Special : the iPot https://www.cnet.com/news/black-friday-2018-kitchen-and-appliance-deals-lg-and-samsung-large-appliances-instant-pot-dyson-vacs-all-discounts/ the Duo , Im guessing V2 which most of us have will be $70 at Target and the Nova, at Costco: https://www.costco.com/Instant-Pot-Nova-Plus-6-Qt-9-in-1-Multi-Use-Pressure-Cooker.product.100400394.html said to be $ 35 off.
