a friend of mine mentioned using a particular bread I do have from a very very fine bakery on the Cape Pain d'Avignon https://www.paindavignon.com he mentioned mayo , lightly , perhaps on the grill sides ? then the usual tasty stuff in the middle so : do you coast the bread on the press side w : butter ? olive oil ? mayo ? something else ? Nothing ? as the bread as above is so good ? thanks

Ive been wondering how a circular motion ( the blade ) can also dice. Im sure Im the only one puzzled. this video shows how this works : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43hNy6JW09I thank you , @lindag I originally though the blade that did the cutting was below the ' dice ' disk. its not the cutting blade is above the dice disk , slices the food , and must be angled in such a way that it then pushed the food through the dice disk. very cleaver. won't be tossing and turning so much now.

good old MA making things so complicated. a Dot.Ma.Gov unemployable niece or nephew controls the TPTB trade. for sure its easier in MA to buy dope.

BTE the sauce Fx in the iPots is lethal the heat is so uneven , hard to avoid a lot of scorching , burning. maybe if one then pressure cooks , the torched bits incorporate I always sautés in a regular pan first , if that's part of what Im point in the iPot.

thank you for that insight. Ill be doing this again , w everything but the 8 oz of chicken broth. scorching ? well . I did try to sautés something a long way back in the 6 qt iP and it did sorch , and it did clean up. in this case I did mix things around a bit , before I did the 30 in iP on Low Pressure the scorch was snot that large , and I only discovered it after poured off the cooled down content of the iP but , what ever made it did clean up. and as before , same sort of thing as mentioned no cream of anyting no scorch.,

its cooler now , so I brought out the iPot and made a concoction Id been thinking about for some time : a ground turkey , creamy , wine-y , something that would go over Rice , or pasta , or a baked potato. Id make enough to freeze in blocks , the way I do w my turkey-redsauce-ragu. mise : I sue this brand gr truly as it comes in 20 oz slabs ( thicker than 1 lb slabs ) , goes on sale regularly and seem less wet than newer entries ( years now ) Perdue , Tj's ) I also wanted to see what would happen in the iPot w ' cream' soups , as ' Hip pressure cooking ' suggested avoiding milk in the iPot ie scorch9hne ? I brushed off the 1 lb mushrooms , coarsely chopped. dumped the turkey slabs in the iPot , added the chopped mushrooms , and the two cans of CofM no salt soup. I reduced 1/2 bottle of Cote d Rhone I got at Tj's this has more flavor than Tj's Coastal Zin. and yes its a table wine , not a chit/chat wine wine reducing Left. Looks yummy already ! the wine went down to 3/4 cups , and remembering the 1 cup rule , added someone salt chicken stock. it was 8 oz for the unit. more on this later . iPot's on low pressure ( mindful of the possible ' milk ' issue , for 30 moon , then quick release. I added no seasoning what so ever . my plan it so salt ( I use a different salt ) and season each batch after the cooking, thus varying each meal. still looking very tasty ! clearly a Cat , possibly a Dog , didn't care for this ! added a little salt , and it was very tasty . I was going to brown the slab , on each side , and the chopped mushrooms for added flavor , but went the lazy route . the idea is ' very easy to put together , tasty , and thick enough for Rice , pasta , baked [potato ' this effort was too thin. I made a mistake by added the extra 8 oz commercial Ck stock. and , Illl pull out the Cuisinart next time to get an easy , much finer dice on the mushrooms. the dice here was wrong. but , I learned Cream of ... condensed soup does not burn in the iPot and once the result is thinking , and more uniformly diced a very nice item to easily make , Vac freeze in blocks and season each time I pull out a block fro the freezer. P.S.: I ended up not using the miso . it might be an add-in for individual servings in the future. P.P.S: there was a very small amount of scorching , after all . in the rim , 1 " x 3 " no more .''sealed up easily w some hot water and a teflon-ish sponge. Ive done many many turkey ragu , similar ingredients : slab turkey , jared tomato sauce and iP'd on high no scorching .

I hope this is the right topic , as its about Spanish Chorizo I lived in Spain for two years : 1960 ++ I was ten , my parents were teachers , and did their spatical years in Europe . I do love Spanish chorizo , lets say the dried version , where you took it to a day in the campagna , a picnic in the past , long past ive ordered this sort of thing from these to vendors : https://www.tienda.com/chorizo/all-chorizo they imported their chorizo from Spain and https://laespanolameats.com they made delicious chorizo , in the Los Angelis area , USA all were delicious So , I [plan to order some dried chorizo , from other company but perhaps , being a Student of Spanish ( dried ) chorizo someone here , might have an alternative source ? for mne , way back then the chorizo from each place , was equally delicious that you for your help FD: Spanish ( dried ) chorizo in Spain not the Hot varied by provence. and grind. but it walleyes had smoked paprika ( Spanish , of course ) and local etc etc. thank you

@Smithy you are correct that extraction is best at about 200 - 205 F difficult to get that at altitude possibly. Techinivorm ( double blind testing ) out preforms many other auto-drip machines because the brew temp is higher in their models . and that costs a little money consider a Mocha Pot . https://www.amazon.com/moka-pots/s?k=moka+pots the water will at least reach your local boiling point , and pass through the ground coffee only once. get the larger size(s) that's the best I can think of given your altitude.

Why You Should Never Take the Last Piece of Food
rotuts replied to a topic in Food Traditions & Culture
In College , going into town to the Pizzeria for an Extralarge we developed the same technique : He Who Cut , got the last slice . worked , but there was a time limit : if you took too long to cut , you got no slice at all worked better . One room mate took forever analyzing. -
@KennethT I completely agree . Ive cooked basmati in an on/off rice cooked successfully . the poster has a cooking problem or a palate problem . or some combination of both.

if you've been unhappy w Daawat ( I use the blue bag ' Traditional ' ) ''' Flavor and texture were lacking in most, aroma was scant or non-existent, the grains were short, and so on. ''' its not Daawat , but your cooking method for sure . a fuzzy rice cooker might help out a lot you still have to accurately measure the ref , rinse the rice , and use the proper amount of water there is a reason rice ccokers are ubiquitous in rice eating lands and of course , if it not your rice cooking method which might be tuned up then its your palate hard to fix that.
