@HungryChris nice ! soft shell crabs are a gift from heaven ! I used to season them and grill them very quickly. sigh

personally , why bother ? put your talent and energy into something that will actually taste good when you put it on your plate. just saying.

@scubadoo97 I do something very similar w both CkThighs and Turkey things do you have a CSO ? try doing the thighs in the CSO. very close to SV , but the Chef gets some outstanding crispy skin to sample ! I always fill up the CSO so there will be extra , sans skin of course , to pull apart and use has you have above.

A P.S.: on the basket I point3ed out here : it fits nicely and the handle is nice but its quite light and not something one might use in the Mess on a BattleShip in the WWII. there are others : Hatrigo Instant Pot Accessories 6 qt Steamer Basket The Original Salbree 6qt Instant Pot Steamer Basket and Aoizta Double Tier Stackable Steamer Basket for Instant Pot Accessories 6/8 qt... one way to look at this is price. re-think this look at the items weight. I have no problems w the above and I do not plan , for the moment , to get a WWII BattleShip out of MothBalls maybe by two different ones ? just in case ? to me a billion years ago , when iPot was young I was gifted a basket that had nothing to do w the iPot. for me a steamer basket transfers the iPot exponentially

@tikidoc "he made the people in the places he visited just as much a focus as the food" " He had empathy " he certainly did. I personally have not seen so many of his shows simply because I would have loved to be there and sample that food , and talk about it with people that had his insight. Thst's my own fault. saying this I did see a show where he went into Northern Laos or the like met w the various Opium Commanders and then sat down with the Locals for some food. apparently beetles and the like or other crawling things were preserved in local " Hooch " taken out for their crunchiness after a large glass of that ' hooch' and he dug in and drank right with the Locals I saw the local Eyes Dilate, and then the toothless large grin of each of them Ill have to find that show an take another look

it must be a translation thing and the cod dish seems to be a national one. Its translated that way in three different Icelandic books. then again , I didn't check to see if the translator was the same

@shain Kudos your way ! nothing like Muffin Crusts ! never thought of the double-bake yours also don't look too tall Kudos again !

I think that's as close as we are going to come. like a fish stew and the drippings refer to the liquid part. I was hoping to discover something more dramatic dripping wise

hope im in the right spot. In reading fiction from various places around the world I encounter new dishes and try to find out what they are. Im reading an Icelandic book now , in translation of course and have come across Salt Cod w boiled potatoes and Dripping. SC and BP are easy enough to track down but not so easy the dripping part the implications in the book is that this dish is uniquely Icelandic any ideas ? google had lots of pictures but very little if anything on the drippings thanks

a shock its going to be a very long sad day for so many a lot of insight now lost. R.I.P.

very good and thanks then there is this oven in the same show Season 1 : it has a significant professional hood etc and could his be a Combi-Oven ? credits go to : " Baked in Vermont " https://decider.com/2018/01/03/baked-in-vermont-sandra-bullock-sister/ of course , Im not interested in her sister just the oven decent show theatric's are well there Sooo what's this oven ?

@Norm Matthews thanbks

just wait until the $%I&*%^#W EggPlants arrive ! weeds w good PR.

all the combi-oven people were very nice when I called them. none of the knew why there were no home versions even Miele this one https://www.yaleappliance.com/Ranges/Miele/Induction-HR1622I.aspx could easily be made into a full Combi. for that price , why not ? you plumb it in for Steam Bread Baking but not Turkey.

I once ordered something, from somewhere and after my name , but before the address ( street ) I added a fake restaurant name. I dont recall why. in a bit i started to receive free restaurant catalogues and some very interesting restaurant literature. until I moved the stuff was really interesting

@Norm Matthews would you be willing to share your new ML Rx ? what about just torching the ML ? would that be easier ?

@ImportantElements good TriTips air any other meat Beef or not much better w a SV start just saying.

@ImportantElements nice have you looked into SousVide ? consider it as another element of Cooking.

@Nicolai yikes ! when you do it you do it right !

nice tip on the Ends. Ill include them in my next order

Ive ordered from Fathers' several times i had two packs were not completely sealed. I the packs move around while shipping which causes this I resealed or you can just freeze those. Im very impressed w the ' value ' Ive gotten from fathers :m Bacon seasonings and Hocks. I also love Benton's bacon and have a few packs from when my sister used to send them to me.

i saw the Star and thought B.S. Thank God it not a CombiOvenj ! or I Wouldn't Sleep At All Tonight ! thanks !

this is a screen shot from a show Ive recently seen Vermont Baker so all credits go ther and some time ago I was able to go to King Arthur's Flour store in VT a few times a year ; thanks !
