  1. this ? http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/70154800/ very interesting Ive found that w the extra insulation a cooler give you once the bath reaches equilibrium there are not going to be hot nor cool spots in the cooler but Il like to see a pic of your system after your get it set up w the IKEA thing-ey always something to learn on eG.
  2. also consider your Sv container. regular pots are fine , but various sized ' beer cooler ' are inexpensive , light and might save a little wear and tear on the Anova's heating mechanism that can be covered in various ways for long SV's keeping the evaporated water in the cooler. and they have a nice handle to move them around after they are emptied and you can SV anywhere and save counter space and cook top space.
  3. maybe its an advanced E-Booth ?
  4. @HungryChris now that's a great breakfast !
  5. on the ones Ive seen in LV , you don't even have to light-up. just inhale deeply.
  6. Yes , your notes over time make all the difference. far more often than not , the SV method cook's a single item , w or w/o seasoning. Ive enjoyed SousVide Everything YOuTube vids https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpFuaxD-0PKLolFR3gWhrMw/videos please remember these guys are Brazilian Meat-Eaters , but they do some interesting things w fish they also have compared butter or no butter etc and have a decent review of circulators where you can see them in action. if you wanted a book that has Rx's in it , w pictures to inspire you, consider :
  7. I thought Id post a few .jpgs for review purposes : D.eggs are popular on eG just now. note the presentation again , simple but very interersting tomato soup not from Cambells. and a wonderful thing for a child to discover. Brats would be nice here simple. delicous a bit more complicated , but not really. I send Kudos to JP and those who might find this book just the right thing for their children
  8. I received the book today I was a brief amazon prime member for one month Free ! and of course cancelled one day before a change I got a few things to ' catch up ' etc this book is not what I expected , but it makes a lot of sense to me now : if you like cooking , and have children that are ' helping out ' in the kitchen ... this would be an outstanding book for them to have , making it their own book so Kudos to JP for getting children and young adults Into the Kitchen even if they can't enjoy Personal Beverages i.e. MR outside your own home. JP was not mailing it in when you look at this book that way. "" Why don't we write a book showing the relationship between a grandfather and a granddaughter and how it can be enhanced and made better by spending time together in the kitchen ? " from the intro would work well w a daughter or a son what a fine idea , esp if the book belongs to the child.
  9. Interesting BV makes some fine stuff granted the BVXL doesn't have a light and somehow the Folks DownUnder missed Steam-Cooking , in a big way they do include a basket , which for me takes the iPot to a whole new levvel but the issues w the top are a killer Id way like the display though ..... P.S.: Amazon has certified refurbished ones wonder is they are the real led produce , ' fixed? '
  10. Thank You @weedy
  11. " eaten in just a few bites " ???? better with one gulp
  12. and she is ' under-age '
  13. I thought JP had retired all along he has been grooming his GD
  14. As a small child JP's GD has shown up from time to time in JP's shows she is a young adult on this show however doesn't get to taste a drink they make : ' The Adonis ' Sherry , vermouth . bitters she gets pineapple juice , ginger syrup , grenadine so she's not of Legal Age. she's far more comfortable in the kitchen than her mother it seems
  15. now this looks really really really good. doubt there is anything like this left S. of the Border. such a shame.

    Aldi

    any way to see this w/o FB ?
  17. @Kerry Beal have you moved to Belgium ? seems pretty reasonable based on what Ive seen so far .
  18. re: water politicians are experts at making the superficial seem profound. your are not going to get a glass of water , unless requested because graft from the ' Beverage Industry ' supports their life style " wouldn't you prefer your Water in an Outstanding Shee Shee container ? 5.49 USD ? "
  19. @JoNorvelleWalker """ they’d just fill up on water """ back in thee day , while in Jr.High hot lunches cost 50 cents USD some times Id forget to pick up the two quarter I needed the quarters were in a container in the kitchen so no hot or cold lunch for me ! a friend who lived a few doors down suggested drink a a lot of water , that will fill you up didn't work
  20. yesterday's bread in the bread basket .
  21. Ive always thought that myself. but a while back I read something that suggested otherwise. She moved right on to the Wine business. smart ! just have to learn how to pull a cork !
  22. I cap PBS shows Ming Tsai has a show called Simply Ming I could almost walk to his restaurant one town away East toward BOS. Ive met him several times walking his Dog and we both come from CA. no matter his PBS show is quite good and i Cap it. today , The show features the Guru him self JP with his grandauter cooking so cooking talent skipped one generation ! it was a fine show And based on what I saw his granddaughter has " The Touch " this book : so I m getting via Amazon Monday ?
  23. @JAZ very nice ref I appreciate it. For me three things changed how I cook a quality SV system i.e. an oil pump as I do a lot of SV a Combi-Oven currently the CSB(O) and an iPot mostly for pressure steaming , but now also for stocks and home made soup push a button or two l, keeping track , and your can then do something else while the iPot does its sutff unattended
  24. induction cooking saves energy that's for certain. how much is open to analysis . the induction surface doesn't heat up , and transfers more energy to the pot by far than any other method. the now hot pot can transfer energy back to the induction glass surface , but little energy moves through the glass to the surounding induction top. glass is an insulator. not the best , but decent. the issue is fine control of the temperature of the pot and durability of the electrical components and possible noise of the magnets
  25. grocery store yeast is much more expensive than 1 lb vac'd yeast. when I open a pound I put it in a very clean and very dry used Mayo Jar, and put some plastic double folded or quadruple folder over the jar then screw on the pastil lid very tightly and keep in the coldest part of my refrig keps for me for quite a while and Ive never had a failure since Im about to start baking again w the Advent of Mordsernist Bread I ordered 4 SAF instant and 1 SAF gold the extra bags I vac-seal and keep in a downstairs freezer until needed I do let the Fz bags come up to room temp before I open and add to another of those super clean and dry Mayo Jars if I added the yeast to a jar while Fz , it might attract some moisture which Im guessing would eventually ruin the yeast I have an infinite supply of them for some reason. Hellman jars or ALDI Mayo jars. Im sure Miracle Whip jars would ruin the yeast Toot Sweet. just saying I guess Im wrong about a yeast for sourdough i.e. acid dough guess there is one just for sweet , i.e. SAF Gold many thanks for your replies
