    @Okanagancook nice really nice looking forward to your further adventures.
  8. I made that same one from Time - Life Snacks & Sandwiches Id suggest that now days you use a little less butter between the slices still quite a bit but not 1/4 " - 1/2 " pre slice. 1/4 " of the freshest you can get would be fine. Or ...... the hunters might not made back
  9. so far so good i dont recall any dairy but it gives me a start many thanks no reason you can't keep responding
  10. thank your so much for your replies Ill look them over I do remember the crumb of these cakes very much suited me and were not compacted ande had a nice brown sugar flavor the smaller aluminum pans lined was my idea to make them as gifts ! thanks for your insight
  11. I didn't know this topic existed ! Id like some help : quite some time ago , possibly fro Gourmet , this would have been in 1999 I found a Rx for fruit cake that I adopted into smaller aluminum semi-disposable forms i used a large variety of Trader Joe's dried fruit , chopped up as needed I lined the smaller aluminum pans w parchment and added the mix It possible I have the Rx somewhere , but many HardDrives have some and gone however , I remember that I baked the FC at about 300 for several hours give or take and what's important to me , is that the ' cake ' portion of the FC' had a good crumb and a light brown color and an incredible flavor. brown sugar must have been involved. the then let the small caked cool a bit , picked them out of the containers which I used over and over and placed them in individual plastic bags and carefully slit the tops here and there and added Booze good quality mostly Myers Rum ( dark ) but for some friends bourbon about 1/2 cup / unit I then let them mature for 4 - 5 months and gave them away as gifts. Id appreciate some help being in the Web age to try to reproduce these FC Im looking for that same ' crumb ' and lower temp cooking manny thanks ! P.S. : no weird green candied Yuk was ever used !
  12. no matter what those Puppies are for get two of each. just saying. Yikes if I were there Id get 4 of each "" break-age " best stuff ive seen for the Kitchen in some time !
  13. P.S.: @Kerry Beal remember this : your eye caught those two items above for a reason ! keep that in mind ! P.S.S. : of course if Amazon has them Ill get 2 of each having no idea what they do but I do know they do [ whatever ] very well.
  14. gee wizz @Kerry Beal get right back to that shop and buy those white upside-down thing-ies if not 2 of each why ? your are going to have NightMares of a Phantasmagoric Nature for quite some time if you don't bring back (2) of each. the british beer mug not so much. I don't even know what those white things are but they are perfect and Speak to Me. just saying
  15. @Norm Matthews that looks outstanding would you pass on the exact model as Id like to look it up interesting that the top oven looks larger than the bottom cheers
  16. @Docrjm nice the SpZal does not do MC Beef or other meat " jus" so im not in the market however what is that pretty snappy Jug on the Left ? Nice ! that jug is Talking to Me !
  17. @lindag points well taken from your view point for me no geeky at all ! of course , "" What's Geeky "" ? Im a bit technical myself ... but not over absorbed in it I always found his Eps had interesting insight and a lot of Tongue dans le(s) cheek

    @mgaretz your stew looks delicious. would you pass on a few more details time etc how was the meat ? by that I mean : did it have a dry mouth feel .... the sort of thing you get w a braise that has not rested overnight so that some of the Jus can re-enter the meat ? I in no way imply it wasn't delicious and based on the time factor of prep ..... Im hoping some day I can get the energy to SV some top of the like chuck to tenderness then do the rest of the stew , including stock , veg etc and then thickening after the iPot does its magic then add the SV meat and let it get to know its neighbors then chow down/
  19. the Vacuum itself should get you a good seal if the cover is seated correctly.
  20. Rats! we will never know ..........
  21. learned lots of stuff from the GoodEats show much of it entertaining to boot. just thinking about it Scrap Iron Chef stand out for me Odd , no ?
  22. @Kerry Beal was there any mention during the talk on the discovery they found that set the time table back on publication so that they could include it ? Im very curious about that.
  23. @Chris Hennes thank you for the detailed previews is there any mention ( anywhere ) what New Discovery they found that delayed the initial printing so that this might be included ? very curious about that and can't wait for my copy to arrive !
  24. I do not have this model. but I recall there are issues in properly seating the cover to get a seal. this has something to do with the complicated hinge systemm work on that first. then does this machine allow you to set the ' seal time ' in seconds ? there might be a seal time and a cool-downj time of the seal mechanism that you can set. if you get that far , the textures bags might head a longer seal time on the hot bars as they might be thicker due to the texture on one side. good luck !
