    Dinner 2017 (Part 6)

    @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/
  2. the Vacuum itself should get you a good seal if the cover is seated correctly.
  3. Rats! we will never know ..........
  4. 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 ?
  5. @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.
  6. @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 !
  7. 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 !
  8. I too have B of F and its a fine book as are all of BC's books.
  9. well ive been doing SV for years and years the CuisiSteamOven is far older than two years Sooo IntaPot and Watanabe Japanese knives I use the knives every day, several times a day 3d place would be DARTO pans but I don't use them every day.
  10. Its very clear now : Beer and Pork Rolls do not mix. "" the fight early Saturday morning "" "" may have started over beer ""
  11. I had this problem w my first CSB(O) i called them I was polite they sent me a replacement for free which back then was the same one no matter , I use both of them together and its an improvement the newer CSO's might have a pan that has dimples in it that makes it sturdier. call them politely and suggests its a burn hazard for your family.
  12. Nice I canceled my Amazon Partners 20 buck deal : BLACK+DECKER Electric Knife, EK500W $13...47 Walnart is on the way to Tj's and they aver some very nice people working there so it PC for me.
  13. Yes and Yes w a bit of No boiling is irrelevant for many things the iP excels at : Pressure-Steaming. those items that Foam Up : Beans ? Rice ? .... ? you take that into account when you set the the iPot. the push-button easy with unattended cooking make the iPot well worth the investment hopefully on sale.
  14. its a shame I missed these. unfortunately there is no way for me to check before I go back to look for them the Stadium Brats are fairly finely ground, something I like. and the Queen of all Sausages [ed.: ] is of course the Weisswurst http://www.asausagehastwo.com/german-sausage-guide-weisswurst/ haven't had these in such a long time

  17. I can't for the life of me find the NYTimes article in today's paper : Oct 3 the date on the web is Oct 2 can't find it there either Im wondering if its going to be published tomorrow , Oct 3 in their Food/dinning section. PS re electric knives :
  18. Ive never understood how one can make dough so thin. congratulations @Franci
  19. do you still have the package from ALDI for that Brat ? I was just there are got their Stadium Brats and a smoked brat from the same manufacturer the Stadium brat was the best. the smoked was good , but the SB was much Brattier.
  20. a long time ago , electric knives were reviewed on you guessed it America's test kitchen they found a place in the kitchen as they cut different textured items ( two textures in a single item ) better than a sharp kitchen knife as I recall the black and decker won as it was off set : Black & Decker EK 700 Slice Right Electric Knife amazon isn't selling them , only third parties I got a new one for 20 $ delivered I wonder if they are even being made. a heads up of sorts for MB fans to be.

    @chefmd great looking seared tuna. the other day I was at a friends and he had some fabulous tuna from Costco no aromas what so ever. he planned Seared Tuna as above , probably w a similar dipping sauce. Yum Yum I said. then I paused and asked for my portion to be raw. this was tuna that had been expertly frozen and thawed then a taste test . mine was better. I don't think the sear accomplishes anything and ends up w a dry mouth feel my two cents. next time you sear , cut out the seared bits and compare them to the raw center
  22. """ Anyone want or need a Fagor Duo - 6 qt. model? "" I have that same model ion my basement i have the box used once stop by and pick it up one bottle of table wine , no oak from TJ's would be appreciated.
  23. looks like Amazon is cleaning out the earlier model. excellent deal.
  24. @Chris Hennes many thanks for this preview. Im looking forward to this myself. is there any chance you might get permission to post a screen-shot or two from your electronic preview ? I know that's quite the long shot still .....
  25. I had occasion to go to ALDI the other day for a Mayo Run I pick up some brats and some imported dark chocolate w hazelnuts on these runs. yearly Breakfast : for years Ive tried to limit my Industrial Salt consumption for various reasons. salt at home is another matter w fresh ites these brats I split in 1/2 sand soak in cold water for a few minutes : night and day salt wise. I use red onion and keep the unused portion in the refrig. it can get very harsh but a dice and a brief soak in cold water fixes that. buns nuked for a few seconds for ' steamed buns ' and after the brats were nuked they were torched. brown mustart nice ! still packs a punch , but not a knock-down one
