  1. @Anna N that looks like a fantastic breakfast. nothing like The Next Day's RB Sandwich w quality Beef expertly cooked ie a rare as reasonable. I could also see a couple of very runny egg yolks on that sandwich.
  2. wonderful Haul. I was able to move the pic to the desktop and enlarge it to see the types of delicacies you have but what is this :
  3. @ri2Cook " Spending more with someone who loves what they do and does it well it always worth it in my opinion. " well said.
  4. guess i need to get one on sale i have Darto Pans and some heavy copper pans from FR I guess all i need is this : http://www.thermoworks.com/IR-Pocket won't work well for the shinney copper pans but well attractively priced !
  5. Ive Eye-Balled their timers for some time. perhaps Ill succumb at the next sale. Ive thought about their IR Guns , but its beyond me to understand how to set the the emissivity. any way you look at it , my wood stove is either cold , hot , or hotter. I enjoy their products.
  6. I suppose this counts as a sale as they've added something free : http://www.thermoworks.com/Smoke?utm_source=Nl-2017July14&utm_medium=email&utm_term=Mk4OpenBox&utm_content=inbox&utm_campaign=July2017-Free-Needle-Probe-Smoke-cs I have had two RediCheck transmitter temp units over the years http://www.maverickhousewares.com/digital-remote-bbq-thermometers/ the first lasted several years , and the second still works but the receiver screen is very faint and has been for a while its about 7 years old , and its difficult to remember how to change the temp limits. Ive always been happy w thermo-works stuff so I got this. I already have their ChefAlam http://www.thermoworks.com/ChefAlarm and like it. I did get the extra probe extension and as all the probes are interchangeable Ive got almost all of the combinations. Im looking forward to this .
  7. @KennethT I enjoy the blogs of your trips. thanks for taking the time to share.
  8. interesting article thanks for the ref. "" 85 million Prime subscribers in the US alone "" at 100 USDS / year does that come to 8.5 billion USD for Amazon / year ? just to buy more stuff " fast ?" numbers too big for me to understand.
  9. "" she'd already delivered 3 IPs in this block alone "" nice !
  10. yikes recommending a book from the Test Kitchen Cabal ? In need of a Head Examination Me ? What Good Cooks Know: 20 Years of Test Kitchen Expertise in One Essential Handbook in fairness this book showed up as a new book at my library so I check it out and took a look. If you are waking up from a long nap , say 20 years , and have not heard of the America's Test Kitchen Cabal and Rx Churning Machine this one book summarizes most of their strengths and might be quite useful given the above. they recommend equipment , and ingredients commonly found. they cover some basic cooking techniques . can't say if there is anything new in this book. Its a compilation churn. one of their several Achilles Heels ( more than two they have ) is they completely missed the Electric PC ( iPot ) , they mention the Anova on 384 , but that might be all .... and of course the CSO or Steam-Cooking is not mentioned but I didn't look very hard. if you have nothing from ATK , and your library has this book take a look. no more no less.
  11. @Shelby have your tried the CSB outside , weather permitting ? nice !
  12. what is the temperature and humidity like ?
  13. Ive finally read the WSJ article i think it was balanced and appropriate for the part of the WSJ that the Murdoch's had not yet destroyed. however : """ It’s a steam oven—a cooking technology that hasn’t made it into many homes because it requires some expertise to operate. "" my italics idiots ! I operate a CSB all the time , some times after a dash of M.R. ! "" Restaurants use steam ovens to bake, cook and reheat food faster, more evenly and (most important) without drying things out. "" so true why there isn't a Combi-0ven at HomeDepot the same dimensions as a regular oven Beets Me !
  14. here are three pics scanned at the same time : top : Reemay then shade cloth then my fine gardening tools cheers !
  15. Lettuce and everything else grows under the Reeay , its very light and you use it for many years. it also helps warm the earth after your first tilling , which might be when there is still a little snow on the ground I used 4 ml black plastic after the till and reemay on top of that. as soon as I could. warms the soil nicely and w no extra work. I miss my garden terribly. I had a large yellow Lab and two seasoned ' hunting ' cats no bunnies , no woodchucks ever !
  16. sorry , its reemay cloth https://www.amazon.com/Reemay-Garden-Blanket-67-100/dp/B001FA9SNE
  17. @Shelby re lettuce bolting when I had a garden I grew many varieties of bibb and other thiings never bolted w shade clolth get 50 % I got black as that was all they had in the previous century white might be better easy to ' hang ' from a few posts about 3 - 4ft high http://www.gemplers.com/shade-cloth best stuff ever. never bolted all summer long also consider Remay woven cloth for covering beds in very early spring and fall you will get 2 more months of lettuce and etc.
  18. @JoNorvelleWalker thank you for the update on the Tovela i don't think it will fit a 1/4 sheet pam. here are T's dimensions , from their site : here are the CSO dimensions foot luck understanding them : my 1/4 sheet pan , from this series : https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/calphalon-reg-nonstick-2-piece-bakeware-set/1040346694?Keyword=calphalon+sheet+pans you used to get three pans for $ 19 , i.e. $ 17 w coupon measures 13 x 9 3/4 measuring the rack in the CSO which touches the sides : its 12 " wide. you would have to take into account the runners the rack sits on ( indentations in the oven ) so the CSB is less than 12 " my take , and only mine , is that the Tovela is very close to the CSO but w a bar code reader for their dinners. I signed up a long time ago on kitstarter then emaied them as asked about the 1/4 sheet pan and I think they said it would;d not fit. from what I can make of their dimensions it won't. i do hope they do well w their business plan this might have a better chance in an Urban setting where people don't make time to cook than a Blue Apron type service BTW APRN : $ 7.64 underwater by $ 2.36 granted that only might interest me. Hopefully when the Anova gang get back from Tahiti and back to work their oven will fit a 1/4 sheet pan no chance , of course for Rational to find the light and make a consumer sized steam oven running on 240 V two phase power : credit to Rational for the pics .
  19. I have a weakness to try two things : Salad Dressing and BBQ sauce Ive not gotten BBQ sauce for some time as I make my own [ thank you Aaron Franklin ] but I had a moment of weakness and on the end cap was this : it quite nice for my tastes. it quite tart as i think vinaigrette tends to be in the Amareicas not so much in Europe where there is more oil etc True Confessions : https://www.traderjoes.com/fearless-flyer/article/686 is a favorite for me I like creamy Im going to have this over some http://www.fooducate.com/app#!page=product&id=527722E8-3749-11E0-A55F-1231380C180E a favorite for me in the CSB(O)
  20. indeed the first time I had YPS was on a trip to Quebec. I can't remember if it had smoked ham flavour from smoked ham hocks as GSP soup does when I make it. Ive never had them side by side but w an iPot ,,,,, maybe this fall and winter
  21. @Toliver since you brought it up ................ over a billion USD do unused every year : http://www.marketwatch.com/story/1-billion-in-gift-cards-go-unused-every-year-heres-how-to-avoid-that-2016-12-30 places love them its free money 1 Id love to know the total sitting around in draws , under sofa cushions etc just saying.
  22. well Nada for me think of how much Ive saved ! but a bonanza for Amazon and Bezos ! all the junk that will ball and chain you to Amazon forever buttons, etc etc very cheap bet that's what it was about this year. some now have iPots and circulators very nice
  23. Best Suff ! eG's has 5 - 10 links on all that stuff ! each and every one ! good reading Id say
  24. @Jacksoup most excellent you now have 30 bucks for a Cooler it might be 20 $ or so 10 extra for something else !
  25. an add-on item that revolution-izes the iPot is a steamer basket I have one gifted to me and this one : https://www.amazon.com/RSVP-Endurance-Stainless-Steel-Basket/dp/B007SPKR8U I do have this and use it for straining lower down on this URL a genius suggested that you do not need to snap off the butter-fly handles just bend them nice id say a basket for pressure-steaming above the one cup of water is just soooo soooo much better for many things.
