  1. @Kim Shook PL is lean , and thus might cook up on the dryer side if not careful. SV solves that problem , and will get you the tenderness you are looking for ( time related ) and the doneness you prefer ( bath temp related ) do the loin SV TL also works well SV do not over cook either 'conventionally. grilled rare TL , bit of quick char on the outside cooled , and sliced thinly makes a mighty fine sandwich.
  2. @snowangel looks sensational left-overs : Hash , sandwiches , inc. C.B. Dip C.B.eggs Benedict Vac and freeze in good sized chunks. use room temp for sandwiches.
  3. @FauxPas think of the savings if you keep there C.O.you have. you might be able to buy a scallop , or escallop and a half . if you are lucky.
  4. @weinoo congratulation on your fine work in Portland ME never had tautog . duck looks excellent. I personally enjoy eG'rs 'doing it right '
  5. @Maison Rustique trying the vanilla version next .

    This in the NYTimes, yesterday : https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/10/well/live/fda-microdose-chocolate.html ''' t’s not clear why the bars might have sickened consumers. Diamond Shruumz has marketed the chocolates as “trippy little squares” and calls the chocolate a “microdose,” referring to a term for a small amount of a psychedelic. But the company has said the bars do not contain psychedelic substances, including psilocybin, the hallucinogenic drug found in so-called magic mushrooms. Instead, Diamond Shruumz says its products have “nootropic and functional mushrooms,” like Lion’s Mane, Reishi and Chaga mushrooms. ,,, '''' “Our initial belief is that it’s something else that truly isn’t psilocybin but close enough to give that effect, which is why it’s being marketed as a microdosing edible,” said Dr. Steven Dudley, director of the Arizona Poison and Drug Information Center. '' '''' Mushroom chocolates have grown more popular in recent years, as companies capitalize on a wealth of research around — and consumer interest in — psilocybin '''' ,,,, There is little regulatory oversight of these chocolates, which sometimes contain psilocybin or other compounds that can induce a psychedelic effect. And most of the products are not independently tested to confirm what they contain — which makes it all but impossible for consumers to know what they’re getting in a mushroom chocolate bar. ''' ,,,, “It really worries me from a public health standpoint: Trying to commercialize these with no regulation whatsoever means you might have all kinds of things being placed into these kinds of products,” ,,, ,,,, Some bars branded as “mushroom” chocolates may contain psilacetin, sometimes called 4-AcO-DMT, a compound that produces similar effects to psilocybin ,,, etc.

  9. Lunch : pizza-is in there AF similar ingredients as mentioned above. turned out very well for me the Nan-ish can get cracker like if one is not careful. this was perfect for me to satisfy a pizza-dish itch. everything from TJ's except the green tabasco , my favorite. can't get anything close to this in mymtown ( bad =ish ) I can makenthis any time ( bad-is ) might have a second soon. had it w an ice ice cold can ic cider , from TJ's : its excellent ice ice cold , in an ice cold glass . stands up to ice , it does !
  10. decided to ty these : decent. the packaging suggest these might not do well re: crunch in a humid environment.

    @mgaretz where did you get those bangers ? Ive never had the type of banger here like the ones Ive had at B&B's all over GB and Ireland. Id love to find them these were finely ground a bit like weiswurst , but the light brown in color, rather than grey they were consistently the same all over GB. in B&B's
  14. @paulraphael excellent point. Im guessing that if you want to weigh something large like a sheet pan , on this scale , you would have to ' turn ' the pan so that the longer dimension is ' up and down ' in relation to the readings so that you can see them . rather than l to right , covering the reading ? interesting problem.

    @Maison Rustique indeed ML sandwiches are very hard to beet . and mayo is a requirement.
  19. I used to get the ' uncured ' pepperoni. in the Brevelle , which I no longer use. It was OK for an easy pizza fix. they had two thin crust items from France. https://chewingthefat.us.com/2017/02/attention-trader-joes-shoppers-this-tj.html they were very good , w real 'French ' flavor difficult to bake correctly there was a second one , w french ham , can't find a pic. if you know what I mean : the two French Croque's Mr and Mrs are very french' difficult to produce outside of France , as the simple ingredients are hard to duplicate : French ham has a very different salt content than USA et.

    ' Not Fried Rice ' Mise : sorry for the blur. no Idea why the iPhone wasn't clear about its asignment 1 heaping cup ( USA ) of Dawat basmati rice , completely rinsed. window green onion ( 2 ) Not Red home made char sui , diced Red onion , diced two eggs , beaten not pic'd hand full TJ's bagged spinach , chopped roughly into the 3 C Induction Zo. when the Zo ' jingles ' , I open and fluff up. my proportions for rice // water are one heaping USA cup basmati rice , 1 1/2 cup water. When cooked , the rice seems a bit wet. but after fluffing , w the lid open for a bit , it ends up perfect for my taste. firm , not wet the 3 cup Zo does not leave a lot of head room , for Mix-Ins in the rice cooker bowl so I use a SS bowl Back in the day , I used to use my 10 cup Panasonic w 2 heaping cups of basmati , and had plenty of room for mix-ins. some reduced salt SoySauce , and the chopped spinach. I add the spinach to the hot mixture ' room temp ' and it wilts just a but , but has some crunch. the eggs are cooked in a fondless , until firm then chopped a bit. my Rice Bowl : Id be happy w this rice , in any restaurant in Chinatown. forgot how tasty this is , and easy to make. leftovers for breakfast tomorrow. in the past , making 2 heaping cups , w more mix-ins , I had several quarts of this sort of thing in the refrigerator for a few days . eaten cold , during the humid summer : very very nice.

    @Norm Matthews Im voting for saving some for Brisket Hash
  23. @Smithy yes . however , the cut side is thick , as you would expect. but the other side is the one I use as you note the red silicone at the top. it does not have a sharp edge , and the edge is not flexible next the standard Rubbermaid . similar size. again , it does not have a sharp , flexible edge . in this size its OK . it does possible heavier work than the green ones . the cut one is the second from the bottom and the bottom one is the smaller size . it's nice , but the shaft is too short for larger hands. the Rubbermaid is fine in this size. . Id like a sharp edge. the Rubbermaid comes in larger sizes built for heavier work , size wise . but I find the larger sizes of RM have shafts that are too flexible for the work intended. but they do work. after all , RM'ds are in most professional kitchens but for every day work , I like the thin, sharp flexible edge. too bad the style is not made in similar RM larger sizes . but I dont make 2 lbs ++ of stiff cookie dough , in my KA 6 qt ' professional 'mixer' any more , as I sued too . RM worked , but w the wrong flexibility in the shaft. Ill give a Kudos to RM though : th shafts are red , always a good idea. P.S.: for that price , buy tow sets : one large , one Lg //Sm cut one edge off the small , close to the shaft ( it cuts easily w kitchen shears ) and see how y0ou like it. do the same for a large , and see. pls posts results if you try this. P.P.S.: the shaft has stainless steel in it. so you could cut off one side until you are just short of the SS. but I dont know how long the SS is. it might not go to the very edge of the colored area.
  24. the various silicone spatulas that Ive tried that look similar to several recently mentioned inc. Mrs. Anderson's slim baking spatula I have problems with . the edge is not sharp , and and its stiff . I bumped into these : HiramWare Silicone Spatula Set of 4 - Heat Resistant Flexible Spatula 450F with Stainless Steel Core - Food Grade Premium Good Grip Kitchen Utensils - Seamless, Heavy Duty, BPA Free, Dishwasher Safe (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) the edge is sharp , thin , and the spatula has variable stiffness as you move from the edge to the shaft. Ive gotten two sets , and cut one , easily to fit cleanly into a standard jar the size that Heinz gravy comes in . it's a family standard jar so the one trimmed for this works for similar jars .
