  1. when i make turkey stock in th iPot just turkey carcass I cool , defat and freeze in bricks then vacuum seal and freeze. I use the bricks for the next carcass rather than water and get to 4 x at least . ie the bricks are used 4 times thus I do not need to boil off the water . I open a frozen brick , chop off a tranch , quickly reseal in the same bag and put the brick back in the freezer for another day. with this system there is no salt or seasonings . the turkey carcass starts out raw .
  2. @liamsaunt very interesting menus thank you for sharing.
  3. as I understand it the buzz on all these stand alone ovens is that they get much hotter than a conventional 30 " ( or larger ) kitchen oven. should that be the case the pizza that comes out of them might be cooked faster . and faster implies added deliciousness I personally dont know what to make of the last conclusion Ive had outstanding commercial pizza in several well known places . none seemed to take 3 minutes . so I can't comment on the 3 minute taste .

    Exactly . Diner peas are excellent w a bit of gravy .
  5. well , indoor pizza ovens have ' made it .' in today's NYTimes Food ' Front Burner ' section [ small blurbs to keep you on top of things ] they chose Cuisinart Indoor Pizza Oven, Portable Countertop Pizza Oven that Bakes 12" Pizzas in Minutes, Stainless Steel, CPZ-120 (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) (in case someone wants to buy this one ANYWAY) ' an immensely appealing factor is the price : $ 399.95 ' guess no one from the NYTimes lurks on eG . So : how many years will it take ATK to catch on ?
  6. @palo excellent advice.
  7. @Shelby '''' over do on toppings ''' after the buzz dies down on the perfect crust its about the toppings
  8. @Shelby how thick was the dough on that pizza w the ultra-crispy peperoni ? is it possible that the ultra high temps are for pizza thats on the thinner side ? cooking the dough being the time factor to consider ?

    @Duvel another winner . do you place the spinach on the pizza raw ? or slightly blanched ? in my past , I placed it on pizza ' chopped raw ' the spinach still had some ' spinach texture ' on the final pizza.
  15. there was no humor in this thread from its onset . regurgitated propaganda ? you decide.

    Dinner 2023

    Early dinner ' sampler ' : lonely , a bit pathetic looking , but very tasty . I had to try it right now method is over here : https://forums.egullet.org/topic/155098-instant-pot-multi-function-cooker-part-5/page/77/#comment-2399281 the turkey was a little dry ,( ' well done ' in burger parlance ) as I suspected it would be based on the final internal temp but the whole thing was very tasty . Wine , rosemary , thyme , hints of garlic : very nice . I prefer to include potato skins , some might not . a serious keeper for me . easily adjusted for a more tender turkey next time . and no added commercial does of NaCl. . ( I use a different type of salt ) very nice . w lots of potential.
  17. here are my results , including the final dish , not iPot'd : my 3 qt iPot seems to not have ordered the usual required accompaniments : basket insert , etc . That has been taken care of , and they arrive next wednesday . I dusted off my 6 qt , and used 32 oz of red bliss potatoes , and two eggs . I chose 32 oz as that's the weight of the commercial mashed potatoes I use for Turkey Shepherds Pie. I didn't wasn't to make more than I could use for one unit. I chose 4 min pressure steam , low pressure . I wasn't sure the potatoes were cut small enough to be properly cooked so I added one minute ' natural release ' then released the pressure. potatoes eggs. cooled in cold water . both potatoes and eggs were refrigerated over night eggs peeled easily . the picture above needed more light . the eggs whites were tender and the yolks moist and very creamy . no green , which the picture is trying to imply. excellent eggs for deviled Id say the potatoes were mashed in a bowl w a hand masher , the chopped eggs added along w a Tbs of mayo , and a couple of Tbs of water , as the mashed potatoes were a little dry added some Window green onions for seasonings I decided to go a bit Continental . I used some whole dried Rosemary and Thyme from Penzeys , that I ground in the M&P. this was very tasty and would have made a very interesting potato salad. Ill finish up the dish here in this thread , the rest is not iP.: Turkey slab , seasoned w Rosemary , Thyme , granulated garlic 350 F CSO 12 minutes : I then added a reduced cup ++ of TJ's red table wine I had then the topping baked in a similar fashion to my other TSP 's 350 F 40 minutes . the goal is to get the turkey temp to between 125 F and 130 f . the dish finished that ends up around 135 F is very tender . higher final cooking temps end up with the beginnings of slightly tough turkey . after 40 min : there was a lot of bubbling Jus , which initially I thought might be ' free ' gravy ! the TSP temped at 172 F that Jus came from the turkey , and wine , so the turkey is going to be tough . Ill let it rest and try it tomorrow hoping for some improvement . it looked a little bland , so I torched it a bit : looks worse , this topping burns easily. but I know its going to ge tasty . and the oven timing will be improved next time , and no torching. Its refreshing to use the iPot again , as its been lonely for too long. this sort of topping is very easy to make w the iPot so thank you @OlyveOyl and @JAZ making the topping in the 3 qt next time is going to be easy and the seasonings will be my own I have about 1/2 doz or more of Penzey's salt free seasoning mixtures . Singapore might be next.
  18. its the Party , not the Science : https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/31/world/asia/china-fukushima-water-protest.html?searchResultPosition=1 ''' By exaggerating the risks from Japan’s discharge of treated wastewater, Beijing hopes to cast Japan and its allies as conspirators in malfeasance, analysts say. '' ''' In many social media posts like these, the phrase “nuclear-contaminated wastewater” has appeared — the same wording used by the Chinese government and state media to refer to Japan’s release into the ocean of treated radioactive water from the ruined Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Even before Japan started pumping out the first tranche of more than a million tons of wastewater last week, China had mounted a coordinated campaign to spread disinformation about the safety of the release, stirring up anger and fear among millions of Chinese.

    @Duvel nicely melted cheese . makes such a difference .
  20. TJ's no longer carries ordinary dried cranberries . they have organic dried , and organic dried sweetened and ordinary dried , but sweetened . the organic dried are twice the price of the ordinary sweetened. the ordinary dried has been @ TJ's si9nce the beginning of time and my favorite.

    Rinsing rice

    I had high hopes for the Inomata . when I use it , the rice sticks to the plastic and I need to use a utensil to scrape off all the bits into the rice cooker. w the stainless steel bowl , it all easily slips to the RC , w a tap or two to the SS bowl.
  23. TJ's vendors seem to be havingspmeqiality control issues recently its not rocks , nor insects , nor E.coli this time but your black bean tamale might actually be Hatcht chili w cheese . Milk allergy Recalls .
  24. PS how many eggs do you use ? these cubed potatoes to ' measure ' via the 3 qt. thank you
