    Diacetyl is a naturally occurring substance that gives butter its characteristic flavor and aroma, and is often a component of artificial flavoring formulations. Acetoin, a closely related chemical, also occurs naturally and is an ingredient in many flavoring formulations, perfumes and essences. Artificial Butter Flavorings (ABF) Components https://www.popcornsupply.com/flavacol-butter-flavored-seasoned-salt So what makes the buttery flavor?

    I saw that too - that's the stuff in the Flavacol, right?

    Yeah I'd rather stick to butter and salt too. Cheddar cheese powder might be interesting however...

    No - measuring and weighing is.

    Nice. A little more work than I’m looking for when making popcorn, but whatever works. You gotta get together with the ice cream guys; imagine the popcorn ice creams you could pacotize!
  6. Nothing from bulk bins for this shopper. I don’t think they are cared for properly. As mentioned previously, The Rice Factory mills to order and to spec. All my Japanese rices come from them.

    Only stovetop for us. Popped in duck fat (but will use avocado oil or another high heat oil) and butter. Nary an old maid in this pop.
  8. I think this may accelerate the process. I think you're better off buying rice in sealed bags. It's not more expensive, considering the expense of throwing stuff out.
  9. The laws are crazy, but this appears to be fairly current (2020):
  10. Or no one at Ninja Shark can count?
  11. Or maybe the last time they actually cleaned the bin. Even if @KennethT or I dump the rice out of the jar, the smell remains until that jar is washed out! White flour spoils too, and emits a very similar smell when it's old.
  12. Yeah - they're not counting the respin in the 5 or 7.
  13. Yeah - this is the hybrid I was thinking about above...delicious. I still buy true Concords when I (rarely) see them; their season is quite short. These Thomcords, a cross between Thompson seedless and Concord, are able to take the heat of California and have a tougher skin. True Concords can't deal with that heat. The Concord parent grapes (Catawba & Delaware) makes very nice pet nat and still wines...being produced in the Finger Lakes region (and in very small quantities so far). I look forward to their Concord grape wine!
  14.

Select the Re-spin option to reprocess and the Mix-in option to mix a treat into your CREAMi™ delight. $129.95
  15. All sorts of model numbers...but the manual is for the whole series CREAMi™ NC300 Series OWNER'S GUIDE Product series Ninja™ CREAMi™ Model #s NC301, CN301CO, CN305A, NC300, NC301C, NC301HNV, NC301HRD, NC301HRG, NC301HSL, NC301HWH
  16. I think so, absolutely. And I know that smell you're referring to!

    Think this is key, as we learned (didn't we?) with steaks and getting them evenly cooked throughout.

    Sometimes, I get a little careless with measuring...
  19. Whynter. Works great. And I don’t even have to take the base’s temperature nor freeze it overnight.
  20. I'm waiting for 2.0, and to hear about its sturdiness. I had my Lello for like 15 years and then gifted it to a friend.
  21. I’m not over thinking; I’m not even buying.
  22. Same here and I like those dense, blue foam ones. They work well. I do have a nice pair of noise cancelling headphones, Jabra, which are great but I just don't want to be wearing them in the kitchen! I only wish I'd started earplugs a long time ago, as my hearing isn't what it once was - and this noisy city is certainly no great help!

  24. good post, and certainly the reason to soak / season both glazed and unglazed cazuelas. I don’t wash mine in the dishwasher either, since the once time I did, I felt like it picked up a funky smell maybe from the d/w soap. It cleans so easily after a simple soak I. Plain water for 1/2 an hour.
