    And definitely pricey!
  3. The left out the "corned duck" recipe—page 25—in the preview on Amazon! Sonsabitches!
  4. I'm still plugging away with the original ANOVA and two old Sous Vide Magics. Unfortunately, over time, the skirt doesn't fit tightly...so it tends to flop around coming in contact with the impeller. I need to be very careful when mounting it.

    Many brats have zero sugar. I need to get back to making my own. BTW: One tsp. of sugar weighs ~5 grams. 2 grams of sugar is a lot for those of us who are simple-carbohydrate intolerant or following a low-carb or ketogenic diet, or lifestyle.
  6. I'm hoping they'll discount them during the holiday season.

    Unfortunately, I've found that most of the sausages are damn expensive and loaded with sugar, IMHO.
  8. Not weird! Stoooooopid!!!!!!

    Yes, most commercial cream is now ultra-pasteurized. And the price is up to $1.99 per pint now.
  10. It will with a super-burner!!! Will totally kick it's ass! LOL "High heat, jet burners can produce up to 432,000 BTU of heat per square foot of burner area." Source: https://tejassmokers.com/Jet-Burners/32
  11. "Gas range, 7,000 BTU burner: time to boil 1 quart of 60°F water was 8 minutes 30 seconds, consuming 992 BTUs of heating energy. Induction cooker: same pot, same temperature and quantity of water, the burner draws 1,300 watts (4,436 BTUs) at the highest setting and took 5 minutes 50 seconds to boil. Total electrical consumption was 0.126 kilowatt-hour of electricity, equivalent to 430 BTUs of heating energy." He doesn't explain exactly how he reached this conclusion. The comments following the article are also very interesting.

  13. @ratgirlny What exactly was the "multicooker?"

  15. Hellmann's has changed in recent years. Lots of old fans bitch about it. I wish I could find a good prepared mayo without, sugar, soybean or canola oil.
  16. Yes, that's a Ruhlman trick too. You can even 'rinse' more of the thin white off the egg under a very fine stream of water. Now I'm starting to give away some of my secrets!
  17. Nanny Bittman Out-of-control control-freak!!!
  18. So the very upper part of the handle is about parallel with the business end of the spoon?
  19. FWIW, I haven't had a problem sealing FoodSaver-type bags with the VP215. Actually, I bought them via eBay and I think they may be just a tad heavier that FoodSaver bags.
  20. Within the past 2 years I bought another Hawkins stainless steel pressure cooker. I'm not a fan of electric pressure cookers as many others are. The new one is the 3 liter size. I now have 3 liter, 6 liter and 10 liter Hawkins SSers in addition to the big All Americans. I also bought a bunch of the Lodge cast iron serving ware. 4 of the tiny 3.5 inch skillets. Several products featured on this page.
  21. Apparently that's correct... Too bad the USDA took over organic regulation several years ago. The organic standards used to be MUCH more strict!!!! "Origin of Livestock (§205.236) Poultry intended for slaughter or egg production must be under continuous organic management beginning no later than the second day of life. Accepted  Day old chicks purchased from a conventional hatchery  Poultry over one day old purchased from certified organic sources Prohibited  Purchase of chicks from a conventional hatchery that have not been managed organically from the second day of life" Source: https://www.ams.usda.gov/sites/default/files/media/Poultry - Guidelines.pdf
  22. No, I don't believe so. Check the organic standards.
  23. The chickens were raised and slaughtered in batches over the summer. See cervical dislocation here. The knife was used for proper bleeding out. We had a 'scalder' and a barrel plucker that would pluck about 6-7 birds at a time. Most of the chickens were sold to customers—there's an exemption for very small small operations.
  24. FWIW, We used to dispatch and process about 1,300 chickens raised on pasture every summer. For dispatching we used a Dexter Russell Sani-Safe 3" Poultry Sticker 11043 S128
