  1. I certainly get that there can be chefs that people just "don't like" for whatever reasons. but, all of your pictures look fabulous, and I had an incredible dinner at Dinner years ago. I love the place. sorry for resurrecting this, but...
  2. 300 degree 'juice' cracked the (maybe) 450 degree rim??? seriously?
  3. so... tonight I placed a Pyrex 10" pie plate under the broiler to char some tomatillos and onions (something I've done 100 times before) then I pulled it out and went to tip it over into the blender jar, and the plate literally exploded into shards in my hand. It never touched anything, over than perhaps the lip of the polycarbonate blender jar (which was far from 'cold'), when it just burst anyone else seen this? I know they don't make Pyrex like they used to (sad to say) but this seemed uncalled for. I wasn't planning on my salsa being quite this crunchy.

  10. Agreed. also, there is a push in some circles to 'rename' Sous Vide as 'low temperature cooking'. Which I think might be over simplistic (which by the way isn't a synonym for "simple", and it drives me up a tree how often I hear it used that way, but...) but at least makes the point that SV cooking is most useful for its ability to maintain accurate, controlled low temperatures over time. But the time you're cooking at !80F or so, you might as well be braising in an oven or on the stove top.
  11. I’m assuming that one day America’s Test Kitchen will get something right ... but I’m still waiting.

  13. If the bag doesn't sink naturally I use small stainless steel clips to the top of the rack to hold the bags in place like these: ANDRIMAX Chip Bag Clips, 8PCS Premium Stainless Steel Chip Clips with 3 Inch Wide, All-Purpose Heavy-Duty Seal Grip Clips
