@Smithy, I usually experiment on my dinner guests too! (I would like to have been invited to that dinner 😋 )

At the time I thought I noticed which ingredient made the consultant choose one way or the other, but I don't remember. My guesses are: yes to bread machine if the flour was bread flour yes to bread machine if the leavening agent was yeast.

@Duvel I'm also interested in a recipe for simple flatbread. In my case, I use a bread machine to knead dough because my hands don't work well enough. I have conferred with a consultant on King Arthur Flour's Bakers Hotline who searched through their published recipes to identify which recipes can be done with the bread machine. They are: Quick and Easy Flatbreads Naan Soft Wrap Bread Sourdough Naan Can't say much about these recipes as I haven't actually made any of them yet. 🙄 Edited to add that I don't know how the KAF consultant chose bread-machine or no-bread-machine for the flatbread recipe, i.e. what the selection criteria was.

Shel, this is Opinel. I'm not seeing any part numbers on the knives. P.S. I started this investigation because you wrote about Knife 112.

@Shel_B, I meant to find or look at them on the website (I didn't find any numbers at all).

Shel, how does one display the model number (i.e. 112) ?

@rotuts, the recipe book I checked in said to cook the sandwich for 3 or 4 minutes (only). I did around 8 minutes. Do you think I could go longer?

Okay. Bakery country sourdough, sliced thinly. Butter on inside, mayo outside All the panini recipes I looked up added cheese to bacon, so I added about 4 ounces aged cheddar cheese. 0.5 pound bacon steam roasted in Anova, 4 slices each sandwich 2 small tomatoes from neighbour's garden, seeds and water removed. Handful of fresh arugula. On the Cuisinart Panini Press, I selected Panini Press and chose, as the heat level, the mark between medium and high. I pre-heated the device. Here's what I got after 8 minutes The markings on the bread were very light. Obviously the heat needs to be higher. At what setting/temperature do you folks grill panini? Also this was very greasy. DH didn't seem to mind it, but I was uncomfortable all evening. Suggestions?

@Smithy @ElsieD @rotuts, I'm thinking I'd like to have some cooked bacon available for panini sandwiches. I coud roast/steam a pound of bacon in the Anova steam oven in one fell swoop. Then I keep the bacon to use later. How do I keep the bacon? Freeze it?

If you were to make a Frito Pie, Shel, how would you make it?

Only on Day 3 !!

@Smithy, were you intending to add a recipe? (Not that I'll ever need it!)

The blade is indeed sharp. This one has a bunch of safety features, which may diminish injury. We'll see!

Corn cutter from Lee Valley Tools (US site) The packaging said to go and watch a one minute video which would tell you all about it. This thing is a marvel.

What delicious food! If you go back to Stars would you please ask about Ode to Vegetables which is in the Farm Showcase section. If I'm reading correctly, the vegetables will come as Tempura, with various sauces. The vegetables are no doubt chosen for their freshness. I'm really curious about what a likely selection of vegetables would be.

Hello Greg, I'm really looking forward to your posting about your discoveries! eG is a great place and you'll soon have a bunch of friends. Welcome.

We used to call them soup spoons and dessert spoons. (to differentiate)

Me thirteen.

Some eG discussion was moved. See a picture of the inside of @Tropicalsenior's wonderful banana bread. Moist! Delicious!

@Tropicalsenior, now that's dedication! Thank you!

GABA brown rice takes a LOT longer that regular brown rice. Has an earthier flavour than regular brown rice.

Hurray for the good conscience, @Duvel !

😂 My Zo bread machine no longer allows me to set the time, so it's permanently in either Daylight or Daylight Savings . . .

I unplug it in between uses. I'm not sure what it thinks the date is, but the time is right. I'm not remembering exactly whether I changed the time during Daylight/Daylight Savings. Kenneth, I can set what time I want the rice done. Although I have more than once set the rice for 6 (instead of 18:00) ! Porridge for 6 am does sound good though. @rotuts, my plug does NOT detach. @gfweb, for sound one can choose between Melody, Beep, and Mute. Begin Cooking or Set Time plays "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star". Completion of task plays "Amaryllis"

I had NO idea this scoop stood up on its own! Thanks, @rotuts
