@Smithy, you had me at Poached Pears and Proscuitto Salad, the first food item on the list. But, I agree, that Florentine Eggs Benedict was absolutely tops . . . and that's without even tasting it!

@Dejah, your photos look so good. Could you please point me to a good recipe for wonton filling? And also, instructions for folding the wonton. Do you use fresh or canned water chestnuts? Thanks.

Oh, @Pete Fred, that tarte fine aux pommes is gorgeous! Could you please send us a recipe to follow? 😋

Does anyone know if it's possible to put cleaned sweet chile peppers upright in the feed tube and then have the slicer slice thin rings? (I have the machine out and dirty already).

Taking a tip from @ElsieD here, I just diced up 6 cups of onion on my way to making @ElainaA's slow roasted tomatoes.

Nope. Me too.

Can I be your neighbour, @Steve Irby ?

Yes, @Smithy, I warm viands in a sous vide bath set at 5ºF or so below original cooking temperature.

If you cook the chickent thighs sous vide, all the prep work will be done! See Serious Eats for possible cooking temperatures. My personal experience is that spicing (mustard, lemon) can wear out over a long cook, so you may want to refresh your spices, or, cover raw chicken with s + p, cook it sous vide, chill it in ice and then refrigerate. (Serious Eats says you can hold the cooked chicken for up to 4 days.) On the day of serving, make the spice/sauce In a very, very, very hot pan add a few drops of high heat oil (Grapeseed), wipe out with paper towel. Brown the skin for only 30-90 seconds (the chicken is already cooked) @rotuts ? @weinoo ?

Thanks, @blue_dolphin.

New question, though I've probably asked it before. When one starts cooking dried beans (r.g. Ranco Gordo) is it necessary to bring the soaked beans to a hard boil* ? RG Green Baby Limas have been soaked for 6 hours. *(except for Kidney beans which must boil for 10 minutes) @blue_dolphin ?

@ElsieD, the baguette pan from King Arthur fits in the Anova steam oven. I have some copper sheets which go under the pan which behave like a baking pan. I've made baguettes twice, not very successfully. I'm looking to Norm to help me figure out how to do this right 🙃

Norm, I've tried using sourdough, but with less success than you. These loaves all look delicious. So do the photos on your blog dated 02 September.

On Saturday at 9:30 a.m. I put frozen pork shoulder into a pot of cold water and set the temperature of the Joule to 133ºF. It's supposed to sous vide for 72 hours. How much time do I add to the 72 hours to accomodate the frozen meat and cold water? Can I keep the Joule going until dinner time (~ 77 hours) ?

I agree about the salt. With add-ins, that makes too much food, @rotuts. I used 2 packets noodles resulting in 4 generous meals!

Last night I made my first noodle bowl with added chicken thighs, fresh tomatoes, slow roasted tomatoes, couple handfuls spinach and two jammy eggs. No photos. I need some advice. If making packets of ramen noodles, how many packets do you add per person eating? (We're usually 2 eating) Do you use the sauce packet from the ramen noodles? If not, what kind of seasoning do you do? How do you sequence the cooking? We started with the noodles. By the time all ingredients were combined, the noodles were soggy. So, not a good order. Any other tips? I went through this year's Dinner and Lunch threads looking for photos of noodle bowl meals, hence a call out to @btbyrd, @liamsaunt, @Neely, @Ann_T, @johnnyd and @liuzhou. Thanks.

That looks terrific! Could you please tell me how to make jammy eggs?

Aah @Pete Fred, @Smithy is an enabler of many things . . . 😄

@weinoo, sorry to have a sieve for a brain, but I don't remember what you said - I put rather a lot of salt on the chicken I've dry brined. I'm thinking I should wash it off before cooking. Right?

Rats! Those photos look just fabulous. I was sooo looking forward to making what I was imagining to be something very tasty. ☹️

Surprise, surprise. After all this time, I've just learned that if you're selecting an oven temperature from the front panel and, keeping your finger steady on the + or - button, if you lean your finger to the left, the temp will go up (or down) in tens of degrees, instead of one degree at a time. (I don't use the app, except for dubious Anova toast 🙃 ).

Oooh, looks delish! Could you please provide a recipe, or general instructions, for your rosemary Meyer Lemon bread?

@bokreta Missing link?

How far is the vegetable stall? Here my family goes to the grocery store once weekly (sometimes twice) and, in summer, to the farmers' market on Saturday. So that's vegetables once weekly. All trips by car, travelling several miles.

Thanks, @rotuts. Where do I get these towels (in quantity)?
