  1. @OlyveOyl, what is the shape of this pie tin? How do you get that indentation? That is a truly enticing looking dessert. Do you have a smear of something under the raspberries?
  2. Oh, yum, @Pete Fred ! You're lucky you live in France, else I would come over and eat them all !

    Sous Vide Duck Confit

    I was not actually trying for confit. Should I be?

    Sous Vide Duck Confit

    Original post edited to add: I should add that the reason I want to keep the original packaging is that the text describing package contents is legible. I write a lot of stuff on the outside of the s.v. bag in a fat black marker (including the date purchased, weight, the temp/time/date cooked). After vacuum sealing, the bag is usually badly wrinkled, so almost illegible. And I don't want to defrost it just to read it.

    Sous Vide Duck Confit

    Well, it came from somewhere on eGullet. Not sure whether I could find original reference. What temp/time would you suggest I try next?
  6. Am sure I've read about this question before, but my searches aren't working. Just purchased a dozen duck legs from d'Artagnan which I want to sous vide. Each package has two legs, so a perfect division. The legs will go in a 3.5 mil vacuum sealer bag for later freezing. They'll be cooked 160ºF for 28 hours. What I don't know is whether to remove the original packaging first?

    Breakfast 2025

    Google translate is not much help. In Estonian, Mett means honey. But in German, it means Mett.
  8. On the front panel or on the app on a cell phone?
  9. Looking forward to hearing about your experience.
  10. Worse than that, @JoNorvelleWalker, is when I've hit the Descale button in place of the steam. Hitting Descale requires unplugging the oven in order to cancel it!
  11. I've done that ! 🤣
  12. @chromedome and @rotuts, I'm just beside myself !!
  13. WTF? @chromedome, they're calling this WINE? 🤢
  14. What's a "peep" @chromedome ?

    Breakfast 2025

    @Ann_T, you really have the most amazing breakfasts!
  16. Laughable, @Tropicalsenior ! On top of that, in Firefox, only the first few paragraphs can be read. As one rolls down the menu page, the cursor pops back up to the top of the page. Fortunately, in this case, as I really don't want to read any more about the chocolate dessert.
  17. Spice Trekkers https://spicetrekkers.com/ also sell whole spices, so you can keep them around for a while.
  18. @Duvel, thank you for coming back. Lovely to see you and your Dad.
  19. Oh. Doesn't give us much scope for complaint, then? 😬
  20. I thought the reason this packaging was introduced was to make shoplifting more difficult. But many things are bought online now, aren't they. What do you think we can do about it? Send packaging to our senators and representatives?

    Dinner 2025

    Neely, that cake looks tremendous! I tried to google it but found only an apple & almond cake from Nigella, which I'm sure isn't the right recipe. Could you please tell me a bit more about the cake?
  22. Some of those shirts are almost profane. (One imagines lumpy body parts).

    Dinner 2025

    Lovely pool shot, @gulfporter. Dins too, of course. How do you make pecan couscous?
  24. Thank you, @liamsaunt, for another lovely trip.

    Dinner 2025

    This looks incredible! Could you please elucidate the details of the recipe? I tried googling "essen & trinken" and was not successful. Edited to add: I have found the original German recipe and have engaged google's sometimes peculiar translating services. PM me if you want English version I didn't find the right recipe. Could you please post a link?
