  1. Welcome @jinenjo. Hope you enjoy some searches! Plenty of great folk here.
  2. Hi Carol. Welcome to eGullet where there are many fine and interesting folks! Looking forward to learning more about you.
  3. Hello Farzaneh. Welcome!
  4. Because I've been following this topic, Amazon is sending me links to silverware here. Looks similar to yours?
  5. Like @IndyRob and @gfweb, I was searching for information about sous vide. And thank you, everyone, for the unending education!

    Shai, these look delightful indeed. Could you please provide a recipe for them?

    Shai, it's a gorgeous dish. sorry but I'm unable to figure out what a "Cautious" is. Can you help? Looks tasty.
  8. I once had a New Year's day party where everyone got enough bacon (2 racks in each of 2 ovens). I baked it for an hour. (IIRC 350F). Not messy.
  9. Rob, this looks enticing. Since I, and maybe others, have no idea what's refrigerated and what is not, could you please say?
  10. Hi Chris. Could you please explain what are "pressure-carmelized" grains?

    Kim, I vaguely remember. Done in the Instant Pot on Ultra, no pressure, probably High. The beans had chopped onions, then 1/2" or so rich stock (with chicken fat) was added and cooked for about an hour. Then the potatoes were added and steam/cooked about half an hour; then the potatoes were flipped over, for another half hour. The total time was somewhere between 2-3.5 hours. When the potatoes were almost done, I lowered the heat. These were new potatoes, so very fresh.
  12. In 2013 dinner thread, @dcarch posted about sous vide pork belly with crispy skin (great photos). Since I can no longer post in that thread, I'm posting here. This is what dcarch said: After many years of trying, finally perfect cracklin' skin on perfectly juicy tender meat! Here are the steps: 1. Poke a million holes on the skin. Season and rub well all meat surfaces. 2. Use a flat tray and make the skin lay very flat, and freeze pork belly. 3. While it is still frozen, boil the skin side in shallow boiling water to cook the skin only. 4. After the skin has been well cooked, and the meat is still frozen because of the fat layer, sous vide the pork belly the normal way. I did 24 hours. 5. Take the pork belly out from sous vide bag and dry with paper towel. 6. Wrap Heavy duty alum foil all around, exposing only the skin. 7. Lay foiled pork belly (food safety) on a rack in a dehydrator set at 150F (food safety!) face down so the skin will be flat and fat can be drained away. Dehydrate overnight. 8. In a pre-heated 400F oven, bake the pork belly face up with the alum foil on a cold pizza stone. 9. Don't walk away. In a few minutes, the skin will puff up beautifully. 10. Let the pork belly get to room temperature and the skin will be unbelievable on the most amazing juicy tender sous vided (24 hours +12 hours) pink meat. 11. Find a way to divide the skin up equally or you will end up with big fights. 🙂 <end quote> re: #3, how long does one boil the skin side? re: #7, I have no dehydrator. What do you recommend?
  13. @Marvinator, have you tried google image search?
  14. I have King Arthur Flour's Whole Grain Baking which cites ingredients in ounces. Perhaps a used book might help you. Also, you could spend some time on the website (which does offer ingredients in grams). King Arthur Flour has changed their name to King Arthur Baking.
  15. Indeed. @kayb speaks the truth: watch your wallet! Welcome @Marvinator. Many very entertaining folk here.

    Dinner 2020

    For me it was too rare, I think. The fat was stringy and got stuck between my teeth; at he end of dinner, I had a little pile of fat on the side (which was hard to remove). DH, on the other hand, just ate his. I also didn't like flavour of the marrow, too bloody perhaps. Next time I will try 135°F or 137°F.

    Several eG posts were my inspiration. Thanks to @rotuts @Shelby @mgaretz @Kim Shook @ambra @shain I found some discounted veal shank cross cut which was sous vide at 130°F for 2.5 days and then sautéed for seconds at high heat. Green beans with sautéed onion, new potatoes, chicken stock, smoked Spanish paprika, nutritional yeast, splash of red wine vinegar at end. Sautéed Shiitake mushrooms, juice from sous vide bag, five spice, butter, cornstarch.

    Define briefly. An hour?
  19. Yes, volume measurement is a totally demented method. 🤣
  20. There are two copies here @Mutleyracers. Let me know if they can't ship to UK.
  21. How close to the broiler do you position your pizzas? @JoNorvelleWalker @blue_dolphin @Chris Hennes @Duvel . . . actually everyone!

    Oh, Shai. Delicious! Recipe, please?
  23. Why "yikes" @rotuts ?
  24. At the market today, I bought some marked down veal shank cross cut (about 1.25" thick). I couldn't find veal in Baldwin's book (he has such a lousy index) but Chris McDonald says veal shanks can be cooked like lamb shanks (as both are less than one year old). What time and temp?
  25. Or niece.
