  1. I continue to use my Paragon daily. However last week I ran into a problem. After five and a half years of faithful service the temperature sensor in the mat seems to have malfunctioned. I was cooking pancakes at 375F with the mat on rapid precise. The readout never reached much above 240F, but the pan was clearly hotter than 375F. I ran to the living room and retrieved a new mat from one of my two unopened spares. Today's pancakes were perfect. All the other parts of my original Paragon are still going strong.
  2. How can I get baked on curry out of the bottom of my Le Creuset? (Don't ask.)
  3. Batch 41: 90g blanched Spanish almonds 90g apricot kernels 350g water 280g sugar 60ml Wray & Nephew Overproof As prophesied I went back to the hotel pan for mixing.
  4. Just for fun I tried frying eggs in the new Made In carbon steel pan I am reviewing. The eggs stuck. Not badly, but the help of a spoon was required for release. The eggs looked fine on the plate. I suspect doing a single egg at a time would work better.
  5. I recently got a Made In carbon steel pan to review. Looks similar but smaller.
  6. "Minimum order is four (4) plants." Though I really enjoyed reading about the varieties.
  7. I perused the Burpee site today. I'm allowed to have one plant on my balcony, or maybe two. I would love tomatoes. There is a sale. But from Burpee one has to order plants in multiples of three. I'm not sure I have the energy. Or the funds.
  8. Those are the brand I love! I use them to make Momofuku ranch dressing.
  9. Pressing the Wi-Fi and start buttons stops descaling too. Ask me how I know.
  10. I placed two orders during the recent Penzeys sale. I stocked up on saffron, vanilla, and black pepper. @Sid Post in addition to Spice Trekkers you might like The Spice House. https://www.thespicehouse.com/ At the moment The Spice House prices look lower than Penzeys.
  11. Crust didn't crackle after baking and the crumb was closed. Yet the taste was excellent, better than most loaves I bake these days.
  12. The baking employed a novel temperature spectrum.
  13. When baking baguettes I shall never again turn off my Anova oven while intending to turn off the steam.
  14. Send our senators and representatives packing. The husband of a friend is a packaging engineer. I marvel at some bewildering examples. What first comes to mind is containers of refrigerated fresh pickles that spill half the liquid while getting off the lid. Next are the almost impossible to open vacuum sealed packages of chicken parts. Of course I am old and candy wrappers are often a challenge too.
