Sorry, I have no knowledge of the Instant Pot. My pressure cookers are Fissler, and I plan to cook Rancho Gordo beans tonight.

That thought had crossed my mind.

Amazon price is down to $626.98. Wish I had counter space. And had $626.98.

The current week's issue of The Economist has an article on replacements.com, where some of us source previously loved glassware and tableware. Apparently replacements.com is a huge operation. Unless sold as seconds, their offerings are indistinguishable from new.

Ultrasonic cleaner?

In Liquid Intelligence (p248) Dave Arnold gives suggestions on using SP-L for removing pith from citrus peels -- with the exception of limes, which are too acidic. Soak the peels in a solution of SP-L 4g per liter for several hours. I particularly enjoy SP-L treated grapefruit segments with the pith removed.

Try Pectinase SPL to remove the pith then candy.

Whole Foods has De Cecco at $2.79.

Worked great thank you! I am embarrassed because a friend gave me the same advice and I did not take her suggestion.

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.

How can I get baked on curry out of the bottom of my Le Creuset? (Don't ask.)

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.

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.

I recently got a Made In carbon steel pan to review. Looks similar but smaller.

"Minimum order is four (4) plants." Though I really enjoyed reading about the varieties.
