For employment reasons I am not currently in kitchen toy buying mode at the moment, but I have discovered a weakness in my battery of cookware: Tonight is the third time I've made Mark Bittman's NY Times Crisp-Braised Duck Legs With Aromatic Vegetables. Obviously I like it. Amanda Hesser critiques Bittman's recipe, saying that when she prepared the dish in her Le Creuset, the duck stuck to the pan. She says to use a non-stick pan if you have one. When I cooked the Crisp-Braised Duck Legs the two times before I used my Berdes non-stick wok. This was great except the Berdes exactly does not quite fit in my Anova Prescision Oven. Tonight I decided to try La Creuset. I can't say I was not forewarned. The duck stuck to the pot. It's always great when I achieve the same results as the New York Times. So what I need is an induction compatible (I can't live without my Paragon) non-stick braising vessel that fits in the APO. For the application in question a lid is not required. Thoughts?

Pasta looks delicious!

As did mine, but when I bought another jar it came with hard. The two lids are interchangeable.

Fellow Blendtec fans: when do you use the soft lid and when do you use the hard lid?

You were expecting a Ninja CREAMi?

Not any more.

$69 Paragon.

Dinner -- I couldn't finish the potato, I couldn't finish the arctic char, I couldn't finish the coleslaw -- but it was good.

I want to get a Laowa probe lens like Nathan uses.

I keep meaning to try @nathanm's method of storing bread under an atmosphere of CO2.

Amazon will deliver McConnel's to me but they haven't figured out how to deliver it still frozen.

After perusing recipes for duck, dinner was bread and cheese. That is, until I observed the bread was moldy. Rather like my place of employment at the moment.

Duh. I thought it was the large thing in the lower left of @ElsieD's picture.

Yes, but my Ninja sits on a very high counter! I turned the unit over on its side. I still don't see any spiral thing. Could it be with the packaging material? I did notice some strawberry on the shaft, so I guess I need to clean better.

I don't see any spiral thing on mine?

Our local Shoprite occasionally offers monkfish heads. So far I have passed.

Beans.

How much is the bottle holder? They might get arrested for a model in the shower.

One advantage over the hardback edition is the weight is only 2.08 ounces.

Odd though that it ships from and is sold by amazon.

One way to find out.

Scam?

There is a Jaguar Land-Rover dealership a short walk from my doorstep. Perhaps I should visit them.
