  1. There was a comma in there. Nonetheless the potatoes came out great. I heated the oil (not using the Paragon) on high till the Thermapen read close to 180C. Added the potatoes in the basket and cooked for four minutes. Hard to ask for better.
  2. Some while ago I obtained a deep fry basket for one of my Fissler pressure cookers. The problem is I can find no way to use the basket with the probe. I could be wrong but I doubt the Control Freak probe would work much better. I tried using the Paragon mat for deep frying but the oil never got quite hot enough. I'm about to go fry some potatoes, soon as I finish my mai tai, over direct heat -- in case you never hear from me again.
  3. Several years ago when Amazon Fresh (not to be confused with Amazon Prime Now) was still delivering to my area, one of the third party food purveyors whose products were available from amazon was an Australian meat pie company in Philadelphia. Other people sold scrapple.
  4. The anova website features a recipe for toast. Either select the toast function from the app, or program the oven manually: top and bottom elements, 300F, 10% steam. https://oven.anovaculinary.com/recipe/vRx7WOeVrgodAM0yePQ8
  5. I still have a box from last year's vintage.
  6. My point exactly. Beans on the menu tonight.
  7. We'll be all set if there's ever a pandemic. (Assuming toilet paper.)
  8. Thanks. I'm up to about 40 lbs of beans and dreading the next mail delivery.

    Hsiao-Ching Chou dry fried green beans.
  10. Good question. For the chocolate ice cream recipe I used Carnation Malted Milk. It's what I had and what I expect she means. You could contact Rose on her site and ask.

    It had been years, maybe decades, since I'd purchased store-bought frozen French fries. We all have our limits. Not half bad.

    Dinner 2020

    I hadn't eaten all day, and all evening I imposed on my colleagues with my thoughts of dinner. I resolved on fish and spent much time researching whether fish were better defrosted or cooked from frozen. When I got home I abandoned the idea of fish and baked a couple of potatoes, served with thirty second green beans. Blueberry ice cream not shown.
  13. What are your ice cream maker choices locally?
  14. This is the za'atar I have. Canaan Fair Trade Za'atar I hadn't thought of using za'atar in salad dressing.
  15. Hey, I thought this might fit here too! Blueberry.
  16. In my experience nothing was wrong with longevity pre-Electrolux. My old anova has been going strong. The power cord of mine wore out a few years ago, however the power cord is modular.
  17. I don't understand.
  18. In that application? You mean starvation? Indeed. However only in the apocalypse, and only were humanity totally out of cauliflower.
  19. https://forums.egullet.org/topic/153704-what-food-related-books-are-you-reading-2016/?do=findComment&comment=2161946
  20. Some fruits and vegetables I like more than others. That said I can't think of any summer vegetables I dislike, beyond cauliflower, and kale, of course. To which I would add carrot tops. Not that I regard carrot tops as fit to be a foodstuff.
  21. Recipe says it makes 1.2 quarts. About the same cost as Jeni's.
  22. Rose Levy Beranbaum's blueberry. Tastes like blueberries. As perhaps it should with $17.45 worth of New Jersey blueberries in the batch. Not scoopable at -30C. Scoopable at -18C. Unlike most of Rose's recipes with up to ten yolks, this recipe is Philadelphia style. Blueberries, cream, milk. lemon juice, and sugar. Texture is delightful. Mouthfeel is good but not perfect. A bit waxy on the palate. Rose has the cold milk and cream added to the mix before chilling. In my opinion the recipe would be much improved if the milk and cream were cooked and properly homogenized. Still there is not much not to like.
  23. Oddly these nuts are very small. Tiny. I warmed them in the CSO. Tasty enough and a reasonable value for the price. I hesitate to think what gets served in steerage.
