I shall never again trust amazon nor wikipedia. This issue involves Anaheim green organic peppers. To the best of my knowledge Anaheim peppers are not supposed to be hot. I prepared tonight's Anaheim peppers without gloves. The peppers were delicious but my hand will never be the same. And then after dinner I inadvertently rubbed my nose. Just gently. Sorry if that is too much information. Cleaning up I grabbed the Darto pan. Not sure if I burned my hand because the pan was hot or if the paella was hot. In any event I need a mucus membrane transplant.

Are you the same Pankaj who posts content on the A4Box site?

Amazon imputed they had quince for sale, Dinner was going to be @Wolfert lamb and quince tagine. Amazon lied. And dinner was paella.

I rolled the second half of my KAF Crystal Diamonds dough. Maiden voyage of the JNW rolling pin! I was more pleased than I expected. The pin is heavy but the weight does the work. With the (now returned) RLB pin I had to keep pressing down on the dough. Plus the dough sticks less with mine. Now to build my reputation, mark up PTFE rod 300 percent, and market it! Unlike the RLB pin the JNW model only comes in white.

Of course.

How is this different from a cheese soufflé?

A reprise of recent sockeye, asparagus, and Bineshii Ghost wild rice. This time accompanied by Hollandaise Piment d'Espelette.

Thanks, everyone, for trying to talk me out of it.

But is there fan noise or not? As much as I adore my Paragons I wouldn't situate one on my dining table. (I infer you don't often serve takoyaki nor cheese fondue.)

Will no one save me from myself?

At the moment the only way I'd be tempted is if the A4 were silent in operation. Is it?

As reported earlier in the thread with the Paragon set to 375F (190C) in rapid precise mode, I measured 201C with my thermocouple. That accuracy was more than acceptable for my purpose. For applications where accuracy is important I would not suggest using rapid mode. (The instruction booklet says the same thing.)

Rolling pin: be careful what you wish for edition... The RLB rolling pin went back. To take its place I reached out to my favorite kitchen supply, McMaster-Carr. Tonight was delivered my new pin: a two foot by 13/4 inch, food grade, polytetrafluoroethylene* rod. It fits comfortably in the dishwasher with no room to spare. And no gecko will ever stick to it.** The only problem, it weighs 2.25 kg/5 pounds. By comparison my stainless steel rolling pin weighs 2 kg/4.4 pounds. Knowing the density of PTFE, 2.2 g/cm3, I could have calculated the weight. But I figured: "How heavy could plastic be?" In any event, the new pin arrived too late to roll the second half of the dough batch before dinner. *in some circles known as Teflon. **disclaimers and restrictions apply.

Anna, which size is your Kinto donabe? (Assuming, of course, you don't have more than one.)

Sorry* for my attempt at humor. The 932 is indeed a manual appliance. I think you would find it laughs at five pounds of citrus. *not really.

That's what you get for ordering cauliflower.

I have noticed similar. Has not bothered me. There is always the Control Freak.

@Katie Meadow why electric? I juice at least one or two (two tonight) citrus fruits a day and what lives on my counter is a Hamilton Beach 932 Commercial Citrus Juicer. Hamilton Beach has been making these since the 1930's, still sells spare parts, plus I've never had to change the batteries. The 932 juicing cone is stainless steel and the opposing surface is heavy chrome plated zinc. The base is coated cast iron. The collecting funnel is plastic but that does not bother me.

Had Cream of Wheat yesterday. Was more than 1 cent for a great big dish.

It's late. I was not going to post a picture but I am a dinner whore. Dry aged NY strip, much of the gray green mold cut off. Thirty second green beans. Momofuku ranch not shown. Dessert, how could one forget dessert, King Arthur Flour Crystal Diamonds...

Thanks, @Toliver I went for In My Kitchen.

Thank you for the encouragement, Natasha. I had one and only one project for today. That was to get out of bed just after 3:00 and bake the cookies. I had the Silpats and the stamina to roll out and bake half the dough.

Once upon a time I registered for a KAF one day bread seminar. But at the last moment my transportation cancelled. So I am still a virgin.

The dough recipe calls for only 177 g of flour and I was afraid that was too little for the big bowl. Right now I'm trying to summon the energy to get up and roll out the cookies.
