  1. @gfweb I looked on amazon and saw at least a couple other brands. How about if you take one for the team?

    Dinner 2019

    I am sad. Three Jersey Boy tomatoes were left. One had past to another state of being. These are some of the finest tomatoes I have eaten. I may never be able to grow tomatoes again. Accompanied by bread and assorted cheeses. Much wine.
  4. P.S. Food tastes better in Volcanique.
  5. I am blessed with a battery of Le Creuset but I envy you your 26. Last night I made a braise*. The 24 was just too small and the 28 was just too large. Please let us see your results! * https://forums.egullet.org/topic/157787-dinner-2019/?do=findComment&comment=2215518
  6. Is the squash uncooked?
  7. Remarkably round boule had run in with top elements of the CSO. CSO won.
  8. Sweetzels with Jif Natural; milk.
  9. Yes, but to my taste, milder. Edit: Checking the website, Sweetzels also makes ginger snaps. The difference is that their ginger snaps contain "ginger" while their spiced wafers contain "spices". Never having had the ginger snaps, I'd suspect the spiced wafers are also crisper.
  10. Peanut butter!
  11. I went with Taste of Portugal. Had a credit to use up. My cost was $0.00.
  12. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CF7CJ1M/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i5
  13. I noticed a collection of Diana Henry's recipes is available for free.

    Dinner 2019

    From the current issue of Cook's Illustrated... Chile verde con cerdo. Quite tasty. I could have used up some cabbage but I forgot.
  15. I suffered a sous vide disappointment. This was to have been my proud post in the dinner thread last night. But no. Let me backup...this boneless ribeye was a failed purchase from amazon. I ordered dry aged ribeye. I received a pretty pound of prime; they missed the dry aging part. Now I can't ingurgitate a pound of steak in a single sitting, no matter how much Béarnaise. I divided the meat into two bags and, consulting Baldwin's tables, anovaed three and a half hours at 55C. For something new I employed a mayonnaise sear. Not sure who to credit. I believe I first heard about the technique from the anova blog. Coated the dried surface with said mayonnaise; waited till the pan went above 500F; about a minute on each side. What is not to like? Crust was lovely. No gray. Nothing overdone. Meat was moist. But the fat wasn't rendered. A salient attribute of steak was missing. In truth it was a little flaccid. I think my steak requires a stiffer crust that smells like steak. Back to the Philips grill next time.
  16. Mine preheats and beeps when ready on convection bake, but no delay on steam bake.
  17. I still have two boxes left over from last year. They were on sale.
  18. When Corning made Pyrex it was borosilicate. In the US Pyrex is now usually ordinary tempered glass.
  19. I love vegetables. I just don't always like to eat them.
  20. I am sad for the 1,900 Whole Foods people affected but more surprised that they had healthcare in the first place. My job is part time and I have no work healthcare unless I am injured on the job. I've never heard of a US business giving part time workers healthcare. That's why there are part time jobs. Forgive me if my post sounds bitter.
  21. I wonder if those containers are Pyrex or real Pyrex? I recently purchased a German pan with glass lid labeled Pyrex. Hoping my lid is real Pyrex. Pyrex is something I've hesitated to use in the CSO. Perhaps I'm over cautious.
  22. I misremembered. @nathanm says to cook corn on the cob 30 minutes at 60C. https://forums.egullet.org/topic/144275-sous-vide-recipes-techniques-equipment-part-7/?do=findComment&comment=1757124 I set the Paragon for 165F... ...which sadly is not 60C. The corn was somewhat overdone. But other than the initial overshoot shown above the Paragon held the temperature. Worse, I had ordered white corn from amazon but what I received was bicolor. Seriously, the advantage of the Paragon is (as long as you set it to the correct temperature) you do not need bags. Corn on the cob is almost impossible to cook sous vide. The bags swell up and float.
  23. Is the red beverage what I fear it is?
  24. About a gallon of oil or a little less in a 7 1/4 inch high 6 quart pot. And don't add wet food.
