  1. I have my spare in the living room just in case.

    Dinner 2019

    Last of the bluefish: Not as exciting as fugu.
  3. I started flesh side down. I am amazed how non stick the Philips seems to be: My only complaint is the fish was a little overdone, Easy enough to fix in the future.
  4. We know Jesus was born in the winter because otherwise chocolate melts.
  5. I work in a library. Not sure I can forgive you... https://forums.egullet.org/topic/157787-dinner-2019/?do=findComment&comment=2192921 Right now I'm finishing up the last of my white mai tai and a generous peanut course. Then I'm off to grill the last bit of bluefish before it begins turning on its own. I plan to start skin down (towards the heat) and flip after about five minutes. I'm worried that if I start flesh side down the fillet might stick to the rack. I plan to plate skin side down. To do otherwise seems just wrong. Or I might start flesh side down and see what happens. I can't decide but I am running out of peanuts.
  6. I live in an apartment with no pantry. In this complex the next larger apartments have a dedicated pantry as a separate room. But at least I have a good sized bedroom. If I were buying a house I'd look for a kitchen with a Pacojet. Not that I can complain, my kitchen has a nice view of the mountain. Not sure I'd trade that even for a Pacojet.
  7. The nuts.com sale ended early this morning and I had to order before I saw these replies. I went with roasted. Thanks.

    Thank you. Two servings of broccolini, all of the steak as shown here: Alas, there was but one potato.
  9. Thanks, everyone. I particularly had in mind bluefish but I wanted to know about grilling fish fillets in general. I should think less oily types of fish would be more difficult to turn. I have another piece of the bluefish that I showed grilled skin side down in the dinner thread the other night:
  10. I'm late with my baking this week. Forgive me.
  11. I think I have come to the right place. I am not very experienced grilling fish fillets. I can find remarkably little information in my hundreds of books, in the library, or on the web. My question: if started with the skin side toward the grill, should the fillet be turned to finish cooking with the skin side up?
  12. I'm revisiting MC pistachio gelato. It's been a long time. I just reread the recipe in MC@H and it is not clear (to me) whether roasted or unroasted pistachios are intended. Thoughts?

    One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish: Coleslaw. Very good, not much to say. Roast potatoes. Thank you Kenji, thank you Cuisinart, thank you DARTO. Bluefish grilled on the Philips grill. Perfect. As a constitutional, Whistlepig single barrel, barrel strength. Not shown.
  14. I tried. Prime Now had a sale. By the time I got home from work the sale salmon was gone. Besides, I like bluefish better: Some of the best fish I have had. No stick, no smoke, no mess. Normally I would pass on fish skin. I ate this all. It was really very good. I used to grill fish on my Farberware, which like the Philips doesn't smoke. But with the Farberware the skin sticks to the rack and makes a mess. The Philips Avance has earned its keep.

    I suspect it is a reference to the potlucks from a certain novel by Daniel Defoe.
  16. I bought chuck filet I had intended to prepare sous vide. But I thought, why not? I have a new toy: This was salted four hours in the refrigerator, grilled 10 minutes on the Philips, pulled at 54-55C, rested five minutes. In the sous vide thread it was suggested I cook this inexpensive cut for a long amount of time. On the contrary it is a bit fatty but remarkably tender steak and even my old teeth can chew it. And did. As usual with the Philips, no smoke, no mess. Plus I learned something about my kitchen. Apparently the electrical outlets on either side of the stove are on separate circuits! I could bake my potato in the CSO at the same time as I grilled the steak.

    Chuck filet, a new experience for me. No leftovers.
  18. With all respect, in this case you would be better off reading eGullet: https://forums.egullet.org/topic/146617-cuisinart-combo-steamconvection-oven-part-1/ (But don't neglect the mention in Modernist Bread.)
  19. @Tri2Cook thanks for your kind words. I hope your confidence in my skills is not misplaced. I can't promise but I hope to try a batch of nibs before the weather warms.
  20. Yes, and sometimes the provolone is Shoprite and sometimes Black Bear.
  21. Now that I'm thinking of it someone who possibly could manufacture a small spinner product is Bhavani...
