Not available here but there is always UPS.

One should not use a knife on acid.

I've been sometimes cheating and using baguette dough for my pizza. The Modernist Bread Neapolitan ingredients are not that different but the technique is not the same. Edit: lovely pizza by the way.

Last night I may have misspoken. About the apple butter book that is. Or I may really have seen an apple butter book. But today I spied the newsletter of Rockingham (Washington's residence when he lived in Rocky Hill). This fall there will be a demonstration of traditional apple butter making. You know, caldron over an outdoor hearth and all of that. Visitors are invited to help stir.

Cuisinart replaced my failed CSO. With a fancy coffee maker. I do not drink coffee.

...I wasn't the one asking though.

When he forgets why not have him bring back the shine with Barkeeper's Friend and SOS? In my experience once aluminum gets corroded there is nothing that can be done. Maybe I've never been aggressive enough.

Yesterday at work in the library I came upon a book whose cover featured making apple butter. Unfortunately my youth featured too much apple butter and so I did not note the details. For the benefit of @Anna N apple butter is a traditional accompaniment of scrapple.

It wasn't. As much as I wanted I couldn't summon the energy. Dinner was a can of Progresso soup. Good it was too.

Thanks for the idea. My dinner may be an omelet.

For years I used a perforated Chicago Metallic half sheet pan for pizza. It is permanently bowed like a bowl and I don't like pan pizza. And with the perforations the pizza drippings always landed at the bottom of the oven.

Are any here familiar with Exo Super Peels? I've been using one for a while quite happily but I always wished I had one sized for the CSO. Not a product one can buy. This little peel was a lagniappe from a larger order. The width is approximately 7.5 inches by 14 inches. Perfect, or close to it, for the CSO. When I reported how well it worked for my bread last night Gary at Exo wondered if it was something I thought other people might be interested in. For anyone not familiar with Exo peels they don't look like they'd work but they really, really do. Thoughts?

I still think B. cereus sounds more than a bit like be serious.

I have a solution! More information later. But really I will be using the big oven for pizza not the CSO. The CSO does not get hot enough. Bread however is a different story. I've never used non-stick foil. I wonder how heat stable whatever it is that makes it non stick.

Never heard of Envy. I envy you.

Oh, I thought the stores where you are carried a good selection of oriental stuff?

I'd also like to try Rave sometime. I agree with @Smithy that Honeycrisp is overrated. My favorite varieties are Pink Lady and Granny Smith. And Macoun if I can get it off the tree. Macoun is mealy and vile if it is a day too old.

Went through to the keeper, as @sartoric might say. I tried. Above 63C is what I saw in the abstract of one paper. I assume the Japanese have figured out what temperature to hold rice to prevent growth of B. cereus or they wouldn't have such a problem with excess old people.

Let's not be serious! I don't leave cooked rice standing at room temperature. Nor in the refrigerator. I leave leftover rice in the Zojirushi on the extended keep warm setting: https://platinumricecooker.com/index_page.php?lang=ENGLISH

Thermoworks has 15% off everything...last day.

I bought the book for that recipe and then I never made it. I sort of forgot about it actually. Any pointers or suggestions?

Stale news.

I made an error somewhile back when I ordered a large Zojirushi. I had not realized that the minimum quantity was one go (about 7/8 US cup). While I can sometimes eat a go of rice I would have been much better served by the smaller model NP-NVC10 that has a minimum quantity of 1/2 go. Usually when I make rice for dinner I leave the leftovers in the Zojirushi till the next night.

Other than tomatoes lunch at work had been salami and provolone sandwiches on six day bread. Wonderful bread but we all have our mortality. My teeth are not the greatest and I got a crumb of crust in my left eye. Dinner was soft food -- half a CSO Cornish hen, peas and mashed potato. No leftovers. I licked the spatula.

Library?
