I drink so much from leaded crystal I fear it is a bit late for me. Personally I've never tasted Everclear but it has a reputation of being a bit rough. I was hoping some enabler would talk me into the $40 bottle. But I do intend to leave my beans whole for this experiment.

Thermoworks sale is still on! Another 30 hours or so and I can order.

But it's such a pretty brandy bottle! Seriously, would the very narrow neck be a problem?

Over four years ago I purchased a half pound of Mexican high grade beans for this experiment. Vodka too. But I didn't have a container to put them in. I've been putting off thinking about the project. Anyhow, from (re)reading this whole thread, it seems what one wants is an air tight vessel of light resistant glass. Checking amazon, people are asking $40 for one apothecary jar! (Not that I haven't spent outrageous sums on kitchen toys.) I was thinking of using an old brandy bottle but the neck is narrow and the glass is clear. Another alternative is glass jar with a silicone seal. But again the glass is clear and I'm uncertain if given enough time the alcohol would react with the silicone. Suggestions?

You can't afford it?

Tonight... Red Cooked Pork From Phoenix Claws and Jade Trees.

I enjoy asparagus simply blanched. Preferably with Hollandaise. A long deceased Czech friend once proclaimed asparagus could be eaten with the fingers even in the presence of the emperor.

Who is holding your chopsticks?

Late to the party but I agree, your unit seems defective. Or possibly you are using it wrong in some way. Not ever had any problem with my anova.

Thermoworks is having a sale...

The 20th would be nice. I'd order a number of things. Right after I posted my musings above I called Thermoworks to ask when the sale would end. They said it was an indeterminate end date. The sale would most likely last three or four days.

Wonder if the sale will last till the 16th? (I seem to be broke at the moment.)

Thanks. No cookbooks that I see.

Can anyone explain to me how amazon first reads works? Maybe it's the ethanol but I can't figure this one out. They say one free Kindle book each month.

The Cook's Atelier Not sure it is worth buying for cold hard cash but a beautiful book and a good read.

Which are which?

What's in the glass?

Sorry...attempt at humor went through to the keeper.

No, not translated. Anyone read Japanese?

The asparagus pot is too small for the back burner on my stove. The Fissler is not at all too big but it is heavy. I don't think I ever said too heavy.

Sorry, I can't figure out for what?

Typically I cook 3 or 4 ounces of pasta at a time. For the chicken Tetrazzini that prompted this thread I was boiling half a pound.

Sounds like an awful lot of beer.
