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.

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.

It might have originally been for boots.

Oh, I believe I have some neatsfoot oil somewhere! Can I use that?

Does it connect to the internet as well?

I remember in some thread here that IP was releasing a model that would do 15 PSI. Am I crazy?

Indeed, for short pasta shapes the skimmer is my tool of choice. Short pasta shapes are not my problem. I have of course read Kenji but having done the experiment and tried abundant water and reduced water, I am firmly persuaded a large volume of water is better both for my pasta and for most vegetables. Other people's mileage may vary. @Lisa Shock I did not know those tools existed. But I'm not sure they would be an improvement over my current strainer method. One still has to pour the pot. I do have a colander (albeit not a great one) but I worry about the sanitation of my sink.

My bottle of boiled linseed oil arrived. It says it is linseed oil treated with hot air to make it cure faster. Does not say anything about additives, but then food is not the intended use. The label says not to drink it.

The Fissler is 20 cm in diameter and 20 cm high. Why would that not be the best geometry?
