I have a crock pot, a real crock pot. In my experience and from what I've read crock pot temperatures are higher than optimal, probably to protect companies from being sued for wrongful death. At one point I had the idea to buy a stepdown transformer but that would be about $100, and would work only on old crock pots like mine, not the new fancy electronic ones. Besides, I can put a pot on my Paragon induction unit and simmer at a controlled temperature as low as I would ever want.

The heating element is about 8 inches by 4 1/2 inches. The pan is about 12 inches by 8 1/4 inches. I came here to posit the glad tidings, but I see the enablers are out early today. Mine is coming in Moon Blue. I hope to be seeing my granddaughter in a couple weeks, and I might convince her to take one home. If not I will have a spare. @rotuts the A4Box is wonderful for meatballs.

I was speaking of unlined solid copper.

I'm guessing solid copper should be safe.

A pictorial guide to Chinese cooking ingredients

So little kids could wear lipstick. Though the red pistachios I remember were a deeper shade of red. Possibly some long gone cariogenic dye. -
Tonight's pan bread, Forkish method.

Thanks! I am in New Jersey. What is the last date to order?

The truth about commercial food photography
JoNorvelleWalker replied to a topic in Food Media & Arts
According to Modernist Cuisine they use real food for all their food photography. -
What was the cost, including shipping?
-
Quite possibly the new machines are more versatile.

I have an old Zojirushi bread machine. I never baked in it, but I used the machine for mixing dough. I had a real problem maintaining dough temperature. For years, literally, I believed this was due to heat of friction. It turns out the wretched machine was powering the heating coil while the dough was mixing -- with no way to turn off the heat! For this reason, as much as I like Zojirushi rice makers, I would never recommend their bread machines.

Others beat me to it, but yes, a real sale. Usually a couple times a year. Unless something changed, Falk sells only from distributers and there are no dealers. In addition, for each product line, a small 18cm saucier is almost always offered at a somewhat reduced price. Think of it as crack -- or perhaps in this case pot. I would dearly love the Fusion Try Me! 18CM saucier for Bearnaise. But I've not assayed Bearnaise since I got sick, and I already have the 18cm saucier from the Classic line. Not to mention I've not cooked on the stovetop since last spring.

Falk does have sales from time to time. I'd be tempted but I am broke and I have at least seven pieces that I can see.

Is a wok close enough to a frying pan? If so I can recommend WANGYUANJI: (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) I've used mine three times and so far it hasn't needed cleaning. The pan is very light.

In my kitchen I've had three. The first did not last long. (Falling off the wall may have had to do with it.) The other two have been working reliably for about a year so far.

I have a couple of automatic hand soap dispensers that work well, but can you actually use Dawn in yours? Dawn is so viscous that it would not work in my dispensers.

Absurdly, stupidly basic pastry & baking questions
JoNorvelleWalker replied to a topic in Pastry & Baking
Thanks for the suggestions. Not to leave the outcome hanging, I killed off the batter making pancakes. Soothed my pancake itch for some while I fear. One of the Amazon products I'm evaluating is a Caraway square griddle pan. No need to wash after making pancakes. I just wipe it with a paper towel. (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) Caraway is the most nonstick griddle I have ever used. -

Not yet, but I did have more pancakes. -
Help! I've lost my cooking mojo and I want it back!

I have been off eating and cookery for a couple years, but I still buy cookbooks. -
Absurdly, stupidly basic pastry & baking questions
JoNorvelleWalker replied to a topic in Pastry & Baking
Help! Is there a way to repurpose yeast raised pancake batter? I made the following recipe: https://redstaryeast.com/recipes/yeast-pancakes/ The pancakes were good, but now I have a large bowl of batter attempting to break out of the blast chiller and strangle me in my sleep. Thoughts? -
Dare you say what project?

Capacity is about six nutmegs. The shavings are about as fine as one would expect nutmeg to be. For spice grinding I mostly use a mortar or for grinding in quantity I employ my Waring: https://forums.egullet.org/topic/150545-wet-spicecurry-paste-grinders/?do=findComment&comment=2082442 I seldom bring out my melanger but to grind something incredibly fine, a melanger is the way to go.

I have one. I use it for nutmeg. Works well. Minor problem is you can't lift it by the top.
