  1. I have a 10" one of these - fits the pan nicely.... https://www.amazon.com/Bellemain-Grill-Heavy-duty-Handle-8-75-Inch/dp/B077PJDPP3 now, if you're making square burgers . . .

    White Sauce Question

    how to make a white sauce is a topic similar to how to peel hard boiled eggs. one should expect multiple opinions.

    White Sauce Question

    veddy confuzed here..... for a white sauce, I melt the butter, add equal by volume AP flour, stir - cook until slightly brown.... add cold milk and whisk in. second dose of cold milk, whisk in... no lumps, no problems....

    Frying frozen crabs

    I use a spatter shield for things I expect to be popping & hopping. ps: don't buy the cheap ones, they rust.
  5. not necessarily. but the celebrity price far exceeds that of similar quality in the open market.

    Dinner 2021

    baked cod over barley / carrot-raisin salad / red thingies. the look better than they taste - very early hot house tomatoes....

    Dinner 2021

    I have an age-old recipe that uses 20 ounces of pineapple (drained) + cubed dried-out bread, butter, eggs . . . etc etc - specifies 1 cup of sugar (200g) - I use 1/3 (30g) and we like it much better same for a pineapple stuffing we use - sugar cut in half with note: still too sweet
  8. lobster had an interesting history in the food scene.
  9. ... making Flammenkuchen tonight if it's an unleavened dough, the time is much less critical. unleavened is a hallmark of Flammkuchen - - - - personally I don't do in in advance - unleavened, mix, give it a hour - covered, room temp - to hydrate, commence the build.... done with yeast, if it starts rising you wind up squishing all the bubbles out when shaping.... so warm-up time would be more critical.
  10. bag them up in one pound bags and keep in the freezer.
  11. since it does not cool anything, basically according to thou-wilt-die safety twits, one is limited to "loading up" the device to maximum two hours prior to cooking. if one is able to control / act / modify one's behavior prior to two hours+cook time before eating, might work. seems similar to the gadget that read the item's bar code to know how to cook it. 20,000+ bar codes in the US grocery store, bar codes recognized: 3,000. didn't fly very high or far . . . .
  12. I give them a 10 minute boil, cool, cut in half, sear the open face.
  13. @gfweb mucho merci for finding that - the OP attracted my taste buds immediately and it's nice to see how it's 'done'
  14. letter opener
  15. not so lotta' fat in cured salmon.
  16. I've found one thing Nova won't do . . . come apart. did eggs Benedict for breakfast today - slab of Nova on the muffin. it comes in a vacuum pack - and getting the slices apart is some kind of trick! anyone got a trick for that? colder / warmer . . . . this AM I simply gave up and used a biscuit cutter for the diameter of the muffin....

    Dinner 2021

    tonight was beer battered/Tempura butterflied shrimp . . . the batter is slightly involved - one cup flour + salt + pinch red pepper + Old Bay into one cup of beer, whisk two egg yolks - reserve whites split the shrimp and pat dry when ready to start the deep fry (375'F).... whip the two egg whites to stiff peak add beer liquid to dry ingredients fold in whipped egg whites. for this excursion I used 1/2 cup AP + 1/2 cup rice flour - I like it! the batter is on the thin side: results:

    Dinner 2021

    doable, but requires some checking. if the stuff on the second rack absorbs so much heat that the elements can't keep up..... soggy, not crisp....

    Beetroot

    the boil route has the advantage of doing the pickle along with the cook.

    Beetroot

    I do "beets" - a bunch. whenever I find a decent batch of beets with tops.... remove top wash trim top&bottom of beet boil in (by volume) 50% apple cider vinegar and 50% water 1/2 cup white granulated sugar. when fork tender, allow to cool, hand strip the skin. reserve the liquid. yes, you're gonna get purple. it washes&wears off. refrigerate, slice. beats the pants&undies off caned/jarred versions.
  21. this one is fairly simple and definitely yummy http://www.cookingforengineers.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4473 written for blueberries, but mulberries is an easy sub.
  22. all true. but for 0.2 degrees and 23 hours + six minutes, that can only apply to cooking elephants with Sterno cans.
  23. might want to consider just perhaps maybe could happen . . . the oven is already on for other purposes and doing the rice is a side cook.
