Wikipedia suggest the following treatment of a "new" molcajete: A new basalt molcajete needs to be "broken in" because small grains of basalt can be loosened from the surface when it is first used and this will give an unpleasant gritty texture to the first few items prepared in it. A simple way to do the initial "seasoning" is to grind uncooked white rice in the molcajete, a handful at a time. When the white rice flour has no visible grains of basalt in it, the molcajete is ready to use. Some rice flour may remain ground into the surface of the molcajete, but this causes no problems. Don't know if that's of any help with yours.

Vacmaster would be a good add to your testing p

Looking forward to your updated article covering chamber vacuum sealers p

I find using the top element is akin to broiling, depending on rack position and temperature. p

Mine didn't and I tried the "Shelby" treatment 😒 p

Exactly!!! p

Place one of those racks in a groove and another in the groove below with your sheet pan on it - there's your perforated pan - those racks have a about a 1/4 inch crosshatch so are especially good for dehydrating - blueberries won't fall through p

Too honest and ethical - I wouldn't have been 😈 p

I got a sturdier pan from Anova after complaining p

Buy a toaster p

Everything Tdev and Jo said as well - great customer service (from my point of view) I have a BSOA that I just use for warming plates lol p

Go induction with an electric or gas oven - you won't look back p

Thanks Marlene https://forums.egullet.org/forum/373-recipegullet/ p

Don't shoot the messenger please, btw my kitchen hygiene is almost non-existent, but I'm still here, last time I checked p

Two bags - small one for clothes and a humungus one for food 😁 p

Dear SLB, that is horrible!!! I would investigate if there was some way of jury-rigging a fix or even exploring if a competitor's assembly could be used or made to work. That's like getting a flat tire and having to throw away the car because they don't make that tire any more. p

Air frying is basically fast moving hot air in usually a small space - convection oven isn't necessarily as fast and the space is relatively larger p

Not a recall per se, but a heads up https://www.cbc.ca/radio/whitecoat/artificial-sweeteners-safety-questioned-1.6633357 p

A review and comparison of the Ankarsrum and KitchenAid Pro 600 https://www.everythingkitchens.com/ankarsrum-assistent-mixer-vs-kitchenaid-professional-600-stand-mixer.html I'll still stick with my KitchenAid, though the Ankarsrum's 7 year warranty and Amazon's 4 year add-on warranty for $126 CDN is attractive p

It's available at Amazon.ca for $1685.94 and a deluxe accessory pack is $1684.75 - both prices are in CDN$ I think I'll hang on to my KitchenAid a little longer - though I do like the available blue colour. p

Just toss the above pictured product as is (on the pan) in the freezer for an hour or so - works for berries and such - avoids a frozen clump of berries p

And a backup as well! p

Two bread machines and no flour p
