  1. Unsure of exactly what you're looking for, but I googled "Molcajete serving plate" and choosing images gave me a number of results p

    Food recalls

    OOPS! New Hampshire lab error incorrectly resulted in salad greens recall 2 hours ago CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — A laboratory error incorrectly caused a recall announcement for a brand of salad greens, the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services said. The products from lēf Farms are safe and the recall has been canceled, the department said in a news release Thursday. p
  3. I believe you and I have the same machine (Vacmaster VP112) - mine has also worked flawlessly until now - it has suffered a catastrophic mental illness (it's brain-dead) the control board emits a high-pitched sound - it still works but that noise can't be good! - the VP112 has been discontinued and parts are unavailable - factory technician suggested I try EBay I ordered and received today a Vevor DZ-260c chamber vac - oil pump, 12 inch sealing bar - $535CDN vs $1249CDN for the cheapest Vacmaster (VP215) No brainer as far as price and obviously I don't expect Vacmaster quality - Chinese import and Youtube reviews point out its idiosyncrasies (weaknesses?) - but if it performs as illustrated in reviews I'll be happy Seems a better deal than the Foodsaver choice imho p
  4. Yes, there are number of exemptions, such as for emergency backup power and for commercial food establishments, laboratories and car washes. But as I read it "New York state is banning natural gas stoves and furnaces in most new buildings" Pretty damn close to "exactly" p
  5. Hey NewYorkers - Any new buildings in the state are banning the use of gas: https://apnews.com/article/environment-gas-ban-stoves-612319f94b42b035921bf30aad141780 p
  6. Thanks, I tried that but to no avail p
  7. Started off well then my nose got smooshed against a paywall 😒😒😒 p
  8. @Jon S The app is nice but unnecessary - my APO works perfectly using the controls on the bar - I got it based on its hardware capabilities not its software p
  9. I broke down and ordered a bottle @ Amazon.CA - I tried it on some left over beef Rice a roni - found it predominantly salty, but other notes as well btw I did the Rice a roni from scratch in my Zoh rice cooker and did not brown the vermicelli first - used white rice, harder setting- anyone tried this? any suggestions? p
  10. Ran across this in my virtual travels: https://www.seriouseats.com/japanese-cooking-pantry-staples Might be of use p
  11. Where are you located? At least State/Province - it makes everything simpler p

    Cleavers

    Chicken bones tend to splinter as they are hollow - I was told never to give a dog chicken bones because of that p
  13. That's not an island, that's a trolley! p
  14. Some "opinions": Salamander - I don't know prices of gas but I had a reasonably priced electric Combi Oven --->APO probably 10 times cheaper and worth the price Pot filler - relatively cheap and worth it Just my thoughts p
  15. This has to be in everyone's kitchen p
  16. My newest Wishlist addition: https://www.vollrathfoodservice.com/Serving-System-Campaigns/SerVue-Cold-Touchless-Refrigerated-Serving-System?gclid=Cj0KCQjwt_qgBhDFARIsABcDjOck0n9a8jis9XpCB1FwmAsjiYDMCsUHEg4iEpNMJ7ZJS0Q2KWgTn_UaAihnEALw_wcB I didn't see a price, but I feel that will be on my Wishlist for a very long time 😁 p
  17. I have it in a shaker on the counter and use it frequently p
  18. You realize of course that if you hadn't married your husband, you wouldn't find yourself in this predicament, but then the rest of us would have less to talk about 😁 p
  19. So I want to buy an air fryer...which one should I get? A Cosori? I hear good things about them. Not to belittle your painful experience with them Anna, but did no one at head office not foresee the harm they are doing to their brand I don't do social, but to those that do, get the word out on their policies and practices in this regard @Anna N I hope you have a happy resolution to this problem, you and others in this boat deserve better! p
  20. Duck vs dock - tiny feet and good balance 😀 I didn't know there was an upgrade - if I was starting over again, I would go for the new version (depending on $CDN price), but as I already have one I would stick with the original - larger size containers, more functions and a more substantial build seem to be worth the additional cost p
  21. Speaking of rabbit holes I stand corrected, it is not a Waring Pro waffle maker but rather a Waring Commercial waffle maker: https://www.hubert.ca/product/21383/Waring-Commercial-WW180X-Single-Belgian-Waffle-Maker---11L-x-17W-x-9-12H And again @btbyrd, you may have got a great deal on your All-Clad, but I think I did as well or better as I paid about $200 for mine about 15 years ago and while not used extensively, still works like new - added bonus the plates are replaceable (in another 15 years) p
  22. @btbyrd - great video, but I doubt if I will try that in my waffle maker ( it's one of the original Waring Pro models) p
  23. I have a Waring Pro ‘flip-over’ single Belgian waffle maker - works well p
  24. ATK highly recommends the APO: " Countertop steam ovens resemble toaster ovens but differ in a key way: They inject steam into the oven cavity during cooking. Steam speeds up the cooking process and is especially useful when baking, preparing large cuts of meat, or steaming vegetables or fish. We recommend the Anova Precision Oven as the best countertop steam oven as it offers customization and precision for enthusiasts who want to dial in the perfect settings for a recipe." "This steam oven is the best current option for an ambitious cook or baker, but there is room for improvement. You can calibrate the humidity level (amount of steam injected) in 5 percent increments, which is more customization than any of the other ovens in our lineup. A sous vide mode “seals” the food with humid air instead of submerging it in water, making sous vide cooking an easier endeavor because you don’t have to use plastic bags. Additionally, you can sear things off in the oven, saving the extra dishes usually created by the stovetop sear that many sous vide dishes require at the end to add color and texture. We also like that it has a built-in probe thermometer, which helps us track and monitor the internal temperature of the food. Its sleek control panel is easy to navigate once you get the hang of it. We got good food results, including some of the most gorgeous golden-brown toast we've ever seen. We proofed and baked a loaf of fluffy shokupan that stood tall thanks to steam and made Basque cheesecake with a deep caramel-colored top and soft, melty interior. We were also pleased with an exceptionally tender, juicy steamed whole white fish. Unfortunately, one of its biggest features—its app—fell far short. In theory, users can activate the oven from their phones and use its guided cooking without ever touching the control panel. However, we were never able to successfully connect to the oven via Bluetooth and had to set it manually to follow its recipes. We hope future versions of the app are more reliable so that the oven truly delivers on the streamlined experience it promises." The full review and comparisons to to others is behind a paywall. p
  25. Baking/pizza steels are usually used in the oven (indirect heat) whereas a griddle is subjected to direct heat (gas, electric or induction) which induces the possibility of warpage p
