You'll be able to be an annova from the apple store soon.

A picture I took this weekend at out picnic lunch, of an apple slice. Apple was cored with an apple corer (a pretty new one, so as sharp as it will ever get.). The slice was made with a sharp knife. Pretty clear difference after about four hours in zip lock bag.

Two points: 1) you can get a hose for any torch. attach one end to the cylinder, the other to the torch, and you get the same thing. 2) better torches have a regulator in them, which keeps them from drawing out liquid from the propane tank, which is what puts the torch out when inverted. I fail to see what the sansaire gives anyone over a flame spreader.

Some are whole eggs, some are just whites. If they say "no cholesterol" or "low fat", they have no yolks! Without yolks, they won't work for choux. If they're whole eggs, they're almost certainly pasturized, which may change how they cook. (I've only used them for scrambed eggs, omlets, and in baked stuff, where they behave normally, but choux might be different.)

Consider using a different flour for putting on the peel, as well. I use semolina for pizza, and have used rice flour. Both work very well, and are generally inoffensive tasting. The semolina doesn't burn as badly as corn meal, at least the stuff that stays on the stone. Stuff that makes it to the foor smokes. I can't remember how the rice flour smoked or not.

apparently, there enough people who use sweetened condensed milk everyday that trader joe's sells it in a plastic squeeze bottle. Haven't tried it, but I saw it in the fridge at work today.

My results are in the same ballpark as yours. I haven't timed (or measured the volume of water, for that matter, I use a large soup pot most of the time). You will get much faster temperature rise if you cover your water, as a substantial amount of heat is lost to evaporation. Ambient temperature also makes a difference in how much heat is lost, as does the amount of insulation in the container.

AN8 male fittings are 3/4 X 16tpi. Should be able to get one that will work in this application. Also, there filters that use metric threads, might be easier to deal with. Not all fiters are equipped with anti-drainback valve, so you might pick one of those. (They're not required in applications where the filter is pointed down, like yours, since it can't drain when the engine is off.)

In the summer, I drink a cocktail, unamed as far as I know, but related to the Presbyterian. It is 1 part rye 2 parts orange juice, preferably fresh squezed 4 parts ginger ale all over ice I also make a variation where the orange juice is replaced with the juice of a lime. Either variation can stand some fiddling with ratios, depending on your taste and the ginge ale. A stonger ginger beer could by watered down a bit without losing too much, i think.
