Love a good Gruner. They're great to pair with stuff that's sometimes harder to pair - Thai curries, etc.

I made Frankie Gaw's "Milk Tea" Rice Crispy Treats from his book "First Generation", here's the website link: "Milk Tea" Rice Crispy Treats | Little Fat Boy The only difference is the website puts in miso. I might try that next time. As far as the recipe goes, he has you melt the butter and a majority of the marshmallows in a pot and then add it to a bowl with the rice crispies. In doing this I left behind more of the marshmallow mix than I would have liked. I think the next time I do this I'll use a larger pot and just add the cereal to the hot mix.

The Caesar Salad Dip and the Olive Tapenade Hummus were both pretty tasty. Would recommend.

So much for 'compromising elsewhere'.

Ah, the Anova way.

I, too, want the MeatBaller.

Agreed, could do some nifty baking, etc. with them.

Anniversary5

Ordered Tue night, got here Friday (12/13) via UPS. Was around $45 all-in. Hope the accessories go back in stock - I’d like the soup container.

Thirded. Love my Ultras. Have both an 8 and a 3qt.

A4 Box - Anniversary5 just now worked for me, bought a light grey. Chairman Wow, that's a discount. Edit: Now to wait for the accessories to come back in stock.

I didn't make the chart, but I'm guessing it's 3 minutes for long grain and 8(!) minutes for short grain. 3 min. sounds about right, I make a lot of Jasmine (4 min @ high pressure + 10 min natural release). I haven't done any short grain in the IP. Anyone else have pressure cooker short grain rice experience? Edit: Do not skip the rinsing step, it's important. The water doesn't have to be crystal clear, just reasonably clear.

This method works for me, too. I was using this chart I found on the socials:

Their older style lacked the 'grip' on top, which made taking them out of the jar a bit tricky. This new design is a big improvement.

This has been my experience with them as well. They're a good product if you're looking to get into fermentation at home.
