Another player enters the sous vide field: Paragon Induction Cooktop
Vapre replied to a topic in Kitchen Consumer
That is a bit of a bummer for frying purposes. I do enjoy the feedback aspect of it though as opposed to a standard induction burner. Yeah it's kind of a ghost town over at FirstBuild for the Paragon. I think the Six Pack was an option to order 6 of them. -

Vapre replied to a topic in Kitchen Consumer
Not home at the moment but I recall both the probe and mat topping off at 375F. But if you don't use them you can go higher. A couple winters ago I had it running for hours boiling down maple sap for syrup in the carport. -
Hope you like it! I'm a fan. Also, hope things look up.

It's at $99.

His description of this book is definitely worth a listen. It was on my to-do to seek it out. Thanks for saving me the trouble!

So FirstBuild wound up not shipping to you? That's a bummer. R C Willey might ship, and the price will be nicer if it goes back on sale.

Keep an eye here: https://www.rcwilley.com/Appliances/Small-Kitchen-Appliances/Other/111161703/FirstBuild-Paragon-Induction-Cooktop-View It's an induction hub with a Bluetooth probe/mat for semi-precision temperature feedback. I got a second backup unit from them in May when it was $99. Worth it. Not currently worth $350. Hopefully it will drop again.

What price range are you looking for?
-
Yeah it's a mystery why they took such a drastic step backwards w/Nova vs. Precision Cooker in terms of useability.
-
You're talking about the Nano here, right?
-
Just got a copy yesterday. Beautiful photos, good information. There's a couple things in here I can't wait to try out. Good job, Rob!

The Paragon is barely on the FirstBuild site anymore. That is a shame, I really like mine.
-
You think they're clearing out the plastic ones to make way for the metal ones (KSMMGA)?

Crazy and Inaccurate Claims Roll On in the Cookware and Food Industry...

This is what happens, Larry, when you [find a stranger in the alps]. -
I have the exact same one. Got it off eBay for less than $3. Love it. Edit: Here's the original: https://www.suckukstore.com/collections/kitchen/products/key-bottle-opener

I'm currently using mine to keep a batch of chicken stock warm to sip on while I'm fighting my annual sinus infection.

Absolutely this. Gentle. If you need a 'detox' from troubles, this is definitely a good antidote.
-
Nice! I am hoping they release the max as a 3Q, I already have an 8Q Ultra.

Starting a high profile new restaurant (after closing another)
Vapre replied to a topic in Restaurant Life
Nice. How about Staghorn Sumac, y'all use that? It's pretty great and nearly identical to what you can get in a middle eastern market. -

Do you use the whole berry or just the flesh around the seed? How/what do you do with it? -
I'm pretty happy with my FirstBuild Paragon.

So Edward Lee is coming to The Shack on 1/30 and 1/31 but they are already full up on reservations. Bummer!

Outside the Brown Bag - Taking my Kitchen Toys to Work
Vapre replied to a topic in Food Traditions & Culture
Too funny, I laughed when I saw that pic. We have them in the lab, too. Edit: Sharps containers, not Nanos. -
What's a good everyday sipping bargain bottle these days?

I get it, I thought about the Joule. I love the different heating element technology they use but the phone-only connectivity was the dealbreaker for me. If they ever release one with physical controls, that’ll be a different story.
