I bought LUX60 instant pot.  Can't beat the price.  I never use 1/2 pressure and make yogurt in mason jars in sous vide bath.

 

Can you give me any more info or links on Sous Vide yogurt?

Apparently, Amazon, within the last half hour or so, has changed their policy and one is now allowed to buy up to 3 of the 7 in one Instant Pots.

 

 

I'm just sayin'.

So pissed. Bought the Duo Instant Pot about 10 days ago as a gift. Paid about $120.00.  I have two, I know how great they are. Today Amazon has it for $68...ARGHH.

 

I wonder if you emailed them if they would honor the new price?

Ruhlman's tools are 35% off through Saturday with coupon code "cheer."



I must say, this BlackFriday/CyberMonday has been a bit of a bust (at least for me). I haven't seen any good deals apart from the Anova and Instant Pot (and I already have 2 circulators and an IP). The grass is always greener? Last year, Ruhlman's discount was 40%, and the year before that was 50%. Bah humbug.

My daughter who lives with me ordered a Black-Friday-priced Multipot. It arrived today. Now I have to store away my larger crock pot (seldom used) to make room on the counter. I told her I would happily make space for it.

Humbug aside, I bought a couple sets of the Ruhlman acacia wooden paddles, the meat mallet, 8 of the offset soup soons, and the offset serving spoon. That's a buncho spoons n' paddles. And a mallet.

 

FYI, it can be cheaper to buy the paddles a la carte than buying the bundle of 3. The set of "one small + one medium" plus the single large "spanker" is cheaper than the bundle.

[...] choked on the $18 shipping.

 

Yeah, I was also tempted but the shipping seems unreasonable.

Yeah!

It really sucked this year.

All I bought was two mini dutch ovens.

 

:S

Got another IP on sale for $68!

And did you see the prices for the smaller 5 qt. version and the larger 8 qt. version? WTF? Very strange that the smaller version should cost so much more.

This year most of my sales budget* went for adult beverages.  That, and new underpants...just because.

The Argentine company Darto is offering free worldwide shipping on their excellent carbon steel pans. I have the No. 27 and the No. 23 and love them; I'll probably pick up a couple more thanks to the free shipping. Their DHL international service is FAST, by the way. I think I got mine four days after I placed the order. I love cooking with carbon steel, and I especially love the design of the Dartos; they're made from a single piece of metal,so there are no rivets or welds for gunk to get caught up in. Here's some hot, buttery basting porn featuring the No. 27:

 

 

I first found out about them from the folks at ChefSteps. They rock a Darto in this pan-sauce video:

My order arrived and it's spoon city up in my place. I got 8 of the offset soup spoons (and they slipped an extra one in by accident) along with the offset serving spoon. The serving spoon is HUGE. I think I'm going to like the soup soons as well. And I like the meat mallet quite a bit. (It should do the job nicely). The only thing I'm sad about now is that realized I should have ordered another set of the smaller offset spoons. I freaking love those, and having another small, medium, and large one on hand would be quite nice. But now that I'm all Ruhlman-ed up, I don't know that I'll be ordering any time soon. The shipping's too high if you're just ordering a set of the spoons. If you're ordering $100+ of stuff, it doesn't seem so unreasonable. I'd be nice if he shipped some of the smaller items via USPS Priority in flat rate boxes.

I am very intrigued for an omelette pan. Some reviews find them a little heavy, though - how do you find the No. 23? (I think that looks like the best size for me - I'm concerned the No. 27 would be too heavy since I have wrist issues.)
