Low/Moderate priced oven, and the knobs keep breaking from being bumped. The socket that goes around the half moon shaped peg is *plastic*, even though the knob itself is metal. We've jb welded it together, but it's a janky fix. Also hard to clean, our next one will be straight steel I can brillo pad. Canning kettle and pressure canner reflect heat back, and any drips electroplate themselves to the enamel steel.

therattle posted:That's delightful! Mazel tov! I think it's down to essentially the features and whether they're something you want or would use. I would say if you're buying a new oven it would be kinda silly not to go induction and I suspect that pretty much all of them are convection now. Those are the two big hitters for me, but bakers would be very interested in steam oven tech also which I would guess increases the cost significantly and requires a water hook up (maybe?). I certainly would not spend more on an oven just for the sake of it.

I just bought a steam in-wall oven. There's a reservoir you pop out to refill, so no plumbing. So far I've used the steam function to clean the oven, and to roast veggies like corn and beets a couple times. Did a good job at both of those, helps get em tender without drying out, so no foil wrap needed. Wife is the baker and each loaf is big enough of a time investment that she hasn't tried steam bake, since her usual method of Dutch ovens in the oven - lid on 15 minutes then lid off - seems to work well enough that experimenting isn't worth it to her  I'd still buy it again if I had the choice and the same budget.

I splurged on a dual fuel oven when I redid my kitchen, and it was worth the cost. Electric is mostly nicer for an oven, and I prefer a gas cooktop. Only problem is I'm out in the sticks with no natural gas service, so I have propane. Seems like it shouldn't be an issue, because propane is more energy dense and the cooktops pretty much all come with a propane conversion kit (different jets and a regulator adjustment). Problem is, my big burner would put out 22k BTU with natural gas, but only does 16.5 with propane  . I'm guessing the burners themselves are designed with airflow optimized for natural gas or something.I don't know if that's an issue with all brands, or if I'll just have to shop more carefully next time. It seems like there would be a market for cooktops designed to run just as well on propane, even if it's a few hundred bucks for a separate propane burner kit or whatever. I guess whoever designs appliances assumes rural people are just a buncha country bumpkins who don't know how to cook

Induction is the answer, I used to prefer a gas hob, I’m now like an induction evangelist, they’re really good. Not quite as good as gas, but so close as to make no difference for most applications and about a million times easier to clean.

The idea now of burning fossil fuel in your home feels kinda nuts to me now.

Kenji says to use a hand blow torch while tossing in a wok so it might not be a lost cause. https://youtu.be/hcGRskPjQcU?si=R0w7-TVtu29H-bR9 Found this article where he specifically says you can use the torch method to make up for the wok hei lost due to induction: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/01/j-kenji-lopez-alt-induction-gas-stove-electric-coil/672897/

The wedding was amazing. I met a bunch of new friends, old friends, and everyone in between. Introduced everyone to the boyfriend, who was universally loved. The ceremony was beautiful, and we had to move everything indoors due to the rain. Apparently if you're making a gluten free cheesecake, and can't find the gluten free graham crackers, making a gluten free pretzel crust is a delicious option instead. Also, if you hand me a 5+ gallon soup pot, I will legit make enough soup to fill it almost to the brim, which is freaking weird, because we bought all the stuff, and it all fit perfectly. GOD DAMNIT. Wrought, I forgot to snip the goddamned chives on top of the loving soup. FAIL. Anyway. We all had an extremely lovely time, and it was great to see two goons in love get their union in front of the people they love best. Made a thread about the spices I took with me: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=4042660 Would be interested to hear your thoughts.

Another great GF cheesecake crust can be made with walnuts, butter, sugar. I have the recipe somewhere at home, but you parbake in the spring form after blitzing ingredients to a sand texture, it's like a giant walnut cookie. Calories best not contemplated.

Cheesecake is my son’s best cake (he loving loves cheese, and cake) and were in France in August in an area renowned for its walnuts and brought back a whole load with us. Do you have a recipe? (Intended, and still do intend to make walnuts in honey for people, but haven’t got round to it.) One of the local delicacies is a cake made with about 20% walnut flower, which was really really good.

I'll dig it out when I get home! A friend made it for me a decade+ ago, and printed the recipe on an old rear end printer, in like 24pt font. I have a stack of printed recipes I really need to bind in a photo album or something. I am not a clean cook, so it's semi translucent from butter. That friend passed from Covid, it always reminds me of him... crazy generous weirdo who I met through Eve who stalked my address from my username. I had said 'email me if you want the (Bigass Goonp) party address, but he Eve-mailed me instead. Since he didn't hear back he got to sleuthing, and showed up with *24* pounds of potato salad. Which considering we had about 50 goons went well. For another Goonp he brought 20lbs of marinated chicken. Became a regular for our weekly board games, and rolled in with cheesecakes, treats. I miss him

A massive part of the joy of Kewpie is making pencil thin drizzle lines The top where the mayo comes out should be the same size, and the tiny bottles actually have the same opening, under the cap. So save a cap from a small bottle to toss on a honker.

I will continue to scream “Make your own mayo!” (normal and kewpie) into the void forever. It takes 30 seconds with an immersion blender or food processor, and is so superior to store bought that it is astonishing.

Last I checked, and I am open to being corrected, salmonella only shows up in one out of every 50,000 eggs now. As long as your eggs are fresh, they should probably be fine

So is the 40-140-4 danger zone just "close enough mnemonic" that should really be 40-130-4? Or they added 10 degrees for a factor of safety?
