Steve Yun posted:The Oggi bowls I see at the store seem sturdy. I've seen a shitload of stainless sauce bowls and that kind of thing---hold like a Tbsp or two of something---and a lot of bigger stainless bowls that'll crumple if you sneeze on 'em, but I haven't found any that are hefty and around, like, the size of a cereal bowl or a little smaller.

I bought six 6oz stainless steel bowls at my local pan-Asian grocery store that were like 50 cents a piece and reasonably thick walled with rolled edges. There's no branding of any sort on them, but maybe see if there's any places like that with a cookware/houseware section near you? Honestly I wish I had a few mor of them, but the ones I saw there recently were thinner steel.

SubG posted:You can find little stainless sauce/condiment bowls in like 2, 4, and 6 oz sizes in pretty much any restaurant supply store. They're great for ketchup with your fries or whatever, but I really want something that's, I dunno, more like 12 or 16 oz. I mean I can just use a salad bowl or whatever, but I'd like something in stainless so I don't have to worry about banging them up. And for whatever reason there seems to be a dead zone between around 6 oz and around a quart and a half in terms of stainless bowls. And of course I could just use bigger bowls, but it doesn't take many mixing bowls in your mise to run you out of counter space. Oh, that's bigger than I thought you were looking for initially. Vollrath makes 16 oz heavy stainless mixing bowls, we just got like four of those before Thanksgiving. They might have a smaller size too, although that may be an order-only sort of thing. edit: if you're not married to the idea of round bowls, you could also get a bunch of shallow 6th or 9th pans? Ninths come in ~16-19 oz. capacity that take up a smaller footprint (~4"x6") than a round would, sixths are a little bigger obviously (~6"x6") Hauki fucked around with this message at 00:51 on Jan 3, 2017 |

My dog's stainless food and water bowls sound like exactly what you're looking for. Probably more expensive than restaurant supply, though.

Crosspost from the Bread Thread. So I just bought an OXO rolling pin at Bed Bath & Beyond, and before I use it I'm wondering if there's any reason why I should return it and buy a different one instead. It's made of... well it's not made of wood (some sort of plastic I guess), and it's pretty heavy and has self-balancing handles and cost like $30. I bought it over the wood ones because I figured I could stick it in the dishwasher.

The texture on wood ones hold onto flour well, so you can dust them and roll dough without sticking. Other materials don't hold flour well.

I too have a silicone pastry mat and dough sticks to it enough to be annoying. Use flour. I haven't used a nonstick rolling pin myself, but I bought a wood one because enough people said dough would stick to their nonsticks

Also, rolling pins take 3 seconds to clean. I wouldn't ever even bother putting mine in the dishwasher.

The li'l lady and I got a kitchenaide mixer for Christmas which is dope, but I went to check out the pasta roller attachments with two cutters and it's like $110. The roller alone is sixty or seventy. Should we just nut up and buy the three-piece set? God bles.

It has served me faithfully for at least four years with regular use. The mini-processor attachment is also very handy, and the measuring cup that's just large enough to fit the head of the blender is perfect for making salad dressing and homemade mayonnaise.

I love that thing and have seriously considered ditching my generic blender because the stick blender does 95% of what I need a blender to do and my food processor would be able to handle the other 5%.

My measuring cup cracked, which led me to discover that empty glass peanut butter jars (smuckers natural, at least) are a perfect fit. Plus, with the glass jars, there's no extra cleanup - after emulsion, just screw on the lid and pop in the fridge

It is great for processing sun-dried tomatoes for a pizza or pasta sauce, or chopping up some onion/celery/pickle for a chicken or tuna salad, etc. Not great for huge amounts of stuff but for small things, it's much easier and convenient than having to pull out the full-size food processor.

Cutting board question: is it normal to expect a wood cutting board to warp over time, and how much? I bought one a while ago and when I got it home I noticed it was slightly warped (one corner doesn't touch the counter, so it wobbles like a fast food restaurant table). It didn't seem that bad though, so I decided not to return it, but now with use and washing, it seems like it's getting worse. Any chance of flattening it out, or should I see if it came with a warranty or something?

That tends to happen with wooden cutting boards, especially edge-grain ones, usually if they have been exposed to moisture and/or heat for extended periods. And no, it should not happen but since it is an issue frequently caused by improper care I doubt it would be covered under warranty.

Have you guys ever noticed that mobile recipe websites are the worst? loving ads and popups everwhere resisting your quest to read a goddamn recipe? I recently started using pi hole to block ads on every device on my home network. The jist of it is that it serves as a DNS server for your network, and any requests for addresses that are in public adblock databases never make it out of your network. Thus it works on phones and tablets as long as they're using your wifi. It's nice everywhere but it really pays dividends on the mobile versions of recipe websites, which i assume you guys agree are the worst. All of a sudden recipe sites just load fast without all the bullshit and I can read the recipe right away! Wow! It's fairly easy to set up as nerd poo poo like this goes, which is to say you'd probably have to install raspbian on a raspberry pi, then log in to it, give it a static ip, run one command to install pi-hole, and then log into your router and change one thing. e: also note that you can not do this with a raspberry pie

I bought these all clad 9in/11in French skillets a few months ago when they were $80. I'm looking to get a lid for one/both, and wondering if anyone had suggestions. My understanding is that they differ slightly from normal skillets. Would a regular 9/11 in skillet lid fit? Amazon has glass lids for ~15 (compared to ~50+ for an all clad lid) but I'm not sure if they will be work with the skillets. An oven safe lid is not something I think I need right now, but open to suggestions Hoping to avoid having to take the skillets somewhere to test fit lids.

Anyone know if they're worth the $200 price tag? $200 for an entire set of tri-ply stuff is a bargain no matter how you look at it, so if you really do need to replace ALL of your pots and pans, I'd pull the trigger. If you only have one or two pieces you need to replace, I'd hold my horses.

Unless they're very expensive, the copper in most cookware sets will be very thin and mostly there for cosmetic reasons. As far as anyone can tell (we have a few users who have the All-Clad copper sets) copper doesn't have any noticeable advantage over aluminum clad cookware sets.

IMHO just keep an eye out for D5 pieces as they randomly go on sale. They're better and it's much smarter than buying an entire set where they throw in a couple pieces you may not really use much.

The cuisinart he bought is solid, it's easy to use all pieces. I agree with most sets
