Submarine Sandpaper posted:there are low capacity .1g or high capacty 1g, which? Scales? Hmm... I don't know. Just home use. Not large quantities. Starting to do stuff where recipes end up more precise (like .73 grams, etc) for gummy candies, etc... and I just wanted something I could be more specific with than oh, that's about 3/4 of a teaspoon, or whatever...  I didn't actually know there was a difference there...

I've had one of these for the past year or two and it's been great: https://www.amazon.com/Smart-Weigh-SWS600-Pocket-Digital/dp/B00GS8LWIW They've got another model that goes down to an accuracy of .01g if you need it (you don't).

Good timing, my $6 eBay special straight from the factory in china is finally dying after like a decade of daily use for coffee. After so long, I have no idea how I even found it but I guess I need to replace it now.

BraveUlysses posted:that recipe looks so good but definitely falls in to the "too much loving effort, kenji Well, honestly, most of the effort goes to making the curry paste. And while there's probably some great commercial ones out there, the Thai Kitchen ones I can find are not. But once it's done, you can use it for the glaze, for the sauce, for the marinade, etc. So, you see, if I had gear that could actually make large batches of curry paste, I could just cook up a big can of it and then use it whenever I need.  Also, the fanning the flames thing isn't really necessary unless your grill actually runs hot enough to have "flareups". Neon Noodle posted:Kenji is ridiculous. I read the ingredients to get a rough idea of flavor balance, but half the fuckin bullshit he tells you to do is nonsense. Well, if you want bullshit, ChefSteps actually non-ironically suggests using liquid nitrogen in a recipe.

Are there such things as instant read scales? My current ones take a good 10 or so seconds to register changes. Ruined so much dough (because I'm lazy) because of it.

I sharpen my own knives with whetstones, etc. no big deal. I now have 2 Shun "utility" knives that have rounded "serrations"" on them. (Like they are convex and bumpy.) What do you call that style? I want to look up how to sharpen those...

Feenix posted:I'm sure they both do awesome (and I have an Anova gen 2 (?) ) but has anyone determined if one is better than the other in any meaningful way? The different Joule models? Or the Joule vs other brands? There is no difference in performance between the Joule models. All that changed is that they're using white polycarbonate for the 'cap' and bottom piece in instead of stainless steel. That's why the white model cheaper. As for Joule vs other brands, there is minimal difference in performance. The Joule's advantages are it's compact size for storage and ease of cleaning. It also a wifi-enabled model, so you can do the trick where you stick the food and circulator in a water bath filled with ice, then turn it on like two hours before you get home. So you have food ready right when you get home. Disadvantages are that it has no display and has no way to be controlled without a smartphone.

Yup, it was worth the trade off on slightly longer heat up times. I typically use a kettle to heat up the water faster anyways

By the way, I didn't want to/hope to start a product war... I mostly meant performance differences, to which it sounds like they are both similar and fantastic. [Not that it's gotten uncivil or anything, just wanted to make sure I wasn't trying to start folks on choosing sides.]

TheMadMilkman posted:Any recommendations for deep fryers? I have the R&V Works 4 gallon and absolutely love it. It uses standard fry baskets, can run on NG or LP, and has a tube type heating system. I can get several months out of my oil as long as I'm mindful not to overheat it and filter it every few frys. They make bigger and smaller ones depending on what you are looking for, but I haven't found a single other tube fryer in its price range or even one that would be practical for a residential setting.

Catching up on this thread forced, FORCED me to pull the trigger on finally buying a Zojirushi, my first rice cooker. ...and a bag of Tamaki Gold (thank you for the suggestions of rice) ...and I had to stop myself from getting one of the Anovas. I hope that model zoji ok, they have like, 2 or 3 of them that appeared nearly identical, that one seemed to fit the most of my needs at the best price.
