I can't wrap my head around what this oven does special... or if it's just like " this oven is really accurate unlike old oven technology!"

obi_ant posted:Please pardon my ignorance, I recently moved so I'm doing a bit of research to see what type of kitchen equipment I need. I'm looking at frying pans / skillets at the moment and I can't really tell if a cast iron skillet can be used to "replace" a regular stainless steel one. From that the research I've been doing, it would be advantageous for me to get a frying pan that can go from the stove top to the oven if needed. Which led me to look at cast iron. I know that cast iron requires more maintenance when compared to their stainless counterparts. So, for the frying pan and deeper skillet, would it make sense for me to go strictly cast iron? When I had cast iron I'd reach for the stainless every time because I can use acids liberally, the pan was much lighter, and the handles way more comfortable to hold. I'd not be quick to write off a regular pan.

Hot drat. Looks like the 10-piece is on sale too. Shame the 14-piece isn't though.

There's another seller though, so make sure you add to cart from Amazon. If you go to the deal from the Gold Box/Prime Day page it should show all 3 sets. If you're open to other clad cookware the Cuisinart Multiclad Pro set is on sale too. 20% off at checkout. https://smile.amazon.com/Cuisinart-MCP-12N-Multiclad-Stainless-12-Piece/dp/B009JXPS6U .

I've always seen Cuisinart as a cheap brand. Are they any good? Most of the small appliances that I've purchased by them are usually junk within a year or two. In terms of knives, should I stick with what the OP posted or... this or this

50 bucks ain't bad, and someone recommended a Tri-Ply SS pan from Tramontina. Are there any deals on 10+ inch that are less than that? I realize getting too much less expensive can result in lack of quality...

I'm in the same boat and as I was buying a new sous vide the deal died. But gravity told me on FB that I can send my broken anova in and possibly get a new one or it working at the very least so I took that saved hundred bucks and bought weed.

Is plastic or glass better for storing dry goods? I figure both are similarly priced (especially as I could get glass from second hand stores).

IME there's nothing wrong with the Cuisinart MultiClad stuff as far as performance. Scott808 posted:I have tri ply pieces from several different manufacturers - All Clad, Cuisinart, Calphalon, Kitchen Aid, Cooks Standard. I think cooking performance wise you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference. The difference is more in the shapes (like compare the skillet shape of All Clad to Cuisinart Multiclad Pro), the handles shape (a lot of people hate the All Clad shape, but it works for me), and how the handles are attached (weld or rivet). And for whatever reason, the All Clads seem to clean up easier than the others - even if it's stuff that I need to use Bar Keeper's Friend on, the All Clads seem to need noticeably less effort. I haven't a clue as to why. Looks like Amazon bumped up the price on the All Clad MC2 sets and bumped the discount up 10% to 50%.

The main differences are container weight, durability, quality of seal and design, so just get whatever looks the best quality of the options you have, if you don't have an aesthetic preference and don't have small kids running around (or some other reason glass is likely to get broken).

How do y'all organize your tupperware? My tupperware cabinet is a total poo poo show and I don't know how to keep it organized. I have a bunch of mismatched, non-stacking containers, and I'm wondering how to organize it in a way that makes it easy to stay neat, because I can pull everything out once a month to restack and poo poo, but I really don't want to.

I don't think it can be organized if it's all mismatched and doesn't stack. I would start fresh with a Rubbermaid Easy-Find set and call it a day. It also comes in glass if you prefer.

Just use commercial deli containters. They come in 8/16/32oz, the lids are interchangeable, and they stack, are dishwasher, microwave, and freezer safe, and way cheaper than that crap at the store.

obi_ant posted:I'm looking at the I'm pretty sure both are standard 3 ply (stainless-aluminum-stainless) material, but the MultiClad series is made in China and the French Classic is French made. MultiClad also has rolled/flared pouring rims and the French Classics are straight on the rim; compare the rims of the saucepans from the different lines and you should see the difference in shape. The standard All Clad Tri-Ply and MC2 series also lack the pouring rims on the sauce pans. I can tell my MC2s are a bit heavier and a bit thicker than the Tri-Ply on the 10 inch skillet, and they probably do perform marginally better. In reality, I don't notice if it really does. All the clad stuff I own all performs well enough. For me the most noticeable difference is the handles. For example I have a 3 quart sauce pan and it has a skinny, smooth, and rounded handle. Lifting it and moving it around is not too bad, but if you want to pour out if it then the handle sucks because it wants to spin in your hand while you're trying to tip the pot sidewards.

I am one of those "automatic pressure cookers are for babies who can't handle the real thing" snobs, I have two stove top pressure cookers and now I'm peeking over the fence at all the people having fun pressing a button for automatic pressure cooked stocks. Got a question for you Instant Pot owners, does it make any hissing when it's at pressure or is it a closed system?

I haven't done the side by side taste test myself yet but according to Dave Arnold closed pressure cookers make better tasting stock than open pressure cookers. And I thought I got a steal on my 7qt Kuhn Rikon for $165.

I honestly miss being able to properly sauté in the instant pot compared to a stovetop pressure kit, but it does do a reasonable facsimile of a real sauté. You just have to allow more time to reheat before adding more ingredients.
