No I'm looking for something so the roast, meatloaf, or whatever isn't sitting in it's own juice/fat. Like this but maybe a little better quality. https://smile.amazon.com/Granite-Ware-0513-2-Broil-3-Piece/dp/B000MJYE8I/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1508366026&sr=8-2&keywords=broiling+pan

TychoCelchuuu posted:I guess, although if cheaper things work just as good (like this one) I guess I'd prefer to get that. Anyone have expereince with these sorts of things? I can't speak for any other brand, but ThermoWorks' ThermoPop is cheaper ($30) and fine at candy/oil temps, if you don't care about being able to leave it in there.

Mr Executive posted:I'm interested in this too. I'm looking for quarter/half sheet pans that won't warp and are dishwasher safe. I'd be willing to pay a little bit if something worked well, but the several different pans I've tried from Marshall's/Home Goods have been trash. I just want something that doesn't warp, can be easily cleaned, and doesn't drip old rust water out of the rolled edges when I pull it out of the drawer. I have two of these half and quarter sheets and they have held up nicely: https://www.amazon.com/Nordic-Ware-...heet%2Bpan&th=1

Cookie-cooling racks are a real pain in the rear end to clean after being used that way. Look for a rack that only has lines in one direction, and a lot fewer of them. It'll be more than enough to support the meat, and actually possible to get clean.

The one I've got is something like this:  ...only with a flat rack that sits just slightly below the top of the pan. And most of the coating worn away so it's started to rust. All of the stainless ones that seem to show up on a search of e.g. amazon seem to have really low racks, which might work well for what they're designed for (roasting) but not what I want to do with them (broiling).

Steve Yun posted:So maybe a half sheet and one of these: I tried that once. Once! Cooling racks are a bitch to clean. And baking sheets warp like crazy when you broil. Sextro posted:Just cut some carrots and onions into planks and rings and use those? Or any veggie to roast really. I do that with pot roasts but it doesn't work with everything and would burn during broiling. My question at the bottom of the last page, was for a broiling/roasting pan that is better quality and smaller than the one that came with my oven. (so smaller than ~12x16) I thought it would be a common thing, guess not.

Steve Yun posted:I feel like any broiler pan should be fine then. I'm not aware of any quality difference between them...? Maybe there isn't. I honestly don't know. Maybe the ones that come with ovens are as good as it gets. It's all I've ever used. The one I have is doing the job, it's just 4X larger than needed 90% of the time. It'd be like cooking a hamburger in a 12" skillet, seems excessive. So I thought, hey, maybe I can get a smaller one and while I'm at it ... maybe they make better ones. But after looking on Amazon, I'm thinking that I will stick with what I have.

SubG posted:Yeah, as I say in the post just above yours all broiler pans seem to suck. Mostly because they're just not particularly well-designed for broiling. What I want is basically a weber grill with a drip pan that I can fit in an oven/broiler. But nobody seems to make anything like that. Couldn't you just use a flat wire roasting rack like this and a baking sheet or roasting pan? They come in a lot of shapes and sizes too so you could get a small one and a small pan for just doing a hamburger or two.

Any recommendations for bottle/liquor pourers? Something like this:  I have a couple I got from a dollar store and I'm tired of olive oil dripping down the side of the bottle.

This reminds me of the question I wanted to ask: anyone got a link for squeeze bottles that don't leak? I bought a cheap 6-pack from some random seller on Amazon and they work fine but they all have slicks of oil down their sides, which turn into slicks of oil on the shelf, and that gets nasty pretty quickly.

For all your "I need this one knick-knack in acceptable quality" needs, find your local kitchen supply store. Gordon Food Service or whatever. While you're there you can pick up that half or quarter baking sheet you've been meaning to pick up anyway. ...and a gallon tub of cole slaw for that family event you forgot you need a side dish for.

I bet we bought the same 6 pack although I got mine from AWD, damaged packaging, for a $1. Still have 5 of them unused. Before that I had the bottle with metal spout thing and liked it even less.

Look for (or make) ones that have a little grommet on the inside of the cap. You can just put a little plumber's tape around the threads instead if you want to, it works perfectly fine and even keeps the lids on tighter.

We have these ones at work I'm not sure where they came from but the top and the bottom both unscrew so you can scrub the whole bottle out.

Guy Axlerod posted:The only kitchen supply store in my area requires a sales tax exemption certificate. Know any good online ones? This may be true in your case but for the layperson, I always thought this was the case for GFS and it's not. They just have to ask when you hit checkout to punch the right tax key. Ensure whether this is actually the case for your local supply store. And I mean you could always file as a perfectly legal church of the Subgenius / Pastafarians / Jedi if this is a major hindrance in your life. Scientastic posted:I use old sriracha bottles, and they work great. Probably don't reuse disposable plastic bottles for food? Other than potentially leeching fun things into your food the research turns up phrases like "fecal coliform". Admittedly a lot of this comes from one small study with gradeschool kids who weren't washing their hands, but you see brosefs at the gym reusing a milk jug for drinking water all the time and... yeah. Reusing plastic (from cutting boards to whatever) eventually results in all sorts of cuts including microscopic ones. Especially if you ever put them in the dishwasher where the heat vastly increases the chance of leeching fun stuff. And bacteria loves to hide in there even if you're not getting carcinogens / tiny bits of plastic in your food. Sriracha has the virtues of being antibacterial inside and not being heated, so the risk factor is much smaller than other applications. But in the general case I'd tell people to just keep looking for a good reusable bottle. Guy Axlerod posted:The only kitchen supply store in my area requires a sales tax exemption certificate.

revwinnebago posted:Probably don't reuse disposable plastic bottles for food? I am absolutely 100% sure that "leachables" from reusing food safe plastics is a myth that has been busted repeatedly, and that if you put the bottle through a dishwasher before use, and refrigerate the bottles, there is about the same level of risk as using Tupperware. That is to say, the risk is negligible. But if you want to spend money unnecessarily, I guess that's your call. Scientastic fucked around with this message at 16:22 on Oct 23, 2017 |

So far as I'm aware, the science isn't that settled. http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2017/02/bpa-safety-war-battle-over-evidence But it is at the level where if you're not microwaving plastics then the effect can be deemed debatable so it's up to you.

Le Creuset kettles have a black lining on the interior that will invariably start flaking off within a year or two's time. I've had it happen twice (and they have been kind to replace it, but in researching it, this "is a thing".

I'm tired of replacing my nonstick skillets every 2 years, and can now afford better than the $15 Chef's Choice ones. Is the Calphalon Unison mentioned in the OP still the recommended best nonstick? What about the ones with the checkerboard pattern I see TV chefs use? I'm willing to spend up to $200 for a 10"/12" combo set with lids, or the equivalent piecemeal. Please give me advice Goon Hivemind.

Is the Calphalon Unison mentioned in the OP still the recommended best nonstick? What about the ones with the checkerboard pattern I see TV chefs use? I hate to say it, but even if you buy the nicer ones you are going to be replacing them every few years. Non stick coating is going to wear off no matter how nice the pan is. I’d jump up to something in the $30 range like Tramontina or Cuisinart and call it a day. It’s not really worth it after that. What are you cooking in the pans anyway?

I got calphalon non stick stuff when I got married, and it is still in basically perfect shape with regular use. It’s never seen a metal utensil, only the plastic stuff that matched it when we got the set or wooden stuff. I was married in tyool Y2K.
