It might just make pineapple kombucha. How far off from tepache is kombucha, flavor-wise? Apparently tepache normally will become vinegar in a few days and you're supposed to drink it before it gets to that stage. A kombucha scoby might just rush it straight to the end. I am not an expert, though, and my noma book is packed up to move.

Ask me about Briar Rose and Chicken Chaser.
Does anyone have suggestions about how to adjust this recipe for 15 oz of pumpkin instead of 18? Or where I can get 18 oz cans of pumpkin?

I wouldn't bother changing anything honestly. 15 vs 18 of pumpkin will be negligible. If you're really worried about it, mix all of the other ingredients together, and just take out like 1/4 cup of that mixture before whisking in the pumpkin.

Or add a dollop of apple butter or lekvar to make up the difference, or buy the big can of pumpkin and use only 15 oz of it

i would expect a williams sonoma recipe to be designed to trick gullible hamptons-types into buying 9/10ths of a jar of poo poo they don't really need at a 5000% markup. they probably sell an 18 oz can exclusively at the store.

nthing it doesn't matter


e: i meant to say 1/10th of a jar.

I've been meaning to find it in the tooth paste tubes you see on TV, but I keep buying the same old cans because I'm a creature of habit.

Sometimes a Tablespoon or two is all you really need. I just put plastic wrap on the can and keep it in the fridge.

I guess if it's really good that long. I do like the anchovy version of that but it's like 50% salt

It is! Water availability is very low, and unless you gently caress it up there won't be any oxygen to ruin flavors.

The Amore tomato paste in the tubes also taste vastly superior to any canned tomato paste I’ve tried, so there’s that too.

This is one of those whoa moments for me, finding out you guys don't have tomato paste in tubes? A lot of food comes in tubes here, and it lasts almost forever that way.

I ended up with a bunch of fennel that was bought accidentally at work ("funny looking leeks at the Depot today" he said). I've made two soups and roasted some with root vegetables under a bird. I have one large bulb left. What should I do with it?

My good old sous vide finally died off. Lasted from 2015, so I'm not complaining. Asked about repairs, and they said no, but gave me a discount code. So: Anova Nano or the standard unit? Difference of a hundred bucks. Website doesn't do a great job of differentiating them. Seems like the only difference is the standard will heat more water and the Nano only has wifi, which seems like not a lot for a hundo.

I buy lemongrass and ginger in tube for home use. I've also used tomato, anchovy, curry paste and harissa from tubes, I was just surprised that their shelf life was years rather than weeks.

Alton Brown's recent thing was putting the can in the freezer and once frozen, remove lids on both ends and use it like a push pop to cut off the amount needed, then put the can in a ziplock. That tube scenario sounds a lot easier though.

I assume they’re in a salty vinegar marinade? The flavor may be dull and texture could suffer but I doubt they’d hurt you to try them.

Get a joule instead. It’s cheapish, crazy easy to use, heats up super fast and the app is great. I’ve used it at LEAST twice per week for like 3 years with zero problems.

I see they still haven't added physical controls to their device. I mean yeah I always have my phone on me but it's way easier to just set the temp and click go on the device. Also at this point of 3 years of use I remembered every cook temp for the proteins I make.

The nano should be fine and cheap enough that you can get two for when you need to cook for a party

Its water resistance is a big improvement over the original anovas

I think once opened, you are supposed to use it within a couple weeks according to the packaging. But in use it does seem to last way longer

How do you buy a pineapple?

I saw some voodoo BS on Facebook about how to ripen pineapples, and I realized that mere fact that I was entertaining doing it was proof that I know nothing about buying ripe pineapples. The woman likes pineapple, so lately I've been buying them regularly, but I never get good ones.

Just buy one with no obvious defects.

Put it on your counter.

Smell it once a day. If you can smell pineapple sweetness, cut it open that day.

Wasn't it a bunch of change? I'm thinking of prices now and going back to 2015 when they were ostensibly higher. I just figure if it had happened to me that I would be complaining about it.
