Question, Calphalon is on Amazon but doesn't ship to Austria. Any European chefs got suggestions for non-sticky and normal frying pans?

I get relatively cheap namebrand non-stick pans from TJ Maxx and other department stores and they're typically fantastic and last a very long time. Currently using a Cuisinart 10" nonstick that I paid roughly $16US for. It's heavy-bottomed, easy to clean, and very sturdy. I believe it's this one. Non-stick pans will eventually wear out, some faster than others, but it'll happen eventually. That Tramontina is beautiful and feels great (I had the luxury of using one a few months back), but you can get a comparably solid non-stick for much cheaper from the right source. I don't know if they have stores similar to TJ Maxx/Marshalls/Century 21 where you're from, but that's usually where I go to get my kitchen/home supplies first. They always have name brand stuff for cheap, like Oxo, Joseph Joseph, Cuisinart, Calphalon, etc.

Any recs on a small bread maker? Looking for a gift for my mother-in-law who has celiacs and also can't move around too much. I remember using a bread maker at an ex's apartment that was super easy. Was gonna get her the pre-mixed gluten free bread mix as well.

Some of them come that way. My IP liner is the same. I think it's a hedge against it warping some other way. My 10" tfal is dead flat but the 12" is domed, they are also made differently, the 10 is definitely higher quality. I hardly use them anymore but my wife does and I'm going to need replacements soon and was looking at the Tramontina.

I want to use this weekend as a chance to get a stand mixer at a discount. I'm looking at KitchenAids and while I don't mind springing for the pricier models it seems like the KA Pro 6's larger bowl would give me troubles if I'm doing smaller batches of things. Most of my cooking is things I'm cooking just for myself. So I'd imagine I'd be aiming to more often be doing smaller breads or batches of pasta and what not. Does anyone have much experience using the Artisan or Classic for smaller batches?

I'll grant that this was a few years ago, it was ordered online and shipped. I wouldn't say I treated it with kid gloves, but I also didn't do anything dumb like cook high ior dunk until cold water when it was warm. After reading the previous T-Fal recommendations, I picked up one from Homegoods a few months ago. It hasn't warped yet and for the price, it's been a good deal for me.

Croatoan posted:I'd still recommend the Instant Pot though if you have the extra cash. I'm certain it'll be on sale on Friday or Monday. Totally valid advice, but this is a counter space issue: it's at a premium in my kitchen, and I'm looking for a rice cooker small enough that it can live on my counter. This is why I didn't want one of those really big ones! I do plan on buying an Instant pot one of these days, but I want the big one, so it's going to have to be stored in a cabinet between uses, just like the crockpot.

I remember using a bread maker at an ex's apartment that was super easy. Was gonna get her the pre-mixed gluten free bread mix as well. We tried several bread makers cheap from the local thrift store. All of them went back except for the Zojirushi - it makes good bread. We have a relative with celiacs and it has no problems with the recipes he needs. If it ever dies I will cry a bit and spend the $$ to buy a new one. It might be bigger than you like and new they are not cheap.

I should note that the Zoji Virtuoso (and its successor, the Virtuoso Plus) have dedicated gluten-free settings, and are pretty well-recommended (though still pricey).

Might be a strange question, but what's a good salt shaker? Bought some MSG and realized having it in a bag isn't that handy. I was gonna just grab the cheapest on amazon but reviews there say it rusts easily and quickly. I could store it in a tub but I might as well get a shaker for it if I'm gonna leave it on my counter instead of in the spice cabinet.

I use small ball jars for different salts and the plastic screw on lids they look nice all lined up. E: to actually answer your question they have shaker lids you can put on ball jars too. I just find it's better to keep salts stored air tight. Thumposaurus fucked around with this message at 15:27 on Dec 9, 2019 |

My partner has cooked rice on stovetop for years and I want to get them a nice rice cooker. Could anybody give some thoughts on the options below? Looks like the Zojirushi NS-TSC10 and NS-TSC18 are generally recommended as the high end cookers, and both land around the $160 mark. I'm not really sure the difference between those though? Is one just a newer model with miniscule differences? Not really sure where the NS-ZCC10 compares to those, it's about the same price, but...is prettier I guess? The NP-HCC10XH looks to be the ultrapremium option, though not really sure if it's worth the extra $100 for keep warm setting, but I guess it being made in Japan gives the justification for that extra cost. There are a couple others (Panasonic), but glancing around none of them really seem to stand out above the Zojirushi options. Any I should be considering? Any advice would be fantastic.

Lhet posted:My partner has cooked rice on stovetop for years and I want to get them a nice rice cooker. Could anybody give some thoughts on the options below? If I had to replace mine, I'd absolutely go for the induction model, with my reasoning being that I use the loving thing constantly, so slightly higher convenience/quality a several times a week averaged over more than ten years is worth the extra US$100. But I'm in the position that an extra US$100 isn't a major budget decision and, like I said, I use the thing a loving lot. If either of those wasn't true, it is absolutely the case that you can get perfectly fine rice out of a US$50 rice cooker that will also last for years.

I have an Aroma rice cooker that I use a handful of times per month that has lasted me like 6 years now. It works fine, and I'd probably buy it again but in a much smaller size. The 10 cup one is goddamned enormous and I should have just returned it when it was gifted to me to get the smaller one that is exactly the same price. I have jealously eyed the Zoijirushis, especially since I love the coffee maker I have from them, but I simply don't eat (or need to eat) enough rice to justify it. (I just felt the need to chime in because you mentioned the cheapo ones working fine, to confirm) Solanumai fucked around with this message at 00:32 on Dec 11, 2019 |

FYI at least with my Zojirushi NS-LHC05XT, the cook time for rice of any volume is 60 minutes. There is a setting for quick rice which lowers it to I think 40 min and seems to do fine with our normal basmati. It was a bit of an unpleasant surprise coming from cheaper rice cookers which do the job in 20-30 min.

It was a bit of an unpleasant surprise coming from cheaper rice cookers which do the job in 20-30 min. The longer cook time definitely bites you in the rear end at first but you can set timers so it cooks in time for you to get home or you can have it start cooking as you head to the gym and it will kick to auto warm at the end so whenever you get home and start cooking you've got rice. My only gripe with them is that I live alone and they only make as little as one scoop of rice (I've had weird results with getting the water right for less) so I always end up with at least a little extra rice left over and second day rice from the fridge kinda sucks.
