I'll probably wait a month or two for reviews and feedback to trickle in about the Anova oven. Don't really want to buy a launch appliance without knowing if there are any QA issues.

Treated myself to this 12" carving knife as I'm tired of trying to slice roasts with my chef's knife and the serrations on my longass bread knife aren't great for it.

I love Thanksgiving so much that I am going to celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving too from now on. Its my favorite holiday hands down. Eat a bunch of food, drink a ton, and go comatose while watching football. Now that I think about it, thats how I want to die...

Ethereal posted:What are everyone's thoughts on a standard oven + toaster oven vs a double oven? Does anyone not have a microwave and ever miss it? I'm not in the market for an Anova oven but I just moved into an apartment with a nice Miele electric convection oven, and good lord is it amazing. I'll trade small size for accuracy, dry heat, convection any day. I haven't had a microwave in a decade plus at least. If you think you can live without a microwave, you can live without a microwave. I think the only thing I'm still occasionally annoyed about is not being able to soften butter? But that's also annoying in a microwave, so, maybe nothing...

I probably still use my microwave just enough to not get rid of it/replace it with a toaster oven. Like boiling only a cup of water or reheating garbage fast food in a minute or two. I do use my oven a lot more though.

I like having the countertop real estate more than I like being able to nuke food. reheating noodly things is mildly challenging, but that's really it edit: but I know some people use them a lot. nothin' wrong with that, either double edit: one time, apropos of nothing, a guy walked up to me while I was selling at a Sunday market and told me he had a theory that microwaves mutate the DNA of food. his specific example was hotdog DNA. hotdog DNA. the hotdog genome. he did not buy any pottery.

I didn't have a microwave for years and as soon as I had one again I knew I had inflicted completely unnecessary pain on myself for my own hubris. gently caress not having a microwave.

Especially a pana that can actually do low yield blasts. Softening butter in one of those is not a pain. It's just such a handy tool for thawing stock and such too or just being lazy with leftovers.

My microwave broke recently and I've been ok reheating everything in the toaster oven because I'm too lazy to replace it. If you have a freezer and you use it you should really have a microwave though.

In some areas landlords can evict you for microwaving eggs. At least, there ought to be.

Are the 80 dollar thermoworks readers significantly better than the 20 dollar thermopro readers? The descriptions provided by the companies make them sound similar.

Softening butter in one of those is not a pain. It's just such a handy tool for thawing stock and such too or just being lazy with leftovers. It's these, really. If you take away the undeserved stigma that microwaves developed of "a cheap device to heat cheap frozen dinner that real cooks would never use", it's just an incredibly versatile kitchen tool. Softening butter becomes a 20 second effort. Reheating rice doesn't require a separate pan and a few minutes. You can rapid-thaw a loaf of bread of cut of meat. You can cook perfectly decent salmon and steamed vegetables. If you look at the raw amount of effort/time saved & overall versatility vs. other kitchen implements, microwaves are a top-tier appliance. Very rarely is something so useful you don't even really realize how useful it is just because you use it so much you're basically desensitized to it.

If you're asking if a Thermapen is 4x better than a kitchen thermometer that cost 1/4 as much, if you're a home cook then that'll depend on how dear ~US$80 is to you. Before I got one I owned a number of random kitchen thermometers, but if I had to start from scratch again I'd definitely pick up another Thermapen if I could afford it. Just because it's one of those things where once you get one, it's one of those "well, that's that problem solved" kind of things. And as a note, the Mk4 is currently on sale for US$75 (instead of the usual US$99).

So something like this: https://www.amazon.com/ThermoPro-Waterproof-Thermometer-Ambidextrous-Thermocouple/dp/B07R18W3W1?ref_=ast_sto_dp 3 second read time and +- 1 degree of accuracy for 30 bucks. What makes the MK4 better (if anything)?

Interesting. The first reviewer I found that compared the two said it did take 3 seconds but read a degree hotter than her MK4. Did some more digging, and found one that said Thermoworks takes longer and a couple that said it took 3 seconds. Is the read time the main difference? We cook some meat that needs temperature taken maybe twice a month so I don't think an extra 2 seconds would bother us very much. Can definitely see that getting annoying if you use it daily though.

I’ll never not buy thermoworks because literally every single other thermometer I have ever had has malfunctioned earlier than any thermoworks product I own, down to the probes. E: I say get whatever Thermoworks you can find that meets your price criteria.

As someone who got the cheaper clone, I'd imagine the Thermoworks one would have a better build quality since my thermometer's plastic hinge eventually broke from constant use.

If you want a cheaper thermoworks one the thermopop mentioned is good. Although the one I had got some moisture into it and stopped working 3-4 years of heavy daily use. I replaced it with a thermoworks dot because for what I was using it for a wired prob was more suited for my needs.

Ymmv, I have some $12 "instant-read" one and I've been happy with it for years. It might take two whole seconds longer to reach a final temp, but I don't care since I'm just temping one thing and not a restaurant's worth (which is where it really makes a difference imo). I do also have a thermoworks ChefAlarm probe. It's very nice but overkill. I originally had an Ikea probe, and I would've stuck with that except I wanted one that could handle a negative alarm too.

I've used a thermapen knockoff for about a year before the body started to have issues, specifically the button the probe pushed on to turn it off when closed. It read temps fast and accurate enough until it didn't. I got a thermopop and a dot and I've been very happy with the for about 2 years now. I use one of them at least weekly, if not more. It's just so easy to spot check with a good thermometer if it reads fast enough for you.
