mediaphage posted:weigh whatever scoop you want to use. a good starting point is 17:1 water to coffee beans by weight 2 tblspoons of coffee is ~ 10 grams. So, four scoops (of a standard coffee scoop, google it if you need) = 40 grams. 40* 17 = 680 grams = roughly 23.5 ounces of water. If you want to hit the ratio exactly you need to add 1 more gram of coffee. So, three level scoops and 1 slightly heaped.

Teabag Dome Scandal posted:What grater do folks like for cheese and veggie grating? I've hated nearly every box grater I've ever used either because they're too small or uncomfortable to hold. I saw someone somewhere suggest a more coarse and wider microplane which seems like it might be the ticket? IMO the coarse professional is the microplane to get. I had the handle crack on one of the plastic ones.

I think that's been pretty bog standard stuff for decades, all the way down to the plastic scoops you get in Folgers tubs.

My father in law turned me a handle for a coffee scoop. It is one of those cool Rockler kits like the measuring spoons and pens and stuff. This one is 1.5 tablespoons.

Looking at ranges, and essentially looks like in my price bracket (2-3k) there's a legitimate tradeoff of the higher end consumer models (the top end Samsung, Kitchenaid Pro, etc) and the mock-professional ones (Thor, Ilve, Hallman are the ones I've seen so far). The latter seem designed more to put into house flips, or for people whose kitchen is more decoration than anything. Does anyone have experience with them? I really love the look of this Hallman here: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Hallman...0BSMG/304183043  But, there's enough reviews about how finicky they are that it gives me pause. We cook several times a week so we can't buy a pretty paperweight, but we're also not "cook 21 times a week" people either.

Someone in the Crapper Construction thread in HCH has a consumer reports subscription and will look up ratings for people. The thing I’d be most worried about with the “fancy rich people” brands like that is the cost of repair- the availability of replacement parts, or if there’s even a brand certified repair person in your area.

I have a Kitchenaid "commercial-style" range and I loving love it, fwiw. I have no idea why my landlord put Kitchenaid appliances in my cheap apartment, but I'm not complaining.

Steve Yun posted:If I wanna do neapolitan pizza at home, will a baking steel and broiler in the oven do, or should I get a weber kettle pizza adapter there's some question as to whether you should be getting steel or aluminum at this point, if it matters, since the key metric is how much thermal energy you can dump into your dough. what kind of timing are you looking to get to? how much do you want to spend? if you read the pizza thread you'll notice there are ovens out there that can really giv'er, but you'll need a 220V hookup for most of them. the breville pizzaiolo will work on 110V, but it's small. with that said: i don't do neapolitan pizzas very often; i tend to stick to larger pizzas that are a little crisper on the bottom and fairly reasonably fully - though not absurdly - topped with sauce, cheese, and meat or veg or both. those sorts of pizzas i can get done in my oven in a max of five minutes (for i'm guessing maybe a 14-inch pizza?). i heat up a steel on the top rack and turn on the broiler when i put the pizza in. depending on your oven, you may be able to get the steel even hotter by heating it up beneath said broiler, too. it will vary from oven to oven.

Eventually the noodles get slashed the hell up and fall out, bent or leave slivers on your knife. I switched to this universal knife block from Eva Solo. New it’s overpriced but this guy is selling used for $20 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Danish-Des...vkAAOSwjIpgMSRb What’s also neat is that if you want it to hold cleavers you can turn the inserts sideways  Zorak of Michigan posted:But don't get a knife block, get a magnetic knife holder of some sort.

I. M. Gei posted:Well gang, the time has finally come to replace the family microwave! Our current one is literally older than me, and while it still technically works, it’s not nearly as powerful as a modern-day unit and it doesn’t have a turntable. It still turns on, it still heats up our food (if slowly and unevenly), and to be quite honest I’m gonna be really sad to see it go... but I think it’s time to move on to a newer model. UPDATE: After getting no replies to this question here, I went to the General Questions thread and asked there, and they recommended a Panasonic inverter microwave. So I looked up some reviews and got a Panasonic NN-SN965S Inverter microwave... https://www.homedepot.com/p/Panasonic-2-2-cu-ft-Countertop-Microwave-in-Stainless-Steel-with-Sensor-Cooking-NN-SN965S/206483737 ... and it kicks all kinds of rear end, and after 3 months my dad can’t stop raving about it and how we should’ve bought one way sooner. Also it ISN’T made in the same factory as every other microwave brand on earth, I checked. A million/10, would recommend, would buy again, Steve Yun put it in the OP. (I do still kind of miss our old rear end Caloric Twin-Wave though, it had sentimental value to me and may have been a literal antique (apparently it was one of the first microwave models ever made) but dad loves the Panasonic so much that he gave the Twin-Wave to Goodwill)

I think a lot of recipes that use a microwave assume a 1000w unit well you can enter in a power setting. is that going to be a 1:1 reduction in microwave energy in your food? only panasonic knows. presumably you’re aware but their whole inverter schtick is that the magnetron remains engaged the entire time rather than achieving power reduction by cycling on and off. having said all of this i recommend trying things out first. i’ve had microwaves that cook very differently but are ostensibly the same rated wattage, whether that’s due to volume, interior finishing, or something else entirely.

Panasonic microwaves are great, if you have a new house with AFCIs instead of GFCIs you’ll need to buy a Tripplite (or similar) surge protector because the inverter angries up the AFCI. I bought this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000510Z9/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_lVn2HQX3p8l8a

Still looking at the stainless steel sets at Costco. Anyone know of any better deals then what is currently available at Costco vs BB&B?
