I use a squat ball jar with a clamp closure though now that I know there's a whole dang accessory just for salt I'm intrigued.

I used a delitainer for ages, then I got some little cocettes for Christmas last year that have taken that role so that they can be on display.

Emile Henry salt pig works great. No clumping or salt contamination issues, looks nice. Bee House stuff is nice though, I have a few of their teapots.

The one I use came from Yamazaki home, it works great and holds a a pretty generous amount of salt. I also have the sugar one and they make a cute matching pair. No hinged lid type situation though, much like the other poster I just take the lid off when I start cooking and then put it back when I'm done. https://theyamazakihome.com/products/tosca-ceramic-canister-salt They also have a smaller, "butter dish" that would work just as well for salt I would imagine. https://theyamazakihome.com/collections/kitchen/products/tosca-butter-dish

My girlfriend got me the Emile Henry salt pig as a gift It's lovely (esp since I work in MEP design and it looks just like a ceramic pipe) but at ~$40 it's a little ridic. Awesome lil extravagant gift for anyone you know who is using a delitainer though

Any one have experience with lower carb rice cookers? My research seems to indicate they aren't some kind of magic bullet but there are some benefits. Plus it can't hurt right? And the cookers have regular settings too. Was looking at this Toshiba one: https://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-Digital-Programmable-Multi-functional-Cooker/dp/B091TLKF2H/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8&th=1

Apparently it has a basket that allegedly filters out some types of starch or something? Unless you're diabetic and you have actually tested that this helps control your blood sugar levels or something I'm a bit skeptical.

The trick to making low carb rice is it's just regular rice but you make less of it.

That seems essentially it. The water soluble carbs get washed/drained out a bit. So you end up with less rice. It's not going to make rice good for you but theoretically it should be a little less bad. It's essentially just a basket the rice sits in as it cooks I figure it can't hurt right? bamhand fucked around with this message at 18:57 on Oct 12, 2021 |

You should be washing your rice before cooking it anyway. If you are reducing carbs because you are diabetic or have some other metabolic disorder then get brown rice and use a Zojirushi cooker with a setting for brown rice.

Does anyone use one of those handheld milk frothers that look just like weird circular whisks for anything other than frothing milk? I've been noticing a lot of my favorite youtube cooks use that poo poo for seemingly everything, a lot of stuff you would use an immersion belnder for but when you don't need to actually chop anything. Anyone have any good recommendations for one?

Anyone have any good recommendations for one? Mixing anything light it tends to work. Occasionally you don't have enough liquid to use the immersion blender but want to mix something quickly (flour and gravy). I don't know that I've seen upscale ones, I just have a cheap one and it works fine. If there's a good one with a rechargable battery I'd be interested.

Whipped cream works wonderfully unless you're making a huge batch

The $2 Ikea one is lightweight but works well for light applications like frothing milk and mixing cocoa powder into cocoa. Probably works for gravy powder, not sure if I'd use it for real gravy. I've tried it for whipped cream and the thing is, it can do small batches, but with small batches, most of it ends up spattered on the sides of the cup.

Does anybody have recommendations for a continuous feed food mill? Manual or electric is fine. After a summer of pushing tomatoes through sieves with spoons and the threat of another crop next year I’ve decided to just throw money at the problem.

Does anyone have any suggestions/preferences when it comes to egg cooking rings? I've been using my electric griddle a lot more lately for breakfasts since it does such an incredible job on pancakes/bacon/french toast/etc, but my counter tops are not remotely level. So whenever it gets to the egg cooking stage of preparing breakfast, they just slide all around/spread out and they end up super sloppy instead of being cooked perfectly because of this. Most of the metal ones I'm seeing on amazon seem to have lots of bad reviews about build quality/welds failing/paint flaking off/etc and then most of the silicone one seem to have complains about not being round or flat, eggs leaking, overall being cheap and useless, so it'd be great if anyone has some first hand experience with ones that actually work well. Would I maybe be better off getting some of those restaurant quality stainless steel ring molds that they use for plating up stuff in perfect little circles?

I do my Round Eggs in a buttered ramakin in the air fryer. I know it's not directly the answer you're looking for but it's very fast and easy. In your situation I'd try putting something on top of the rings (making sure you don't scratch the nonstick) to weight them down, give a better deal to the cooking surface, and stop them from moving. Small plate? Obviously this might keep steam on the top of the egg also.

I've had mixed success using stainless biscuit cutting rings but I think you need to spray them with some nonstick so the eggs don't cling to the edges

just hold your hands tightly in a circle with the eggs on the pan easy peasy and generates a wonderful aroma

We've got silicone rings and even when they're not perfectly level (Gotta position them precisely or the edge of my pan will smush them) they generally still help keep most of the egg in the spot I want it. A lid to keep steam in helps too.

Alternatively, buy a tiny nonstick pan just for a single fried egg. Its pretty convenient, tbh. I got a 5” nonstick off Amazon a few years ago for ~$7 that I use all the time for putting fried eggs on top of everything I eat Eg. Gotham Steel Mini Egg and Omelet Pan with Ultra Nonstick Titanium & Ceramic Coating - 5.5", Dishwasher Safe, Stay Cool Handle https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07876YC1K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_E700BX0C9V6S22AN1D7V
