I think I paid $120. Spray around the button with all purpose kitchen cleaner, it gets stuck a lot from grease in the air eventually accumulating there

quote:Are you sure about that? Our health inspector in Austin told us that cooked bacon was considered a shelf stable product that didn’t even need refrigeration. The USDA website considers cooked bacon shelf stable as long as it’s cooked to a .85 water activity, and gives the guideline of that level being reached if the cooked product weight has been reduced 40% or more from the raw weight. I'm going by the 4 hour rule, though I'm sure it's safe to eat. I don't want anyone sicking a lawyer on me because they ate a roach-coach food truck, year-old mayo, and one piece of my bacon before getting sick and rushing to the ER. Also, the bacon gets cool and the fat congeals, it's not as tasty and gets an odd texture. And that doesn't encourage people to buy my bacon.

Is there anything special about wok rings I should know (materials, brands, designs) before buying one or are they all basically the same? Mine didn't come with one.

I'm also seeing cast iron ones that are more like a trivet (rather than plated steel with holes on the side). I guess I could try them both and return one.

I got a cast iron one designed for my range that meshes with the existing cast iron grates to hold everything in place. Would highly recommend if you can find one for your model.

I'm looking to replace a couple of pots, specifically this one: https://www.ikea.com/nl/en/p/hemlagad-pot-with-lid-black-00462213/, which I have right now in 3 and 5L. (Since it's non-stick predictably it's gone to poo poo after a couple of years, but otherwise was pretty good and cheap) Is tri-ply worth it for pots this sorta size? Most of my meals I cook in these sort of pots end up being, very broadly, "fry some poo poo in the pan then add liquids after a while", and I'm wondering if tri-ply would be preferable for the first stage. The reason I ask is I also cook pasta/rice/etc in these pots, and having a lid that rotates so you can easily drain the pan is extremely useful, but having easy draining lids + tri-ply seems to be mutually exclusive, at least here in Europe. (I don't mind spending silly money on kitchen equipment, so reasonably expensive options are fine, separately I don't want to cook this kinda stuff in a Dutch oven because I am lazy and for daily use I want pans that I can stick in the dishwasher)

tri-ply is great and you're making a good choice getting rid of nonstick teflon pots. they're 100% unnecessary. having one or two teflon pans for eggs and whatnot is fine but there's absolutely no reason for nonstick pots to exist.

Would highly recommend if you can find one for your model. Good call on matching the grate. Of course I have a five claw grate on my range which limits me to just two options. This one looks good but the listing titled "Material-Wok Stand Stable and not Shaking" has me curious what happens if I shake it https://www.amazon.com/dp/B096RSLD9G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_CQ8JMXVQV290AA2KK2EX?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 E: after reading some reviews it's just poorly translated to mean "it's stable and won't shake"

Steve Yun posted:https://www.tiktok.com/embed/7030484029698854150 It's a pretty genericized design, all over the various dropshippers as just "manual meat slicer". Works pretty well, though the caddy tends to bend over time, probably why she's just using gloves. Sometimes has trouble with even slices of thicker muscle meats because of this. But there's not much else that can go wrong with it, and you'd still have to be trying a lot harder to slip a finger under the guard than you would with a disc slicer.

Honestly, unless you are cooking for a large party, it’s generally more work to clean it than just chop veggies yourself, imo. Still, it’s nice to have when you don’t feel like grating a whole block of cheese by hand, etc.

I use it all the time for onions and bell peppers for gumbo. It immediately turns 2-3 onions and bell peppers into tiny pieces like I want, then I wash it out. The whole process is like 30 seconds and no effort. I use the little processor to mince garlic too. Turns a head of garlic into tiny pieces in 10 seconds. Quick wash and voilà. Much better than hand-mincing 20 cloves of garlic.

I usually just handwash my aluminum baking sheet but my gf likes to put it in the dishwasher and now it’s getting ugly looking. Besides looks is that going to cause any problems down the line that I don’t know about? Not sure how much to care about it.

Yes, if your detergent is harsh enough. I had an old beat up pan I wanted to try dishwashing after use to see if it could handle it. It ended up gross, like bare flaky matte gray metal that would come off into your food if you didn't use aluminum foil.  I then did an experiment "can you season an aluminum pan with flax oil, like it's a cast iron pan?" The answer is "Yes, but if you have a pregnant wife she will despise you for the smell." The smell only lasted during 3 rounds of seasoning plus a couple uses afterwards, but it's a consideration to keep in mind.  So far the flax seasoning has gone through one dishwasher cycle, I'll report back after a dozen more.

If you start from new and don't put it in the dishwasher, you can definitely season it. That may have happened to mine due to roast chickens and laziness. However, even then you can't dishwash it without loving it up. Anne Whateley fucked around with this message at 07:18 on Dec 1, 2021 |

friendship ended with kitchenaid. got a six quart pro that's complete dogshit, terrible fit and finish, not satisfied with the amount of torque. is there a superior brand around that size that can handle regular commercial use, possibly enough power for a brioche? i can go higher in price if it's not garbage.

For bread doughs, in increasing cost and quality/durability, Bosch Universal, Ankarsum Original, and Robot Coupe would be ones to look into.

Hi thread, I'm looking for Christmas present ideas. Please tell me what are the current hotnesses for: • Pasta extruders • Ice cream makers (the ones you put on your counter that don't use rock salt) • Kitchen scales (is that one scale SymmetryrtemmyS hocked awhile back still the go-to?)

I got the AC cable to power it, but I put batteries in it to make it a bit more convenient and it is just so much better. The batteries have lasted forever, too...I don't think I even know where the AC cable is any more.

We have the Cuisinart machine (ICE-100) and it works great for what we do (fresh ice cream maybe once a week). There’s also Whynter and Breville models which are roughly equivalent that you can look at as well.

Get a coffee scale like this - it auto tares when you turn it on instead of yelling "OL" at you. It also takes much longer to auto shut off. I am so happy I upgraded my cheap drug scale to a cheap coffee scale. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089JYMRK6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_A6JSMSQFGV2ANCK5AFN8?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Modernist stuff maybe; but it’s normally small quantity as well. I keep a $10 drug scale in a drawer for precise stuff, and use an oxo scale 99.9% of the time.
