I managed to get a bunch of All-Clad at BBB via using the 20% off coupon on it a few years back when the manager overrode the coupon exclusion to do it because she was quitting.

To continue the air fryer chat, are there any air fryer/toaster oven combos that are worth looking at? Looking at the reviews for even decently-rated ones, there are still a lot of "It stopped working one nanosecond after the warranty expired" sort of posts. I'd love to buy something from a manufacturer that was willing to sell replacement parts, but that doesn't seem to exist in this space.

I want to make a fuckload of tomato-based pasta sauce tomorrow, but for complicated reasons not worth getting into all I have here is a stainless (or aluminum?) stockpot. Is it going to burn and stick to the bottom? It will, won't it

Is it going to burn and stick to the bottom? It will, won't it Should be totally fine just manage your heat and add other stuff first (with olive oil or something) before a bunch of fluid so you can deglaze the pot before adding the diced tomatoes or whatnot. Once you actually have fluid in there you won't have it ripping hot anyways so I don't know why it would burn. The acid from the tomatoes is not something I'd be worried about but I'm definitely paying attention to see if other replies confirm that's a problem.

It’s this one: https://www.breville.com/au/en/products/ovens/bov860.html But an older model. On sale I think it was about $300. It’s great at air frying, convection, toasting, pizzas, etc. And pretty compact all things considered, though it’s bigger than a simple toaster oven or air fryer.

Thanks for the replies, that's a relief. I usually use an enameled dutch oven and have never ever had sticking or burning problems, but I associate all stainless/aluminum cookware with "sticks and burns in like 2 seconds"

Breville oven is good, keep in mind it doesn't have a built in drip pan like this Cuisinart. I actually wanted the latter, but it was too tall to fit in my kitchen space.

I bought a nice kitchen scale, and it broke within a year, so I'm using an analogue one that's like 70 years old instead. Works fine, except they're not great for fine measurements. Anyone got a reccomendation for digital kitchen scales that aren't gonna die within a year? (UK)

Was looking at those! I would have to really find somewhere permanent for them to live, probably not even in the kitchen because I don't have any useful plug sockets in there, but it looks like a good option. Seems like they're here for half the price, too. Same model number.

The battery can charge via the ac adapter when it would die we'd just plug it in for a few hours and then unplug it when it was charged.

I bought an Ozeri a year ago on goon recommendation and it seems to be a great value for price and it can slot away a lot easier. Good budget option, no idea its levity but the posts that led me to it said years and years.

I "wasted" money on the AC adapter as after a while I threw some batteries in it and they've lasted, with daily use, at least a couple years by this point. I'd say stick with the battery power if you get one.

what are the keywords I want to search for for a restaurant style fume hood above my stove if I renovated? I'm 100% ok with moving my microwave/etc, I like searing poo poo and I want super good smoke extraction above my stove. (ok doesn't need to be restaurant grade but like, big volume)

I’d recommend getting one side a little wider than your range. I got a 600 CFM model and it works pretty well.

Apparently for an electric stove you want to multiply the width by 10 (so for example 360 CFM for a 36 inch stove). Also just keep in mind if you have a newer house it will likely be better sealed to the outside, and codes typically require make up air sources for the air being sucked out by the hood.

There is usually a cutoff in the building code. Locally for me it’s 600CFM. But if you are going through any attic space it should be fine because you can pull the makeup air from there.

I would go no lower than 400cfm. Even those can be noisy though, so if you can swing the expense and install costs, a hood with a remote blower is a fantastic option.

Wolf makes hoods with remote blowers. You pick out the hood part that you see and pair it with the blower of the size you want/need. Ours is on the outside of the roof so even at full blast it’s pretty quiet. You hear air rushing but not so much motor noise. We also have a remote air makeup damper installed for the reasons listed above.

Exterior blowers are definitely the way to go if you can swing it. I plan to install one of the Broan E46E series hoods as soon as the weather breaks. They offer anywhere from 600-1500 CFM externally mounted blowers or slightly lower flow rates for their inline blowers. I’m going to try it without the air makeup since my house is from the 70s and I can just crack a window if necessary.

IDK if this is the right thread for it, but, I moved into a place with a gas hookup for outdoor grilling. I've never lived in a place like that. Used charcoal before, or wood before that. Do I have to get a guy to install whatever I buy? What kind of gas grill is recommended? I am keen on the idea because I had an ex who had an outdoor gas grill, and it was easy because you could just turn it on and 5 minutes later (or less) you could be cooking the meat. It's a huge production with charcoal or wood. I used to have big parties where we'd all braai (grill outdoors) but I don't see myself doing that much any more, so it doesn't have to be like, commercial size or anything.

I don't have specific recommendations but you should note natural gas and propane grills require different parts. The gas orifice needed for each is different. So when you go to buy a grill make sure it'll run on natural gas- either it's already set up for it or you get the conversion kit from the manufacturer. What kind of gas it'll take is usually clearly labelled by the retailer.

I'm also curious about this. Like can you still do stuff like "shake popcorn on the stove" or does it continually turn on and off as the pot loses contact? Does that scuff the gently caress out of the cooktop too?

Nephzinho posted:misen gift card Ended up getting the misen utility and paring knife. Don't love the utility knife, it just doesn't feel as good as my other utility - heavier, duller (out of the box at least, haven't tried to sharpen the misen yet). Build quality seems fine, the pinch neck is actually very comfortable. Like the paring knife much more because its just a comfortable paring knife and I can always use more of those. The utility knife is going to hang out in my "hand to a guest who wants to help" pile. Think at this point my dream knife is the northwest knife company ironwood handle with the misen neck pinch with my 7" gyuto knife.

I haven't had problems with scuffing either, though I fully dropped one and cracked the glass - it still works, but it's not nice to look at and I had to pull out some loose splinters.

BraveUlysses posted:anyone gone from gas range to induction? anything you miss about using gas? I’ve never had gas, just traditional resistive electric and induction. You can shift pans around and pick them up and toss stuff while you’re cooking, it’s fine, you just only get heat while the pan is in contact with the cooktop. I do have some scuffing on my cooktop but hard to tell if that’s because I slide pans on it, or if it’s from not being particularly careful about how I clean it - I don’t really give a gently caress how it looks so I just use normal kitchen cleaning equipment, not special glass stove cleaner or whatever.
