BrianBoitano posted:Any new thoughts on the Anova Precision Oven? I still love mine. And the wife loves it too, and she largely hates all the kitchen poo poo I buy and doesn't use it. Sounds like it'd be great for you given your circumstances/requirements. I think that first guy with undercooked stuff should probably be using the rear element rather than the top and bottom. All the Anova baking recipes I've seen including cookies say middle element. It seems like top and bottom would make sense for what hes doing, but it's literally never what they recommend for baking out of the ten recipes or so I've seen. I use the bottom element for low temp stuff (proofing, largely) and the middle for practically everything else.

Thinking about buying a sous vide for Prime Day but have no idea what to buy. I don't trust Amazon reviews. Thinking about this one: https://www.amazon.com/Anova-Culinary-Precision-Bluetooth-Included/dp/B07C7PW3PC?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1&psc=1 Also, maybe a silly question, but do I need to vacuum seal the bags?

You can use ziplock bags for most applications if you don’t have a vacuum sealer. However, they don’t seal as well or to as high of a temperature so if you’re doing longer cooks (pulled pork/short ribs 12+ hours) or hotter cooks (vegetables to 180 degrees F), you might want a foodsaver.

That was me and I was going by Anova's own user guide for adapting conventional recipes:  fwiw I've done a bunch of other stuff since and it's been more or less fine. I'll try the rear element for stuff from now on.

Anybody have a good wooden salt box they'd recommend? Looking to transition from shakers and the like to just using my hands to control the salt better.

Amazon and Sur la Table both have a ton of options. I wound up going with a ceramic salt pig that's identical to this one but for ~$12? I think. My reasoning was that I didn't want a lid on it, that's one thing to manipulate and get dirty, plus if I ever did get it dirty I'd rather just run it through a dishwasher and not worry about it. Mine is white rather than blue, however.

The microwave died this morning and my gf thinks we should replace it and our old toaster oven with this Cuisinart 3-in-1 microwave/oven/air fryer. I think I’m fine with that, just wondering if any goons have experience with or opinions on this model or similar machines?

You can always just use a small bowl or ramekin, but I suppose that's not as fun.

I just use one of those OXO pop top containers for salt (and panko, flour, sugar, brown sugar, dashi granules, pasta, korean red pepper flake, and instant yeast). it was part of a bundle and they all stack on each other up on a window sill above my sink.

I don't work on a line anymore, so food can't be seasoned by my tears after chef yells at me. Saline seems like a good way to get that back.

That's actually accurate as "normal saline" as used in medicine is 0.9% salt. That 20% salt on the dropper in OP's photo reflects the dehydration and sodium heavy diet present in all kitchen staff. A true adherence to form.

The dehydration part of things is only half the story, you gotta deal with the acetaldehyde or some poo poo as well which I think these days is what they think most of the hangover symptoms are from. Anyways. I need a recommendation for a perfect set of measuring cups. Something stainless I guess. The plastic ones I buy just suck, the stainless ones I buy feel cheap or they have print on them instead of engraved etc. e: just remembered I should specify that yes I know you should use weight not volume when able and no I don't buy them every week and throw them into the ocean or anything VelociBacon fucked around with this message at 01:13 on Jul 20, 2022 |

Semi related but when I started cooking a lot of Chinese food I realized having 2 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons wasn't really enough unless I felt like doing washing mid prep so I bought extras of this brand and they're super sturdy you could club a small dog to death with one. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071DR8JZP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I don't know if this affects their round measuring spoons or if they've fixed the problem in general, but for a while there was an RSVP Endurance measuring spoon that was supposed to be a 1 Tbsp measure that was actually just over 2 tsp (in other words, off by about a third). That was one of their rectangular spice measuring spoons and not a round spoon like that one, but I've been wary of RSVP Endurance measuring gear ever since.

SubG posted:Have you tested them for accuracy and if so, how'd they do? I never tested them when I got them  I have done things like use the quarter cup to fill the one cup and it lined up. I can measure with water and weigh in grams in a few days but I'm not at home currently

Mecca-Benghazi posted:I never tested them when I got them A few years back I checked the ones I had been using for years, which were some random no-name brand that I'd picked up from a random big box store many years earlier. They were all off by like 5-10% each. I'm currently using a set made by Norpro, but it doesn't appear to be the current version. They're bang-on accurate if you go by the English units, but have errors due to rounding in the metric measurements. So, for example, the 1 cup measuring cup says "1 cup/240 ml" and if you put it on a scale and add water it holds 236 g of water, which is 236 ml, which is the actual metric equivalent of 1 cup.
