Yes, it's expensive, yes, there are other ways to compost indoors (bokashi, but this is a simple way to do it. As for why they made the device at all, cutting back on food waste is trendy right now - why not capitalize on that?

How much power does that consume? Composting is meant to be an efficient and sustainable process. Powering up some energy-intensive machine to do it seems to achieve the opposite thing.

Yeah, it's a trash idea, and the real "advantage" is that it's a finished product and not a roll of the Kickstarter dice. It's not composting anything; it's just grinding it up and dumping an enormous amount of energy to dehydrate it. It makes a "soil amendment" that then rehydrates and composts there.

Empty Sandwich posted:dishwasher problem mostly solved. there was a cronenbergian horror in the (not disassemblable) weird top sprayer thing that if I'm understanding correctly is primarily designed to piss into the soap receptacle. I had to bring the the sink sprayer over to blast it out, so the pressure washer advice was in a sense not wrong. gracias. I deserve apologies from some doubtful losers worried about a lil high velocity h2o going down in the household but no worries. fukkk the haters.

The utensil rack can slot into the little arms at the front of the lower dish tray, or you can put it in the lower dish tray. I have the same dishwasher.

Coming back to the thread with an update on my propane flattop question. Transportation and storage concerns lead to me sizing down to a 22" Blackstone tabletop griddle with a lid. I used 2 nights to cook dinner for 40 on a float trip, and I'm in love. Fits a whole buffet pan for reheating, handles 12 frozen burger patties, and the rear grease catcher is perfect. In conclusion, for my favorite camp cooking tool

Since people are discovering dishwasher features, it’s worth noting that the upper rack is normally height adjustable. Depending on the size of your plates that can make the top rack a lot more useful.

For cooking utensils rather than just regular silverware, usually. I would love one for spatulas, tongs, big knives, ladles, big spoons, etc.

We normally reserve our top rack for spatulas and tongs, but after a party, man, that extra silverware drawer is super useful.

I picked up the Cuisinart ICE-21p1 ice cream machine after falling in love with the gelato in Italy and it has been pretty awesome so far. I’ve been messing with custard recipes for gelato at home and it has produced amazing results, so much nicer tasting than anything bought from a store. Today I made almond butter gelato and I can’t wait to dig in. It tends to come out a bit on the soft side fresh out of the machine, so I let it rest for a few hours, preferably overnight, in the freezer. Then it’s absolutely perfect. https://www.instagram.com/reel/ChssqqYFgQ3/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Planning a bbq for Labor Day weekend so I’ll be making two batches for my guests, though I do need recommendations for flavors!

I’ve been making black chocolate custard lately. You can get black cocoa from King Arthur’s website, I use a heaping tablespoon per pint. Err on the side of more sugar, it tends to need the extra sweetness since it’s so rich. It basically tastes like Oreo cookie, minus cream filling, in ice cream form. Best chocolate ice cream I’ve ever had.
