He's using SA's file attachment option to avoid the imgur implosion probably, which is actually fine, but yeah hey Rationale, your phone may auto-rotate pics but whatever you're using to post them isn't doing that and they're all sideways which is a little bit annoying, although also legit props for not just posting endless photos of other people's donuts.

Honestly actually making some donuts, even if they don't look good, is the biggest step forward shown in a while. You learn more from failures than successes anyway, and with donuts I'm assuming you want to fail a lot of different ways to figure out what you actually have to get right and where there is some wiggle room.

Donuts are not something you have to figure out from first principles. Any adult who can read and follow directions should be able to turn out acceptable donuts. He’s literally using boxed cake mix.

Yeah I’m a couple checks out from getting a few more things that should enable scale production of filled brioche. 18 pounds should make a dozen dozen two ounce buns. Want to focus on speed running that going forward but if you cry for hole pics you’ll get em

Get your reps in now. The difference in speed and consistency after a month is night and day and you want to be doing as little of that while you’re open as possible. You can overestimate your labor by over 100% if you don’t know how long it’s going to take once you’re experienced.

Rationale posted:It was raining so I fried in a sea crate what's your setup for measuring and regulating your oil temp? i'm assuming that the "three ways" you reference means three different temp/time combos, but the color suggests you're way off on all of them. depending on how sensitive your burner is it may not be able to allow for enough fine tuning. a fryer setup with an electrical element for your testing is probably best to make sure you have temp reliably locked in. probably worth it to get a consumer grade fryer to test recipes before buying an entire commercial fryer. based on your in-progress photo, you're probably crowding your pan. remember that cast iron is great for heat retention, but sucks rear end for heat conduction. if the donuts are in contact with the pan hot and cold spots could be causing uneven cooking not a baker so can't really give much advice. take as extensive notes as possible, try to recognize commonalities between batches, try to keep changes to a minimum between batches so you can figure out what is doing what Rationale posted:Thinking about parking a coffee trailer in the lot all the drawbacks of a compact kitchen and none of the benefits of mobile food service

What if you excavate under the foundation of the donut shop and build a secret meth cooking lair like Breaking Bad? They would never catch you because it would be right under the cops nose (literally haha) the whole time. You can find the episodes where the Germans build the lair on YouTube probably, and just follow that. Also I hear that the only thing Ohioans love more than $5 donuts is meth.
