my moka pot is stainless, ~15 years old, and I was pleasantly surprised when I tried it on an induction cooktop and it worked remember back when people thought aluminum cookware might cause alzheimers? lmao

BrianBoitano posted:Yup! Aren't most moka pots aluminum, so not compatible anyhow? I would test mine, but I gave it away a while back after realizing that the Flair + French press covered all my bases. I got a cast iron heat spreader to use my moka pot on a crappy gas range--i guess you could use that with induction??

Like aluminum layers in a pan of course not but I always thought the aluminum mokapots were actually pretty bad for you in terms of aluminum intake.

One study showed it's about 4% of "tolerable weekly intake" for an average-size adult, even if you're drinking three liters of coffee a week, under the worst possible treatment of the pot.

Is this a good thread to ask about grills? I searched and couldn't find a better a place to ask. I am looking to buy a grill to do grilly things on. I haven't lived in a place that allowed propane or outdoor cooking in like 2 decades. Right now, I am looking at this grill here. I like it because it has a sear burner and comes with a built in smoking box. I would mainly use it for searing steaks and such after sous vide, burgers and/or chicken, and some light smoking (ribs, an hour or two smoke on something after a sous vide, etc). I do plan on getting a smoker next year, so that's not important, just nice to fill in until spring. I know cheap grills fall apart, don't start well, etc. I am just looking for something decent that I would use maybe once a week when weather is nice. I don't need to grill daily or for 30 people at a time. Any other recommendations, or at the very least an ominous warning about the one I linked?

My air fryer failed me today… got some Aldi frozen fried fish filets and I guess they were more oily than usual. Dripped into the tray and turned into big clouds of smoke. Didn’t know that was even a thing!

I’m not familiar with propane grills other than my Weber Q, but I would think that if you’re not bbqing for big parties the smaller 3 burner version of that might be better since it won’t require as much fuel to heat up I think it was goon Gravity who suggested dividing the BTU’s by square inch grilling area and comparing different grills that way to find the one with the most heat/area Also I don’t remember if we have a grilling thread but we have a smoking thread, might want to ask there https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3460953&pagenumber=2

RIP your air fryer. I recently got one (an air fry/convection/toaster combo) and I love it. It'll roast about 3-4 servings of veggies very well, in less time and less power than my big stove. I've been occasionally making smores in it too, it can roast the marshmallows pretty well. Not as good as the real thing but not bad for a minute of work.

Rectangular is bigger than round but assumes you’re going to only eat one fourth of it as a serving so round if you want to make the waffle your meal or rectangular if you want a smaller piece to be a part of your complete breakfast or if you have a family to feed Used to be Waring Pro was an easy recommendation but cuisinart bought their consumer waffle maker rights and reportedly the quality isn’t as good as it used to be If you want to take a chance on America’s Test Kitchen’s latest recommendation, there’s this new Presto https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000TYBWIG

Bought a Krups rectangular Belgium waffle maker 5 months ago. It makes 4 waffles at a time. Works great. Two waffles are enough for me, so the other two get re-heated the next morning. The "waffles are ready" alarm tone it makes sounds exactly like my smoke alarm. Just an observation. The reason I picked this one is because the waffle touching bits can be removed from the electrical iron parts and washed in the sink. Other waffle irons I've had in the past were difficult to clean because the plates could not be removed.

We have one with removable plates which stores standing vertically which is good but also comes with an extra set of griddle plates and it’s a bit silly since where do you store them?

It has mostly been good except that the colored plastic light covers melted some the very first time it was used and these little metal washers/discs seem to fall off it and I'm unsure where they are coming from. Still works though and makes a good waffle.

If, and only if, you also want a panini press, I recommend the Griddler with the waffle plates. There seem to be knock off plates for a bit cheaper too. Saves storage space over owning two separate ones, and it's good enough on its highest setting vs some of the flipper style ones I've used. It uses Teflon which can be a deal breaker for some.

Nice! Looks like they might have a new model line so check which model in case the plates aren't the same shape.

I can't be sure from a picture how deep the rust goes, but I have cleaned more than that apparent amount of rust from a griddle by hand. As long as you prevent it from going any further, you do not care about the rust on the bottom. e: See this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hr-7Qz1_iHQ

Recommend a large griddle, induction-compatible, 24 to 28 inches wide. In my house we make a lot of tortillas. We use a 12-inch stainless steel skillet, which only holds one tortilla at a time*. Sometime we make them with the stainless steel skillet on one burner and the cast iron on another. But the cooking time is a little different on each, so it's hard to get into the rhythm of cranking out the tortillas. We're looking at large griddles like this one from Made In. It's 17.5 inches wide. We could make tortillas 3 at a time. Could we go bigger? Our standard US-sized stove is 30 inches wide. A 24- or 28-inch wide griddle would cover two burners and let us crank out 5 or 6 tortillas at once. Do they make griddles that big? We have induction, so we'd need a cast iron, carbon steel, or stainless steel griddle. Preferably carbon or stainless, cuz I can't imagine how much a 2-foot wide slab of cast iron would weigh. *You could fit 2 5-inch tortillas in the skillet, and that works for warming/frying tortillas. But for making tortillas from masa, you need a little space for flipping.

It trying to be a jerk, but with induction, I think you’re going to have a bad time. Any part of the griddle that is not directly over the heating coils is not going to be even close to hot enough to cook tortillas.

I'm tempted to just buy 2 identical griddles and run them on two burners.

BrianBoitano posted:I had the same issue with the Duxtop - some pans whined. Nuwave gold worked great for me, and has finer controls to boot. I love mine! update: nuwave gold also worked well for me. It's not completely silent but it's close, and (to my ear) the noise is in the "annoying" range and not the "drive young people to madness" range. It has some weird quirks and it's not as fully featured but I like it for the price. The temperature control is fairly accurate too, I used it with a small japanese deep fryer pot to make tonkatsu and it held the temperature setpoints. I do wish it had a more configurable PID controller for ramping the power up/down to hit a temperature setpoint quicker and recover faster after changes, but its still great for the price.

Continuing on the topic of my taco addiction... Would it be insane to purchase taco holders? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FBNFPHG https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Z38S86S I can't think of any reason to get stainless steel unless I planned to bake/broil. Can anyone think of a reason to do that with tacos? Or can anyone Alton Brown up some additional uses for these unitaskers?
