Omega has a bunch of vertical masticating juicers. Anyone know how they compare to the horizontal dildo machines? Edit: YouTuber seems to think it’s annoying as hell https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=j2npqDAPajM&pp=ygUmb21lZ2EgdmVydGljYWwgc2xvdyBtYXN0aWNhdGluZyBqdWljZXI%3D Steve Yun fucked around with this message at 03:51 on Apr 22, 2024 |

I got one of the baking steels from the original GWS buy (see SA-Mart thread and GWS group buy). This steel should be 3/8" and just A36. I've been using it more after several moves and not having a gas range and there's parts of it peeling. What do I need to do to strip and refinish this thing?    Is this normal stripping of my initial layer or something more serious? I'm sure I did whatever the GWS recommendation was when I got it. Do I need to leave it in there on a self-cleaning cycle to clean this off? It looks like I can refinish like this: Steve Yun posted:Take a paper towel and some vegetable oil. Rub a little oil all over the thing. edit: this isn't stainless after thinking about it so edited to reflect that. Hed fucked around with this message at 22:54 on Apr 22, 2024 |

If it’s peeling, that probably means you coated it too thick when you did the initial seasoning. Make sure to wipe off as much as you can after coating it each time you put on a layer

Do you think I should degrease/barkeepers/use a drill with brush to get it back to base?

Hed posted:Do you think I should degrease/barkeepers/use a drill with brush to get it back to base? you can but for some minor flaking around the edge I wouldn't bother. Just use a scouring pad and scrub off the areas that are actually peeling. anything that survives a quick pass with sup and a scotch pad will get stabilized when you do another layer. starting from zero is for pans or steels that are really far gone with carbon buildup or actual rust

What is a good but not terribly expensive electric pepper mill? Preferably one with one handed operation.

Thermapen One review: Eh It says it takes one second to get a temp, but it’s more like 3-4 seconds. But I guess that’s better than previous Thermapens that claimed to take 3 seconds and actually took 6-7 seconds

Are they worth the money for what you get? Sure, they are nearly indestructible. So if you own an ice cream shop, yes Zeroll are pretty much the only thing to get. For home use, yes they will last forever, but do they make the kind of scoops you like? Some people prefer a disher-style scoop, or a spade. The one nice thing about Zeroll is that they come in a ton of sizes.

Aramoro posted:I broke my ice cream scoop. Are the Zeroll scoops worth it? Honestly, yeah. I hate handwashing, but it’s never going to break like any of the mechanical ones I’ve ever had. Tried two different OXO models before I broke down and got a zeroll, and I’ll probably never go back.

Get the polished kind, mine are a hard anodize, and after three years of constant use, the surface is starting to flake off. EDIT: I guess they call the anodize finish Zerolon? Maybe it's not an anodize process. Anyway, mine are size brown.

Brown size seems big, I usually make quite small batches of ice cream. Might go mid size maybe

I have gold (2 oz.) and while it performs absolutely flawlessly and I'll never need another ice cream scoop, I honestly wish the scoops were just a tiiiiiiiiny bit larger. Go Green.

I have the silver size zeroll and it seems like 1 scoop is a nice snack size. I usually scoop into short squatty 7oz glass 'cups' that are fairly bowl-like (bormioli rocco - bodega)

bob dobbs is dead posted:you think peeps can actually get 4 sigfigs of scooping accuracy? Duh, of course not. Biggest variables are staff training (making that perfect Zeroll curl takes some practice), ice cream density (my ice cream is so rich that we get a five oz scoop out of the 4 oz scoop), and ice cream hardness/temp. The last one isn't a problem at home (one flavor, you can take it out and let it sit as long as you need to), but balancing 32 flavors in 2 cases is a bitch, as the freezing point varies by flavor. It varies based on sugar content, fat content, and the inclusions. One case is set 2 degrees higher than the other, so we have warmer flavors and cooler flavors, and then you have warmer and cooler locations in the cases... in the end only about 2/3s are at the right temp, and about 1/3 are always a little too hard or too soft.

For home use I don't really see why you would use a super heavy duty ice cream scoop rather than leaving the ice cream out to soften slightly or microwaving it for 5 seconds

I also broke an icecream scoop before going to the zeroll. It was a cheap metal scoop with a plastic handle, but the metal only went about 1 inch into the plastic handle. Eventually it just busted scooping a particularly frozen icecream and it was unrepairable. If they just designed it so the metal went all the way through the plastic handle, I bet it could have lasted forever. So instead buying another piece of crap, I got the one piece casted zeroll that will not fail in that way.

Squashy Nipples posted:The dude who started this mess said he wore out a regular one. Is there a better argument for owning commercial quality than that? Yeah, it took a few years but my previous one broke. The Zeroll one is expensive but if I assume the Zeroll one will last 10 years and amortise the cost over that period then it, and all ice cream scoops, are actually cheap so you might as well buy the best one.

Gear for dehydrating herbs? My herb garden is exploding, and I can't use it all. I have rosemary, sage, 2 types of basil, oregano, and mint. I want to dry them and store them in my spice rack. I'd also like to grow and dry some chile peppers (poblano-->ancho, jalapeno-->chipotle, etc.) Can you recommend a small (toasted oven sized?) home dehydrator?

I'm not gonna stop you from buying a dehydrator, but herbs are super easy to dehydrate the traditional way - tie them in a bunch and hang it up. It even looks and smells nice. It's not like drying fruit where you gotta go fast or they'll go gross before they dry out.

I'd rate Cosori a little higher than random Amazon brands, their stuff seems to be reasonably well regarded. I had a Cosori air fryer and I thought it was better thought-out in terms of design than most of the name brands it was up against at the time.
