Convection ovens are bad because uhhhh fat people *fart*
Sorry but a convection oven that costs 3x as much due to the label, "oil-less fryer" is faddy bullshit and is bad. If you fry food properly you're not gaining many calories anyway and a lot of people who turn to such lovely products do not account for that and will eat more.

/e- Don't know what a good dedicated fryer is, but don't skimp on it too much. The cheap ones do not recover the tempurature fast and take a while to heat up. I like a wok or dutch oven + burner with a candy thermometer.

They very greatly in quality. For a turkey roast, maybe it doesn't matter.

I haven't looked past Amazon, but are any of the high end Rice cookers getting caught up in this fall/Black Friday/cyber business?
The Zojirushi 1L is about 85 dollars from the Amazon warehouse today.

It smooths out fast and if you season with garlic/rice, really fast. I'd grab whichever one feels better to pound.

The first one will take 45 to an hour to cook the rice regardless of how much water/rice there is. It adjusts the temperature and the vents to cook it perfectly. It no poo poo produces 'buttery' rice that I still cannot fathom. You can choose brown rice or other options which will change how it takes that hour to cook, whether keeping the rice warm in the beginning to germinate the rice before cooking (I think this is only available in the induction models, but it's an illustration of fuzzy) or doing a portage.

The second is their conventional rice cooker, so it'll just cook the rice until the water is absorbed/boiled and it reads the plate's temp as hotter than boiling. Might be for white rice only but I'm not sure.

You can just get a HP or higher watt KA if you're worried about bread doughs in a home setting.

I have a big old island that I want to keep an end grain cutting board on and also an unrelated meat grinder (can be KA attachment but I recall those get hot fast.) For the cutting board I wouldn't mind supporting some dude rather than a factory.

I ended up buying a stovetop recently, the Swiss one in the OP, after having electric for years. Stovetops can get to 15 psi (Swiss to 17.49 before the safety triggers, but marker at 15) as their higher pressure while the electrics are restricted to 12 or so. The electrics are also pretty slow to get to pressure too, about 30-40 minutes while the stovetop depends on your range. I also like the stainless for induction and not having to baby it opposed to the non stick in the electric. Conversely my coworkers swears by his electric and thinks it's the easiest and best thing. Hit a button and come back when it beeps.

Its worth having one regardless of what you pick for stocks alone imo.

Using two hands to guide the pasta is quite nice with the KA attachment opposed to a crank.

I see no decimals on that page and you should just use the Japanese cup. I honestly have been doing long grain white using the line with amazing results so you won't get a bad batch so mess around.

Does it radiate a ton of heat down? If not that sounds perfect. It'll be placed on wood.

What about if the felt gasket fails, which I've heard is common?

Those fail due to user error. It's easy to replace with a tape if youre not lazy

Like this is the description

With your company pot luck around the corner, you've been busy scratching your head, wondering how you’re going to make a dish large enough to serve so many employees. After going through your recipe book numerous times, you keep stopping on the creamy potato soup. It's always been your personal favorite, especially since everyone who has tried it has never turned away.

Invest in this 80 quart Stainless Steel Stock Pot with Cover (SP-80) from Pinch and easily make large batches of your favorite soups, chilis, and more! This durable pot has been designed to withstand high volume use and you’ll be the center of attention at this year’s pot luck.

This stock pot is perfect for pot lucks:
20 gallon capacity (80 quarts) and is 16” in height and 20” in diameter
3-ply bottom consists of two layers of stainless steel surrounding a 5mm aluminum core
Excellent heat distribution that can be used on induction ranges
1.2mm/18 gauge 18/8 stainless steel superior strength and durability

The first 40, while expensive, is likely very good at what it does, which is not feed a bunch of employees.

not being snarky, it's a very innocent mistake which I'm sure will be more memorable than the 40.

After firing up the grill to cook dinner the other day, I figured I could take advantage of it and use it to season a cast iron skillet and a griddle. I rubbed vegetable shortening on them and put them inside the covered BBQ, upside down, for an hour at 400F. After an hour, I took them out, applied more shortening and in for an hour more. Then left to cool down.

I had read about expecting a lot of smoke, but did not see any. They both came out a little sticky, the griddle considerable stickier. Is that expected? Did I do something wrong?

too thick of oil if it's sticky. Get that sucker super hot then start again.
