They said they wanted an alternative because it's expensive but they one you linked is even pricier, isn't it

e: OP OXO has a scale that's half the price of the first search result which seems to be about the same thing? Unless this is what you were talking about when you said it was too expensive in which case I dunno of any good kitchen scales in a similar price range

A long time ago I bought a wired oven thermometer and recently started using it. First two times I used it for steak and pork chops, worked beautifully. Today I was roasting a chicken, stuck it in the deepest part of breast, shoved it in and 20 seconds later it's beeping its head off. The temperature seems to fluctuate wildly between the internal temp of the chicken and what I can only assume is the ambient temperature of the oven (~400F). Am I messing this seemingly simple procedure up somehow or is it broken?

On the Anova Precision Oven, how easy is the interface? Unlike the knobs on my Smartoven, and the Anova looks to be all touchscreen or something?

I quickly gave up on using the touchscreen but the companion app is very responsive, which was a pleasant surprise given my previous experience with the anova SV app which was pretty spotty.

Speaking of ice cream, anyone got a good pecan ice cream recipe?

I just bought The Perfect Scoop so I'll roughly port over the pecan ice cream I found in it

Buttered Pecans:
25g butter
150g pecan halves
1/4 tsp coarse salt

1. Preheat oven to 350F
2. Melt butter in skillet, remove from heat
3. Toss pecans in butter to coat, then sprinkle with salt
4. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and toast for 10~12 minutes, stirring once midway
5. Remove and let cool

Pecan Ice Cream:
70g butter
135g dark brown sugar
1/2 tsp coarse salt
500ml heavy cream
180ml whole milk
6 large egg yolks
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp scotch whisky
1 recipe Buttered Pecans

1. Melt butter in a pan, stir in brown sugar and salt and mix to combine. Whisk in 250ml of the cream and all of the milk
2. Return pan to low heat until warmed
3. Pour remaining cream into a bowl and set a mesh strainer on top
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks, then slowly whisk in the butter/sugar/cream mixture until fully combined. Pour mixture back into the saucepan
5. Stir constantly over medium heat until it forms a custard that coats the spatula
6. Pour custard through the strainer into the cream bowl and stir to combine
7. Add vanilla and scotch
8. Chill mixture in fridge, then freeze
9. Make ice cream according to your machine's instructions, then mix in pecans at the last stage

Anyone noticed the anova oven consistently underbaking conventional recipes? I use the top+bottom heat setting, no steam and no fan for recipes I find elsewhere, and it always seems like things come out underdone in the center. To date I've made chocolate chip cookies, a coffee cake from SE, and a batch of beer bread. All underdone to raw in the center. Am I using the wrong heat source setting?

Cool, looking forward to the results!

In other creami research I found this reddit thread where the OP said you don't actually need to make a custard if you're using the creami, just whisk the egg yolks in and freeze: https://www.reddit.com/r/icecreamery/comments/sf0ysr/ninja_creami_experiment_7_is_a_custard_really/

I tried it the other day with a batch of matcha ice cream and it tastes delicious and the texture is great. In this specific case I probably should have made the custard anyway since matcha doesn't mix into cold liquid for poo poo, but it's nice to know for the future.

That sounds like something sus about the recipe or the way the machine works. Mine have never been icy. What's the cream/milk ratio?

For 1 pint:
1 tbsp cream cheese
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 cup whole milk

Whisk together the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract, then once smooth whisk in the liquids and pour into the container, freeze for 24 hours then give it a whizz.

Yeah, for all the new ice cream lathe owners out there: do pacojet recipes work without modification in the new Ninja thing?

I don't know about the pacojet, but I've been doing recipes from The Perfect Scoop and they've all turned out amazing, so it doesn't seem to be like "you must only do creami-approved recipes" or anything. The pacojet recipes I see on their website are skewed a lot more toward milk than the ones I'm seeing in the book, granted.

I still love mine. And the wife loves it too, and she largely hates all the kitchen poo poo I buy and doesn't use it. Sounds like it'd be great for you given your circumstances/requirements.

I think that first guy with undercooked stuff should probably be using the rear element rather than the top and bottom. All the Anova baking recipes I've seen including cookies say middle element. It seems like top and bottom would make sense for what hes doing, but it's literally never what they recommend for baking out of the ten recipes or so I've seen.

I use the bottom element for low temp stuff (proofing, largely) and the middle for practically everything else.

That was me and I was going by Anova's own user guide for adapting conventional recipes:



fwiw I've done a bunch of other stuff since and it's been more or less fine. I'll try the rear element for stuff from now on.

Has anyone ever tried those little rollers you stick on the bottom of kitchen appliances to slide them around? They look tempting but when I think about it, almost all of my heavier kitchen appliances are things that I don't think I'd actually want easily moved. Like who knows what'd happen if I put wheels on a vitamix, it'd probably destroy the house or something
