I'm accidentally a suicide bomber!

Why not just a normal Coleman stove or a Weber Q series for an actual BBQ? If you don't need the BTU those wok burners put out I don't know if it's worthwhile.

My use case is a little weird and I'm trying to cost-effectively address a few needs. Basically, I used to grill a good deal, but I stopped eating meat other than on rare occasions a few years ago, so my main need for a grill now is generally searing veggies. At the same time, I regularly go on dirtbag car camping trips with friends (e.g., go surfing/skiing for the weekend and sleep in or around our cars, arrive the night before at trailhead for a backpacking trip, etc.), where it would be nice to have a grill/griddle for hotdogs, veggies, etc. Also, propane is nice from a travel/time perspective, personally, and thought it might be nice to have the outdoor wok burner for stir-fries or other high-smoke activities when at home, so could kill two birds with one stone.

A buddy of mine who I camp with regularly has a coleman double-eye propane camp stove, which is nice in the wind, but it's quite cramped when trying to actually use and the heat does leave something to be desired for searing veggies.

I looked at the Q series, but it's ~$250, and then I have to worry about cleaning it out before putting it back in the car (which I might be sleeping in if the weather turns poor); cleaning/storing the cast iron would be much quicker/easier imo.

I looked at the Weber Go Anywhere Propane, but reviews are middling and, again, seems like it would be some work to clean out before being able to throw in the back of the car and head to next spot.

Haven't committed to anything; just trying to see if my cheapskate idea would be viable

The best plastic wrap is a cheap one, stretch-tite



This is also my personal favorite. The glad press-n-seal is also good for certain situations, but stretch-tite is my workhorse

For non-dipping olive oil eg cooking, salad dressing) , I like the Trader Joe’s 100% kalamata olive oil that comes in a tall rectangular bottle, but it’s been in and out of stock since the start of the pandemic so ymmv

Kuhn Rikon makes one that I find the most enjoyable to use. It is however made of cheap plastic and the blade is not stainless steel, so it rusts if you leave it wet. The extremely sharp blade makes up for that though. And its 5eur here. There are probably cheaper sources than Amazon in the US.

I also use the and they are great but delicate and prone to rust if not wiped and put away immediately after use.

Anyone got recs for a small strainer, like drinking cup size to sift matcha through? Prefer the mesh to be as fine as possible (I can't seem to find specs on this on product pages?).

Try Finum brewing cups for super fine stuff like matcha

Different sizes/colors might be cheaper

I feel like we just had kitchen scale chat a few pages ago but I can’t seem to find it.

I’m getting more into baking and my old scale is a little small for the largest of my mixing bowls and getting a little long in the tooth to boot. Top recs?

IP white rice sucks, but it ain’t too bad at making brown rice (and is a pretty good effort/timesaver); 15 mins on high, then let release steam naturally. Nevertheless, I would imagine a dedicated rice cooker would nonetheless be better. IP is a jack of all trades (master of none, but better than a master of one).

Also, there was a crazy great deal on Vitamix 510 last night; $149 new from woot, fulfilled by Amazon. Any particularly good recipes people would recommend for a blender noob?

Even if you only usually cook for yourself, at least 8 cup food processor imo

E. I’d say 14 cup is really what you should save up for tho; buy once cry once

I have some similar “nonstick” cooling racks that I occasionally use when broiling veggies. I’ve not had any issues with flaking, etc, but I’ve definitely accepted the fact that I’m getting cancer from something in this world, so I don’t know what I’m really saying here
