MrYenko posted:I have this one. It turns five in November, batteries have been changed once. I had one of those. Mine emitted a high-pitched squeal that was super annoying. I replaced it with this, which I picked mostly because it was cheap and had a lot of mostly positive reviews. It has a couple of seconds of lag before it updates the weight, and I don't think it is as accurate as the ozeri.

IMO get the cheapest model that has a speed dial instead of just on/off/high. I don't think costco sells refurbs but you can usually get them direct from vitamix. That's what I did.

I've been through two jars and nothing helps. I love my vitamix but it is definitely not the solution to your "loud as hell" problems

It also replaces a slow cooker and a rice maker, if you don't use the pressure cooker functionality much. That said, I don't see much reason to get the ultra over the cheaper models

I like silicone oven mitts a lot better than cloth because you won't get scalded if you somehow manage to get them wet while you're holding a hot pan

Helith posted:I've just found some pantry moths in my box of nuts that I bought to keep them out. Yeah, the little bastards can squeeze in around the silicone gasket. Years ago I managed (over a protracted period of time) to starve out meal moths by putting everything in plastic containers with screw-on lids that look a lot like this. FYI my moths were a freebie that came with something from the bulk bins at Whole Foods

Yeah, clamp-top containers with a soft gasket didn't work for me, but screw-top plastic jars did (along with the other stuff mentioned - clean throughly, put nuts in the freezer, etc).

Yeah, I think vitamix and blendtec are held in equally high regard. I have a vitamix and love it. Get anything other than the bottom-end one that doesn't have variable speed. You can find good deals on vitamix's refurb site

Verisimilidude posted:any recs on a good, affordable Chinese-style cleaver/chef knife? I picked up a really nice knife for a friend but he wants something else for more heavy-duty every day use, specifically a cleaver, and something cheap enough/sturdy enough that he can beat it up a bit I have a Deng TA-01 which I think was also recommended in the knife thread a while back, and looks really similar to the carbon steel SBZ above, but with a western-style handle. Be aware that these are basically a drop-in replacement for a chef's knife and aren't heavy enough to hack through bones

I had the handle crack on one of the plastic ones.

If you pick through the wall of nonstick skillets at a tj maxx you can find lots that are induction ready. That’s where I got my current one - it’s a t-fal with a metal handle that also claims to be oven safe to something like 500F. It was ~$20 like all the others

I bought this one a while back and it worked fine. Not as nice as the $$$ zojurushi it replaced or as versatile as the instant pot that replaced it but it is cheap and does what it says. Instant pots also have a stainless inner pan.

I borrowed an induction burner when my stove was busted for a week and it worked surprisingly well. My biggest annoyance was that my moka pot was too small for the induction element to detect which led to hilarity when I tried to bring the fucker to a boil - I think I ended up setting it in a cast iron skillet, with a bit of water in it to keep it from triggering the overheat safety shutoff. In hindsight I should've probably just given up

VelociBacon posted:Sounds like you have a stainless steel moka pot, I stopped using my aluminum one after reading about how much aluminum you actually ingest (I'm always a skeptic but it's actually a worrisome amount), I've heard the SS ones don't work as well, is that true? Is it basically the same? I've only ever owned this steel one. I get better coffee out of it than my friends with aluminum moka pots, though that is probably down to me being much more fussy about beans and grind settings
