VelociBacon posted:Not judging but if you have company over do you put the salt pig on the table? I'd love a salt pig (I just use a jar). I just put a a glass coffee canister like thing with kosher salt on the table. I have a tiny mason jar with finishing salt that a lot of guests like, because most people use table salt or kosher salt (until I was looking up how to up my steak game). The table salt stays in the pig, or in the container.

Ah, some marketing got me. My wife was watching some cooking show with Gordon Ramesy in it and his kitchen was using HexClad. Apparently some company he endorses or owns. These expensive pans any good? Or are they just some sort of expensive social media pan?

Looking to replace my mother's countertop convection oven. She had one for a few years by Cuisinart and used it fairly often. Mostly for like broiling chicken and stuff like that. Any suggestions? Looking to spend between $150-$250.

I've fallen in love with the McMuffin again and I'm searching for an egg ring. I've never cooked anything with silicone directly on a frying pan, but I assume most silicone is food safe? I'm also worried about scratching my non-stick pan, which is why I'm trying to stay away from metal in it. Also I saw a 3" Lodge cast iron skillet... What is that for?

Thought I would circle back with the egg thing. I got the little 3" skillet. Works very well and is the first time I experienced non-stick cast iron (after using it 3-4 times). It is amazing, but only allows for a single serving at a tine. Will be good to use on a lazy Sunday or something of that sort. Doesn't allow for mushrooms and anything else you want in there. Not versatile at all, but very cool. I might start using my larger cast iron soon because of this experience. Got an egg tray to place into the oven and it's legit. Was able to put 1 egg and one large mushroom into it and bahm, perfect egg puck. Good for mass cooking and regular weekday use. I like them both!

This is "kinda" for kitchen stuff? But I meal prep into an Anchor 4-cup container. I've been unable to find a lunch bag for it that will hold 2 of them and maybe a little more that isn't obnoxiously large. Do you guys have suggestions?

It seems like a good price and it looks like an updated version of the 5200, which is America's Test Kitchen's favorite. I usually follow their suggestions and they've never steered me wrong. The bigger question for me is if I really need a blender. When I'm at Costco and walk by the frozen fruit section, I always think to myself how cool it would be to make a smoothie. Or when I'm watching recipes and they require a blender for a sauce. Or maybe soup? But I've never looked into soup in a blender. What other uses am I missing out on here?

OldSenileGuy posted:Side question - the one bit of cookware I use that's not compatible is my trusty Tramontina non-stick frying pan. Anyone have any suggestions for an induction-compatible alternative? Are the HexClad pans any good, or are they just expensive crap? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Rkw0adIAFc

Meaty Ore posted:It's going to depend on your use case. Are you going to use it primarily/solely for vegetables? Boneless meats? Do you need something that can hack through bones? Maybe something that can go through bone? I asked my wife to purchase some pork and she purchased a stupidly large sirloin with the bone in. I'm going to borrow someone's large knife for the time being, but I figured it would be good to have one and purchase large cuts of meat like this so I can chop them up. Is my line of thinking correct? Or am I going about this the wrong way?

KOTEX GOD OF BLOOD posted:I have this AcuRite one and it's excellent. It's worth it for the fridge monitoring too, but especially for the alarm. This is the kind of thing you don't think you need until the alarm goes off and your fridge is busted but you managed to save all of your food. Good tip about the alarm. I'm about to store a bunch of breast milk into it, and wanted to measure the temp in case it falls below a certain temp. But having an alarm alert me is a much better idea!

I was doing some research a while back on a knife sharpening kit for myself, but ultimately decided to just bring my knife to a local shop to maintain my knives. But, I was thinking about getting a kit for a Christmas gift this year, is the Work Sharp still kinda the go-to, for something that is about ~$175? Edit: For a manual one, not the ones that need a weird belt sander.

BBQ Dave posted:My mom bought us a "foodsaver" machine with a bunch of vacu-sealed bags and ... I'm at a loss as to what to use it for. I like to cook with minimal leftovers, and I don't have a lot of freezer space. does anyone have one of these and uses it regularly? I use it to freeze cheap meats to eat at a later time. I only use it in conjunction with a sous vide machine.

Anyone here hotpot a lot? I'm trying to decide between a gas set-up or an induction one. Or should I get one of these all in one units? Everyone I know has two gas set ups for different soup bases, but I just don't really want to worry about the gas.

Work Sharp Precision Adjust Elite has been working well for me. You basically need to dedicate roughly about 8 to 10 minutes per knife depending on how many passes you want to go through. It’s overall fairly easy to use but it requires a little bit of time to sit down set up the blade, sharpen cleanup, etc.It should be able to handle most things, but I think the much larger knives would be an issue. Because of this, I’ve been kind of looking into their version of the rolly sharpener. That seems like there’s not gonna be any set up and you can just roll it until it’s sharp.

Colonel Whitey posted:Anyone have opinions on expensive butcher block cutting boards, specifically Boardsmith? It's very pricey ($340 for the 16 x 22 x 2) but it made Serious Eats' top pick and seems to have impeccable reviews around the internet as far as I can tell. I've read some complaints about Boos blocks splitting but nothing like that about Boardsmith. I'm looking for something large, sturdy, and that will last a long long time. Worth the money or will something cheaper serve just as well? My friend’s Boo Block split after 3 months of using it. She emailed them, showed them a picture, no receipt and they sent her a new one. Told her to keep the busted one. She fixed the split one and has two of them. I would say the $150 Boo Block is worth it if they have that type of warranty.
