Might as well crosspost from PYF, since this thread might have some experts on the subject. Does anyone have any recommendations on electric vertical smokers? Preferably bigguns, at least large enough to smoke a whole turkey, plus some small stuff. Or just the whole turkey. Also looking for electric grills. I think Weber makes some of the tabletop variety, but I'm wondering if they're any good. I. M. Gei fucked around with this message at 22:33 on Dec 20, 2015 |

Is that a "no" on the vertical smokers?

Chef De Cuisinart posted:Got a price range? These are pretty good, otherwise, you could build a terracotta smoker for ~60bux. No price range in particular; I'm not expecting it to be cheap. It just has to be electric. Otherwise my apartment won't let me use it. Yes, I've already checked and they do allow use of electric smokers. And I'll be using it outside on a balcony. Are any of the other Masterbuilts any good? Masterbuilt seems to be the only name that really comes up when looking at electric smokers. I. M.

Doom Rooster posted:There's lots of Masterbuilt chat in the actual BBQ thread. I've had the MB40 for like 4 years and love the hell out of it. Highly recommend. It's tall, but not super deep, so if you're looking to do Turkey, it won't fit a massive one. Two smaller should be fine though. There's a BBQ thread? Where? (EDIT: I think I found it.) Maybe I can ask there, too. Will your MB fit a turducken? I'd love to smoke one of those if I ever get my hands on one. Or even just a regular duck (where do I even go to find whole ducks?). I. M.

Doom Rooster posted:Every supermarket that I have ever been to has whole ducks. They aren't near the chickens though. They're usually frozen, right near the whole turkeys. They usually only have 3-5 of them, so if there is an empty spot next to the turkeys, there used to be ducks there, and somebody bought them all. It's hard to tell from the pics but according to the product dimensions, the 40" model might be about 5 inches deeper than the 30". Unless you're talking about a different model than the one I linked to.

The Peugeot pepper grinder came in the mail two days ago. It's handsome as gently caress and grinds boss pepper and now I want one for salt cuz it looks so handsome. (I got the Natural finish. Kinda sad now that I didn't get a Chocolate finish so I could buy a Natural-finish one for salt and still be able to tell them apart.) EDIT: Oh, this is the other Kitchen Equipment thread. Oh well, my point still stands. Peugeot makes sexy rear end pepper mills.

Highly recommend. gently caress, I want to make some waffles now. I might have to look that up on Amazon.

I think somebody posted a recipe for protein powder waffles in YLLS awhile back. I want to go look that up, because I'm supposed to be on a diet now. I'm already gonna be using a protein-enriched low-calorie milk and sugar stevia mix to make waffles, but a little extra protein can't hurt.

Teeter posted:Followup grinding question: What's the cheapest coffee grinder that's worthwhile? Looking for something that does a coarse grind for French press. If you're willing to spend a bit more, there's a dedicated Coffee Thread that will probably point you toward the Capresso Infinity like they did me. Although if it's a coarse grind that you're after, you could probably find something cheaper.

Question: What are the major differences between this KitchenAid Professional 600 Series 6-Quart Blue Steel stand mixer vs. this (apparently identical) one in Cobalt Blue? Other than the fact that the Cobalt Blue one is cheaper, comes in more colors, and is made of zinc instead of stainless steel? EDIT: It looks like the Cobalt Blue one's arms are raised a little bit higher, but in terms of performance, which one is likely to be better? Or are they both the same? I. M.

How much labor/hand-work can a good stand mixer remove from the process of making bread, if any? I'd like to at least be able to make my own bread, but I don't have a lot of counter-space for poo poo like kneading and pin-rolling and the like, and my roommate might freak out if I cover the counter with flour like some recipes call for. I'm kinda looking for excuses to buy that KitchenAid stand mixer next time I have the money.

SymmetryrtemmyS posted:Basically they knead the dough, nothing more. It does dramatically reduce the amount of effort necessary, but it's not like you can use a KitchenAid for a rolling pin. I mean my primary use for it would be general purpose so this works good for me. I just want it to be capable of making bread too.

Man I'm having a real hard time not buying that stand mixer. Even though I've never made bread before and I don't normally do stuff that requires a mixer. I guess I could make cookies or cake with it, but I shouldn't be eating that stuff right now. I'm pretty sure my dad would love a stand mixer in yellow. He makes bread and pastries all the time, and I'm pretty sure he'd like all of the attachments it has. Maybe I'll talk to mom about buying one for his next birthday.

I like to bake but I wouldn't bake nearly as much as I do without my KA. But unless you need it urgently, wait for a sale. It'll be close to $100 less. Yeah that's what I want to do.
