Yeah costco always has them for like 375 here.

I didn't see the price on the vitamix, but as of an hour ago my CostCo had:
Kitchenaide vitamix knockoff for $94
Full sized 6-qt Kitchenaide Stand Mixer $280
large granite mortar and pestle set for $15

The M&P was beautiful, styled a bit like a molcaheta (spelling?). If I didn't already have a large marble mortar and pestle I would have bought it in a heartbeat.

Thanks for the recommendations on costco. This $199.00 one that tied the Vitamix looks like it has potential, I think I might just grab this one instead. Its hard for me to justify what the hell would make a blender worth $500.00

I have chicken breasts at home. I'm making salsa because dammit I feel like making salsa. How can I combine these in a way that really highlights how awesome it is to have fresh salsa (so no "bake the chicken with the salsa")?

Just cook the chicken simply. Maybe with a bit of lemon and a hint of chilli, or something like a light honey glaze would also be nice as that would offset the super fresh taste of the salsa (assuming your salsa is anything like mine!)

Meh, to a certain extent, you get what you pay for. But it does depend on what you want to do with it... for everyday blending, pretty much anything will work. But you can definitely do stuff with a Vitamix that the imitators can't really handle, like making flour.

My GF's Vitamix is 14 years old. She uses it a lot, and the only thing she had to replace was the rubber gasket/seal, which the company sent to her for free.

I have the Breville and it's a great blender but the Vitamix clearly has a stronger motor.

Yes, those. Smooth surface instead of rough, though.

Speaking of Mexican food, I bought a bag of fresh tamales at CostCo for $15, and the quality is shockingly good, almost as good as what I can make. Very fresh, and neatly formed/wrapped. They must have an army of old ladies making these.

Do you live in the west? Out here in the DC metro the local CCs had the tamales I think you're talking about for one week last year, and the "ready made" giant tortillas that you just cook on a skillet. I didn't get to try the tortillas (they were gone when I went back) but I've never seen either since. A++ would buy again

edit: I say as my tortilla dough ball is hydrating upstairs.

I'd do some kind of stir-fry with bell peppers and onions and other poo poo and then make fajitas.

Did chicken, onion, and red bell pepper fajitas seasoned with garlic and cumin , served with homemade salsa, radishes, olives.

On another note I have a gigantic amount of vegetables that I need to work through, what's a good use for a ton of radishes? Besides straight up eating them raw. They also have the greens attached if there's anything worthy.

Does anybody know how long I should plan to keep a chuck roast in the crock pot to convert the collagen to gelatin? Core temp is 135F after three hours on the "high" setting, and the Internet tells me it needs to get up to 160F, but I don't know how long it has to stay at that temperature. If it needs to be in there overnight, can I switch the crock pot to "low" now that the core of the roast is out of the danger zone, or will that inhibit the transition I want by having a presumably lower equilibrium temperature?

I haven't used this thing a ton, and I don't have much intuition about times yet.

Edit: Core temp up to 190F so I switched it to "low."

make's u think

I want to try making a deep dish pizza. However, I only have the following that I could think of cooking it in:

8" pie tin
10" cast iron
12" cast iron
springform pan

Which would be best? I've tried the serious eats pan pizza and i'm looking for something different, something more like Chicago deep dish.

If anyone can point me in the direction of a recipe to go along with the advice, it'd be much appreciated!

All deep dish pizzas should be made in a cast iron dutch oven. It should turn out to be a delicious cheese stew pizza crust bowl.

Would using pasteurized eggs affect tiramisu over regular eggs? I'm paranoid about someone getting sick and read that pasteurized eggs would avoid that risk, however small it may be.

Does your tiramisu recipe call for raw eggs?

Edit: or rather, does the finished product have raw eggs?

I *think* that salmonella is on the outside of the egg. I don't have a source to site for this, but it has made me way less worried about using eggs. Just wash your hands after handling eggs. I make homemade mayo and that is raw yolk, oil, and acid whipped up so it's not like anything is done to kill salmonella.

I'm reading that salmonella can be inside an uncracked egg. The outer contamination is easier to prevent, but apparently it can be infected if a hen has it then her infected ovaries contaminate it during formation.

The average age of the people who will be eating my tiramisu is probably in the 70s, so don't think they'd fair as well as you would with salmonella :v:

Also that statement started off pretty bad rear end, but the mayo part kills it.

What part of the tiramisu is it going in? If it's just mixed into it it'll probably be fine to use pasteurized eggs. If you're supposed to whip them, I've read pasteurized eggs don't whip as well, so that may be more problematic.

I couldn't imagine ever being too scared to eat raw cookie dough. Jesus Christ I'd rather die than not do it.

Of course, for breakfast sometimes I'll toss a raw egg into the blender with whatever else fruit/vegetable smoothie I'm making.

If I can eat raw meat, I can eat a raw egg. :colbert:

I use pasteurized eggs sometimes and haven't run into any problems substituting them. They can be a little more difficult to separate, and if I'm going to whip them I add a little cream of tartar, but otherwise they are indistinguishable. :)

I think these days most tiramisu is made with a tempered custard or a sabayon.
