Is the OP still accurate in regards to Rice Cookers? I work 10 hour shifts at a hospital, so something like the Zojirushi keeping my rice warm and moist for me after a long day of patient care would be -heaven-.

Has anyone sprung for a pressure cooking capable model of zojirushi/cuckoo/similar? I've been rocking with a base model zoji and totally happy. But the pan needs replacing and that's got me thinking of just going for a wholesale upgrade. For reference I have an instantpot and my two attempts at (long grain) rice in it left me unimpressed with how poorly the grains maintained separation.

Those always remind me of the “autonomous cooking” startup that pitched me once. They just accepted that the bottom would burn sometimes, but since it didn’t get mixed in that was fine (?!).

Joyce Chen kitchen scissors are the best kitchen scissors ever and I’ve used the same pair for almost three years now. They also have a lifetime warranty, so you send in your dull scissors and they send you a new pair.

I was trying to find confirmation about that warranty (because I'd buy this in a heartbeat if that's the case) but i don't see anything on amazon - the only listed warranty there is a kinda crappy, generic 25 year "free from defects but does not cover wear and tear" one?

The chefs I’ve worked with claim the warranty is valid and the information for it comes in the box, but in my time I’ve never had one go dull on me. This is with daily use cutting fish, vegetables, boxes, tape, foil, you name it. Even without a warranty I still think they’re the best scissors on the market.

Steve Yun posted:I'm getting into fermentation, and I have dozens of mason jars That all being said, I usually ferment pickles and kimchi in larger containers. I've got two kinds of pickles going on the counter now, one in a traditional German-style fermentation crock with the fitted weights and all that, and another in a 6L cambro with an airlock lid (which I had to make) and weighted with a ziplock full of brine. Mason jars are good for fermenting peppers and other things were you're not working with more than like a litre of veg and brine at a time, but holy poo poo I'd go crazy if I had to keep up with my cucumber plants using mason jar-sized batches.

I've had mixed results with silicone lids, air sometimes leaks in somehow and I get mold. Maybe flimsy rings or maybe I didn't get the jar lid clean enough after pouring stuff in and there was debris or maybe some of the lids are bad. On the last couple batches I dipped my finger in olive oil and ran it around the perimeter of the jar hoping to get a better seal and didn't have any problems. The silicone actually bulged a little bit which it hadn't done before. I'll be doing longer ferments again soon and plan on buying water airlocks. If a week long ferment goes bad, big deal, but when a 6 month or more ferment suddenly goes that's frustrating.

Does anyone have any recommendations on a good filleting knife? For flounder, if that matters I don't fish, but sometimes I catch flounder while scuba diving.

If you want to spend and have something that’ll make a decent all-purpose knife as well: https://www.korin.com/HTO-VDSU-240 I used that to break down fish every day at the Japanese resto I worked at For something more home-oriented: Victorinox Swiss Army Cutlery Fibrox Pro Curved Boning Knife, Flexible Blade, 6-Inch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0019WQDOU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_LgHgDbD6AVNJC Though I’d also recommend something a little longer, 6” is pretty small and depending on the size of the fish could be trouble

It's been great for me. Pretty disposable at that price point too so you just buy a new one when you need it.

Thanks, good recs. Victorinox is slowly taking over my knife collection, I've been ridiculously happy with my fibrox chef's knife. Cheap, too! However, I think I want a longer, straight blade. This is the technique I'd like to replicate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKTt4BtGN3Q EDIT Maybe I'll get this one: https://www.amazon.com/Victorinox-Cutlery-Straight-Fishing-Flexible/dp/B0019WUGRK/
