I don't know if this is helpful, but I looked up a how it's made video of bacon production to see how they do it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAqIynamBMY&t=220sMurgos posted:Maybe one of those paper cutters? You know the big green table looking things with the grid and giant lever action blade? It's not that far off from this.

Something like that which lowers the belly into a rectangular wooden jig so that the end is 1/8th" or 1/4" (or whatever) below the lower edge and fits snugly but not tight around it . Slide your knife along the bottom the jig letting gravity pull the slice down and then drop it another notch. If you had the rope on a spindle attached to a moderately sized wheel you would pretty quickly figure out how much of a turn is needed to get the exact width you want. Again, cold meat and a very sharp knife are going to be key.

Score! I found someone on Craigslist selling a Berkel 827 deli slicer. Retails for $1,400, he's selling for $650. And it can handle my 10-inch meat (phrasing!)

 My old Smoking Gun died because the batteries leaked and ruined the electronics. Got the new hotness. The Breville revision feels WAY more expensive. A lot more metal in the body, and a solid foot that keeps it standing up.  Come to think of it, 90.% of the time small electronics died on me it was because the batteries were no-name snd leaked. I think I will toss Chinese batteries from now on. Other than that it seems to perform the same Steve Yun fucked around with this message at 06:07 on Jul 1, 2021 |

God I want a Smoking Gun. I think the only reason I haven’t gotten one yet is because I keep forgetting about it. EDIT: re: Deli Slicer Chat — Bagheera already got something, but I’d still really love some recs on good new slicers, if BrianBoitano’s offer to ask those Patreon guys is still on the table. I. M.

Their shelf life is 20 years and when they are exhausted they don’t puke their guts out and corrode everything around them. I’ve had many thousands of dollars worth the circuitry ruined by old alkaline batteries and have found the lithium’s to be a godsend.

Pasteurization with a Vitamix blender? In this video from ATX hot sauce, the owner claims that a VItamix blender can get liquid hot enough to pasteurize. I just bought a refurb Vitamix 320 last week, and I've barely used it. I have some fermented hot sauce that's ready to be blended today. Do you think I can actually get it over 80C/175F? Do I just run the blender at max setting? Will running it that hot for ~2 minutes cause any problems with the blender? I'm told Vitamixes are tanks, so I assume it can handle it. I'm just checking with the crew here to see if that's true.

Vitamix themselves say you can make hot soup in it but IDK about if it'll get THAT hot. Use a thermometer?

I make ice cream bases in a vitamix all the time it'll get there on high speed. Just stick a probe thermometer in the lid and monitor it.

I just put the milk/egg yolks/sugar in the blender jar + any flavorings except vanilla extract(vanilla bean pulp ok). Start it bring it up to high speed until it gets to 160-165 F any then strain it into the cream that's sitting in an ice bath stir it all together add vanilla extract and salt it to taste. Let it all chill down and spin it in your ice cream maker.

I left my VItamix 320 at 9 (out of 10) speed for ~3 minutes, and the hot sauce blend only got up to about 110F. I was afraid to leave it on longer than that (I'm new to Vitamix and treating it with kids' gloves).

I only have a blendtec (I immediately regretted not spending the extra for a vitamix) so I don't know if it can really handle it anyway.

It will turn off if you somehow overheat it.

Does anyone have experience troubleshooting wine coolers? One of my Eurocave Premiers has completely stopped cooling. I have Wine Enthusiast sending a tech, but it won't be for another couple of days. The drat things is brand new and I can't wrap my head around how the compressor could be shot already.

If it’s brand new it probably has something wrong with the relay or electronics. We had the same issue with an Elkay water chiller that took them forever to finally replace.

I've got a vitamix 750 and the hot soup/sauce program takes 5 min, so, I'm going to say crank it up to 9-10 over 30 sec and leave it there for another 4.5 min and you're your own hot soup/sauce program. I've had two vitamix's over the course of 15 years and in my experience if you damage one, you must have been doing something super dumb. We gave the first one to friends after a decade because I wanted the 750 which fits in under our cabinets and it has the mayo making attachment and I didn't want to wait for it to die of natural causes; which it still hasn't.

Just moved and now I have a Whirlpool electric oven, in-wall instead of under stove. God drat it holds onto steam, I think I need to crack the door often to make things actually finish roasting. Is this typical to electric ovens, in-wall ovens, or just this model?
