If you can swing it, I love my Breville The Compact and larger models can fit a whole chicken There’s a $270 one that has convection and a $400 one that has air frying

I will always recommend the Panasonic FlashXpress if your use cases support it. It is small but mighty. If you want a supplemental or replacement oven go with the Breville.

I would agree with this. I picked up the FlashXpress a few years back because it suited my tiny-kitchen needs at the time. It does what it does extremely well (quickly toasting and reheating 1-2 peoples' worth of food consistently) and does not require preheating. However... you cannot set it to cook for longer than 25 minutes, and you cannot fine-tune the temps outside of 35 degree F (20 deg C) steps. Minor inconvenience most of the time but still not great if you genuinely want full oven functionality in a tinier package. It's also $150, whereas it used to be easy to score one for under $120; Brevilles might be the better value at this point depending on your exact needs

Surprised the Breville didn’t explode in price with the recent “inflation,” i wonder if being Australian helped

I've got the Compact Convection and it's excellent. I only turn my oven on for pizza and large batches and I resent it every time I have to turn it on because it just sucks poo poo compared to the breville

I don't even like using metal on my stainless, I throw down a piece of paper towel in the bottom of my pots when I'm using the steamer basket.

If you never wash any of the dredge or flour off your fingers, you can’t get burned by the oil. Another way to stay safe: do not touch ANYTHING after your touched a raw egg, not even a faucet handle. You must sanitize using fry oil or steam.

Any good places to get a stainless lid for a small 6" skillet? Everything I see on amazon is glass or looks like poo poo.

Good squeeze bottles with caps that seal well?

SubG posted:Good squeeze bottles with caps that seal well? FIFO bottles, the ones that you see at Subway. Kind of amusing, I been using one as my dishsoap bottle for years, and then only recently have Dawn started doing the same for their product. I get to claim I was ahead of the curve. Only thing is that you do need to pick the appropriate nozzle to the thing you're dispensing. Thinner liquids will need a smaller/stiffer nozzle, thicker liquids will come out easier with a larger/looser nozzle. And make sure both caps are screwed on tightly! Obviously you'll never touch the dispensing one once it's on, but if the refiller top cap is not screwed on tightly, all the squeezing you do will just blow air out the top.

SubG posted:Yeah, that's the thing that I don't like about squeeze bottles with the diaphragm-type nozzle or whatever it's called...they tend to get gunked up if you're not just putting a liquid/smooth sauce through them. Like if you're using them for a dressing with HdP in it or w/e. Or do FIFO specifically make a version that's good with that kind of thing? Homemade thousand island with chopped pickle relish dispenses fine through the large blue nozzles. edit: It appears that they now make an even larger "Viscous Valve" for the regular bottles, and "Chunky Valve" for their "Portion Pal" and "Sauce Gun" products.

Along the same lines, what's the best squirt bottle for oil? Got some cheap squirt bottles from GFS foods a while back and they're terrible for oil. Fine for soy sauce.

I've been using these for oil / soy sauce, they're fine and very cheap. The soy sauce leaks a little but the oil is fine. https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/grilltider-squeeze-bottle-plastic-transparent-80444606/

I use an old soy sauce bottle and refill it from the costco sized half gallon soy sauce jugs. Old bottles and tubs make great re-usable containers. The rural area where I'm from uses cool whip tubs for like 90% of food transportation from house to house.

Some notes on restaurant squeeze bottles after having worked with them for years: -They aren't meant to be tightened super tight -- this will warp the seal and make them leak. -The size matters because the size dictates how big the tip can be: Smaller bottles are meant for small controlled drizzles and garnish flourishes, bigger ones for getting oil into a pan. They aren't one-size fits all. -The tip is meant to be trimmed to accommodate the viscosity of the liquid/how much you're trying to move/how fast you need to move it. If the tip of your bottle is too small to move the liquid at the speed you're trying to move it, it will cause the bottle to leak at the seal. Vinegars, oils, sauces, ect all have different thicknesses and you'll want to slowly trim back the tip until you reach a size where it no longer leaks when you squeeze it. The cheapo restaurant squeeze bottles work very well, most kitchens just use those. The OXO bottle is probably very good because oxo stuff generally is, but the bottles at the supply store are $1 each and have worked for me for years so
