My dog's stainless food and water bowls sound like exactly what you're looking for. Probably more expensive than restaurant supply, though.

I know we already had instant pot chat on this page, but I'm trying to decide if I should get a traditional stovetop pressure cooker (a bit wary because my stove's BTU output is miserable) or an instant pot (wary that it can't pressurize as high as a traditional pressure cooker). Please help goons. Assume I'm spending ~$100.

bartlebee posted:If I were to buy a Baking Steel TM, what's going to be the practical difference between buying the rectangle one versus the circular one? Maybe slightly more heat transfer at the corners of the steel than the sides. Otherwise, if the thickness and diameter of the circle are the same as the thickness and the height of the square one, there's no difference but weight.

the littlest prince posted:I couldn't manage to get the mix through the tip but I don't think it was the bag's fault. The mix was really thick. Instead I just made little finger sized strips, and they came out pretty well I think. Not as light as I'm used to, but I think it came out roughly the way it was supposed to. From what I understand, piping takes a lot of practice, my dude. Don't feel bad. You can try spraying the inside of the bag with Pam before putting the batter in, which might help it slide out a bit more easily.

I just oil my cast iron up and throw it into the oven while it cools after cooking dinner. It helps maintain the season, or so I tell myself. I'm pretty tempted to try to cut one up and see what a good season looks like in cross-section, to be honest.

zenguitarman posted:Sorry if I missed Grill Chat and maybe someone can redirect me towards it, but we were just gifted a small O-Grill and while it's nice for camping, I'd like to buy a larger grill for the home, but ideally under $400... is this doable? Also, I'm not very handy, is it a prerequisite to be able to fix your own grill if something in it breaks? There's a BBQ thread, they might have better advice than here: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3460953 That said, first decide if you want gas or charcoal. Then look for a grill with thick steel walls and a large enough cooking surface. You can find a decent grill for under $400 I'm almost positive. Mine was ~$150 on Amazon and it's perfectly serviceable, operates as a smoker, too.

Steve Yun posted:Sheeeit. I haven't done the side by side taste test myself yet but according to Dave Arnold closed pressure cookers make better tasting stock than open pressure cookers. And I thought I got a steal on my 7qt Kuhn Rikon for $165. I honestly miss being able to properly sauté in the instant pot compared to a stovetop pressure kit, but it does do a reasonable facsimile of a real sauté. You just have to allow more time to reheat before adding more ingredients.

bongwizzard posted:Intreating. Mine makes no-soak beans acceptably well, but not near as good as an overnight soak then slow cook on the stove. Has anyone done dry beans in their instant pot ? Yeah, I'll chuck dry black beans into a pot with some chicken thighs, a bit of stock, and flavoring poo poo to make quinoa bowl filling for lunches. I've never eaten beans very often but they come out tasting just fine to me.

Since apparently 18 months is longer than I should expect the heating element in an electric kettle to last, anybody got any recommendations? Must hold water at temp for at least an hour, have customizable temperature settings, over 1.5 L. Must not be Bona Vita brand, who hosed me and I can't recommend.

the littlest prince posted:The writing on my cheapo plastic deep fryer is wiping off. This includes the temperature scale, so if it eventually goes away entirely I will eventually forget where to set the slider. Anyone know if there's a type of marker I can use to replace the previous markings that will avoid this? sharpie makes a super-permanent variant that holds up against even acetone. It won't last forever and will wear off eventually, but you have a sharpie and can re-apply as needed.

Stick a powerful magnet adjacent to the ends of the double burner band. Tape a toothpick to the knob, sticking out past the outer diameter of the knob. Now you have a machine guard in place that you have to consciously disengage to use the double burner. Plus the knob would be asymmetric so you'd know which end is the business end.

Just go to your local goodwill and find something vaguely bowl-shaped. I use small ramekins if I need to have a separate quantity from my main salt bowl.

wormil posted:10 or 12 inch cimeter knife for home use? I feel like 10" is probably big enough but they are about the same price. 12" might be annoying to store. I have a 12 inch chef’s knife and it’s just a bit too much knife for me. I’m an average sized American man, FWIW.

PSA; Don’t buy Maverick brand probe thermometers. I have a remote probe for smoking and it’s fine to poo poo, not reading correctly on an original probe and a brand new replacement in both ports. That said, hopefully y’all will keep an eye out for thermoworks sales this season. I’m going to replace mine once and for all with the right thermometer.

Try a silicone pad for baking or a plastic cutting board laid on top of a wet paper towel. Neither of these are permanent solutions, for what it’s worth.

I bought an immersion blender at ALDI for $20. It has one button operation and has done exactly what I need it to for a few months now. I’m skeptical of its long-term vitality but I like it for now.

Mraagvpeine posted:I recently got a half-sheet aluminum baking pan and noticed that when I put it in the oven the bottom gets scratched up by the grates. Is there a problem with the pan, the grates, or both? It’s not really a problem at all, other than cosmetic. You’re scratching the aluminum oxide that naturally and quickly forms on bare aluminum. Don’t worry about damaging what is a glorified piece of sheet metal.

My enameled Dutch oven is from Aldi. I have a pretty hard time justifying spending a ton on cast iron products, personally, but even at $30, it’s a decent piece of cookware.

Here’s a rec: buy one using information gathered somewhere other than a something awful thread. At least don’t be demanding when helpful people don’t have a broad range of experience with a fairly niche product.

I’m not recommending this but you could remove birds from your home and put it in a bitchin hot oven for a while. Alternatively do it on a grill. Might volatilize it.

If your pans are warped, it’s probably because they were heated or cooled too quickly too many times. Warping comes from mismatched thermal strain, which is exacerbated by rapid changes in temperature.
