Thanks to the recommendation from this thread and its predecessor I have purchased a Thermopen MK4, it is very cool and good, and I have already used it to great effect on some chicken breasts I got the other day. 10/10 would buy again, and I wish my gramma had had one of these so that my perception of chicken breasts would not have been "leather made of strings" for the better part of my childhood.

It was on sale at that price for Thanksgiving/Black Friday. I'm guessing they're just riding that up till Christmas.

DARPA Dad posted:Oh, yeah, absolutely. But I'm wondering if there isn't a market for the lazy 20-something who just got their first apartment. Then again, if you're that lazy, an Anova and a cast iron pan seem like better buys for the same amount of money. Seconding this. Holy gently caress that pantelligent thing is 200 dollars.

The shrimp butler has extremely mixed reviews on amazon, enough to make me wary. In either this thread or the old one someone recommended a waffle iron, does anyone remember which one that was?

Hauki posted:I bought that on the thread's recommendation and it constantly times out/powers off literally as I'm adding things. I'll turn it back on and like ten or twenty seconds later it's off again mid pour. It's fine if you need to weigh like one thing, but if you're trying to tare and weigh multiple things or do anything more involved expect it to be an exercise in frustration. I've had the same experience honestly. I figured it was just me being dumb.

Steve Yun posted:Pressure cooker nerds: I have 6liter fagor I'm looking to replace. The Kuhn rikon 8 liter is $220, the Kuhn 7 liter is $165. Is there any reason I shouldn't get the 7? I got the 8 when it was really cheap and it's good, yes, but the picture doesn't make it clear that it's really tall, really makes browning/stirring a pain. I would have preferred something squatter and wider. The 7 qt seems to have a different design.

What's a good hot plate or other portable appliance to heat up food? Barring that, a good portable stove that can be bundled in with luggage and used in a hotel?

Is there any reason they wouldn't be? Though the question is badly worded; I'm sort of looking for both though I'll settle for just the stove if it can do the job of both.

All right, after doing some reading I guess it's out for hotel usage. I still do want one for general usage though. Preferably something that doesn't require a gas canister to lug around.

This is kind of a long shot to ask here, but I can't seem to find the right combination of search terms for google. I need a thin mat that I can put on my kitchen counter that won't slide around and is also smooth on top (so a suction cup will hold on it). Dishwasher safe would be a plus.

How often do good stand mixers go on sale? I noticed that Costco's got their 6qt kitchenaid on sale for 250 (down from 330) but I was wondering if I should hold out for a better deal or if that's about as good as I'll get.

Follow up question, how much do you guys use your stand mixers? I make cookies and egg pasta once a month or so and I'm interested in learning bread/cakes but I'm wondering if the stand mixer really does anything that you couldn't do with more elbow grease instead.
