The Midniter posted:If the breast is 20-25 degrees cooler than the rest of the bird when you pop it in the oven, it'll be that much lower after cooking, no? No. Heat transfer doesn't work that way. Especially not in a combined radiation/convection/conduction system like roasting a turkey in the oven.

Get an inexpensive nonstick pan to use for eggs and only eggs, and replace it when it wears out. Use cast iron and/or stainless steel for everything else.

VelociBacon posted:I use a $50 tfal Teflon pan pretty much just for eggs. It's much better than doing the whole process of cleaning the cast iron (I wash it with soap then reseason after every use). The hell? Why? Once it's properly seasoned you can wash cast iron with soap and water with no problems. You should only be reseasoning if you somehow strip the old seasoning or let the pan start to rust.

Hobarts are awesome if you're running a bakery or pizzeria or something, but $2k+ is a bit steep for a limited-use home kitchen appliance.

sharktamer posted:I got myself some ceramic pots as part of this set (which I managed to get for only £30, complete steal). I've tried using them a few times, but they're incredibly slow. I thought maybe it had something to do with them not working so well with the induction hob, but have I maybe just been misunderstanding how ceramic pots work? Do they naturally take longer to heat up and is it that I just shouldn't expect such an immediate furious reaction? No, you're misunderstanding how induction works. As AVLR mentions, you need a ferrous metal, since it's basically a rapidly reversing magnetic field. If what you're putting on it isn't affected by magnetic fields, it won't heat up. That's why the hob itself is cool to the touch, despite heating ferrous metals quite quickly.

A wire brush is great for removing rust or anything else clinging to the surface of iron/steel (paint, seasoning, etc). To actually remove enough material to make a difference, you'd need something like an angled flap disc and some sort of adapter arbor (they're generally designed for angle grinders). Be warned, they can be pretty aggressive and you could easily end up with dished depressions in your pan rather than a smooth surface.

If you have a Costco membership they have the Kichenaid professional 600 bowl-lift model on sale right now for $299 with a $50 MIR on costco.com, and that model will blow away any of the tilt-head models.

Thoht posted:I like the pasta roller a lot. Supposedly the meat grinder is ok if for smaller scale batches but the sausage stuffer sucks. Lots of people like getting a beater blade. If you get a beater blade make sure to get the actual Beater Blade brand one and not the official KitchenAid one. The BB one is a much better design and is angled to keep stuff under the blade, where the KA one has a tendency to push stuff up to the top of the bowl above the blade.

rgocs posted:Oh, no. I didn't fry bacon to season it. I seasoned it using Crisco. Bacon came after several times of using it after seasoning. I was just saying that I took the bacon sticking as a sign of not having been properly seasoned. Even properly seasoned cast iron will have stuff stick to it with no lubrication. It's not teflon or anything. Just keep a can of Pam by your stove and give it a couple quick spritzes before dropping in bacon and it'll be fine. And having recently seasoned a carbon steel frypan, I can vouch for the superiority of flaxseed oil over all other seasoning fats. Just make sure you get the 100% pure stuff (high lignan is fine), which has to be refrigerated, not the shelf-stable supplement oil which has a bunch of additives that degrade its ability to form a nice seasoning. Barlean's is a good brand you can find at lots of health food stores and nutrition places and the like.

The EZ DUZ IT is incredible and if I ever need another opener for some reason I'm getting a direct replacement. Assuming this one doesn't last the rest of my life, that is.

Meh. While borosilicate is more resistant to thermal shocks, tempered soda-lime glass is way tougher when it comes to impact resistance. If you're not going to be chucking your bakeware in a sink full of cold water right out of the oven for some dumb reason, the toughness of tempered soda-lime when it comes to drops or stacking with other glass is a much greater advantage IMO. There's a reason almost no one makes cookware out of borosilicate anymore. Just get a couple trivets or hotpads and put your poo poo on those when you take it out of the oven.

Good toaster: Oster Jelly Bean. If you want to spend more, the Brevilles are nice. The ridiculously expensive KA prolines and DualIts are under no circumstances in any way worth the premium. For toaster ovens, spending the extra on a Breville Smart Oven is absolutely worth it.

Family Photo posted:Not sure if the brushed aluminum will scratch a glass range though. Sorry for your loss Aluminum is a good bit softer than steel, and glass is way harder than both (which is why you should never, ever use a glass cutting board). It's much more likely to scratch from a grain of salt getting stuck between the pan and the range top than from the pan material.

Murgos posted:This toaster oven is usually highly recommended (I don't have one): https://www.amazon.com/Breville-BOV...le+toaster+oven I picked up the BOV800XL (the original Smart Oven) about three weeks ago to help with the logistics of thanksgiving dinner, and it's been awesome. Since I got it I've baked pies and cookies, reheated pizza, baked chicken, toasted bread/bagels/waffles, and some other uses I'm forgetting and it's excelled at everything. It's particularly nice how fast it heats up for baking things. No more 20-minute waits for the oven to get to 425 (along with all the wasted energy of heating all that space/mass)? Yes please! My only regret is not getting one years ago.

The Panasonic is also tiny, where the Breville can fit regular quarter sheet pans and 9x13 baking dishes and round casseroles etc. That's the main reason I got mine, actually. To use as an additional oven during thanksgiving. It's proven eminently useful since then, though.

Subjunctive posted:I don’t think that’s how inflation works? It's pretty much how it works for non-commodities, which is most consumer goods. Their prices are sticky, with jumps in pricing after years at the same price. They don't slowly adjust pricing to match inflation.
