I liked my Calphalon nonstick but I got a new Swiss diamond pan for Christmas and boy is it nice. Not sure if it's truly worth 2x the price but it has a lifetime warranty.

I have the larger Benriner and feel the same way about the julienne blades...you really have to ram it through and it's not confidence inspiring when a small slip could hamburger your fingers pretty good. I only use it for slicing now.

yes, and you can re-use them if you make the bags longer than necessary.

I have this one, and it seems to work great, but I still prefer my gas stove whenever possible. http://www.amazon.com/1800-Watt-Portable-Induction-Countertop-8100MC/dp/B0045QEPYM My only complaint is the cooling fan spins crazy fast and makes an audible whine noise, which can be annoying but wasn't bad enough to return it or avoid using it.

Not 100% sure but I think i had food poisioning last week from some flank steak i got from costco. I think it was in the danger zone in my car for too long before i got home. 2 days in the fridge and then add in the prep time while I trimmed, butterflied it and rolled it up to grill it...perhaps too long in the danger zone? Either that or i had a 24-36 hour fight against a norovirus.

Babylon Astronaut posted:Food-borne illnesses are not as common as people make them out to be. That's kinda the reason we're so anal about it in pro kitchens because you gently caress it up once and you're that restaurant that poisons their customers. Not saying you should be lax, but you can have terrible sanitation practices and get by with idiot luck. I mean, you're making fewer meals in a year than a high volume restaurant does in a day. Or, you could follow the rules and still get sick. A big part of something like a HAACP plan is being able to trace the outbreak even if it is no fault of your own. This doesn't really come into play in a home kitchen, however, most people assume the last meal they ate is what got them sick, when usually it is the meal before that so be wary of assuming something is or isn't your doing based on that. I didn't see any tenderization marks on the meat...I have only occasionally seen that on the meat at Costco. I don't think it was in the danger zone for 90 minutes on the day I bought it and maybe another 60 minutes on the day I cooked it.

Steve Yun posted:I've been using latex gloves for big cooking events. A Costco Business just opened up near me and they have nitrile gloves (500 gloves for $20!) which say they're more puncture resistant for only a couple more bucks. Anyone have experience with these? cross compare prices with harbor freight, i usually get packs of 100 pairs of 7mil gloves under 10 bucks. medium weight cost a bit more and are my preference for car work but thinner ones will be cheaper.

Cuisinart does a good one too. If you're not iffy about Lodge (they used to rely on prison labor, it turned some folks I know against them hard) Cooks Illustrated rated them second best, just behind le cruset. lol no longer available also, neber compromise also, more good rebiews

Smoke it at a super low non-cooking temp like ~170° or so for a few hours to give it a nice smoke flavor, then inject it with butter and fry it till it’s done. you should have no problem getting a nice crispy skin on a big green egg it wont be fried turkey grade crispy skin but it will be good and all of it will get eaten

I have a duxtop induction cooker and it works really well. I don't use it all that often (bought it when I had electric range but now have gas). Mostly I use it for my pressure cooker to make a big batch of stock. Very quick to get it pressurized and then quickly shift down to the right temp for maintaining optimum pressure
