Is this comparable to like a magic bullet or does it chop differently?

I use the poo poo out of a magic bullet for small serving emulsified dressings when I can't be arsed to break in my whisk arm.

Yeah, analogue ones. :v:

My $20 amazon special digital scale is pretty much instant read too, are the batteries dying in yours?

Maybe it’s a good time to change the subject. I’m also looking for an electric griddle and a stick blender, in that order. I know I’ve asked about stick blenders here before, but that was in 2017 I think.

I've got this All-Clad and it's never failed me. I didn't pay a hundred bucks for it though, got it for about half that on sale as an open-box.

You have literally said nothing while trying to say everything. Please shut the gently caress up.

You're already on a day from Gigi, but this is your notice. Settle the gently caress down.

I get it, it's a stressful as hell time right now, but don't go aggro on other posters to vent. We're all a little on edge.

And how. I use them for zesting citrus, and the wonder of microplaning your knuckles and immediately grinding lemon oil into them has to be experienced to be known. :v:

MAPP (more accurately MAP-Pro these days because they don't make real MAPP anymore) burns a little hotter, so can sear a little better. Any gas torch can also leave aftertastes, though, especially if you don't have the torch adjusted properly to burn right. Propane's just a little worse about it.

Make sure your flame's dark blue around the outer edges and making a little roaring noise. Orange/yellow/red flames are incompletely burning and will deposit unburnt hydrocarbons that leave aftertastes.

I absolutely recommend having a mapp torch in the kitchen. But I still have never got a sear like I can in a hot pan or a crust from a blazing oven with it.

A torch and the pro-style lift bowl Kitchenaid are my dream team when it comes to making frostings.

Especially cream cheese. So much easier when you can start straight from the fridge and soften it in the bowl while beating.

Yep!

It's great. Lets you make buttercream in advance too, you can just bung it in the fridge and whip and torch to reheat and fluff before piping later.
