Looking for a good immersion blender. Bamix Pro seems about what I’m looking for. Any other suggestions?

Someone recommend a small precision scale. I have the myweigh scale, but it's only got 1g accuracy. I tried to add .8g yeast in my bread yesterday and I think I messed up because I was guessing. What are people's favorite small precision scales? My weed dealer had a nice pocket one back in college.

I don't really use this in the kitchen because I don't need to get that accurate but I do own this because I also collect coins and need to verify that something isn't counterfeit. This would probably work out really well for you.

That looks exactly like my dealer's from college. It has some pretty bad reviews tho, maybe that's why he used it.

got my factory 2nd 3-qt all clad saute pan. I literally cannot tell what is wrong with it. The lid has a couple tiny scratches on the top edge I guess? I would scratch it more the first time using it.

I have a pair of carbon steel opinel paring knives. My gf loves them and asked if they made a chef's knife. They don't seem to make something in the same steel. Could anyone recommend something that is lightweight, thin, and sharp (carbon is good because we love patina)? This would be used almost exclusively on vegetables. I was thinking maybe some sort of carbon steel nakiri or santoku.

I would get something stainless steel with a tri-clad bottom (don't need the whole thing to be tri-clad). Like above poster said, you don't need something fancy. I have this in a 12-qt I think and it works great.

I just pre-ordered this bad boy, the Anova Precision Oven. We’ve been talking about replacing our oven because it bothers us in a number of ways, but this is both cheaper and more functional for 95% of the cooking we do.



I am very excited!

Let us know how it works out. Luckily my gf saw the wolf oven at home goods for $300. It seemed too good of a deal to pass on. Especially since our apartment oven when set to 450 only hits 350. Turns out wolf doesn’t do refurbished units but any units they have returned are sold to employees which I guess somehow ended up at home goods

I have a large maple cutting board that I like to keep on the counter. I want something to elevate it so it doesn't ever sit in any water. There are feet that people will screw into boards but I don't want to put any holes in my board. Ideas we've come up with: cork strips or rubber washers. Any ideas?
