/ck/ - Food & Cooking

i want a soda fountain for my house and a nugget ice machine.

>>14026061
You just know this shit doesn't get hot enough and the grease catcher won't fuckin' do the trick. You'll use it once, find out the fuckin effort aint worth it nor the clean up and just go buy a fuckin doner/saj/gyro for $5 bucks from the local paki or greek cart

>>14026248
Pretty much this. A gas powered one might do the trick, but they're unreasonably expensive. How often would you even use it?
Just buy a kebab dish once in a while.
You could also try this:

>>14026416
That's what I'm afraid of, I just don't want to drive an hour or more to get me some shawarma. Also, my stash of p100 masks are limited.

>>14026061

Cant decide lads. £300.

>>14026245
nugget ice?

>>14026751

Absolutely worth it

>>14026875
Yeah I would like to get in to baking. I havent done much so far, but I feel like thats partly a lack of equipment.

>>14026654
the old ones are great
the new ones are sticky and terrible and they keep telling you to put cornstarch on it, but its like fucking a bottle of glue.

>>14026751

totally worth it but not for £300.

>>14026751
Just got one last month. The girlfriend and I are loving it. Great for making bread or cookies or whatever else you like. Go for it, anon.

>>14026061
Pellet smoker and a deli slicer.

>>14026061
Any thoughts on air friers?

>>14026947
>Worth it
>Not for what it costs

Not worth it then?

>>14026998
very good for frozen foods, but not for actual cooking.

>>14026998
meme for boomers to pretend they can eat fried foods after their strokes

>>14026998
I don't really see what it does. If you want something fried, fry it. If you want something cooked and dehydrated, use your toaster oven's toast setting (or bake setting first to cook then toast setting).

Cold Brew coffee maker.

>>14027261
If you live somewhere with summer It's worth it

>>14027261
Just use a French press?

>>14026061
Dude I got a Sunbeam for like $7 at Goodwill. Have done several chickens but always wanted to try Al Pastor. Mine was like new in the box.

Boomers loaded up on shit like this from QVC and put it away in a cabinet and it never got used. We are Living in the Golden Age of cheap 2nd hand made in USA kitchen gadgets.

>>14026751
Worth it. But wait for a sale.
I have heard the Bosch Universal is a superior machine though, and especially for tough tasks like making dough. The drive system is bullet proof whereas the KitchenAid has vinyl sacrificial gears. They don't make them like the old Hobart era mixers.

>>14027595
>>14027261

Not who you're replying too, but I wouldn't mind one of those. Most of the time I can't be bothered to filter out my brew from my French Press so the built-in filter appeals to my laziness.

>>14027664

A french press literally has a filter already in it.

>>14027672
Yeah well mine does jackshit. The one in the pictured product looks like it'd do a better job.

>>14027715
So then use a clean sock or some cheesecloth or something, god damn

>>14027722
all my socks are permastank and I ain't got cheesecloth, good suggestions tho

>>14026998
Dont let the other anons dissaude you too much. I don’t own one because im not part of its target market, aka, people who want fried foods without the grease/fat. But my old roommate had one and it worked fine in order to cook. Made scotch eggs, french fries, and falafels in it. Cooks well, tastes good, but actually fried food tastes better for me. If you don’t want grease/fat, air friers are fine and get the texture of fried foods much better than baking alternatives.

>>14026061
>wont be worth it

Better to make your own knowing its safe rather than the alternative...

>>14027732
Use a tea sock retard.

>>14026869
it's the stuff they use at sonic

>>14026751
Its worth it

>>14026061
not afraid to buy one just haven't found a great deal but I want to buy a vending machine and fill it with different brands of beer I like

>>14028037
Yeah but the whole point is that you slowly chop off the outer layer that gets seared by the heating element. If you're cooking for yourself instead of 8 hours in a restaurant, I'll still be forced to chop off bits to eat every hour for 8 hours

>>14028161
That's retarded

>>14028121
It’s called getting an ice pick lmao

>>14026751
I bought a factory refurbished one and suggest you do the same. as long as it doesn't have any blemishes it's identical to a brand new one. it's just a motor with a worm gear. I imagine they just had to replace the motor, mine was likely a RMA.

>>14028183
cold beer of your choice without taking up valuable fridge space sounds good to me

>>14026998
get a convection toaster oven, you can use it as a dehydrator too

>>14028205
to be fair I do own two fridges and two chest freezers. one of them is my beer and meat fridge for the garage and one freezer got converted to a 3 tap kegerator

>>14028190
why do the ice climbers use mallets instead of picks

>>14028205
Yeah, but then you have a fucking vending machine taking up space in your house instead

>>14026955
fuck you ben

>thanks, williams-sonoma

artisan vs pro line

>>14027261
My parents had one of these. I kept getting grounds in the final product even when the grind wasn't fine. Just use a paper filter

>>14026061
definitely not worth it, I've worked with the big high quality ones and even on those it takes a long time to cook

>>14028313
Worth trying to do it in the oven? I have failed to recreate the persian/mediterranean dishes I want like Zankou's shish kabob (tastes exactly like my dad used to make) or their chicken kabob which is juicier than chicken anywhere else. But all the copycat recipes I find are for their toum/garlic sauce which anyone can make easily.

>>14026751
My wife's son is loving it because I can make bread quite easily now.

I've had my eye on this. It's only a grand. Thoughts?

>>14027244
neck yourself, autist

>>14028338
how is that autistic, spaz?

>>14027614
That’s neat, how do you do your chicken in something like that? You don’t mean whole chicken do you?

>>14028335
Normally I'd say no based on the price but if it actually gets up to 750 degrees on the dial and you like 'za...

>>14026061
same. I want to make shawarma, gyro, and al pastor but all the machines online appear to be of shitty build quality.

>>14026998

>>14027614
do you live in the fucking backrooms

>>14026245

>>14028365
>That’s neat, how do you do your chicken in something like that? You don’t mean whole chicken do you?
No but it is set up to do a whole chicken. The chicken stands upright in the basket with the axle shaft poking straight through the bird. Then at the top there is a fork that you stick into the top of the bird to keep it centered. It rotates slowly and cooks a 5 pound chicken in about an hour iirc.

The whole thing comes apart pretty easy for cleaning too. Even the aluminum reflector behind the heating element pops out.

I want to try a pot roast in it and some kebab.

>>14026998
My dad had one and we brought it back from his place after he passed away. Works fine but I generally don't get a lot of opportunities to use it.

>>14026998
Decided to go ahead and buy this and an electric pressure cooker today. Will probably get a kitchen aid mixer and and a bread maker next week. I'm doing a lot more cooking because of quarantine and i've gone gadget crazy.

>>14028417
>bread maker
Biggest meme appliance. They don't work very good. You'll be happier just learning how to bake bread the old fashioned way.

Pressure cookers are top tier though.

>>14028417
Yeah what >>14028428 said, just bake bread normally using a bread pan. I like to make banana bread with it.

>>14028434
>banana bread
that's cake!

>>14028443
That's the best part, you can make cake and bread in a bread pan

For me it's the pizzelle iron. I really want to make stroopwaffels but that's about it and I already have a waffle iron that I seldom use.

>>14026751
>head tilt mixer
those are the big gay

get a bowl lift mixer or bust

If you've got a Costco membership you can get the Costco branded KitchenAid Pro mixer for cheaper than the equivalent head tilt mixer

I want the fizzies.

Where do you guys find the room to store all these kitchen gadgets?

I have to literally get rid of something to fit even one more appliance in my kitchen.

>>14028599
I enjoyed this until the can of air lost its juice after a week of casual use.

>>14026061
A bread mixer

Just not sure if a $200 waffle iron is worth it.

moving into a house a month and am finally going to have room for a grill. i figure i'm going to go with the buy once cry once route but goddamn its a lot for a grill/smoker. hold me bros.

>>14028601

>tfw you have money to buy a new mixer but nowhere to put it

>>14028766
I will always have room in my kitchen for more knives!

>>14026061
adam raguesa is a fucking faggot but has decent ideas sometimes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euEkn7gBmyk
if you don't like his face or his voice the tl;dr here is "make gyros at home with pan-fried ground lamb because you'll never make it as good as the restaurants"
which is what you should do instead of buying a fucking $200 or whatever dogshit home kebab rotisserie

>>14026998
thought they were a meme, got one from a family member. It's replaced like 95% of my oven usage and a lot of my frypan usage.
If you're only cooking for 1 or 2 people they're amazing.
Obviously they're a great way to cook frozen stuff like nuggets, tendies, chips, battered fish, but you'd be surprised at how good they are at other things.
It's basically an oven with a lot of hot air movement, and with a little bit of oil spray it replicates to an extent shallow frying. In addition to chicken parts (which it's really good at doing) I've actually made a whole chicken in it a few times (butterflied and whole, butterflied is the best way), I cook burgers in it regularly, sausages are good and you don't get the oil splatter
About the only things it can't do are eggs, obviously you can make stews or things that require boiling/poaching, it can do basic bread but not anything over fancy.
>My contribution to the thread
I want to buy a coffee machine. I was considering a moccamaster.

>>14027005
it means buy it used, buy it refurbished, or fistfight for a discount one at christmas or on black friday. it means "it's worth it if you find it for cheap and not an overinflated price you fucking mong".

>>14027261
not worth. literally all you need is two containers, one to brew in and one to pour in. I use plastic pitchers that cost $2 each. I filter through a mesh coffee filter, wait for the fine sludge to settle, then decant back into the original container.
>>14028335
my fucking GOD no just buy a pizza steel and a pizza stone. put the steel on the bottom, then put a rack above it and put the stone on it
>>14028599
if you do it, look into getting a CO2 cartridge mod so you're not stuck to using their garbage proprietary cartridges
>>14028644
it's not and you know it. get a restaurant style one for $100 from a restaurant supply store

>>14026751
Honestly imagine not having a kitchen aid

yikes

>>14028869
>tfw you live in Scotland and can't even buy a knife or steel now xddd
also no knife in the balls, I am disappointed with your picture

>>14028599
>supporting (((sodastream)))

>>14028952
well to be fair if you plunged it too low then it would breach the neathers and therefor unsupported by the racks materials meaning the blade would plummet. would not be desirable.

>>14029141
to be fair you sound like an alright pal but a proper man-shaped knife stand needs to have one slot in the dick

Been thinking about an ice cream machine for years. But I know I will only use it 1 or 2 times a year, plus my kitchen is already overloaded with gadgets.
But I do like ice cream...so...

>>14029169
>man-shaped knife stand

>tfw your friends visit and see a life sized black sculpture in the kitchen penetrated by hundreds of finely sharpened knives and they look at you

>>14028926
holy shit bro ever heard of people not wanting to do extra shit like that

>>14029214
I bought one of those freezable bowls for a kitchenaid, works alright, you can't get it as while mixing as the proper machine and you need to finish it by chilling in the freezer, but the end result is ok if you're only do a litre or so at a time, it would be a pain if you were making multiple flavours in one day.

>>14028335
just get a pizza stone

>>14028926
>CO2 cartridge mod
unless you don't have the room
it's still worth it imo

>>14028601
my kitchen is a galley and doesn't even have a pantry it really sucks. I put up shelving in the room next to it and it's loaded up. I keep cast iron in 4 different rooms in my house as well as the garage

>>14026751
I bought my mom one 10 years ago and it is still going strong. Would recommend.

>>14029427
>a pizza stone
Pizza stones don't get hot enough in a household oven. You will never get anything close to a commercial baked crust. You need a pizza steel. Steel is vastly superior.

>>14029735
The steel wont get any hotter than the stone in the same oven.

>>14029762
This, but steel heatens up much faster so you don't waste as much energy.

>>14029778
I'm not so poor that I worry about having the oven on for an extra 2 minutes.

>>14029797
So why are not eating in a restaurant then?

>>14029762
>The steel wont get any hotter than the stone in the same oven.
Yes it will. Steel is denser than stone. It conducts and stores heat better. The stone will crack if you place it close to the broiler which is key in the cooking technique in the home oven. You preheat the steel on the top or 2nd rack then turn the broiler on for a few minutes which will actually raise the temp of the steel beyond 550° which is the maximum setting of most home ovens. K have found that I can get my steel up to 700 degrees easily with this method.

But by all means please continue to make inferior pizzas number cruncher pleb.

>>14029797
>I'm not so poor
No you're just a simple idiot. Post your pizza queerbait.

>>14028908
>I don't understand the phrase "worth it".

>>14029826
Then its not in an oven then is it.
>oh i'll just move these goal posts to prove my point
Have a day off dick head.

>>14026614
You can reuse the masks like a shit ton of times

>>14027027
They make roast potatoes/veggies and breaded cutlets fast and nicely, one thing I do like about them is they have a bit of a dessicating quality so stuff never ends up soggy

>>14026751
Wait for a sale and then buy the pasta maker set to go along with it.

>>14026751
>IT'S WORF IT MAYTE

>>14026998
They’re actually pretty good for when you don’t want to use a lot of oil. Makes French fries like nobody’s business. I’d grab it if it’s on sale.

>>14029890
buy a normal convection oven

>>14028221
dont ask questions you dont want to know the answer to

>>14029869
>Then its not in an oven then is it.
You just revealed that you don't even cook. Most broilers are at the top of the oven you absolute cooklette.

You shouldn't use tools you're not qualified to handle anyway. Enjoy your Boboli, kid.

>>14029937
uh oh

>>14028221
We use mallets because an icepick will get stuck in a polarbear. With an icepick he bear runs away and now the icepick is gone.

>>14029949
>Most broilers are at the top of the oven
Nice try spastic, you've just revealed that you don't even cook. The grill is separate to the oven, or in a shitty small combi oven/grill that no one even half competent would ever use.

>>14026061
Sous Vide immersion circulator, is it worth it for 100 bucks?

>>14030100
>Nice try spastic, you've just revealed that you don't even cook. The grill is separate to the oven
>t.Mommy makes great tendies
Literally 90% of ovens in the first world(America) have the broiler element at the top of the oven.

>>14030176
A thousand times yes. I got one as a gift last winter and have used it nonstop for things like steak (obviously) and making/jarring pickles.

Pasta machines: worth it? And should I get a separate pasta machine or an attachment for the KitchenAid mixer?

>>14030376
Would you recommend the chefsteps method for the pickles, or do you use something else?

>>14028302
Artisan means fuck all you mong cunt

>>14030176
Yes.

>>14030376
I have been thinking about getting one. What size container do you have?

>>14030407
I think the artisan ones stop at like 4 qt and 300 watts.

>immersion blender
>stand mixer
>deep fryer
>convection toaster oven
The biggest issue is that I have a tiny kitchen and don't want something I'll rarely use taking up space.

>>14028903
A lot of people have basically copied their design for a third of the price. Look into Redline MK 1 or Motif Essential

>>14030401
I don't know what the chefstep method is. I simply prep everything like normal then let the jars sous vide for ~ 3 hours at 140F, cool until room temp, then place them in the fridge. Easy.

>>14028926
So you put the pizza on the steel with the stone on the next rack up?

things I always eyeballing every blackfriday or xmas but never pull the trigger

Immersion blenders are great and worth. Perfect for soups or any time you're too lazy to work the knife

>>14026751
this goes on sale all the time

>>14029214
Not worth it. If you own a high power blender or a stand mixer >>14026751 just go to one of the higher-end grocery stores that sells dry ice and make dry ice cream.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvkU3qzUNUA
I'm pretty sure you can do the same thing with a ziplock bag and a hammer then mix everything in a big bowl with a hand mixer as well. It'll freeze the base faster than any machine will in less time so less crystals have a chance to form making the product creamier.

>>14029214
As a pastry cook without a car I get a lot of use out of my ice cream machine. I got the Cuisinart ICE-100 which is great for the ~$200 price range. The mixer bowls and the sub $100 machines suck. If you want really good ice cream and you live somewhere cold, you can get the kind of mixer that you surround with ice outside and use that.

Ron isa sleazelord these showtime ovens, answer.

>>14028335
if you've got a grand to throw around on pizza toys get a roccbox, they're fucking sick. i got my dad one for christmas a few years ago and the thing cranks out amazing pies.

>>14032024
Instant pot is quite good. Personally I prefer to use the oven for slow cooking. I think the flavours get more intensified on the oven because it's a drier heat. But it's nice to be able to cook something and forget about it. Plus the pressure cooker and rice cooker is a bonus.

Espresso machine is worth having in my opinion. You can pick them up quite cheap and still get good coffee from them.

Both my grannies lived to be 90+ years old and used Tupperware and Teflon and everything else people like you sperg over. One of them also smoked Marlboro's and Mostly Light 120's for like 70 years.

If your genetics are so inferior that plastic BTFO your asshole then you probably deserve to be removed from the genepool tbqhf.

The only reason I haven't bought one yet is that I can't find one that works with induction.

>>14035425
Yeah but they didn't start using them when they were kids.
Also exception doesn't make the rule, you can always find that dude that ate asbestos but didn't die from it, doesn't mean asbestos is safe.

My mom is like 70 years old and used Tupperware and Teflon and everything else people like you sperg over. She also smoked Marlboro's and Kools for like 50 years.

I'm 40+ and have been using Tupperware and plastic shit my entire life and I'm just fine. You probably are anti 2nd Amendment too because you live in fear of the boogieman and everything else the media tells you is going to kill you. You probably vape and smoke weed too.

We've been told plastic was totally safe, it gets sticky and greasy after some time? no biggie, but by the way it might be safe to throw away these items : pacifier, child toys, plastic cups. Stay tuned for the next list of plastics that were deemed safe but turn out they aren't.
Go for it dude, totally let that plastic bottle sit in your car all summer and drink from it afterwards and don't forget to sprinkle your burnt meat with these teflon flakes for xtra taste, best way to remove yourself from the genepool.

chicken smoker?

>>14026751
Personally I'd get a kenwood chef major, especially if you want to use ot for mixing heavy doughs. But that aside, it's worth every penny.

>>14029214
I love mt ice-cream maker, but do some real research. Quality differences are significant, and you actually need a good one to make good ice-cream. The cuisinart with built in compressor is practically the cheapest machine of acceptable quality.

>>14028335
What the fuck america

>Go for it dude, totally let that plastic bottle sit in your car all summer and drink from it afterwards
Strawman cope.
You don't refute my claims because I got you pegged. Everything I do causes cancer according to the state of Commiefornia. I'm a welder dude, aka an actual man doing an actual manly job. I am not some sort of cubicle wagie worried about some gay shit killing me like plastic. Nigga I smoke metal all day and shoot guns filled with lead for fun.

You can make cold brew with a mason jar and a drip filter. Even if I had one of those I'd probably still use the jar because cleaning is easy.

For me, it would be a food dehydrator. I'm not really satisfied with using an oven for it, but I'm not sure the gadgets you can get actually do a better job.

get one from Goodwill or something, clean it good, see if you use it, then either keep or replace with a fancier gadget

i use cheap small burr hand grinder for my pour over and cheap blade grinder for moka. Im not convinced I would be able to taste the difference desu

It's not about marketing, Europe has a less competitive market therefore sellers can fuck us with the prices. Also taxes and wages are more expensive, reflecting on the prices of goods.

Can anyone recommend a blender as good as a thermomix but at a cheaper price? I use it at my parents all the time but only to blend stuff. And steam I guess but you can just use a pot for that. The actual dishes it can make seem pretty shit. Actually the butterfly function is pretty useful.

>>14035093
This. They look nice, but produce a similar product to any pour over and break easily. Just get a milita

You must be 18 to post here. Sorry about your retarded shop teacher.

Everything kills you, calm the fuck down. You're literally shitting yourself at the thought of some plastic touching your food. We used to pluck carrots out of the ground and brush the excess dirt off with our hands and eat them straight away. Do you honestly think the chickens and cows you eat haven't ingested industrial pollution every day of their lives? Do you think your vegetables aren't caked in acid rain runoff and motor oil in the well water? Dude just live life and get over your fears. We're all going to die someday. At least I know where I am going, and it is a hell of a lot better than this world. I'll get to see granny again, and one day I'll be resurrected into my final form. I'm good brah.

Spotted the double major in Basket Weaving and Gender Studies.

Why is it the self described socialist/communist "worker's party" people don't ever actually work, and despise the actual working class?

We were created to toil 6 days and live by the sweat of our brow. I actually take pride in making durable goods in the USA. It is a dying part of my culture that at one time made this Nation great. People actually creating value instead of leeches existing on usury and in the (((service industry))). The powers that be want you to be afraid to work for a living so they can import Hector to do your job for half the price and ship your birthright to some slave labor communist sweatshop in China.

Rest assured there will be a recompense in the hereafter.

The funny thing is that ""air frying"" is literally just a convection oven. It only works if the food is caked in oil otherwise you're just drying it out and charring it. The food literally ends up just as oily as deep frying, it's not like frying oil goes INSIDE the food but these dumbass boomers and trendy millenials don't put more than 10 seconds of thinking into their world views.

Deep frying is only unhealthy when you're using old, black oil from shitty restaurants that has broken down to the point that it's pretty much poison.

Got my mom one of these last Christmas. Both of my parents are wild in love with it and when we made cookies with it they were tight as fuck. Has some pretty cash add ons too, if you're looking into expanding. So yeah, ultimately, worth it but >>14036025 is right, check Ebay or something first.

>>14026751
Are you a woman or old lady?

If not, there's no justification for you to have a stand mixer.

>>14028335
How hot does it get?
If it can get 2x as hot as a conventional oven then it would be.

>>14028644
Don't get those kind of waffle irons.
You want waffle irons that have big, thick and heavy heating elements. Especially if you want to make authentic Belgian liege waffles.
These kind of small, "high tech" waffle irons will lose way too much heat and you won't be able to caramelize the pearl sugar properly.

>>14028660

>>14029214
I got this 4 years ago and love it.
I make ice cream 2-3 times every summer.
I feel like getting a more expensive machine wouldn't be worth it unless you make a shitload of ice cream.
Also my advice. If you do get this, crank your freeze to max and stick(with the mixer attachment) in the back of the freezer for 2-3 days, to get it as cold as possible. The colder the core, the better your ice cream will come out.

>>14034715
I want one only for the aesthetics

>>14026061
Couldn't you just put it on a spit horizontally over a grill?

>>14026998
I own one, it's totally replaced using a deep fryer for me. I got tired of cleaning the oil out and replacing it, especially when my housemates would use up 80% of each oil change and I'd get maybe one or two cooks out of it. Even now that I no longer live with those shit roommates, the air fryer is just too useful to me. I only really use ovens now for baked potatoes because I find the consistency better, but for everything from frozen foods to niche dish parts like sliced beef/pork belly, it does a pretty fantastic job. I upgraded to one that was double the internal capacity on the theory that the convection component would work better with more space and that seems to be working out as I thought, so the same amount of food does cook quicker and has a better consistency if there's more of a void for the air to flow through.

>>14028313
Same experience at my job we had decided to offer a iou lunch Sharma because the owner is Saudi and our concept is Mediterranean/Middle Eastern so it fits. New menu rollout we bought two units 3k a piece one for chicken one for beef, garlic toum all ready, beef tallow on top of the beef and layered in, marinades all authentic. They barely sell the first week, the beef machine breaks entirely no heating element or spinning, the chicken machine stops spinning about a month later. Can't return them because the owner lost the warranty (probably never registered them) just cooking all shawarma on the flat top now until one of my cooks who is handy takes them home to look at them (he tinkers with electronics and shit and the chef figures they are trash anyway) Frankensteined one functional one from the other (think he swapped the heating element from the one that spun with the one that was entirely fucked and it took) so now chicken being the bigger seller is on the machine itself while beef is a la plancha the other sits in dry storage presumably for parts when the other finally kicks it again next month

>>14039895
How to steal Zankou's recipe? I can detect aleppo pepper I think and probably yogurt marinade but I don't know how they get their beef and chicken so juicy compared to other places

Okay, but how's the shawarma?

>>14028385

Just buy some ice cream instead. Honestly, you really shouldn't be eating enough ice cream to warrant this purchase.

I would just get a lil smokey for the same price so I can make bacon as well

>>14039927
Have you tried just asking a worker what the marinade is? I will say the chicken is bretty good and I use it in my sandwiches at work all the time. Even done on the flattop it still isn't dried out, ours was made by some Lebanese manager and two Saudi regulars had input, it's marinaded in the garlic sauce with onions and ras en hanout with some other spices so it's yellow colored

>>14040099
>digital bullshit
of course you shouldn't.

>>14026998
Basically a cross between a oven and a fryer.
It's defiantly not gonna give you deep fried food but it will be better than a regular oven when cooking chips.
It's definitely worth it if you cook for 1-2 and can't deep fry like a in apartment or dorm room.

>>14040165
>can't deep fry like a in apartment or dorm room.

It's like 10k for the smallest model but at my old job at the hotel we had one and fuck did I enjoy it, I could do without the programs and shit I just want a household combioven that let's me control the humidity level to the percent and the fan

>>14040160
>>14040160
No i am autistic about that sort of thing. I didn't think anybody would marinate with garlic sauce though, it's not a very spreadable consistency although I suppose I could add more olive oil or lime juice to it. Zankou is lebanese/armenian I think so maybe I'll look into what they use.

>>14027629
Kenwood is also an excellent brand, the one where I work has seen 12 years of daily usage with zero problems

Nothing to brag about. Being a certified welder is merely one of my skills. Welding is an idiot profession, but it pays well. Out west I was a Carpenter Foreman and then Job Estimator. Structural welding was done by green as fuck apprentices and the clinically retarded. White men usually stuck to the plan table and passing out paychecks.

But I'm not traveling all over the southeast to be a Foreman or Stuporintendent and going home Evey other weekend. Manufacturing pays well and my commute takes 15 minutes down back roads in my Miata RF.

The shop has fans, and OSHA has samples the air and deemed it clean enough to not require a Respirator. Fuck off queer. Congratulations on being a certified idiot.

>>14026998
I bought one because I wanted to stop using a deep fat fryer, I wound up throwing it in the trash pretty fast.

If you only have a dogshit 50 year old gas oven, maybe these are alright. If you have a convection oven, these are just blatantly inferior garbage that cooks nothing well. If you want crispier fries, buy a 2 dollar mesh tray to cook on instead, and marvel at how you suddenly no longer get undercooked bottoms on them.

>>14026751
My mom picked up one of these and it struggles on basic bread dough. Constantly smashing itself around, bumping up and down, and it came with a bunch of junk like the ice cream maker. 300W is a joke.

I own one, I've made cakes, pork roasts, cooked nuggets, tendies, chicken and beef. It's pretty fuckin versatile desu. Highly recommend obtaining.

>>14032024
>>garlic press
A garlic press doesn't mince garlic, it crushes it, releasing more oils. Which can actually be counterproductive because then cooking this down results in some bitter flavours, as opposed to garlic minced with a knife. So if you're already used to us, I wouldn't worry about getting one. But if you do get one for some reason, make sure you get one that can open up to be cleaned, those things are a pain in the fucking ass.

>>espresso machine
I'd recommend it if you drink coffee every day or specifically buy a fancier drink from coffee shops every day, it's so much cheaper to make your own coffee and you can customize it however you like in terms of sweetness or milk/foam ratio, and you can even get flavour syrups on Amazon. Plus it's a nice meditative activity to make a cup of coffee every morning. But for only occasional use probably not worth it, just walk to the coffee shop and treat yourself instead.

>>deep fryer
I thought about it and I honestly would if my kitchen had more storage space. But also, maybe it's a good thing I don't have one so I'm not tempted to fry shit as often. You can still use coffee filter or paper towel to filter used oil and store in a jar for later use if you just fry in a pot/pan.

These are basically ovens. However they do cook faster than a fan oven and don't dry out the food as much.

>>14029385

I've never been able to get good results from the frozen bowl ice cream makers. It only ever gets it to 'half melted soft serve' and if I try finishing it off in the freezer, it turns into an ice block if you leave it in overnight. It just about works if you freeze it for an hour or two then eat it all at once but that kinda sucks.
