The best yellow popcorn I've had was home grown by a friend's sister. I got a jar of it, but I don't recall how long after the harvest it was, not too long though. Had a natural sweetness to it I haven't tasted since. These days with a restricted diet I make popcorn in the microwave in a bowl...

I suspect it should work well, more concerned about blade to bowl height and the durability of the plastic bowl. I'm the dishwasher so that's one reason I like a small unit that's easy to use and clean up. My big processor is fine, just lots of parts get dirty just to use it for small things...

Yes, I have been giving alternatives thought. The Ninja regular processor might be ok, but the Cuisinart design is what I want. I'm only looking to replace the 2 cup Oskar because I'd like a larger bowl, and a dedicated pulse switch. The other major consideration is it has to fit in a...

The one I'm looking at is the "old style" with the paddle switch and still comes with the flat top. They claim a 600w motor. I don't really care about the chute as I don't think I'd ever use any of the slicing or shredding functions. I don't use any of that stuff on my big one anymore...

Thank you. Do you use the S blade meat/ veg cutter? I'd be really interested in your experiences/ results with it as that will be the bulk of what I'll be doing with it in the next few months.

I've looked at those, Robo Coupe, and Bamix. I can get the Bamix from a company that I like doing business with. I don't know anyone who used a smaller size immersion blender in a commercial setting so I can't get any advice there. I take it you're happy with your unit.

That sounds like a Bamix. Was the shaft permanently attached, but the cutters were removable? What you are describing is pretty much exactly why I was looking at that brand. Instead of a bell covering the blade the Bamix has 4 prongs as a guard. Even though the wattage ratings are much...

Anyone own one of these? I have questions. I have to run now, but wanted to get my question out there. Thanks. I have no idea why it's italicized, it won't go away...

Has anyone bought or used one the current versions on the market, the DLC-10SYP1 ? I've searched reviews, but they aren't helpful for what I want to use it for. Buying on line and not seeing it first is my only option. I only want it to use it with the S blade, and the flat cover ( if it...

Thanks Aunt Bea. That brought back some memories.

Stainless steel steam table insert pans. Restaurants often use them as baking pans. Available in various depths, I think 2 1/2" is the most shallow.

I certainly do. Too bad the price isn't visible, then I could narrow down the year. I first saw it at 39 cents/ pound.

In addition to all the uses above, the one I have also makes a perfect cast iron lid for my cast iron frying pan. I can use them like a small dutch oven for braising and roasting.

For breakfast this morning I had a bowl of left-overs, oat groats and onion soup. Very good and very satisfying on such a cold damp morning.

The Rada chef's knife is one of my most recommended knives to people who are just looking for an easy to maintain, inexpensive knife. It works as well as most of the people I know want. I use it most often for the one quick job. If we have company I and the guest wants to be in the kitchen...

A Victorinox knife safe is another option. It's a snap open rigid knife case.

Spirulina noodles. Not enough printable words to describe that. On the other hand, I love most all those hated greens, and all the cruciferous veggies too.

I believe it's a take off on The Creature From The Black Lagoon and he's seeing him off so he can get back at all those people who eat frog legs. Could also be a proud parent sending off their pride n joy to take on the world-- probably all of that stuff all rolled into one. Doesn't do...

I was 24 and I can tell you the exact date, not so much because of the gray hair, but it was the 21st anniversary of my Mother's passing. That made it seem quite odd and a touch unsettling. Other than that it didn't bother me much.

When roasting a duck I'd make a rack of celery to put the duck on. First time was because I didn't have a rack and there after it was because it was absolutely delicious. I eat it daily sliced up for extra crunch in my salads and use it in making soups.

I have this one for grating nutmeg. Microplane Manual Spice Mill. Currently $21 on Amazon. Works really well, we use it almost everyday. Doesn't have a catch cup and the top part is kept on by gravity. Never had any issues with it clogging up. The top part is the pestle and it also acts...

I addition to some of the tools already mentioned, I have a small pair of tin snips that I use to open heavy hard plastic packaging, to cut up plastic packaging (like the jars peanuts come in) and the occasional can that I use that has a bottom that can not be opened normally. I have no...

I bought an All Clad 3qt saute pan with lid in a thrift store for $7.98. I got it in '08 or '09. The interior coating was badly damaged and the exterior of the pan was in pretty rough shape with many gouges and scrapes. I started with with oven cleaner to remove a majority of the teflon...

That's an idea. Thank you.

Pretty much my experience. Thanks for the reply.
