    Anova Precision Cooker - Sous Vide

    I use different containers now for different cooks but my favorite is my Coleman cooler. I can load it with water and ice, put the vacuum sealed meat in the water. I monitor the ice bath all day until I am ready to start the cook. The ice bath keeps it below 40º usually between 33º - 35º...

    Anova Precision Cooker - Sous Vide

    I got 250 of the little balls. They work pretty well for a cover.

    Let's Talk TV

    DVR isn't available where I live. Low budget municipal owned cable company and worse, I am outside of the city limits. We get everything last. I bought an HDhomerun and set up a Plex server on an old computer. I love it.

    Now that is something that I had not considered but will be very careful.

    Sous Vide for less than $30?

    Yes, I also paid far more than $29 for my Anova. I love mine. I have used it for pork chops, steak, chicken, and bacon. The Joule app gave me the idea to put bacon in for an overnight cook or longer. Due to some scheduling issues we wound up making it a 36 hour cook. We seared one side as...

    Sous Vide for less than $30?

    I came across a sous vide immersion precision cooker for $29 on Amazon. Is it any good? I do not know until mine arrives in two days. I am not an affiliate nor am I selling them. Just sharing a $29 deal that I found. Remember that Amazon has a 30 return policy, this is a fulfilled by Amazon...

    Was buying a breadmaker a good idea?

    Oh, the carbs. I can’t have a bread maker in the house. I do not have that much willpower. The smell of fresh bread in the house, is to die for... (I stole that line from my teenage daughter.) Bread machines are worth every penny. The recipes you will try are going to cause you to enjoy...

    Slow Cooker Question

    That’s a big cooker. We have an assortment but my favorite is this 6 quart that has WiFi. The programs often exceed 8 hours. Maybe use two? http://www.walmart.com/ip/BLACK-DECKER-WiFi-Enabled-6-Quart-Slow-Cooker-Only-at-Walmart-WIFI-Slow-Cooker-SCW3000S/128745799

    ISO: Aquaponics

    We have two Aerogardens and love them. When it comes to time to move the plants to the greenhouse we get exited because we can pick what to grow next.

    When it was just me cooking for myself an d two little girls, too often I got outvoted and we ate out. Now I’m cooking for a family. And I love it.

    We have a single induction burner. We use it for cooking on the island when we do not want to tie up the stove.

    Onions and hamburgers

    I would like to make a perfect copy of a fast food restaurant hamburger just to be able to do it. It's not something that I would cook and serve at my house often but if I could do one of those taste tests where the kids have to determine which is the Daddy Burger and which is from McDonalds...

    He Who has the Most Toys...

    I love toys. I love cooking. Put the two together. I like cooking with a cord. The kids just roll their eyes when they see the results of my cooking and plating. They sure don't seem to complain as they are eating it.

    He Who has the Most Toys...

    I have the Ninja Mega Kitchen System 1500. Not long after I bought it, I see they came out with the 1800 watt upgrade. :wacko: Mine isn't getting the workout that it deserves because I also have a bullet type that I use for making my bulletproof coffee.

    My laptop is bulging!

    The PC vs Mac has been a longtime dispute in our house, too. Think Geek wrote about swelling batteries. Overcharging and age were two of the most common issues that led to swelling. And yes, it can happen to Macs, too. I had a 2007 MacBook that had battery swell. Of course the battery was...

    Simply Indulgent Gourmet Salted Caramel Pretzel Cookies review....

    More in the box is always better but I was thinking of the carbs. I so need a cheat day. Chocolate covered pretzels? Even better white chocolate covered pretzels. Okay, now you have made me want pretzel cookies.

    My laptop is bulging!

    You can fix everything that is wrong with that Acer if you go to the Apple Store. There is probably one in your nearest mall. Once you go Mac, you won't go back but if you do decide macOS isn't for you, a MacBook can run Windows just fine. Did I mention the ten hours of battery life? This...
