re: Knives for Christmas - AUHighPlainsDrifter
[quote]6 piece Wusthof set for $280[/quote] Can't say I'm a big fan of the handle on the Wusthof Classic series, but that is a good deal. I bought a similar set of their Grand Prix series about 25 years ago for a couple hundred bucks and have never regretted it. I've added a few knives to the set...

re: Making real Mac and cheese for the first time for Thanksgiving. Give me your recipe - AUHighPlainsDrifter
I usually make [link=(https://modernistcuisine.com/recipes/silky-smooth-macaroni-and-cheese/)]this one.[/link] It uses sodium citrate for the emulsifier, instead of a bechamel sauce that dilutes the cheese flavor. If you like a strong cheese flavor, give it a try sometime. [img]https://media.ten...

re: Does anyone here have a comal? - AUHighPlainsDrifter
Eight Deuce, I need to find me one of those to add to my cast iron collection (which ain't much of one). I use a 12" cast iron skillet for most of my cooking. I do like the idea of one of these comals though. I like the utility of that convex shape. Doubt I'll buy one, my cabinets are already to...

[quote]My worry about this gravity fed type is that I won’t be able to control the heat very long overnight. How long does that last if I fill it up?

re: Are Butterball turkeys worth the extra cost? - AUHighPlainsDrifter
[quote]While hitting the bottle on the bottom usually works faster tapping it on the neck (which happens to be where the raised 57 is) is the most controllable because you can avoid causing too large of a shear fracture.
