    RFX App update?

    This is a thread that should be on going for the many that got crap being in the Beta or starter release. Pretty silent. Is that good news? Who still has problems and lousy battery life? The warranty for a year with probes is expiring. Two years for the gateway but the Thermapen is five years.

    ThermoWorks RFX - 2 Probe Review

    Still to date the on going theme with reviews that aren't the manufacturer's are the batteries in the gateway and the probes. I'll get the G2 ThermoMaven by Typhur per this ad below and other independent reviews including rfx.

    Use Kroger coupons and coupons from the Kroger family of stores from nation wide weekly ad digital coupons at your local Kroger

    Me to, creating food deserts for people relying on public transportation. These were also the highest in theft. The last location was to close 8.2.25 but closed early 7.23.25. Kroger said it was due to quick inventory sell off but locally it's reported as theft.

    Several new hot sauce ferments processed

    You can always cover veggies in a brine with a specific percentage 1ml water=1gm. 4% =40gms salt in 1,000ml (1 liter) water or whatever volume/weight water x .04 to get grams of salt but the true brine % is adding the weight of the salt to the weight of the water so 40grams salt/1040 grams salt...

    Electric Smoker Temperature Controller

    I'd first work with the member that sold you the PID on go to settings he uses. If your'e having to wait to get to set temp but holds fine when it gets there I bump temp up 30 degrees and reset temp when it gets there pre heating, when food is put in or if you have to open the door. I figured...

    Jalapeno oddities?

    I've never heard of two strains (2 yellow and 14 green from one pepper pod) like you described. Especially since peppers and tomatoes are self pollinating with a breeze or a pollinator. First come first served. So self pollinated from a flower's Stamen to Pistil same strain in the seeds for...

    What Is Sous Vide? Chefs Explain, and Reveal Whether It’s a Worthy Investment

    Nothing wrong with a frozen solid steak, but it has it's opportunity cost of not pre rest dry brining. Same with a frozen solid turkey that takes 50% longer and taking out the giblet bag after an hour, then season the bird. A steak frozen solid on Thermoworks with Kenji Alt Lopez said direct...

    First hot sauce of the season.

    Tiny bubbles up top. The carbs in the lemon juice may feed Lactobacillus a little. I have 2 PH meters with all the calibrating buffers. It's not necessary for me because I do one year ferments for hot sauce at 65* and FDA is 4.6 or .85 water activity or lower for room temp stable after...
