Cooking in rotation, warming up is your biggest issue. I have cooked in advance, vac sealed and then used a cooler as a giant sous vide so everything was warmed and held prior to service, but I have only used that with a few butts and briskets. The advantage is you can open packages as needed...

Number of sides and appetizers will factor in on quantity. Lots of small kids or football team ;)

Just treat it like armadillo

Tanks!

Is there a percentage of instant yeast you recommend?

Been traveling a bunch, so baking less. I have gone to a refrigerator starter. When feeding, I pour it out and then just add 50-100grams water and flour. Had to switch to non overthinking;). Typically 10g of rye in mix. By second feeding it is usually close to tripling. Thinking of starting...

Yes, fresh blueberries and blackberries. I didn’t cook them first.

Absolutely, My cinnamon bread never tastes like cinnamon. This one was a normal and a chocolate dough with cinnamon in between.

My 10yr old poopers racks are tight enough that i can barely fit butts under the second rack. Butts on the top need to be small or they will hit the sides. Been looking for something with more room for a while. Mine is 1100, but the spacing impacts the usability. We do a bunch of bulk...

Thanks! I did my standard focaccia recipe mix. 80% hydration, 20 grams olive oil in mix after initial autolyse. This was 350g of flour. Around 100g starter. Only sugar was a bit of sugar (1-1/2 raw sugar packets) cinnamon and flour tossed with the berries, some 1/4” cubed butter also...

I don’t have near that much space between my upper and lower racks. Looks pretty nice.

Out in the camper and tried a desert focaccia. Berries are epic right now. Now my inclusion distribution sucks, but…. Clearly the better half took the pic. She says more butter on top next time ;). Sourdough starter, mixed berries a bit early and just let it rise overnight. In the oven this am.

Never had luck with the Encore for espresso, everything else, absolutely. Picked up a used Sette270. Other than sounding like a wood chipper, it is fantastic for espresso.

So this. The vertical spacing on almost all these cookers are just cloned off. If I can’t put butts on every shelf, its just wrong ;)

That size is appealing. Looking forward to a report
