    If you're on the fence about trying, Sous vide

    I love my Anova sous vide though most use is for making small batches of beer. We use it for reheating foods like vacuum sealed meals like half costco chickens or sliced meatloaf and such. We've made a few steaks like yours, but temp 122 degrees, then into a very hot cast iron frying pan.

    Thank you, I'll go check it! Where is the location of the thermal safety snap disk switch? Is it part of the temperature probe extending into the middle of the cabinet?

    Sorry to bother folks again here, but another problem popped up. Continuity check? Continuity only when touching braid black to braided black, but not either braided black to either smooth black or smooth white. Just put on Supco T1111 Quick Disconnects on the element wires. Cleaned everything...

    Buttermilk

    Store bought commercial buttermilk is a bit thinner than the dairy type buttermilks. Our best dairy near me is Calders dairy which has a better flavor than, say, Krogers or such. I like to let it ferment longer, sometimes 36 hours (our kitchen is cooler in the winter) as it seems to thicken up a...

    Buttermilk

    I didn't notice any difference when making schnitzels, except with venison backstraps. We make a lot of schnitzels, both pork and chicken here, along with fresh homemade brotchen.

    We go through a lot of buttermilk, using it for baking bread every week and other things like pancakes and such.

Read the different articles such as about not having to remove the back, ect... but I guess I never picked up on any wording about it being on the bottom! Well, my ignorance has been recified! A big thank you to those who...
