All corned beef in the stores are not alike. Some are flats, some are points. Some injected, others not. Some are tenderized, others not. A flat, non-injected, non-tenderized corned beef is your best bet, but will cost more than others. I have seen whole briskets prepped as corned beef. Best...

There are two types of microwave ovens. Inverter and regular. The difference is the electricity is converted into microwaves to heat the food - http://www.thehomemantra.com/kitchen/appliances/what-is-the-difference-between-an-inverter-microwave-and-a-regular-microwave/ On high heat both supply...

We used the dishwasher pods (for convenience) for 6 months and got mediocre results. Started using liquid out of the bottle - bazinga! sparkling clean dishes. So... if using pods, give the liquid a try to see if makes a difference. Russell

Interesting. With a waterproof cover when condensation forms, there is no place for it to go. With a water resistant cover, over time the moisture can escape. This site recommends breathable (water resistant) covers. https://www.the-cover-store.com/waterproof-covers Russell

"What do you think? Am I wrong or too careful?" Temperature recommendations are made with the idea that the all of the "bad stuff" will be gone at that temperature. The time/temperature charts are designed with the idea that if meat is held at a specific temperature for a length of time, all of...

Yes. Useful for freezing leftovers (my mom reheats in a pan of water and pours it over rice). Useful for Sous Vide (rolls from Amazon are within reason, baggie/water displacement too much work for me). I buy a whole rib eye, age it, cut it up and freeze dinner portions. Russell

Smash your burger within 30 seconds of placing it on the griddle and you will retain your juices. https://aht.seriouseats.com/2012/09/the-burger-lab-smashed-burgers-vs-smashing-burgers.html Russell
