    Sous Vide + WSK

    Below are pictures of my sous vide setup, I repurposed a canning pot. Inside is a 14.2# ham that I heated to 100 deg. F for 90 minutes and finished on the grill in a oven bag until the internal temp reached 100 deg. F. The ham always comes out juicy, never dry.

    Thinking About Espresso

    I store the unopened bags only in the freezer, once opened then I put the bag near my coffee machine which gets used up fairly quickly (within a couple weeks). I have a vacuum sealer (for my hops) but I didn't notice any loss of freshness to attempt to vacuum seal and re-freeze my coffee beans...

    Thinking About Espresso

    I store my whole beans in the freezer until I need to open another bag. I prefer the 2.2# bags as there are 3 heavy coffee/espresso drinkers in my household.

    Thinking About Espresso

    According to their website: This dark roast blend is named after, Porte des Morts, a narrow strait located between the tip of Door County and Washington Island, that was known to be very dangerous passage for sailors many years ago, earning the name Death’s Door.

    Thinking About Espresso

    I recently went through a bag of Death's Door whole bean coffee in my Miele, I highly recommend this coffee. I purchased a 32oz bag from the Costco in Kenosha WI a while back but noticed that it is available for purchase in the 5# bag on the link above.

    Thinking About Espresso

    Pre-heating the milk in a microwave for 40 seconds did the trick, much hotter cappuccion's in my Mukka Express.

    Thinking About Espresso

    With the cold milk in the top chamber brings down the temperature of the cappuccino. I could warm the milk up which should help. The frothing on the Mukka Express is automatic and occurs shortly after the espresso enters into the upper chamber unlike frothing on a manual espresso machine where...

    Thinking About Espresso

    I pulled out my Mukka Express today, it was a limited edition sold by Williams Sonoma. I makes a smooth cappuccino but not hot enough for my liking. I can also make latte's.

    My restored 20 year old Dacor Gas Range

    I was abserving the oven on my Dacor range and noticed that it is a reverse flow exhaust for the oven. The hot air from the gas combustion goes up a flew in the center of the range (in between the burners). Air is drawn in from the horizontal vent in (in the back rear) and from the front (at...

    My restored 20 year old Dacor Gas Range

    Good reason to keep it, per Wolf's website the new ranges have 3 of the same size burner and 1 smaller one, none of them are dual burner.

    My restored 20 year old Dacor Gas Range

    My brother use to work for a company that made gas valves for ranges. He would test the valves for various ovens and told me the same. The self-clean cycle gets the oven temps so hot that it distorts the metal. I never used a self-clean cycle, I place foil on the bottom of the oven and use...

    Thinking About Espresso

    Back to the original post, I would check to see if there are parts available to "rebuild" the unit which mainly consists of screens and gaskets. Which if available the machine will last for a longer time as opposed to a throw away unit. As for the pricing, it wouldn't hurt to politely ask if...

    My restored 20 year old Dacor Gas Range

    The equivalent new Dacor range cost $4,500 (same price as 20 years ago) and is approximately 100 lbs lighter. What I do not like about the newer gas ranges (including Viking, Wolf and most others) is that they decide which burners are smaller and which ones are larger. The older ranges had the...
