Finally ordered an Instant Pot.
Found the 8qt on Walmart's website for $59. Last one at this location. Seemed like too good of a deal to pass up.
Also,
Grilled turkey with some stuffing, melted sharp cheddar + swiss on top in the pan, added to toasted praire honey wheat bread/cran relish/mayo/mustard/gravy
amoeba, those look great. How long do they have to steam?
Does daikon radish really help to tenderize abalone when used during cooking process?
I am out of the country currently, I can ask my wife later.
I haven't used the daikon trick with abalone but I also use fairly small abalone which comes out very tender after
15 to 20 minutes of a simmer. Key is they must be live prior to cooking. I also trim off the rubbery lip. The Cantonese way of cooking dried abalone is a labor intensive multi day process.
Just got back from NYC and had some amazing food, would everyone like me to post a mini trip report or is that out of bounds for the purposes of this thread?
Here's a teaser:
Went to Katz's Deli of Harry Met Sally acclaim:
After the getting the Pastrami on rye, I now know what she had
AND OMFG!!!!!!!!
I made the pastrami at a restaurant for a couple of years and thought it was pretty good, but Katz's was mind-glowingly outstanding. I'm now on a mission to figure out how the hell they do what they do.
We sat 3 feet from the table where the orgasm scene posted above was shot:
The place was packed at 1 pm:
I could have eaten 2 pounds of this glorious meat:
needless to say if you ever find yourself in NYC, you'd be a fool not to make a stop at Katz's Deli and get a pastrami sammie.
I’ll be smoking my brined brisket point (gonna be close to a 3 week brine) this weekend. I really have to try beef navel, which is what Katz’s uses. From Thanksgiving, here were my Pastrami brisket flat slices before Instant Pot steaming. My family tore them up:
