You absolutely can run it all day, or for multiple days. The only issue about which to be concerned is evaporation. Doing a long cook, even though you’re below 212°, some of the liquid in the bath will evaporate. That’s why Claire covered her bath with plastic wrap (see 5th pic). Plastic wrap (or a lid with a hole for…

Well, skim milk is (supposed to be) fat free, so it sounds like skim wouldn’t work at all. Likewise, fat-free half and half. Go with whole milk.

She hinted at it here:

At this point I’m afraid there’s little more I can add to the story. I’ve brought you the facts.

I thought a salamander was basically just an adjustable-height broiler. Using the Food Network ‘hack’, you’re basically branding the brulee, like you would a cow. Given that, I think cast iron would work much better because it would retain the heat much longer. The sugar sticking to the heat implement still would be a…

Sorry, but your shoelace analogy is crap. A more apt analogy would be posts about smartphones. If you’re not a smartphone user or someone interested in them, you might think: ‘Do we really need 100s of posts about what an iPhone/Android can do? It’s a smartphone. You can use it to call someone and to go on the…

Well, the first question always is, “will it?” — because if it won’t, then ‘should’ is moot. But Claire usually (always?) answers the ‘should’ question after the ‘will’ question.

With all due respect:

My first thought was to put a ‘biner through the ‘pig snout’. The ‘biner with tie would add welcome functionality.

If it isn’t pork, it isn’t bacon. The law should require any such non-pork product to be called ‘bakon’, or otherwise the word ‘bacon’ loses all meaning.

I saw them in ‘95 when they toured with the Stank Beezles — great show, and made out with Laura McMasters afterwards. Good times....

I assume different production standards and health codes, as well as societal customs, to start. Also, if the meat used is high-quality and there is no cross-contamination with other products, the risk should be low. I presume he isn’t buying a bulk pack of 80/20 ground beef at the local Edeka.

Steak tartare is (usually) pretty different from ‘raw hamburger meat’. Tartare is (should be) beef tenderloin (a/k/a filet mignon) that is hand-chopped — not a chuck roast (if you’re lucky) that is machine-ground with a multitude of different cuts of unknown derivation. So, if you get a high-quality cut of beef and…

Still, having Clinton lose to Trump was the best thing to happen to the Democratic Party.

If your vote for not-Hillary was to“send a message” to the Dems because you want them to get better/more connected/more progressive:

That sounds delicious. Hatch, I presume? And do you do anything to the chile before stuffing in the burger? Maybe roast it, or at least take off the skin?

The problem is, for the most part, the ONLY Christians one hears from in the political realm are those who use their religion (1) as a shield to discriminate against the ‘others’ (whether it’s LGBTQ, Muslims, Jews, African Americans, etc.), or (2) as a sword to impose their views on others (e.g., anti-choice). While I…

Agreed. I don’t answer numbers I don’t recognize, so the only way to know if they’re real or not is to search them in Mr. Number or wait to see if they leave a VM (and then check the VM). With no VM, I’d have to answer every call — or miss calls I actually do want to get.

Good lord, you’re a fucking moron. No, that’s not remotely what I wrote. Maybe when you’re laid off from your union position, the local can pay for reading comprehension classes for you.
