I’m hanging with Offal all week! Cooked a 4+lb tongue and we’re gonna be inseparable. Carnita Jiménez is also staying with us. Ah, the fun...

Be careful going to the Whole Foods

Everything but.

Tongue. Do it.

You must have made that mistake a brazilian times

For sure, beef tongue.

TONGUE.

Time for the beef tongue!

I really hope so, Faz. I really do.

tongue would be awesome but right after calamari it will turn away the squeamish

Take the skin off! You can do it by hand if you’re using canned. If you're using dried, you can boil the beans with baking soda to exfoliate the skin off once they’re cooked.

The best thing I ever did to keep my produce fresher longer was to buy a reusable air conditioner filter and trim it to fit the bottom of the crisper tray. It keeps the food elevated and allows airflow underneath it.

Then maybe you guys should stop advertising them every few days.

When I die I want to go quietly in my sleep, like Grandpa, not screaming in terror like the people in his car.

Oliso, yes. (Sorry; my phone appears to be auto-correcting that word.) I bought mine on Amazon. I have not had any reliability issues with it at all. Never had any leakage with wet or marinated foods, either. I read some of the negative Amazon reviews before I bought it, but have not had the problems mentioned.

The Olio has different modes for liquid & dry, and they seem to vary the level of suction a bit. If you choose liquid, it shuts off sooner when it hits resistance than it would for dry. Works pretty well. I am sure that the VacMaster does it much better, of course, but the Olio still trumps a Foodsaver.
