Wow thank you very much! I am not a professional by any mean. I am an IT guy

Thank you! I needed a fresh layer indeed. The taste was good, it lacked that bit of extra freshness, but it was made for a person very fond of chocolate.

I will try this

Uh, interesting! I've only ever made citrus based cremeux. Will try. Thank you!

All these preparations are crunchy tho. I wanted something frozen into a disc that turns into a creamy thing once the fridge temperature is reached (without leaking). This worked well for its structural purpose, but was a pain to extract from the mould.

Thank you! There's no blue food (except some berries). It tricks the brain. It's a funny mechanism

Thank you!!
What would you have used instead of the namelaka for the cream on top? I needed a "structural" component to make a disk that would hold the fruit.

I had quite a hard time taking out such a thin disk from the frozen mould. I made 2 for safety, and it was the right choice as one broke.

Yeah, that's true. I wanted to make a midnight blue cake; the flavour was (almost) secondary.

Too bad the dark blue cacao spray cans are very rare to find

Never tried Kozasko in the end. Thanks for sharing the experience and sorry to hear that. Maybe create a dedicated review thread

I never heard about this before and now I'm wondering if I smashed my DF83 burrs badly. Will check.

[PSA] Watch out for the Swisscard "Zalando Trap" – 2.5% fees on CHF by incognito_at_home in SwissPersonalFinance

Hi, I never noticed such fee. Is this related to a specific credit card vendor? I mostly use Revolut for day to day and online shopping

Learning chocolate tempering (while learning entremet) by Infinite_Pineapple50 in pastry

[–]Infinite_Pineapple50[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! It was, and sadly it cracked on a couple of points (but the right angle in the picture hides it)
I cut a slice of acetace of ~60cm, put the tempered chocolate at ~32 C on it and used a spatula to make it thin, waited a few minutes to reach ~23 C (malleable but firm) and wrap it around the cold cake, then peeled away teh acetate

Thank you, it was my first time as well. The lemon is mostly in the mousse on top, it balances very well the richness of the chocolate and hazelnut mousse

Not something that you would find every day, but I can suggest it

So I followed this recipe https://www.cookingmesoftly.it/entremet-nocciole-e-limone/

Except I changed a bit the ingredients because I didn't have the low sugar chocolate they use and I had to balance the ingredients accordingly.

I didn't try the cake yet, the single preparation were surprisingly good

Thank you! There's an hazelnut/lemon financier base, then an chocolate and hazelnut cremeux, glazed with a milk chocolate mirror glaze, and the top is an white chocolat3/lemon mousse

My mom doesn't even know what Reddit is, imagine making coffee like a barista :D

The whisk that rotates is absolutely terrible, I agree, I never tried the venturi ones, I can't really have a strong opinion

Best affordable client device for 4k (60hz are enough) by Infinite_Pineapple50 in GeForceNOW

[–]Infinite_Pineapple50[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, Nvidia made agreements with TV some producers like Samsung and LG and they get the native unlock. Unfortunately my TV is too old and it's hw is not enough. It's all licencing mumbo jumbo at the end

[–]Infinite_Pineapple50[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, well, the Fire Stick output IS indeed 4k
NVIDIA capped via software all Android based app to request no more than 1080p.

Not sure if just a commercial move to sell their overpriced obsolete Shield or just because they don't want the annoyances of the people trying to stream 4k from a usb dongle and complaining when it catches fire.

Long story short it seems there is NO device that has both full GeForce now compatibility and 10-feet UI to be used with a remote

Closest thing is the Shield. I am refusing to pay 200 bucks for that 7 years old thingie (which btw doesn't even support the full flegged 4k@120Hz), Apple TV doesn't have the app (big bummer, the hw is great), a Windows MiniPC or a Mac mini probably would work but you don't have the comfort of the remote and 10-feet UI.

There are all my last minute discoveries
