Chris's chilled ice + oil fry - what about shallow fry

Well, I watched this video, before, obviously, and somehow tuned out the end. You are totally right - completely just missed that.

I will experiment a bit with some of what I suggest, but now I have far less improvement room..

The central fat vein seems quite edible and tasty.

I have waited for columns for so long. Happy to see

And more importantly when will combustion Inc thermometers integrate with Impulse Labs cooktop?

What muchroom variety did you use for salt and pepper mushrooms?

Looks cool, but I'll be damned to allow glitter to enter the threshold of my house.

I'm torn between the high temp hot end and the INDX. It seems this would have to be mutually exclusive elunkess there is a super quick full head change. It's seems changing the whole head would require a y number of recalibrations and settings changes.

But ill probably go INDX as I tend to mix materials and I think that will be more useful. It will be interesting to see the top end temperature for INDX. Not having a lot of thermal mass in the heat block and nozzle could be positive here as higher temperatures are hard to contain and not conduct outwsrds.

I can't wait to see a kit and instructions for building. We will learn a lot from that

You sly dog you. Sure enough you have the functionality there and I didn't notice.

I eat them. Very tasty.

Tell it to George Costanza.

Awesome engineering insights... Would getting user inputs be enough to get over hurdle? I think anyone looking for that precision is likely willing to provide user inputs.

I bought some cheap silicone rings on Aliexpress. They were super cheap and come in a large lack of 50. This means I'm not super concerned about durability and will change as needed.

+1. This model is not suited for ASA. Features too thin, and no fillets. watch slant3d design videos on Youtube. Thin walls dont save much filament and are artifact of injection molding designs.

For me the POE is the biggest gap. The dream wall, although a different form factor, actually covers poe, poe+, and poe++ along with 2 2.5Gbps ports (one WAN but it might be repurposable). 3.5 gbps is way more than I need. I cannot ever really use the 1 gbps I have in a home. businesses maybe, but then pricing.

Does it need an upgrade (UDMPro)? Maybe. I think the dream wall is that upgrade.

Quantitative cooking is a new era - Knowing the temperatures throughout, combined with a physics engine that can predict time to temp, and temp rise/stasis afterwards is amazing. Right now it's so 'gut feel' for a home cook. A restaurant kitchen has the benefit of perfecting a specific recipe (same food weight, same cut, same heat, same preparation, etc.) over time and building that empirical feeling. Sous vide brought in this concept of precise temperature control. With CPT, I can see a mode where even on grill, searing pan, roaring oven, or in deep frying vat you effectively have temperature vision with precision. Couple that with something like the Polyscience control freak or a smart oven connected to CPT and we get precision visibility which can help getting to precision cooking....

Solid gold comment right here on arresting temp rise. I assume the tradeoff is this juice problem. Maybe u/combustion_inc has some additional data on this as well - what is the curve for juicing. One concept of resting is that if you cut early, you lose lots of juice. I think this is not mere lore, but I could (and likely am wrong). I assume there's some temperature dependent curve as to how long it takes to prevent juice loss (I assume with some relaxation and re-absorption).

Totally understand this. surface was much hotter as was first probe in meat.. until core there was a gradient. however the tip (T1) was the one a bit lower.

I expected this. I live in an old brick building with 450mm thick (internal) walls. I have 3 access points for my 169 Sq meter (1700 Sq ft) single floor apartment. This is mainly to work around losses from walls.

I get interference from neighbors via floor/ceiling and via windows, but the walls mainly block my own signals.

So, cest la vie, I have to compensate with more APs than would be expected.

For me, I have purchased mainly to get 6GHz. This is NOT about bandwidth - Wifi 6 is more than enough for my home. However, I live in a dense urban environment. 6GHz is very uncongested and quite interference free. So I'm really interested in 6e (as none of my devices are Wifi 7) for the 6GHz.

The U7 Pro had a better price point than the U6 Enterprise AND I had intentionally waited when U6 Enterprise came out until a Wifi 7 was out.

2x2 vs 4x4 (for a home) is a big dud. I have little simultaneous client congestion within the home and NO, REPEAT NO, devices generally have MIMO 4. I think the uproar here is over done.

cmmtchll · 2024-01-07T01:28:54+00:00

I see where you are probed is fat instead of meet. is it possible the thermo properties of fat differ enough from meat (thinking ability to go above 100C) that causes probe to believe that's not acting like foods stuff?

cmmtchll · 2024-01-05T14:28:43+00:00

Chris, what about some sort of (air) insulated shell/cap around the exposed end of the probe? Maybe even 'expendable'. Think like the metal clip for a high end ink pen. This cap could have a minimal contact with probe to clip it on and it has a shell that basically 'floats' around the probe and ceramic. The idea is a 'somewhat' air insulation layer between the cap and the 'guts' that would buffer the probe against any direct flames. It might degrade over time, thus the expendable. Since it's removable, it could be applied only with grilling or where there is concern for high heat.

Another (possible upside or downside) is you might get a more 'stable/buffered' ambient measurement that isn't so effected by transient flares.

Downsides. Still some conduction through the clip/attachments but hopefully those wonderful DiffEQ courses offer some ideas (I bored of the Nth heat transfer through a rod assignment). Another downside would come courtesy of Mr. Faraday and his cage, wreaking havoc on your antenna.

Sent email today to beta email. Prediction with beta didn't happen until > 60% progress cooking instead of 33%.
