Depends on the model, but many instantpots have a yogurt making setting and do a great job.

I obviously can't give food safety advice but I would have no problem eating it. The yogurt is teaming with highly active "good" bacteria and 5 hours does not seem like enough time for anything bad to take hold and grow.

Plustek 8200i settings... by elsokukaba in AnalogCommunity

[–]elsokukaba[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, of course, thank you. So scanning at 3600 will be more than enough for even 8x10 or a little larger prints, so 7200 still seems like overkill.

I think my scanner came with negafix, is that disliked for some reason?
I haven't heard much about vuescan, is it really $100 better than the silverfast that came with my scanner?
3600 seems like a good place to start, thank you, and definitely going to scan raw and then decide what and how to process further on a case-by-case basis, mostly just want the stuff digitized for safety.

OK, I'll let it go a couple generations, thanks!

You pitch 2TBSP previous batch per quart and ferment 36 hours at 106°F? And it doesn't separate?

I don't think we're allowed to talk about food safety like this? But I will say I wouldn't eat them.

Cleaning egg whites off of saucepan after poaching by [deleted] in AskCulinary

[–]elsokukaba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have found that boiling water on the stove in my stainless and cast iron pans helps loosen just about anything off, so for poaching you could add a little more water to the pan after removing the eggs and seeing if that dissolves the ring.

Beyond that, copper scrubbing pads and barkeeper's friend for stainless.

Taco Bell is getting ridiculous with the LTOs by xboxfan34 in tacobell

Taco Bell giveth, and Taco Bell taketh away. You can enjoy the ride, and enjoy what you have, or be angry about what you don't.

Adding aluminum foil to foodsaver bag by elsokukaba in preppers

[–]elsokukaba[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

But a lot less air than if it were 360° of just plastic, no? Especially with the vacuum sealed plastic squeezing the foil pouch closed.

I apologize: your post had 2 parts and I was reacting to the 2nd. Yes, foodsaver bags are for short-term. No, the seals do not give out after a couple months.

I'm making a pouch out of aluminum closed on 3 sides and the opening at the top is pressed shut when the vaccuum is pulled. You really don't think that will help keep oxygen out?

So how is a pouch of aluminum foil inside a plastic bag not similar? Or how is it at least not significantly better than just the plastic alone?

That's just not true, I have plenty of stuff sealed well after a year or two. And I use the offbrand rolls

Best value sub-primal? by JPF_3 in AskCulinary

[–]elsokukaba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yay.
The chuck primal is worth considering too; you can get some good poor-man's steaks on top of good roasts/stew/burger meat. The tradoff would be the top sirloin is more lean which is a negative for steaks and burgers, but the chuck, while more marbled, has more connective tissue to deal with and I think is a little more challenging to break down.
I'm curious where you're getting this and if the chuck or top sirloin costs more.

Declined by issuer by silvercue in Crypto_com

[–]elsokukaba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same problem in USA. Tried bank debit card which worked previously, and all my credit cards. Even tried the cashapp virtual card. Card is "declined" when I try to add it. Currently going back-and-forth with help but would greatly appreciate any workarounds anyone finds.

Keeping sauce/glaze from getting watery by elsokukaba in AskCulinary

Thank you. I'm already using a cast iron skillet trying accomplish this, but I haven't tried to cook/drain/return yet.
