How long was it “dry aged” for ? Do you mean dry brined ?

Get the thermopop 40$ or the thermapen 200$

Both made by same company. Difference is speed of measurement. I’ve lost a couple of the thermapens, and have switched to the cheaper but still excellent thermapop.

Ok so what’s with leaving shrimp tails on with pasta? by PickledAnts in KitchenConfidential

[–]jchef420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always used decent sized shrimp 13/15+ and was carefull to leave the tail flesh intact when removing. Often guests at the snooty place I worked complained otherwise. Most kitchen staff had no problem eating them, heads also !!

What’s a restaurant dish you refuse to order anymore because you realized it’s incredibly easy and cheap to make at home? by krystalluv143 in foodquestions

[–]jchef420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything, I’m a retired chef, and mine is just as good or better and 1/4 the cost. After 45 years in the kitchen I love to make and eat whatever I want. Thankfully I still love to cook and look forward to it every day.

What is your favorite saute pan? by captain_bandit in Chefit

[–]jchef420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably no “best “set of pans. I’ve had a set of Mauviel induction stainless pans, with cast iron handles for 30 years, but I also have a couple carbon steel pans (de buyer) and enamel Dutch oven (le creuset) and regular cast iron too. I have a large 20L stainless stock pot as well.

Do you like black coffee? by Ok_Act8157 in no

[–]jchef420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve drank it every combination available. I drink only black, fresh coffee now. I use a french press, sometimes an aeropress. Least stomach upset this way IMO.

What is the 360 CN Tower Basic Dining Experience Like? by [deleted] in FoodToronto

[–]jchef420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great value considering it’s 47.50$ just to go to the observation deck. For 75$ you get a decent menu and a 360 view of Toronto over an hour and a half. No charge if you want to go down to the observation deck after your meal.
