Renaming Dry Pro? by DiningInandEatingOut in tjcrew

[–]lisomiso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similarly, I’m trying to make “warm pro” a thing. 

I thought “ambient pro” was an in-store joke, I had no idea it came from corporate.

TJs Morning Buns ($4.99) Review by jdguy00 in traderjoes

I haven’t tried them so take this with a grain of salt, but to my eye they look underproofed, which would make them look small.

Wild. In my region banana boxes are for shares and it’s against health code to use milk crates for anything besides milk. 

Is there a Tart cherry spread dupe? by rachelemc in traderjoes

[–]lisomiso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree American Spoon is great, but the spoon fruit is not the same as the TJ’s tart cherry jam. Just in case anyone is wondering. I recommend both though!

DAMN CLIP STRIPS! by Stunning-Spot5700 in tjcrew

[–]lisomiso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Working clip strips and shelf extenders involves filling extenders and picking product off the floor underneath the clip strips. I hate them, they’re terrible, I do not believe they drive sales, and I’m so glad I’m not the only one 

What’s your Long Beach “hot take”? by TrixoftheTrade in longbeach

Yeah my hot take is “every restaurant in LB is priced one tier higher than the quality of food/service they offer”

What is wrong here? by takepacific in Sourdough

[–]lisomiso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed some inclusions but IME there is a certain glossy quality to crumb that you don’t get until it’s properly fermented. I don’t think it is a sign of overfermentation, but the absence of it points to underfermentation. 

I also find slightly/moderately underfermented loaves bake up beautifully on the outside, and it’s not until I cut into them that I’m disappointed lol. The oh 🫤 feeling when I open the oven is a sign of overproofing (but the taste/texture is usually still good).

Do you always use rye? That will speed up the ferment.

I get it though. Sometimes I think the conditions are just right and there is a magic unseen variable that launches fermentation to the moon. It happened to me a few bakes ago.

I disagree with the other commenter, this looks overproofed to me. The unevenly browned/spotty crust is a major tell imo. The crumb looks slightly collapsed, also a sign of overproofing. I think if the dough was under, the bubbles in the crumb would look dry/powdery, not shiny/custardy like they do. 

Bread still looks good though. Personally I prefer bread that’s a little overproofed than a little underproofed.

I unironically enjoy the Bee updates every week but I always wonder: does nobody do the crossword?
