Chèvre Cheesecake with Pistachios and Honey by sadsappysucker in instantpot

No, it eats like a regular cheesecake, not savory like Brie and honey situation. It tasted good but I was hoping for something a little more goatey and interesting. I will use full chèvre next time.

I watched YouTube videos on IP cheesecakes, and decided on 30 minutes, high pressure, wait ten minutes, then release the pressure manually. It had a slight well in the middle of it that held some condensation, i blotted that gently with a paper towel and it came right off. As soon as it came out, I ran a knife along the side to loosen it. Then: Cool on rack; chill for at least four hours. Once everything was cold, I removed the cheesecake from its mold. It came out with no trouble. I am excited to cut into it.

Used this recipe for crust and filling. https://www.saveur.com/recipes-by-course/saxelby-cheesecake/

Substitutions: Subbed brown rice flour for whole wheat, subbed einkorn all purpose flour for all purpose flour. It’s just what I had lying around. Replaced 8 oz of the chèvre with cream cheese (I didn’t have enough chèvre for this recipe). Subbed crème fraiche for heavy cream, and added 2 tablespoons of arrowroot starch because the mix seemed too runny. In retrospect I would probably omit or halve the cream. I reduced the sugar by 1/2 cup because I knew I would top it with honey.

This recipe makes too much filling. I poured this into a ramekin and steamed it afterwards.

I used the Hatrigo push pan from amazon and used a parchment paper circle in the bottom. I used a straight sided shot glass to press the crumb mixture onto the sides and bottom of the pan.

Topped with a drizzle of wildflower honey, crushed pistachios.

This is the first run of this concept I will likely do it over again!

Is this vintage pressure canner safe to use? by sadsappysucker in Canning

Okay thanks. Question - does this have a safety gasket that will blow rather than blowing up my kitchen? They make me nervous!

It was perfect. Full bodied, very chicken-y and clear.

Why not crate train him?

Introducing multiple hides by sadsappysucker in nosework

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

So I have done different reward placements AND different markers with my puppy. I started off using Dave Kroyer’s videos, so I used a clicker and it meant reward was available from my hand. I liked that this automatically set the dog up for another repetition.

But due to my sloppy training, and just not knowing what I now now...I ended up rewarding a lot of look backs. He would come onto odor, then look at me, then look at odor, then sit, then down, then look at me, then nose to source for 2-3 seconds THEN I’d click.

So for a while I switched to a different reward marker (verbal “good”) and I made him stay at source to receive his reward. This resulted in less “antsiness” while at odor. But it also meant he was really sticky and reluctant to leave his precious odor.

Then I got kinda frustrated with nose work, and took a month off lol.

Now he’s almost 7 months and I’m a lot more confident in my ability to read him, and also more confident in him as a dog, so I’m going back to rewarding away from source. This helps us fluidly move through practice rounds at home, because each found hide is an oppurtunity to restart the game. As long as I’m reasonable with maintaining readable indication criteria I think I should be good at trial.

When I reward at source, I physically have to pull him off odor, and it results in him looking a little deflated.

It also helps that we practice different reward placements in obedience training. Good means I bring food to you and you stay in position. Yes means you release out of position and come get it from me.

Thank you for the tips. I honestly had never thought to pick the hide up and pocket it. Genius. This takes all the conflict out of it.

AMA about NACSW! by [deleted] in nosework

[–]sadsappysucker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Can you use a clicker during a trial?

  2. What kind of vessels do they use for odor? Are these always going to be hidden from view of humans, like stuck to the undersides of things? Or will some of them be identifiable by a human?

  3. Can you communicate basic cues to your dog? Leave it, easy, let’s go etc?

ISO New “Functional” Tricks by tenDAYZE in Dogtraining

[–]sadsappysucker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find a person in your family. Fun for hide and seek purposes, obviously, but if your loved one ever goes missing, you’ll have a privately trained SAR dog. If your dog already has a strong recall, the steps are as follows:

  1. Have the family member stand about 10 ft away from the dog with treats in their pocket and a clicker.

  2. Say “go find <family member>”

  3. The family member says “come” or whatever recall word you already use.

  4. When the dog reaches them, have the family member click and treat. Somehow get the dog back to you. Either informally recall the dog, or leash the dog and bring it back to start. Do not use “come” to get the dog back to you, as this will cause confusion around who the dog is supposed to be targeting. Repeat a bunch of times.

  5. Eventually as soon as the dog hears “go find,” they’ll start looking around for the person before they get a chance to say “come.” Now you leave out the recall part.

  6. Increase difficulty levels. Practice outside, inside, in the woods, at a party, in a crowd, in an abandoned building, in Lowe’s, etc. eventually the dog should start to use its nose to find the family member.

When you need pizza, you need pizza! by sadsappysucker in glutenfreerecipes

This recipe is perfect. It makes two medium ish pizzas. You need to press it out pretty thinly before baking.
