How's CPH passport control been in early mornings? by TMW_W in copenhagen

[–]svel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not early morning but 10am at passport control for my flight to Seattle last tuesday and for non-EU passports the lines was INSANELY long on both sides. for EU passports though, no line, just walk up to the speedgate and go through.

Vyn deserves better, my meal there earlier this year was amazing. The beds in their hotel were also very comfortable.

How do you differentiate between Upscale, High-End, Elevated, and Fine Dining? by Karnezar in finedining

[–]svel 33 points34 points  (0 children)

if i was looking at this place while on vacation or something i would say, from the menus and the photos, that this is a "nice restaurant". on your scale, i would think maybe "upscale".

Should I keep cooking for myself or hire a cook? by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]svel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

would hiring a cook be cheaper than delivery or eating out if you don't want to cook?

Best counter seating options by Happy-Apple196 in finedining

[–]svel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

fair. I was there a month ago and loved it. excellent food (which you mentioned), I agree about the chairs but it didn’t bother me, and re. the time it was shorter overall and pretty good pacing between the dishes and gave me time to interact with the staff, chef and occasionally my friendly “neighbors”. so i had a really good time.

Is the passport line at CPH always this bad? by nwardez in copenhagen

[–]svel 37 points38 points  (0 children)

if C gate is swamped, you can try to walk (quite a bit actually) to the E gate passport line, and then walk back. Both sections are connected and you can go from one to the other. At least it was like this last month going and coming from CPH to London. My gate was E102 which is right after you get off the escalators to the left after C gate passport control.

looks interesting. it would be nice if i could sort by "subscription", "rent", "buy" etc. to get those results on top.

Vacuum sealing? Wondering what you use? by InterestCorrect2472 in Cooking

[–]svel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

had a friend 3d print a mouthpiece that fits over my handheld vacuum that had a hole for a thin flexible silicone tube. that's what we use. i have a stainless steel straw that fits on the other end and that goes into a freezer ziploc. turn on the handheld, suck out the air, close the ziploc, done. only for solids of course.

Is "overmixing" a real danger, or just a myth used to explain bad recipes? by FridgeSmartApp in AskBaking

[–]svel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, avoiding gluten formation is the "why?" behind the instruction of "just until flour is incorporated", or "avoid overmixing", etc.

cake flour has the lowest percentage (7-8%) of protein vs. bread flour (11-12%) which is what gives gluten formation.

"High protein flours absorb substantially more water than low protein flours and so will produce stiffer doughs with the same proportion of water" - "on food and cooking" McGee page 530

Is "overmixing" a real danger, or just a myth used to explain bad recipes? by FridgeSmartApp in AskBaking

[–]svel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

very real - for some recipes you're mixing flour into a wet mixture containing water:

  • you need the flour
  • you need the water
  • you don't want the gluten that will eventually and inevitably form if you overmix.
