I researched the best non stick pan for everyday cooking over the past few days because I need a pan that is durable, easy to clean, and great for daily use. I read reviews on The New York Times, Consumer Reports, and Popular Mechanics, and they are marking these two as the best options: HexClad Hybrid Nonstick 10-Inch…
Hi there, I'm making the: Imfoiessible Pâté (Vegan Foie Gras Mousse) | Recipe | ChefSteps On the picture it shows a henessy VS cognac but I would guess that with that much cognac not reduced in the final product a VSOP would have a more milder taste. What style of cognac or brandy do you think is best suited? Also, I…
Hi all, I recently purchased methylcellulose f50 to act as a binder for a textured vegetable protein based patty. When using it as a binder for this purpose (not a liquid) what is the best way to mix it in and how much should I use? I am looking for a springy meat-like texture. Should I hydrate it in water or add as a…
We just got an M7 and I'm blown away by its capabilities. I'm particularly interested in translating some of ChefSteps' techniques (sous vide, precise temperature control, etc.) into Thermomix workflows. Has anyone here done this successfully? I'm wondering about: How you handle the recipe conversion process Whether you've…
Hi there! I've decided that it's worth a bit of a splurge to get an induction cooktop that has pretty high quality temperature monitoring and regulation. Initially, it seemed that the only option for this was the Breville Control Freak. That looks great, but it's also very expensive for just home use. I just came across…

Hey all - didnt realize this forum was still alive and kicking. Sadly one of my 2 joules is getting ready to give up the ghost. It had a good innings, but recently it's failing on a bunch of cooks and I cant risk a fail on a rib roast. Anyone had any joy with a 'loyalty' discount off a new unit since I figure any…
Since this link no longer links to Control Freak recipes, is there anywhere that contains the recipes/ingredient guides created by Breville? It's great to have recipes on Chefsteps, but sometimes I need a temperature for something basic, like bacon, which was a royal pain to find (I ended up ballparking at 325°F). It's…
I’ve always wanted to try a pear liqueur, but the price points never made sense to me. The cheap options felt likely to taste artificial, and the higher-end bottles felt like an unreasonable gamble. I went back and forth on the base spirit and landed on Laird’s Straight Applejack. The logic was that apple would support and…
I recently purchased one of these espresso coffee machines, and while I’m generally satisfied so far, I’d really appreciate hearing honest feedback from people who’ve actually used it. If anyone has experience with this model from Amazon (https://amzn.to/4rR1wp9), please share your thoughts—how well it performs, its…
