I use the inversion technique for the AeroPress, you probably do to. To me the advantages of the EsproPress are: 1. Get hotter coffee, while the coffee water is heating I have hot tap water in the double walled mug as a result my coffee is much hotter when I pour it off into the cup. 2. The plunging is much easier, it is so smooth, requires not much pressure. I find having it balanced on the mug a little precarious when pressing the coffee through. 3. I get a full cup from the EspoPress where I get a small cup from the AeroPress. Normally I drink Espresso but there are times when I want to sit and sip the coffee so I'm looking for a full cup. That's my song and dance;) I bought mine through a Canadian Company and this is the model I bought. http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/espro-french-coffee-press/ Here is a better one http://espro.ca/espro-press/

Previously SVed pork tenderloin for dinner today along with some caramelized carrots and SVed potatoes. Picked the carrots fresh from the garden, washed, cut them up and put them in a frying pan with some oil. Turned the heat up to brown the outside once that was done added some water and the lid so the carrots could steam until done. They were very tasty but did loose some of the colour. Next time I'll brown them even more. The potatoes were SVed in a glucose solution for 32 mins. drained and put through the ricer, very nice. I dropped the pork into the 194F that the potatoes were in for the last 5 mins. of the cook. Mow it's time for a nice cup of coffee made with my new Espro Press, which gives me a very nice clean cup of coffee, French Press style. I like the coffee even better than what I make in the Aeropress and it is easier too. It has a double filter system making for a clean cuppa. Put the coffee in the double walled mug, add the water, wait 4 min. and it is a very easy press down and pour into a waiting mug. Simple to clean, can you tell I'm impressed. They make several different sizes and I bought the smallest, 8 oz.

That rotisserie should fit in the dish washer.

Thanks, everyone, now I need a plan for those pitas besides donairs. I am tossing the idea of making smaller ones for sandwiches.

Ck & sk what a great job you did on that dinner. It looks wonderful.

HugoBoss, it looks like you may have cooked the pizza on the metal pizza pans, is that correct, if so next time slide the pizza off the pan and directly onto the baking stone. That should help the bottom crust. Did you buy the baking stone, it is an extra and not the same at all the heat deflector? The other thing I was thinking is make sure the baking stone has had enough time to get to temp. this is where an IR thermometer comes in handy. It temp gauge may read 500F but the stone very well may not have had enough time to reach that temp. Hope some of this helps.

Oh my, those look sooo tasty😊.

Tony, remember the days when you added 0.5t of sugar to each bottle☺

Interesting, byran. I always like to read about new gadgets.

Beautiful family, I bet they are excited to be back together as a whole family. Having everything in close proximity is the main goal, at least for me it was.

It is a prototype;)

Awesome, Tony, it sure makes things much easier when yo have the proper equipment.

Made some pita bread this morning and thought it might as well go here. Here are 4 of 8 that are just done baking for 4 mins. at 450F. A pile of pitas. Nicely puffed.

mk1, wow, looks like there was lots of very tasty eating from that cook.

Sounds exciting, tomahawk, arrival day is special.

Thanks, tomatoes, cheese, lettuce, onions, relish and ketchup:)

Did the Reverse part of Reverse Sear on this burger tonight. Internal temp. was 160F and Pebbles started at 180F and went to a max. at the end of the cook of 295F. Poor lonely burger:( Ready for the bun. Loaded cheese burger and chips-

Round, I would say 2.5-3 inches but there is no reason you couldn't make it as a loaf. It all tastes the same.

tinyfish, those beer can burgers look sooooooooooo tasty, great dinner.

Talk about the fun we are having with the KKs, dinner looks awesome .

HugoBoss, you must have had fun day and the results look wonderful.

I haven't tried that , Bryan. If you have a strong vacuum sealer it may work. Then just form into the shape you want. ☺

You pack it together by either really packing it into a container or slapping the log on the counter, you have to get it tight. Plus the meat mixture is kneaded for about 20 mins and the meat is ground 3 times before adding the spices.

No it isn't but I love this sauce on donairs:)
