Instantpot does steam? We are looking for steam vegetabes mostly

If you're just going to steam vegetables, put the veges in a pot with a little water and the bottom and let it simmer. That's how I do broccoli. If you have a metal strainer/colander it would be better to let that hang over the water so the veggies don't touch the bottom, but they'll be okay with enough water.

Great deal on the Anova.

Holy shit that's like half the normal price. I almost want to buy another

[Zetanio]

Nah, it's about 30% off. Usually it's 129 or so.

I should've said full price then plus some lol. Like right now the site says $149... but links you to amazons sale. But yeah it's often on some kind of sale or another either on the site itself or elsewhere.

Jesus, the machine is a lot bigger than pictures make it seem. Amazing quality though, wish I could use it now but going to a barbq right now. Tomorrow though, IT'S ON!

I've been making massive amounts of chicken salad lately and my goodness it's the best I've ever had. Also tried hard boiled eggs last night, they were okay. I came home from work at 930pm, tossed in a fuck ton of chicken for 2 hours while I gamed, came back, took them out and turned it up for eggs for an hour while I gamed lol. The eggs were on a whim for convenience so I didn't have to check on a pot. I'll stick to softer eggs with it unless I'm obnoxiously lazy.

Still waiting to do ribs but I leave for Mexico next month and am on a deficit so I'm only doing healthier things low carb that the wife will actually eat. Salmon has been a big winner, think I do it at like 115.

115? That's a bit low breh.

[Boyiee]

Bro do you even fish tuna and salmon anything beyond medium rare is ruined.

[Zetanio]

120-122 is the only acceptable temp for salmon.

[Boyiee]

Oh my you need to expand your mind my homie that shit needs to be raw or fucking kissed

[Zetanio]

I don't really sous vide it anymore unless it's frozen anyway.

3-4 minutes a side in a pan.

Figured I'd put this here for the foodies. Recently watched Ella Brennan: Commanding the Table. Absolutely amazing watch.

I'm not watching because I don't personally like her but others should watch this.

Context? I had no idea who she was bought I thought the overall story about the Brennan's was neat. You're originally from her area right?

[Zetanio]

No but I worked for her when I lived there. Not a fan. I have few friends that are long time employees of hers and they like her well enough.

At Commanders?

My wife and I looked at the menu for Commanders and a few other restaurants that have been featured in shows that look higher end. We've found that the prices aren't that scary for what you're getting. We may start foregoing out to eat like we normally do (anywhere from $20-$35) and just go once a month to some of the more highly touted places. I'll need to get a new suit coat....

[Zetanio]

Yep.

I don't eat there very often but will drop in occasionally to see my friends who basically run the place now. For my money I'd rather eat at Galatoire's.

As for the restaurants, I find my favorite places are in the mid-range of prices (in NY). I like casual places with impressive food. 30-40 a person without booze. Total bill of $100. GF and I try a new place every week and revisit an old one every week. We haven't even hit the second page of our list.

I will go all out like 2-4 times a year when I'm paying, drop like 5-600 bucks.

I am lucky enough to get a lot of comped business dinners at every fucking steakhouse in Manhattan. They are all exactly the same. Why people want to eat at Del Frisco's or fucking Smith and Wollensky's twice a week is beyond me. I occasionally get to pick spots and we go deep at Sushi Yasuda or Marea.

[Kalmado]

Scored two massive slabs of spare ribs for $7.50 each. Just threw them and some pork steak on the smoker. We gonna have a lot of food to give away!

[Boyiee]

I don't know what I want to cook tonight but I feel like doing zero effort. Steak comes to mind. It's raining like crazy gonna be the first non-grill day in about a week so am sad about not using my corn.
