Random Food Thoughts

Taco Bell breakfast can’t possibly still exist right?

That can’t be a real thing. Ours opens at 9am… is breakfast existing there for 2 hours?

My assistant at work told me she was getting a Kitchenaid stand-up mixer and I took at a look at the prices because I hadn't looked in a while...

Glad I bought mine like 20 years ago. Holy shit. I bet they still run like a tank though.

I had my mother's old one from the '80's. Worked just fine...no one would buy it. Ended up giving it away. Had all the meat grinder attachments and everything.

1.3HP is ~970W

550W is more than half 970W. Not sure what they teach in either Texas or Florida. And you claim you can crunch numbers?

The fuck do you think I am an electrician? My brain works in metric.

All I know is my grandmother's molasses christmas piparkukas cookies would murder the cheaper Kitchenaids. lol.
 
If you actually want to grind meat you should get a meat grinder and not use the kitchen aid attachment at all. It burns out the motor. Even on the pro grade ones.

I have not read the same about the other attachments but even for as little as I use my stand alone meat grinder I think it is fantastic. Should make more breakfast sausage.

that's wild. Mom used that meat grinder regularly...usually with partially frozen meat. She had also had a cranberry salad recipe using a bunch of frozen fruit to grind.

Maybe it’s just the modern enshittified ones but I have read that more than once. I have had to replace one ice cream maker bowl because the first one was so well used it cracked and leaked. I don’t make pasta from scratch so I never bothered with that one. But mine is a refurb and works like a champ. Knead lots of dough.

Is thermapen still the best instant read thermometer for cooking?

I was changing the battery in my workhorse this morning and a component off the circuit board fell off and now it is dead. Spring sale helps, but would like to make sure before plunking down a hundred on a thermometer.

Following up to this. I purchased one on color close out, to make my third thermapen one since 2007. It died the second use. The error code indicated catastrophic damage internally that usually meant the wiring from the board to the probe had severed. 5 minutes on the phone and they mailed me a new one with instruction to mail back the faulty one. Apparently they can fail if they get the shit beat out of them in transit. I went from really annoyed to pleased with their customer service.
 
my YouTube algorithm constantly feeds me travel vlogs of British people coming to Texas. They always seem to go to Buc-ee’s and Terry Black’s BBQ. Must be dozens of people.

It’s seems in England it’s an entire genre of vlogs.
