Very cool ... wish I had known about you a couple of months ago (bought the Momo and Fly by Jing at the time) but will keep you in mind going forward. Best of luck with everything.

Do you re-heat in the waterbath on the day or use another technique (do you brown with a torch, boiler or sear off)? I've done several of the ChefSteps methods and they all produce great results (really like the pressure cooked legs/thighs) just have never done it SV so early. Thx
KKF B/S/T is gone crazy - still available ... crazy ...
You will not find (IMO) a better (all around chef) blade (mid weight) or steel (w/ chromium) or heat treat (duh/Thomas family developed & tested the steel w/ heat treats) ... just my $0.02 ... so sad there isn't an "option" to possibly...
So the obvious question(s) since "classic" is a four letter word IMO :cool: ... you didn't mention them but did you use either/both A). tomato or B). beans? Be warned - you will be judged (harshly?) by your reply ... LOL

Just like you this was a fascination and really enjoy the entire experience of butchering, prep and production ... just really really fun TBH. I only do it about 2-3 times a year though but enjoy it every time and wonder why I don't do it more ...
Bought a Konro years ago when Korin was having...
You ask a great question ... haven't done a direct head-2-head comparison but that sounds like a lot of fun so once I get back from the current travels I will line 'em all up again and make little things out of big things then will report what I take away from it. Thx for getting me thinking ...
I guess I fall in the 'yay' category ... in my defense it took me > 10 years to get the Devin Bubblewrap I had so "desperately" needed after seeing one on his web site ... but then couldn't find/buy one ... so I looked in other directions but then voila DT was back in the saddle (which is...
