Definitely counts!Not sure if this counts, but I recently started learning to bake.
Definitely counts!
I discovered baking recently, too. It's taught me a whole lot of respect for bakers and patisserie chefs. There is a lot of complexity in baking that is much harder to control than in cooking, and it takes a lot of experience to adjust to varying conditions, such as temperature and humidity. Definitely not easy!
I have one of those. It's a ***** to clean.
We'll see how well it works this evening, got six packs of sausage just waiting to give it a try
Two words: outdoor light....by this first week in September, it's no longer possible to charcoal grill on weekdays after coming home from work due to running out of daylight...
I basically consider gas grills as a lower form of life (sort of like amoeba) because the taste of things is just sterile - no smoke, no real crust on meats, etc. On the other hand, though, firing up my Weber charcoal grill takes about an hour whereas I can be cooking on a gas grill in less than a minute. Here in Helsinki, by this first week in September, it's no longer possible to charcoal grill on weekdays after coming home from work due to running out of daylight. Sometimes I would still like to get a flame-broiled burger or a few sausages. Especially homemade sausages that don't cook so well in pans due to the high fat content. So, I thought to get a smallish tabletop gas grill that doesn't take up any deck real-estate and can also be tossed into the back of the car on a whim.
This dude here is quite amazing - almost every piece is made from stainless steel: the body, the burners, the grate, the heat deflectors, the drip tray. I can leave it outside all winter and not even think twice about it rusting. And bonus, the grate, heat deflectors and drip tray come off without any tools and are perfectly sized that they fit into the dishwasher! Can either be used with a standard propane tank or a small disposable 440g gas cartridge. Nice and sturdy, nothing flimsy or crappy about it at all. Normal price was 159 eur, but it was on sale for 129 so I picked one up this evening.
This thing is big enough to roast two whole chickens at the same time, or an entire duck or even an entire pork loin.
4.4kw (15013 BTU) max heat output
320 gram/hour gas usage
1320 cm2 (204 sq inches) cooking surface

Oh exciting!!! [emoji16] Please give us an update later then! I am looking forward to it.
Nice, where did you get that one?New wok after initial seasoning.

Passes the egg test with flying colors. When cleaning, the water beads off the surface much the same as it does with a teflon pan.
I removed the handle while seasoning (trivial, just remove two screws) and gave it several coats of oil, followed by a coat of a beeswax and citrus oil mix.
Does it beep? If it does, I'd put an axe through it…I bought a new toaster, SMEG TSF02SS. It can do 4 slices of normal sized toast at the same time, or 2 really long slices of "quality" bread. Has a bagel function to only toast one side. Has a defroster function as well, takes frozen bread to perfect toast - best toaster ever!
