Glad you enjoyed it.

Confession time, I've not eaten an olive.

Haven't eaten any of it yet but nearly my entire night has been cooking. Confit chicken legs, thighs and wings, sous-vide chicken breast for sandwiches, salmon put in to cure to make salmon candy and two giant slabs of nanaimo bars to take to work tomorrow.

The salmon candy is going to be awesome. There's about 1.5kg of the stuff, nom nom.

 

[DirtyJester]

^ RTM'd.



Fruit & nuts

How do you make Salmon candy, sounds amazing

Sunday roast today, went for a bit of topside, had to do it well done as the guests were a bit gay/

Liking the look of that a lot. I like rare but I could enjoy that big time! Gravy looks goood.

After seeing it on several cooking shows and once on here,
Decided to take a can of coconut milk and split it.
It's a lot if effort, take a long tome to boil the water off, then a long time to golden the solids up once they split for the fat.

It however is relay nice and unusual, nice chewy consistency and cross between coconut and malt flavour.

It's a shame you can't buy them, as it would be great and they're very tasty but far to much effort for a tablespoon maybe 2 of these golden bits.

If you get the right brand of coconut milk you don't need to boil off a ton of water as you can spoon off the coconut cream part and just use that.

Nom nom. Looks tastier than my breakfast this morning (which was also a bacon and egg barm but was University food so kind of bleh).

 

[DirtyJester]

Some breaded chicken too

 

[FrenchTart]

I think I might make a chili with ox cheek tonight. I'll be smoking the salmon candy too so I'll post up some pics and details on how it's made (sorry for not replying earlier, Tyrone1Wils)

Jacket potato, roast chicken, cheese, beans, salad cream, salt and pepper.

If my brioche buns are a success I'll be sending this badboy through the mincer for some burger goodness

Sigheth... Came home to discover my Anova is knackered and when I put the salmon on to smoke the pallet smoker decided to have a fire. Caught it before salmon waa ruined but it will delay everything by another hour.

Pork chops, god I love pork chops, with peanut butter, franks hot sauce and stir fried cabbage.

And that's some bad luck FrenchTart

I'll post up a video I made later (though apologies in advance for the utter state my kitchen is in at the moment).

It essentially comes on for a few minutes and appears to be working, then it stops with three quick beeps and flashes between awesome temps like -100, +600, etc. Then it holds at those impossible temperatures for about 10-15 seconds before repeating the beeping and cycling between impossibly high and low temps. I'll be raising a ticket with them shortly and will report back on how their CS is.

@Moses - I pretty much have done what you said. More of a shout along the lines of "**** you, world" and a few beers ready to go...

edit: Apparently uv has had similar issues when the unit got a bit damp. That's certainly possible given the storage - I'll check it out later for corrosion and also dry the hell out of it.
