speaking of, which size braiser do you have in your Le Creuset set?

I am going back and forth between the 3.5 and 2.25 although I am going to use it for Sukiyaki and Shabu Shabu, not so much for braising. At least not regularly.

Exactly why I don't get why the goal to replace the HDD in a lappy and asked.

It actually might be a significant power savings VS spinning a platter and it won't add heat to the mess.

Aside from those theoretical bonuses, it might be less likely to loose data in a fall. But as you just mentioned, laptops should be backed up.

Even my new gaming rig won't hold media. Basically nothing I cannot re download. I am building this thing to be blazing fast and replaceable. The server with a couple mirrored drives will hold alllll the things I care about.

Yes.

Lol

We have the large oval the small circle and the medium circle and now the bonkers goose pot. I got that bitch for cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep in Albertville. Coupons 30% off, floor model "miss matched" red roaster with red lid.... how it was miss matched....

Anyway, it was on the dirt.

I can look up the quart size for you. I just dont remember.

I'm afraid the 3.5 will require too much liquid so it'll be diluted and might have hot spots on a cheap countertop induction burner. The 2.25 I am afraid might be too small.

For sukiyaki 2.25 will probably do it..... but I like having extra room.

We progressively moved up and up untill the goose pot. When I make red pasta sauce I can just do one batch now. And all in one pot. Brown, then pull the brown into the sauce with vegis and simmer. No fuss. 2 butts and a shit load of maters.

Also... thanks to your other suggestion on the vitamix I will tripple my processing speed. Maybe faster.

:-)

Moral of the story, if you know the general size, the larger one is usually a better bet.

I am mostly referring to the MK lappie discussion. Not so sure on the power savings being that big of a deal these days for most tasks and while the non-spinning is a bonus I actually don't know of anyone whose had a fatal crash upon a fall. May definitely add up, but just saying.

If the broth depth has to be too high then it's watered down.

If the burner center hot spot doesn't warm the whole pan mostly evenly then it fails.

Otherwise I'd already have the bigger one. TJ Maxx has the 30cm lid braiser for $120 right now and even on clearance at the outlet it is more. Curious on the coupon you referred to though...

I made my miso in the 3.5 and it had a healthy lip for the 2.5 quarts of soup.

I would think induction would be ok. It should make all the cast heat evenly right? My burner is not as even as I like but I make due..... if I can somehow brown meat in a large dutch on gas I bet you will be ok in a medium pot with induction.

Complete fluke. Wife went to the outlet for a 30% off at coach. Well the la creuset was doing some one day only BS too. I tried to get ahold of you, but at the time I didnt even have your number. I walked the mall and then told the wife we are going back. It was cheeper after tax than anything I found online, and no shipping. And when I walked back in I got tax plus some shaved off.

Complete accident.

Will a single Liter of liquid look so lonely I can't swish meat in it?

I suppose I could buy it and if it doesn't work return it. :P

TJ has one in black. That is acceptable. I'd prefer red though.

1/8th of am inch of beef broth I made on the bottom made it juuust right for moisture and the lemon squeezed on top was divine.

Best leg of lamb I have ever made. I didn't make any sides though. Gnocchi another night.

It needed caramelized carrots. I had already used all of it in the chicken broth though oh well.
