Also, if you are buying lemons for juice, look for those with the smoothest peel. They have the most juice. Before juicing, let the lemon warm up some. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-question-for-the-chefs#post-2114005 Tue, 14 Apr 2020 22:18:24 +0000 Barbara Diane 2114005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, great lemon tips.<br />About the thermometer, does anyone use the one with the cord that lets you read it from outside your oven? If yes, recommendations please. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-question-for-the-chefs#post-2113873 Tue, 14 Apr 2020 11:11:28 +0000 April 2113873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you're sorted on thermometer receommendations, but here is a kitchen-hack use that our meat thermometer gets on the daily (we almost never use it for meat).</p> <p>Did you know you can juice a lemon without cutting it open?&nbsp; Here are the steps (don't skip any; this is only life-changing if you follow them all.)</p> <p>1.&nbsp; Roll the lemon to soften it (or toss it up toward your ceiling and let it fall.&nbsp; Either method will work.)</p> <p>2.&nbsp; Take something sharp like a skewer or your handy meat thermometer and use it to pierce the lemon through the non-stem end.&nbsp; Be careful&nbsp; you don't shove it so hard it pops out the other end and stabs you.</p> <p>3.&nbsp; Squeeze the softened lemon into your dish or measuring spoon.&nbsp; You'll get the most juice if you squeeze from the top and work your way down.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>4.&nbsp; The pips don't come out (BONUS!) and if you don't extract al the juice, just toss the whole lemon as is into the fridge.&nbsp; No need to wrap it (BONUS!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-question-for-the-chefs#post-2113671 Mon, 13 Apr 2020 14:35:04 +0000 Helena 2113671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome, thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-question-for-the-chefs#post-2113669 Mon, 13 Apr 2020 14:31:08 +0000 BrieN 2113669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thermopop over here.</p> <p>I read Wirecutter and this was reviewed very highly. Company makes great products and very customer support oriented.</p> <p>I bought the Dot for DH for Xmas but don’t know that he has used it. He is getting a new grill so maybe we will give it a go then. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-question-for-the-chefs#post-2113666 Mon, 13 Apr 2020 14:01:28 +0000 Diana 2113666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We have the Thermapen. &nbsp;It's $$$$ but far and away the best meat thermometer I've ever used. &nbsp;Super fast and accurate, easy to insert, and easy to clean. &nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.thermoworks.com/Thermapen-Mk4">https://www.thermoworks.com/Thermapen-Mk4</a></p> <p>The cheaper version (Thermopop) is also pretty good if you don't feel like paying so much:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.thermoworks.com/ThermoPop">https://www.thermoworks.com/ThermoPop</a> </p> <br />Edit: you can use both as candy thermometers as well, since their dynamic range is huge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-question-for-the-chefs#post-2113661 Mon, 13 Apr 2020 13:21:26 +0000 Helena 2113661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi friends, because I know there are many cooking enthusiasts on the forum, I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a meat thermometer they love (bonus points if available on Amazon!).</p> <p>I need a new one after one failed yesterday, resulting in a well done (but thankfully still delicious!) lamb roast *grr*</p> <p>Thanks! xx </p>
