Mess Hall Acquisitions

A smaller Descoware fish au gratin: 14" as opposed to my 17" that's in the pic for comparison's sake.



A Griswold #5 with the Large Block Logo (1930-1939). Bottom has some pitting, but no warps or cracks and the interior is pristine.



I'm really finding the little pans to be very versatile. I though my Wagner #3s would be more novelty than anything else, yet I find myself reaching for them mroe and more often.

After tossing aside yet another "fast" handheld thermometer that required what seemed like forever to give an accurate reading, if accurate at all, I finally broke down and bought a Thermapen. Even better, I hear the flames make it even faster than the rest!

Nice Steve! You will love it.

I've been kicking myself for not pulling the trigger on one since your heads up on the open box sale earlier this year, so I finally grabbed one. In this case it is Jim's, rather than James' fault.

Nice TJ!

Sausage looks great.

That sausage looks better than you'll find in a salumeria in business since the 30's.

Nice!

Stinky Bklyn on Smith Street

A block away from Paisanos Meat Market!

Just opened my new knife from JCK. Ordered the Inazuma petty 150. It looked pretty nice for the price so I gave it a whirl. Placed the order last Friday morning and it arrived in Tampa by Tuesday. I was out of town for work and just got home today to open it up.

Picked this up an amazon the other day, and it arrived today:

2300 degree flame on this thing. Should be able to get my Creme Brulee to the table a little quicker. Seems to be a pretty durable unit. Oh, and skip the Gasone butane cylinders on amazon. They are about 20 bucks for 4 canisters shipped. I found them at my local asian market 4 cans for 3.99.

And what is this mess?







A score, but not "Operational" yet.

Yep.

I knew it was just a matter of time before he completely lost his mind.


This warrants another Scotto visit!

And I was going to say two engine block heaters.

I just got an old Griswold heart shape waffle iron, to make Norwegian waffles.

Great find! It looks like it has never been used.

It is spotless. I have a batch of batter ready to go.

Here's a picture of the waffle, which I made Norwegian Waffles. It took me a couple of batches to get the hang of cooking with the iron, but breakfast was as good as what I've ever had.
