    HUGE mistake IMO for Wolf and such to stop making open burners. They are way more even and SO MUCH easier to maintain.

    I love that range. Wish it had a bit more balls, but for a home stove it gets pretty hot.

    Doesn't look as gross when the lights are off though either.

    Just shot this for you to put it in perspective. This is a 22,000 btu burner on high. Sitting next to it is a Mauviel copper saute pan. It weighs more than 10lbs. I sit that pan on the burner for 3-5min while I dink around before the fat hits. Anymore and it'd be black, any less and I'd cook more and brown less. And yes that is my greasy ass stove after cooking 5 hours ago and not cleaning it. I wipe the stainless, but the cast grates, fuck that. Once a month they go in the dishwasher.

    Turn your oven on to 350, dry your steaks that have been out of the fridge for an hour with paper towel, season with kosher salt and pepper, get a pan really hot with your burner as hot as it will go(NOT A non-stick, but just a metal pan), add half and half olive oil & butter to the pan in enough quantity to easily coat the pan (if you add too much you'll have to start spooning it) and then add your steaks. Leave in the pan only long enough to get a gorgeous crust on them. Should be on the order of a minute or so if the pan is hot enough. Flip once when you've given the other side about 2/3 as long as the first throw the pan in the oven and roast it until it is to your liking. Length is hard to say as the longer it spends in the sear pan the less in the oven. The goal is to do most of the cooking in the oven though so you need a REALLY hot pan. *if you have a really shitty pan, an inadequate stove or both the only challenge will be how hot can you get it before adding the fat. My stove is balsy enough to allow you to only heat it to cooking temp. You'll have to play with overheating it. If your stove is wimpy a heavy heat holding pan like a cast iron is awesome, if it can really heat a pan though you can get by with a pan that allows you to change the temperature of it faster like copper.
  6. /\ that isn't to say you aren't clipping your amp. All the methods you described for "checking" gains outside of your ear don't matter. If you ear doesn't work, then train it.
  7. Just as useful as the dd-1, pointless marketing gimic that has no value.

    I pan seared a NY strip tonight myself. Rip roarin' pan. May have seen it for 20sec a side twice. I cheated though and Sous Vide it to 105F first

    ?? http://www.curioustech.net/xport.html I need a port splitter for Win 8 so I can use one GPS antenna (com port) with 2 apps. Find this one and it says it is built into windows 8, but I can't find it in WIn 8. WTF!!

    Are they an arborist? I know 3 master gardeners, a few full time landscape people in my family, and all of them really admitted to not having the right info to make recommendations when it comes to trees. From what I can tell, it's best to find someone who specializes in trees. I have had 2 recommendations to call Rainbow arborists. I'll cut any simple trees down when you get the info though. I'm all jazzed up to feed the saw more. Tomorrow I will probably be less jazzed and more sore and sorry. lol :-) You've seen my yard. Mostly wondering what little stuff should be removed and how to trim what.

    Going to do something similar in my yard, but lol it is so thick with trees you can't see through it. Just want to make it more natural and less overgrown. Need the family hor to come out and tell me what to do.

    I should add learning Linux. Think I spent about 4 hours trying to get Win 8.1 on my "new" pc and then another 2 to get a dual boot working right. Fuck you ASUS. Learning via forums is NOT efficient

    Between learning Sketchup to work on house plans, HP Tuners to understand the ECU/TCM and now XML for my Carpc I am stuck in computer hell. At the same time, I know have back pain again from SITTING too much.

    Amusingly the computer I use everyday dual boots into Elementary. Should probably just go there and extract them. I assume that shouldn't be hard...

    Ha! I don't even understand any of it. A week ago I didn't either....which is why the first part took so damn long.

    Please all ignore the defensive tone if you perceive any. I've got more than 10 hours into the damn screen layout, lol. ALL changes are MUCH faster now though as I finally understand how it all works.

    I'm feeling retarded. How do I download that? *I do need each as an individual file and with a transparent background, but otherwise any image file works. No problem converting PSD to PNG Right side has download button, or use: http://www.deviantart.com/download/394422597/media_player_icons_kit_by_xf85-d6ituf9.rar?token=89571a1879a2b893d50e72884e2e5618d1647672&ts=1438712218 It's a RAR file so extract and you'll have a single PSD file. Aargh. I HATE icons. Home automation system is similarly annoying. Fucking things load in one PSD with a black background. WTF? I am sure I am just GIMP stupid atm.
