In other news today, we’re launching our 2nd generation Predictive Thermometer. What’s new? 900F max temp, WiFi enabled, hermetic seal, and a bunch of other nice upgrades—including a new Combustion Engine for the Giant Grill Gauge. It’s a lot! More here: combustion.inc

Does anyone I know have a good contact at TikTok? My account was banned because I was accused of impersonating myself. Appeals have received no response.

22 years ago my first job as the development chef at The Fat Duck was to break the rules of Escoffier and reinvent how we made our stocks. I ended up using half the ingredients and making a better stock 4 times faster—it was just a coincidence that we were voted best restaurant in the world a year later 😂 You can use this same technique, with a trip to Costco, to make an amazing stock in under 60 minutes for less than $6

“Tell your Lord that this coffee has a washed Ethiopian Yirgacheffe processed at 1,950m altitude, featuring delicate floral notes of jasmine and bergamot, stone fruit complexity, a tea-like body with bright acidity, scored 88 points, roasted to City+ level, and brewed at 93°C with a 1:16.5 ratio using a V60 with a Melodrip.” “The Anjin says this coffee tastes exactly like Starbucks, but with less milk and will cost considerably more.”

Super fun little iOS app from @JustMeDevin. I’m old enough to remember not needing an app for home movies to look like this. apps.apple.com/us/app/casset…
Cassette is live! a fun way to watch your home videos shot on iPhone. Is this a launch video? I’m not sure, but it is a video.

Always nice to see Crouton get attention for @JustMeDevin thoughtful design work. And I’m really excited by what we’re working on to make Crouton an even more delightful recipe app.
Oh wow, stoked to see Crouton get a little mention in the “Principles of inclusive design” session! ☺️
