This thread is a safe space. A sounding board. A ledge for us to talk you off of. Use it when you want to wonder out loud if something is crazy enough to work. |

This morning I had to share the oven with my wife. I was doing a bread bake, which requires 20 minutes at 475 in a covered dutch oven and then 30 minutes at 450 with the lid off. She needed to use the oven to roast some veggies for our son. I thought, briefly, that it would be fun to fire up the charcoal grill after that covered portion of the bake and smoke the loaf at 450 for the last half our. I still might try it one day. Seems like it would make sense. You're still using convection, and I bet the smoky flavor seeping into the uncovered bread crust would be wild. Also, I wonder if you can achieve a good bowl of steel cut oatmeal using a french press. |

Convection is tricky. First of all, most consumer ovens do a piss poor job of actual convection. It any rate, I would never look to a grill to achieve a similar result, unless you happen to live in a place it is consistently windy or something? What would be the purpose of a French press oatmeal? You’re not just siphoning the water and tossing the oats, so are you hoping for a unique texture or something? But now this has got me thinking about whether or not I could approach oatmeal like a risotto sometime… |

I had an aha moment thinking that pressing the oats and draining off the water would do the trick. They felt soft enough, but my strainer's holes are too large. |

Think about all the great stuff you could add while you wait for it to steep, too. |

What about a hamburger and fries and a milkshake, but in a blender? |

It was a thread just like this, way back when, in a forum somewhere in North Andover, that the bread bowl was invented. |

When I was a latchkey kid, I'd throw a hot dog bun filled with tomato sauce, and topped with cheese, in the toaster oven. Good times. |
