    Butchers sundries, anyone bought any supplies from them?

    They are on the same road as our works office at Measham, I have had stuff from them and they are very helpful. Give them a ring and have a chat with them, I am sure they will help out.

    Ridiculously cheap Infrared Thermometer on Amazon.co.uk

    I thought I would chuck my tuppence in. I have one of these and I paid £12 a couple of years ago. I use it for work and check fryer temps with it. You do need to be careful you don't get spurious readings though. Clean oil won't read right as it doesn't emit as much infra red energy as the...

    Pulled Pork

    I have not tried the vinegar based sauces, I'll give it a whirl. Thanks Danny. If you want Pork at the right price, Aldi have nice shoulder joints for around a fiver that will do a family for a good meal.

    B & M

    Poo! I paid £2.99 from Sainsbo's a couple of weeks ago. It's nice stuff.

    Cheap Sous Vide Immersion Circulator

    Awesome stuff Wade. Mines nearly finished now, I am on call this weekend, so all being well I will be able to give it a whirl next weekend. I know that the PID isn't bang on, but I reckon it will be a proof of concept if nothing else. I need to try out the cold smoker mods, but the weather is...

    Makro takeover.

    OK, Booker took over Makro some years ago, so that means mine has closed down. However, I have tried my Makro number on the Booker website and re-registered. Phew.

    Makro takeover.

    I have been informed that Booker Wholesale cash and carry have taken over Makro. Now that could upset things, as I get my charcoal and meat from Makro. A Chef friend has said that his Makro card is valid at his local Booker, so I am hoping the same holds true for me. I'll let you know when I...

    Hey!

    Hi Dave, welcome to the forum, these guys are really helpful. If you are planning on using a controlled fan assisted air input, just stick one hole in your drum for the fitting. I started with the manual valve method and had three holes in it. I have now fitted a controlled fan and the other...

    Cheap Sous Vide Immersion Circulator

    I don't have a printer or a scanner. It blew up around two years ago and I haven't really needed one at home. I sometimes go to the office and use theirs. I have tried all those, and other numbers as well. I think it's a Micky unit. I suppose you get what you pay for.

    Cheap Sous Vide Immersion Circulator

    This is the one I purchased. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/301552458334?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT I am wondering if it 's a copy and it doesn't have the full range of options and works more like a digital thermostat in a PID casing. The instructions were all in...

    Roll Call

    I was going to suggest Agave Nectar, until I read this. http://www.healthline.com/diabetesmine/the-skinny-on-agave-syrup#1 But it does put Stevia in a better light if you can deal with the taste, at least it's natural.

    Cheap Sous Vide Immersion Circulator

    Hi Piers, thanks for the in depth instructions. Mine only has three display numbers available, it doesn't have the same codes that I can access either. I can get to the lock screen and by changing it to 100, I can get the SL (1-4) section up, but it won't let me alter anything. Likewise I can...
