  • I enjoyed the video making a Burrata with basil and balsamic pearls. It would have been fun to have added tomatoes to complete a salad. For fall making cheesecake’s is my suggestion.

    Well done. I enjoyed it.
    Here is a new topic: We all know about sous vide but we don’t know how to finish it. I sous vide a steak at 118F. Then I grill both sides for 75 seconds. The grill marks look great but the temperature gets up to 135F or even higher. I tried searing it on iron pan but it got even hotter. How do yo do it?

    How do you dry whey? When I could buy it from Tillamook Creamery in Oregon, I would substitute it for white sugar in my cookies. Unfortunately, Tillamook discontinued selling dried whey. I would be interested in learning to dry the leftover whey. Great video–this was my first from you. I’m subscribing!

    • We haven’t tried this but you could try dehydrating it and grinding the remainder into a powder. For commercial processing they have technologies such as spray dryers that are not available to individuals.

    I would love to see an episode on fermenting vegetables using cultures.
