I need to get a standing mixer. I like the fact these dudes use the egg whites, creme brulee uses the yolks. Double duty eggs.

Funny you mentioned needing a stand alone mixer. I was just talking to my mom about 2hrs ago about wanting one so I can start making some breads and such. As Huskee said to me last night in a post "great minds think alike ". Go figure. -
I've made them a few times but I stink when it comes to piping, so mine rarely turn out neatly. working on it. not gonna show them till I get them right!! If you have a sous vide set up, try your creme in that in small canning jars. any kinf of custard and, OMG! Pot du creme!Comment

sorry, had a health attack and haven't been well fro a few days. I posted the kickstarter link. Eggs in the sous vide are SUCH an incredible thing! Chef steps, I think was using a sous vide pan with oil to cook egg yolks for steak Tartare. THAT was cool!

Sous Vide + eggs = perfection.

You don't need a stand mixer to learn to make bread. In fact I think using a stand mixer when learning to make bread will hinder your learning curve. Start with a digital scale, mixing bowl, Danish dough whisk, bench scraper and a banneton. Get a pizza stone/baking stone and some parchment paper and that's all you need.Originally posted by Steve B View Post
After you learn what your dough is supposed to look like and how it's supposed to feel at each step of the process, then you can use a stand mixer to make some steps easier or faster.
Use bread bakers would love for you to join our bread baking club.👍

EdF ... I bought all of the fancy bread baking equipment before I mixed my first loaf of bread. I made lots of door stops and hockey pucks doing it that way.😡 Then I found a real bread making mentor and he told me to forget the fancy equipment until you know how your dough is supposed to look and feel at each step of the process. Shortly after doing it all by hand I started making good bread.
If you don't know what your dough is supposed to look and feel like... you won't know when to turn your mixer on or off.😆
Once you have mastered the mixing process by hand and know exactly when each step is complete... you can use a mixer. You will now know when to turn it on and when to turn it off.
However... dough that has been handled gently during the mixing process will come out better than a dough that was mixed in a high speed mixer. A real Artisan bread baker would not use a mixer. I'm a half breed. I use a mixer for real high hydration dough.🙈

Try the pumpkin ones from Trader Joe's if there is one in your area. So Good!Comment
I remember your egg sous vide post. I'll probably do creme brulee in the water bath again soon.
