I just got an indoor combo smoker/pressure cooker.  Only used it once so far.  Not too bad, did the job.  Had a real nice smoke ring on the outside and only needs 2-3 chips.  Problem is it's not big enough really.  Also it tends to make the tendon around ribs rubbery due to pressure cooking/steam so next time I'm going to preprep the ribs to render down the tendon a bit first.  Also, it will leave your kitchen with a smokey smell.  It's not a chimney of smoke, just hint of smell due to the pressure relief which I don't mind.  Having the kitchen smell like a real BBQ joint for a day or two is a good thing to me.

I consider you a lucky man.

I have pans, including a wok but they to their jobs admirably.

Heh, being part asian, I know most asian kitchens survive solely with just a wok, cleaver and a pair of long chopsticks.  That's it.

My Hindu roots determine many of my favourite flavours p;) I am half Hindu.

I might be a "lazy" chef at home but when I cook the kitchen is mine. I need my wok.

Bet you are well stocked with all the spices then, especially turmeric. That is a staple in a Hindu kitchen,

Speaking of tumeric, great drink for colds.

Well I grew up with Surinam (Hindu/African/Chinese/Indian etcetera) cuisine, Dutch cuisine and European cuisine. I like both basic and spicy flavours so I always have black pepper, salt, seasonal peppers, masala, sambal, some powders, basil, parsly, garlic, onion and whatever smells good. I grew up with kitchens that invited your nose first. Smell is so underrated in Western cuisine sometimes, just scandalous  facepalm

Turmeric, I will check out more Hindu spices because I want to improve my cooking skills anyway. Thanks  ahoy

Some home-grown advice (FWIW). Always try to make your own spices if you can.

Hello,

Sorry to come barging in here with my questions, but if I remember correctly from a long time ago, this is what that thread is for :).

I have a Sansa Clip+, and a Leckerton UHA-6mk2. I am going to use it as a portable set-up with my HD650 and Fischer DBA002. Would it be better to use the UHA-6 as an amp (so Clip -> Leckerton -> headphone), or would that be 'gain staging' and actually degrade the sound? If it improves the sound, what volume's would I set both at?

And is it true that the ATH-M50 doesn't benefit from an amp?

That are my three questions, any help is always appreciated, have a great day  :)p7
