I think so too Steve but tend to second guess myself a lot. I think that this may be a Christmas present to myself this year. I kind of think that the decals are a bit cheesy but can deal with them.
As a side note... One thing that was always done at the bar clambakes when I lived in Ohio was to keep the clam broth warm after dinner and make drinks with the stuff. A rock glass with warm clam broth and a shot of vodka is REALLY good as odd as it sounds.
I've already ordered another 'kitchen toy'; an egg cooker that does up to seven hard, medium or soft boiled eggs along with a poaching tray that will do three eggs. I LOVE soft boiled eggs with a broken up piece of buttered bread mixed in but am terrible at getting the eggs as I want in a plain pan of water consistently.
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product. ... 6896705407Just as a bit of info do you know why a decent egg cooker will include a pin/needle to pierce the egg shell? There are actually two reasons.
1) Even though it is just a minute hole that you can't really even hardly see it allows the escape of internal pressure preventing cracked shells.
2) It allows the release of sulfur within the egg. Ever do a hard boiled egg and have the yolk surrounded by green? While part of the reason is over cooking the actual cause is sulfur. The pin hole allows the sulfur to escape. Not a big deal but allows for better appearance for things like egg salad and deviled eggs.
Another advantage of an egg cooker is that the eggs are steamed, not boiled. Tends to make them much easier to peel.
Sigh, this cooker DOES bring back memories! When I was knee high to a grasshopper my grandfather and I would chow down on soft boiled eggs and fresh baked bread. My grandma had such a cooker as I'm getting to do the eggs. They were always perfect. With the old one my grandma had the piercing needle was built into the bottom of each depression to hold the eggs. In the case of the one I'm getting I THINK that the needle is separate and you manually pierce the shell. In either case it does the same thing.
LOL! Can it be figured that I'm sort of into cooking?
Sigh, another grandma thing with eggs as I'm sort of rambling anyway... I LOVE, ADORE and am TOTALLY ADICTED to deviled eggs. When I was little my grandma would often make me a batch. She would use toothpicks and little squares of construction paper to make them look like little sail boats. Isn't it awesome the things that grandmas do?
