Adam, I have the same range you put in the kitchen remodel (although the induction model) and I 100% agree it does not get hot. I think it’s because the door is thin to get more space so it can’t get as hot as it’s losing too much heat. It can’t even self clean normally. It has a steam clean which is complete garbage. The induction is amazing but I agree with you on the oven itself. I can deal with it but when I remodel my kitchen I am going to get a better oven.

You have *actually* impacted the way I approach cooking. Having never really cooked with my parents, I had to learn by myself via the internet, and, being a perfectionist, I became super anal about everything, to the point that it could ruin the whole experience if something went ”wrong”. I think a component that had been missing in the cooking videos I watched was precisely the emphasis you put on ”cooking in the real world, for real people”, measuring by eye and tasting to adjust. And that sometimes things go wrong, and that’s fine; it can still be a delicious meal.

Discovering your channel was a gateway for me to take cooking more seriously. Back at the onset of the pandemic, it was the best distraction from everything going on for my wife and I. It was so strange that shortly after we decided to move home (Southeastern KY) you announced you were moving to East TN! The guy who got us into serious cooking was moving just a stones throw away from where we were moving at almost the same time. All that to say, I so understand what you're saying about people asking you why you're moving to the Appalachians. People have this idea about it they feel is very concrete, despite having never been there. It's such a beautiful part of the country with beautiful people, your explorations into Maryville and Knoxville proof of that! My grandparents lived in Madisonville, so we spent a lot of time driving through Knoxville and going to Maryville, and you've shown me a side of Maryville that I didn't even know existed! I think you're doing a great service to showing a side of Appalachia that a lot of people don't get to, or care to, see. Thank you, Adam! BTW You should get Ronni Lundy on for an episode.....

Two oven thoughts: Our GE goes to 11, er, um, 550... but since we meter it for the purpose of cooking a standing rib roast with the "let it coast" theory of finishing, we know that it's *really* hard to get it past 500, even set to 550, no matter how long you're willing to wait. On the "True convection" front, I would assume that means that it does not heat the elements in the oven for radiative heating, it *only* heats the moving air.

[@CraigHollabaugh]

I got a kick hearing about your move and adjustments with new places and things (i.e. ovens). I've moved a lot with the military and have had to adjust to new places and things. I've always found it rewarding and challenging. One thing I was reminded of while listening to you describe your area of Tennessee was , on one of my moves across the country, I was driving through the Appalachians and, while following another driver (let me say here that I hate driving through the mountains, any mountains), I watched him begin to travel off the road just before a bridge over a deep gully. He headed directly towards the drop and I watched as I thought he would drive straight to a terrible death. Luckily, he awoke (I assume) just in time to pull himself back onto the highway. Of course, he exited at the next opportunity, I'm certain to get some coffee. I was a nervous wreck because of that and it has been a lasting memory.

Hi Adam, Knoxville native here. I'll be honest, I wanna move to the southwest, somewhere along the Arizona-New Mexico border if I can, because I need space from some family I know here, I think that region is beautiful, and I'll probably be working remotely anyway.

[@jeffreypolley7456]

Hey Adam, I think I might have the answer to your oven modes question. I worked for GE Appliance in the cooking division working with electronic controls. So I can at least tell you what their modes mean. I’ll start with normal Bake. Normal Bake uses both the bake (lower) and broil (upper) element to cook. With very heavy preference to the bake element, depending on the model, something like 80%-90%. For broil the upper element is the only one used and for GEA oven Broil HI is shooting for a temp of 550F and LO is like 475F. Convection bake uses the same elements as the normal bake setting but runs the convection fan also. So ovens a special and have a third element in the rear of the oven behind the convection fan. I am guessing that the pure convention mode on your current oven is like the convention multi-rack that GEA ovens have. In that mode only that rear element will be used once the oven is pre-heated. Because they are typically smaller elements the two main ones will be used during pre-heat so you aren’t waiting an eternity. Hope this helps answer your question.

Welcome to TN! I moved here from the Midwest and really like it here. Dove in to some of the local history and made a few videos about such. One fun fact...the father of Oliver Hardy was in Knoxville during the siege of the town during the Civil War. Fort Dickerson has an interesting story as well...including the life of Jonathan Calvin Dickerson whom the fort is named after. Every place has history...both good and bad. Cheers!

Greetings from Memphis! I am a native Tennessean but since I am from the big city, people say I don’t seem southern, and when I tell them, I get the same incredulous comments about my state, I am right there with you. Also, we love fresh market here too lol, it’s Whole Foods but better.

As an NC resident I know the river he is talking about, the French Broad River. Its very gorgeous, my dad comments about it every time we have driven over it.

[@francisvalentinemixes5277]

About the first question... I get it ALL the time. When I inform someone I am from southern California, they look at me wierd and say something along the lines of "Why did you move to the south, especially to a military/college town?" (I live in Pensacola, Florida.) It's become a reflex to basically just go "Cost of living, plain and simple." as a short response, and then I'll say "Military personell come and go, and so do college stusents. Due to that, permanent residents-wise the city doesn't have many people, so the cost of living is cheaper." if asked to elaborate (usually only older folks ask). Wasn't always that simple though. Been here for almost 7 years, and in the very beginning, it use to be SUPER annoying.

When I make pizza I found putting some olive oil on the dough then baking it for a short time before putting on toppings makes a better cooked crust in the center. I haven't tried cooking the pizza just on parchment paper after taking it out of the pan, I'll try that next.

[@josephhargrove4319]

Thanks for the tip on vhino verde. I had never heard of it but I went and got two different vintners offerings from my local grocery store (the total for both bottles was US$16.) My wife likes white moscato so I had high hopes for these. After small samples, we both decided this wine is a keeper. Have a good new year. richard -- The sig I should have used for my previous post is: "Don't trust atoms; they make up everything."

OMG! I so understand this. When my wife and I announced we were moving from the Seattle area to St. Louis we received a resounding, "Why?" from nearly everyone. For us it is simple - economics. We cannot afford to remain in this area, despite having been lifetime residents of the PNW. St. Louis is cheaper to live in and is still a city. It is also not the rest of Missouri. And, the real kicker is, I have family there. Family that both my wife and I would like to be nearer to. Who knows, I might actually be able to retire in that city.

[@christianeydner7726]

I recommend you look into claire saffitz (dessert person) on youtube. One thing i really like about her recipes is the balance. Because sugar is a means to accent something, not a means in itself. She has a tempered taste that i appreciate.

Anyone know the name of the Starfish Wine he mentioned at the end? As a fellow grapefruit lover, it sounds right up my alley.

[@mirandaseble5103]

Cuz the wine is what I care about- the Starfish bottle is Starborough Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand. I got my bottle at Trader Joes, but it's apparently common enough, HEB, Safeway, Target, and Walmart carry the bottle, too! Not too sweet, not too dry. Nice mouthfeel. DEFINITELY will buy it again.

One strong recommendation for folks in or near eastern Tennessee, at the end of January they have a science fiction & fantasy convention called Chattacon, held at the Chattanooga Choo Choo Hotel (yes named after the famous song) in Chattanooga. If you're from out of town, you can book a hotel room, or a room built into a railroad car. The convention folks are very nice (I got to be a guest writer of the con in the past), too. While you're in Chattanooga, you can also visit the Tennessee Aquarium, which is 2 four-story buildings, one of which is a self-guided tour from the top of the Appalachians down to sea level of all the freshwater systems on the main river, and the other is a four-story-tall saltwater tank (accessible with an elevator to the top and gentle ramps all the way to the bottom of each building).

[@jomercer21113]

I have a brand new oven that has no description anywhere I can find for all the different settings--like convenction bake, convection roast, convection dual bake.

Born in NC, raised in Knoxville myself. Got out while the gettin' was good, as they say. Live in Australia now and love it. We just didn't want to raise our kids in such an insular environment, didn't want police at the doors of the kids' schools. Knoxville is a bit better than say middle and west TN when it comes to diversity and anti-racism, but there still aren't very many truly anti-racist, non-conservative, non-religious, lgbtqi+ accepting pockets. The kids at our kids' primary school here in Australia were so diverse there was representation of 12 different languages (in less than 200 kids) and even more countries - definitely not something I'd have found where I grew up. Love your work, though. Hope y'all find living there better than I did!
