    I loved both the stew and bread( you should have had a bowl in the end to eat with that wonderful bread) Anyway here's a request/idea. The wonderful ovens you use should be discussed considering your product reviews. I'd like to think they are somewhat expensive but not overly so because you're recipes need to be able to be duplicated in home kitchens. So if you did a episode about them and what models they are those of us who are currently designing new kitchens would be able to help us in that endeavor. Thank you 😀 🙏.

      The ONLY real difference that I can see is do they have convection, or not and if gas or electric, otherwise, they are like all other ovens in terms of performance as far as performance in general goes. The cooktops are different as they can have more powerful burners.
      Most residential ovens can go up to 550F, many of the better ones have convection, some even have an air fryer function, though most likely do not have that. Only the lower end stoves, be it gas or electric often do not have convection, otherwise they all work more or less the same, the big thing is ensuring any oven you use is at least reasonably close in accuracy for temperature and stay there as much as possible and some semi pro ovens (which these likely are), will have insulation like their residential counterparts, only the pro stoves typically do not have any and most pro ovens are not set into cabinetry for much the same reasons I think.

    If you want to cut down the lamb gaminess - then consider using a portion of balsamic vinegar in the stewing water - it amazingly deals with the lambiness into a more pallatible beefy flavor. Using the Lan technique of steaming and browning, one can use the balsamic vinegar and steamed water to ceviche cook the surface of the meat, while the steaming evaporates the vinegar, and the final browning can be accomplished in faster time with the vinegar cooked meat surface.

    Maybe using Lan's steaming and browning of that meat would add dimension to the stew. Also, doing the same steaming and browning of the potatoes would also help. I have tried and tried to eat Dinty Moore's stew and ALWAYS the potatoes give acid stomach (like GREEN and raw potatoes) and I gave up their stew. Maybe having properly ripe potatoes and meat and steaming and browning them together (!) then add in the rest of the stewing water, carrots etc into the batch - and it would have a great, thick, and flavorful veg-meat gravy sauce.

      The keto way of eating is the answer to so many illnesses. Nonbelievers need not respond. I was 250 pounds, miserable and nothing was working to get it off. I'm now 130 pounds and happy. Meat, green vegetables and no sugar, processed foods, etc. I too find most cooking shows lacking in food that encourages a healthy way of eating. I watch them sometimes to see ways of cooking meats or vegetables, but discard any non-keto ingredients. Some of my favorite cooks need to lose a pound or two. It must be incredibly hard working with food and recipes daily when they are unhealthy.
