In a bit of extravagant end-of-the-year spending, I bought this.
Not for minestrone, of course.
This makes using the immersion chiller a set-up-and-walk-away affair.
(I use a 5-gallon kettle, so double-check that the dimensions will work for you.)
And -- just saying -- it probably makes cooking risotto a lot easier, too. If you're looking for an excuse, or a justification to TWMBO.
