I got this one a couple years back (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) It was top rated by ATK and it really works well.

@JeanneCake no more additions from me. Ill keep them for later. Its a Wonderful box to Open ! hope you get the French One !

As long as it has veggies

@Smithy I did not mean you , for sure . I meant the Internet . you know what I mean.

I use the heck out of my simple V-slicer. But if it required assembly, I'd probably use a knife for all but the biggest jobs.

Are you interested?! In reality, I'm gifting it to a cook or two who I know!

I have 17 more days til ours is opened. Unless I cave before that day... which if there are more additions to this thread as @rotus uses his new one, i may well do!

Salted butter caramel macarons... There was a bunch of meringue left over so I baked that off and folded it through some mascarpone whipped cream for a peach and sumac Eton Mess (inspiration here)... Lemon and Poppy Seed Bars by Melissa Clark (YouTube)... There were highs and lows with this one. They smelled and tasted absolutely divine, but I was not enamoured of the texture and mouthfeel. She describes it as a pound cake/cookie-bar hybrid, but for me it fell into a weird no man's land between the two, kinda like an underbaked shortbread crossed with an overmixed cake. However, all was not lost. I stuck 'em in the fridge for a few hours, which transformed them from claggy and cloying to something with a bit of bite. Not bad at all; in fact, pretty good. Judging by the comments in the NYT article, the texture thing doesn't seem to be an issue for others, so don't let me put you off.

You i would always forgive.

What delicious food! If you go back to Stars would you please ask about Ode to Vegetables which is in the Farm Showcase section. If I'm reading correctly, the vegetables will come as Tempura, with various sauces. The vegetables are no doubt chosen for their freshness. I'm really curious about what a likely selection of vegetables would be.

We too have a large free standing tub that no one has bathed in since my daughters left home 5 years ago. I woud love to get rid of it and have a large steam shower with a big bench instead!

A perfect summer lunch!

It looks quite similar to the one that I bought in the grocery store the other day for $3. I used to have one like the first one that you showed but every time I finally got it set up, I realized I was too scared to use it. For the amount of cooking that I do, the cheap little Supermarket version suits me just fine.

Only if the recipe is from Neiman Marcus!

I've had a super benriner for 20+ years and love it. I used to use it a lot (especially when I used to make a lot of green papaya salad). Easy to clean, and takes up only a little amount of space when not in use.

Wait 'til you guys do my Marry Me Veggie Sando, Cowboy-style! You'll all want to make it over and over!

Central Java style chicken soup (soto ayam).

Perfect for dauphinoise. You can probably flog the Matfer for more than you paid for both of them!

I've had this Matfer Bourgeat mandoline for 20+ years (and I can't believe how expensive they are now)... If I've used it more than twice a year in that time, I'd be overestimating. It's semi-annoying to set up, and more annoying to clean. So yesterday, this arrived... And I plan on using it a lot more.

Guilty! Sorry. Sometimes it seems appropriate to me although I don't know how frequently I use that word rather than "vegetables".

I agree " A [ fill this in ] with veggies ] might be tasty . Yet It suggests the specific collection of V's on the plate don't matter , and are an after thought . best sides on a plate Ive ever had were carefully though out vegetables . cooked specifically for the Main. several times , they out shone that main , and that main was very very very good.

Veggies. I know it's been mentioned before but I was googling for something the other day and I didn't see the word vegetables at all. Everywhere I looked i saw "Here a veggie, there a veggie, everywhere a veggie. Old MacDonald etc. I hate the word veggie.

that's one way of looking at it . my first RC'r is a 10 Cup National//Panasonic. . Purchased when The Ultimate Rice Cooker Cookbook: 250 No-Fail Recipes for Pilafs, Risottos, Polenta, Chilis, Soups, Porridges, Puddings, and More, from Start to Finish in Your Rice Cooker (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) was brand new. bowl is flat bottomed , as this is just Fuzzy my 3 C Zo and now 5 C Zo ' Flat-top ' have thicker rounded bottom bowls , a pleasure to use. I dont think these sizes would do well as slow cookers. maybe a 10 C . dont know why a slow cooker would muck up a quality bowl , though

But the Zojirushi is not sold as a slow cooker, is it?

Wow - that logo, while not exactly the same, sure reminded me of Jeremiah Tower's Stars restaurant.
