Ha Ha , Ha Ha Ha ! Id die w/o a working CSO. did I mention Im on CSO II ? forgot to keep water in the CSO I , so the steam Fx didn't work as I dsidnt use that for several months. Did I mention that my CSO menagerie cost less than @Shelby 's ? I think $ 175 , average ? Free shipping ? probably no tax ? OK average $ 178 , but not a penny more .

@TdeV so , did you like it initially ? I take it you did not like the ' Jus ' , aka the dripping in the pan , under the roast ? what did you find lacking w those ' drippings ? ' salt ? flavor ? Ive always found the bag jus could be worked with , and I SV w no added salt and I add ' saltyness ' at the end. looks like it will make a good RBSandwich , sliced to tender thinness.

It's not too late for me to cancel my Ebay order if you're willing to part with yours!

I have one of the later ones still in the cardboard shipping box.

No she's right here in KS.

It'd be even funnier if that's who I was buying it from!!! She doesn't happen to live in California?

PS if you wouldn't have bought that one on EBAY I would have

Thanks. It's amazing how we can become attached to devices like this. I'll probably keep it even if the pan doesn't fit - I barely use it with that pan anymore anyway so it's not a huge loss. If it is only a fraction of an inch different, I can always shave down the cast iron pan a bit! Always fun to break out the angle grinder....

Sigh I know. My husbands daughter could prolly make a fortune on hers if she keeps holding on to it lol.

Yay!!! I think you made a good decision. I bet your pan fits.

Also, I find it a little funny that I paid considerably more for the replacement than I did for the original!

Screw it... I bought it. I figure that they have a 30 day return policy in case it's not what I thought - I just pay the shipping back. Thanks for the help, y'all!

There was no sauce, so it was mildly dry. In the ChefSteps video, the chef browned the roast before the sous vide which I didn't do, so I did the browning at the end. I wasn't sure how to apply a frothed egg white coating on warm meat (would it have cooked it? And then should I have cooked it again?) I didn't like roast drippings. I will make a sandwich today and report on the meat as a leftover. We also had new potatos roasted, served with French butter. And a lovely succotash. The okra was broiled/steamed with @Okanagancook's method. Okra was trimmed and threaded on thin skewers, painted with oil, dusted with spices (in this case Ruth Ann's Muskego Ave Seasoning from Penzeys). 400ºF with 25% steam for 7 minutes a side. Our dinner guest raved at how great was the okra that I found myself telling my memories of various dishes Okanagancook has made and tales she told. Unfortunately this was when I realized that I had forgotten to take a picture of the okra. Sorry.

This site has one at a huge price When you look at older listings on Amazon, it shows the N1 in the picture, but labels it as just 300N. I'm still searching to find interior measurements of the 300N.

Interesting - the photo of the box shows the p/n as CSO-300N, but the image of the oven on the box shows the steam clean button. Personally, I don't really care about the steam clean button, I can always just set the oven to super steam at 250F but I'm more concerned about the difference in interior space.

Thanks - Google's AI also lined to @Ann_T site! I wonder if the older version will accommodate the cast iron plate that I use with the one I've got now - it just barely fits... granted, I don't use it much, but I'd like to still have the option.

You might ask the seller...the picture listed shows the 300N1, not the 300N........maybe they mislabeled it? However, I'd still buy the 300N even if it doesn't have the steam clean cycle button.....

Chatgpt tells me: The Cuisinart CSO-300N1 is essentially an upgraded version of the CSO‑300N (and earlier CSO‑300C). Here's what sets the N1 apart: 🔧 Key Differences Steam-Clean Function The N1 includes a dedicated "steam clean" cycle—designed to clean the oven by running a steam cycle at approximately 210 °F to loosen residue. The earlier N model lacks this feature Cuisinart+9Amazon+9Home Coffee Solutions+9Cuisinart+2Houzz+2Gardenweb+2. Slightly Larger Interior Reviews and user discussions report that the N1 has marginally increased internal capacity—enough to accommodate cast-iron skillets up to about 10″ at an angle—whereas the N is a bit tighter Thibeault's TableGardenweb. Same Removable Water Reservoir Both the N and N1 share the updated removable water reservoir, which makes steam cleaning and refilling much more convenient than the original CSO‑300 model Houzz. Summary Table Feature CSO‑300N CSO‑300N1 Removable reservoir ✔︎ ✔︎ Steam-clean cycle No ✔︎ Interior capacity Standard (≈ CSO‑300C) Slightly larger lol I note that chatgpt notes our own @Ann_T regarding the interior size

Does anyone remember what the difference was between the N and N1 versions? The one for sale is an N, but the one I have that is dying is the N1.

Splurged on wild-caught lump crab meat from Costco...highly recommend. It's $33 a tub, but we get 6 good sized servings out of one. I bought this tartar sauce at Safeway (grocery chain here in AZ) and must say it's quite good! The croissants are so buttery they charred quickly in the toaster, but tasted fine.

on that new , out of box item , above from @Shelby 's ref they offer a protection paln , from allstate : very odd , as who is going to fix it ? not Allstate. maybe the actuaries noted nothing is going to happen for two eyars and see ' free money ? '

It’s a bit of a process, but keep at it, it’s worth the effort.

Sadly, those are not especially reliable. It's especially problematic when writing about hands-on topics (like cooking, or DIY, or what have you) because there are only so many ways to say "add the wet ingredients to the dry," "tighten the bolts," etc. The AI-checkers are even worse (ie, the tools intended to identify blocks of text that may have been created by generative AI), and several of them were pulled from the market after their makers were forced to concede that they were about as effective as a Magic 8-ball.

@DesertTinker You are a dear. Thank you!
