Thanks for all this. Not sure how this will work - I don't have room for both and can't expect the hubby to have to preheat and turn over toast...

Just to be a complete pain (ie clutching at straws) - could you try toast at 450º F combi?

Didn’t Nathan and modernist bread have you mix up dough without the bran in it and add it later so that it wouldn’t cut the gluten strands?

They've done this before - first they have a seconds sale for people in their country - then they run a second one in English for the rest of the world.

If you can get your hands on some Sosa flavorings - adding a tiny bit of that along with the tartaric and bit of booze at the end might just give a nice peachy flavor.

I've looked at each of the steam ovens that have come out - this has been the first one that interested me after the CSO.

The only chocolate chip cookie - this is based on a Jacque Torres recipe - reminds me of Paul Raphael's browned butter and muscovado cookies.

Well - he said the cost to make was too high - so I’d say no

Spoke with Bhavani a couple of days ago - he's figuring that he'll have units in Amazon.ca in the next few weeks. Just working on getting them shipped to the fulfillment center here.

I do have a plan that would get it to me. But I need to be sure it makes toast equivalent to the CSO first!

I'm in Canada - how about just a squidgy white bread like wonder bread

Just for shit's and giggles - toast under Combi at 390 and see if we get something more like the CSO would do - please and thank you.

Two issues around that (ie flash trip to Buffalo) - border closed and this particular item is over the weight that it's fair to expect my Buffalo contact to handle!

@md8232 - you need to make toast for us as a test - please and thank you. I contacted the company - they won't ship to Canada unfortunately - but before I figure out some way to get my hands on one of these I need to know if it can take the place of the CSO on the counter. CSO's first job every morning is toast. The setting looks like convention 390 F for 8 minutes.

Or the black cocoa butter drips were too warm and split so that is the uncolored cocoa butter split off from the colored if that makes sense.
