It is essentially a small steam boiler and I'm surprised there is no corrosion protection (anode rod etc). This gives the element a short expected lifespan, so it's equally surprising there seems to be no way to source replacement units. I can get all kinds of spare parts for my $100 kitchenaid blender, but not for this more expensive oven.

Has anyone replaced the steam heating element? Mine doesn't have the usual "add water" error, and there is power to the element, but I think it's burnt out. Edit: it's pretty cooked

Had the same problem with brining, so I poured off most of the liquid from the pan after two hours in the oven and boiled potatoes in this to absorb some of the salt - helped a bit, and the potatoes were delicious (ate them all secretly in the kitchen as the guests arrived ).

Hi, new member here. I discovered this forum while researching recipes for a Thanksgiving dinner, so thought I'd share the results, if not how excited I got about all the great autumn ingredients: walnuts, pears, cranberries, blue cheese, winter squash, etc. In fact, I sampled the pears and cheese so thoroughly the night before that I had to go back and buy more To start, a light appetiser with stilton, walnuts, and dried cranberries scooped into endive leaves. I brined the turkey, then stuffed it with chestnuts, pears, dried apricot, sourdough bread, pork mince, and served with sprouts, backed winter squash, potatoes, cranberry sauce, gravy, off-dry BC gewurztraminer. It turned out delicious, but almost too rich. Next time, I'll try to go for more "pure" flavours and balance, maybe skip the brine or the stuffing, or tone down the sides. After that, pears in red wine w. cinnamon, ginger, citrus peel, a few black peppercorns, and vanilla ice cream with the reduced wine sauce poured over. Then a short conversation break, and then some more cheese (and a BC "port"). Now I'm on my second day of leftover turkey, and looks like it will last a few days more... (I'm a bit jealous of those who have leftover pie)
