I'm so glad you've been corrupted.

Does this taste like eggnog a bit? YUM--and very fancy!

But worth it.

😂 They back waaaaay up and stare --they don't know quite what to think about it. Especially when the lid opens up on it's own after the process is done. It boggles their minds. Yes! I didn't do that this time. I forgot. Too excited to vac pac something lol.

I'd stick to the 300 or maybe a bit lower and keep a close eye on it. CSO's are speedy and hot lol.

Having such a good time with this machine. Hoping to get some watermelon from the garden in a few weeks. Must try to compress some. In the mean time, Ronnie found some good t-bone steaks on sale

I promise that with no poking you won't have any dents

My tiny 2 cents--in my experience the CSO cooks/bakes things faster than my oven. I'd leave the temp at the 300....but what do I know lol.

This. And I've also made it with just white vinegar.

Oooooh spelt!

Ribs, fried okra, 'maters, 'taters.

Grammy often had celery stuffed with pimento cheese. Good stuff. Especially when I licked the cheese out and threw the celery away.

😂 Ah, yes, Kim. Another member of the no GBP club.

A while back we got into a discussion about Rice-A-Roni and I said that I had never had the Spanish rice version. A few days later I got a package in the mail--Spanish Rice-A-Roni from @suzilightning . Made my day . I've saved it until our tomatoes from the garden started coming in (it tells you to add a can of tomatoes to the mix). We really liked it! Homemade salsa The famous Rice-A-Roni Cheese stuffed banana peppers WARNING: Dangerous picture about to be shown. All GBP dislikers please look away. This means you @rotuts and @kayb Stuffed venison bell peppers from the garden.

Kim, two of my faves---Mtn. Dew and Funyuns! (I fear you're burning the candle at both ends--get some sleep young lady (((hugs))) )

I've never poked holes. Maybe try it once with the non-poking?

Totally fine. Well within the "rules".

Yep, it's in an even easier spot than it was on the counter. On the counter it was right next to the little sink, which wasn't great. Now, It's right across from the counter--with another table right next to it if I need to lay things down etc.

All I know is that I've done pork loin--but maybe it's not that thick...but I'm sure it's close--at the time and temp I listed above many many times. Never had any problems.

VM's new permanent home. This stand was very easy to put together and very sturdy. Now I don't have to worry when I need to change the oil. I can do it alllll by myself Potatoes will go in the bin in the middle. Other kitchen toys on the bottom shelf. Or maybe some big bowls.......

The Vacmaster 215 fairy, of course You have room. You make room. You can do it.

Turkey sandwiches. Again. I had also made tater tots in the CSO. I took them out and promptly dumped them all on the floor.

I'd pitch a tent the night before like people do on Black Friday.

It's an amazing machine. Absolutely amazing. I'm not kidding when I say I'm vac packing everything lol. Yes, someone really knows me well and I am very very blessed and lucky. It's very heavy. I ordered a sturdy cart that holds 300 lbs and I Ronnie will transfer it on to that. It has wheels so I can easily move it and change the oil etc.

I was gifted a most wonderful thing yesterday: Watch out, if you come over, I'm vac packing everything in sight. And that might include you.
