You're killing me!

@rotuts Talking ourselves into it, are we, and roping in @lindag too?

Yes, I remembered you saying that which is why I am going the sous vide/then grill route.

I have had the Xmart oven and currently gave the BSOA. I prefer the BSOA. I use the air frying function although I wasn't sure I would when I bought it. I also use the proof function when I make bread. It's also better for reasons others have stated. I know you didn't ask, BUT, if i could only have one oven it would be the Cuisinart Steam Oven.

Yet.😂

It says that the wire one is for delicate food like fish or chicken while the other one is for tougher meats such as steaks and burgs. The spacing on the wire grill is wider than the non-stick one. Guess I'll try the wire one tonight.

Last night I set the grill up under the hood over the stove and cooked some burgs. No smoke. I didn't need the fan. Keener that I am, I decided to cook some hot dogs for lunch. This time, the grill was on the counter, under some cupboards. Nary a wisp of smoke. I live in a condo apartment and nothing was open. I love this thing. I am going to do some chicken thighs tonight if I have time. Sous vide, then grilled. We'll see how it goes. I'm wondering if I should brush the thighs with oil post sous vide, pre-grill in case they stick?

The rotisserie sells for just under $150 Cdn. on Amazon.ca. @Norm Matthews Are you still using yours?

Last night's burgs. They had bacon and cheese mixed in with the meat. The buns were toasted on the grill and those are onion slices cooked along with the burgs. Best burgs I've had in ages, with a nice crunchy exterior. I'm thinking I might sous vide some chicken thighs and finish them on this grill. Has anyone tried this? BTW the thing cleaned up easily and quickly.

Me neither.😃

Yes you do. Yes you do. Yes you will. Thank you.

I don't know.

Why?

Thanks to 2 eGullet enablers, @Kerry Beal and @JoNorvelleWalker I came home with one of these today. I thought I would start a thread on this item so we could write about our experiences and post them on the same thread. I stopped and picked up some burgers and I will make them for supper tonight. Don't want to get too fancy first time out. I had read that certain parts were hard to clean so I bought a set of scrapers to help me.

😁😁😲😃

Spent part of today at Canadian Tire admiring the Phillip's Infrared Grill. I came home and looked into it some more. Does anyone besides @JoNorvelleWalker have one? Amazon has it on sale for $279 and they re throwing in a cleaning gadget. This year I've already bought the Control Freak and a back-up CSO. @rotuts and @Shelby insisted. I'm not sure I should be buying anything else. I sure do miss the toys I had at the house - the Weber gasser, The Big Green Egg, my electric smoker, my Weber charcoal grill. Maybe I wouldn't miss them so much if I had the Phillip's Grill.

Creole shrimp and grits. Grits made with corn stock and I included corn kernels. Garnished with green onions, cilantro and feta.

Good thing I don't like tuna.😁

Your guest isn't paying you.

Off course you blame Kerry. If I end up with one I'll blame her too. I just read the thread and see that I commented on it at the time. I had forgotten about that. I really, really, don't need another toy. I did forward the link to John because, well, Christmas is coming.

@JoNorvelleWalker please tell me what you really think about this grill.

Anyone have one of these?

I used to buy only Lanctantia cultured butter, which l loved. Then the price went north of $6 a pound so I changed to regular unsalted Lanctantia. It is sometimes on sale for less than $3 a pound and when it is, i buy a lot, wrap it and freeze it. I have about 10 pounds in the freezer from my last buying trip. I saw in today's flyers that some stores were selling it for $3.33 this week which is pretty good too.
