True, that. But if you ever get here, It's my treat, no question.

The thought just occurred to me that if I knew the perfect temperature of a poached egg I could set the water temperature to that and in theory, anyway, put the egg in there when the water gets to that temperature and it could stay in there for an hour, not overcook and stay warm. There must be a reason why that won't work.

I'm set up now and tested it on water. Set it for 125 and it was true to 125. I'll try French fries tomorrow and report back.

Yesterday we tried out a new-to-us place called Xiang Zi. John had Beijing Noodles with Fried Bean and Meat Sauce, I had Shrimp Wonton soup which contained 9! wontons, the soup topped with seaweed and green onions. Both were excellent.

@rob1234 It is made in China. I measured my box and it was 17 × 16 × 5. The unit itself weighs less than 6 pounds but with the packaging, I'd say @dtremit has it right.

I am getting an iPhone from my SIL which will work with the TT. It is coming from Calgary and is due to arrive today, assuming Canada Post is on the job. I'll probably try to sous vide something as my first use of the thing.

I like this a lot. Can you give us any idea how much this will cost?

I too am a Martin Yan fan. I found a recipe for the chicken on genius kitchen, and am hoping it is the same as the one you used as it looks amazing. Can you give some details on the bok choy and rice? I wouldn't mind trying to dupicate this as it looks delicious.

@blue_dolphin They are beautiful.

Where?

You need at a minimum version 10 of the Apple operating system to use the Bluetooth function. Note too that this is for the iPhone. They say they are working on a version for the iPad which will also require at minimum version 10 and also working on an Android App. They would not tell me when they expect to have them completed.

That is an amazing spread of food.

I haven't used it yet but I sure got excited when I opened that gift. I love small things like that and find them really handy. A couple of other small items that I have that I really like are a couple of 7" silicone tipped tongs and some small spatulas of the same length. The brand is Betty Crocker, yours for $2 for a set of 2 spatulas, one straight ended, one curved, and a pair of tongs for the same price at your local Dollarama. ,

Yes, they are Cusipro. I agree - they make good, solid stuff.

Just have to figure out how it all fits together.......

Here is my kitchen-food haul. You might think that I would have a set of measuring spoons and I do, but these are a set of "odd sized" ones. They measure pinch, 1/8 t, 2/3 t, 1 1/2 t, and 2 t. Not sure about the Beet Kvass. I need to do some googling.

@rotuts Were you able to download the app? I ask because while I normally use my Samsung tablet, i have an ancient iPad I can download the app to, once i figure out what's wrong with it.

Capon, dressing, cranberry sauce, gravy, roasted sweet potatoes and roasted French beans. Cookies and truffles for later.

@Anna N We ome to the mini club! You're going to love that thing! We will be opening our gifts this evening as we always do. Also traditional is the eating of ham sandwiches on Christmas Eve. A glass or two of wine will go down the hatch as well while we watch A Christmas Carol, also a tradition. We have watched it so many times I think one of us could play Scrooge and the other the Christmas ghosts.

I am making CIA's Pectin Jellies. I plan on making blackberry, passion fruit and mango. I just finished the blackberry one and it is cooling in it's 8 x 8 pan. My problem is that I have only one such pan. I would like to take the jelly out of the pan before it is completely cool so I can get on with the next batch. I would take the whole thing out and let it finish cooling it on the counter, which is granite. The pan was sprayed, then lined with plastic wrap which was also sprayed so it should be easy to take out of the pan. I'm thinking that shouldn't be a problem but I am not sure. Any advice?

@gfweb I'm guessing you weren't in the cheap seats.

@dtremit thank for your posts. They will help a me a lot when I get mine. I'm curious to know if you have tested water temperatures independent of the probe?

This is great!

@Kim Shook Wonderful! Thank you!
