I just finished making this and gave John a sample portion with some bacon on top. He thought it was great. We'll have it for lunch tomorrow. Thank you for the recipe, it's really good.

I will never again rub my eyes after cutting up a hot pepper. Actually, it wasn't even very hot as it was a poblano but my left eye is not very happy right now.

There used to be a plastic wrap that had a "slider" cutting mechanism that you used to cut the wrap instead of having to tear it off. It worked really well but whoever it was that used to manufacture it no longer does. The name escapes me but I was very disappointed when it went off the market.

@blue_dolphin Fascinating, thank you.

Incredible! So very, very different from what we have here. Thank you.

More info from the Tsst Team: The temperature range is from 80F to 400F. Using the App, you can set it to whatever you like within that range. At this time, you cannot add your own recipes to the App. I'm with @rotuts. I would love an induction burner that I can set to whatever temperature I want with a reasonable degree of accuracy. I don't care about cooking from the App. Please, just let me be able to deep fry potatoes outside, and maybe a few other things.

I heard back from them and this is their response: "Thanks for reaching out! I'd be happy to address your questions about the One Top. First, we do not have an estimated launch date for the Android app, but it's coming soon! Be sure to check back on our website for updates. Without the app, you can manually adjust the temperature with the presets provided on the One Top. We are currently working on defining the exact temperature assigned to each increment for the presets. Lastly, the temperature settings can be manually adjusted via the app! This gives you the freedom to manually set time and temperature to cook your own recipes. I hope that helps answer your questions. Please let me know if I can be of any further help!" I have to say I'm impressed with how quickly they got back to me.

That's what I do except I lay mine on a cutting board, cut off the four sides then go back and scrape the rest off. A bit goes flying when you cut the rest off but the corn from the initial four cuts stays on the cutting board and very little escapes.

I just sent them an email asking: Without the App, am I limited to using the presets? If yes, what temperatures are each of the presets set to? Will the Android app be ready by the time the units start shipping? I'll post whatever they say.

Me too.

Somehow, that doesn't make me feel any better. When I bought it it had the same 4 little tomatoes on it. The tomatoes grew a little but but the plant part hardly at all. But, we are getting three whole days in a row of "summer" so maybe that will spurt some growth. Hope springs eternal and all that.......

Just put a hold on one.

I never use the presets.

I just bought the kindle edition of Ted Allen's book also.

@Shelby since you have given me a glimpse of your tomatoes, I thought I would show you mine. Now don't laugh at what appears to be three tomatoes - there is a fourth lurking in there somewhere!

I've been usin Food Wrap from Costco. I was a devotee of Saran Wrap until they changed the formula and haven't bought it since. At the time they changed it, I was in a grocery store and someone was getting a refund on his roll because "It doesn't stick any more". For stuff I want wrapped better, I use Press and Seal.

I used to buy this when I was on my own, that is, when I first left home. I too did the boiling water, but briefly as i wanted some crunch to remain. Then, I added milk and brown sugar. I thought it was wonderful but that may have been because all we ever had at home were corn flakes. To this day i can't stand soggy food which includes such things as french toast, cookies dipped in anything, hot sandwiches with gravy on them, etc.

Man, that looks good!

Me again. Approximately how much does one weigh?

Very nice!

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this but - does anyone have Peter Reinhart's Whole Grain Breads: New Techniques, Extraordinary Flavor. I am looking to get a book on whole grain breads and thought this might be the one to get, but before I do, I thought I would ask here. Is there another book in place of this that you would recommend?

Thank you @JoNorvelleWalker for 30 second green beans. These are amazing. I do them now this way all the time hovering over my IP until my timer goes off and I can immediately release the pressure. I then throw then into a hot frying pan with some butter, salt, pepper, a pinch of sugar and a bit of freshly ground nutmeg, toss with tongs until butter is melted and serve. Thus takes maybe 5 seconds and because It's so quick, the beans do not cook further.

Feeling cheery today, are we? Nice looking tomatoes. Did you grow these? I was told at the farmers market last Saturday that we are still 2 weeks away from ripe local tomatoes.

I could spend days (slight exaggeration, but only slight) in that store.
