I did end up joining and https://app.ckbk.com/# has since merged with them, giving one access to a whole new slew of cookbooks, magazines etc. I can now access 955 cookbooks, 802 magazines, 17 blogs and 196,971 recipes. More than I'll ever need. I'm still feeling my way around this web site but I sure do like it so far. The premium membership equates to the cost of buying 2 new cookbooks a year which is chump change given the info you can access. I also had reason to deal with their customer service lately and it, too, is top-notch.

Also on sale in Canada: https://anovaculinary.com/products/anova-precision-chamber-vacuum-sealer?utm_campaign=CVAC Sales Email 7%2F26%2F23 (01H5K0JRXZ5Y9Q4H0TF2MAFRX0)&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Sales and New Product Release Segment&_kx=AFv5IwVhuYsFplxOaqGyBtMP_aZ-jqWvCsUHxUw4yck%3D.Kxfd42

I'm guessing you weren't sitting in the back of the plane?

I was in Southern Ontario last weekend and bought some cherries at a farm stand. If I had been blindfolded while eating them, I wouldn't have known they were cherries.

No. But then, my replacement oven came with those two settings. I'm glad I don't have to do anything. From what I've been reading in different places, a lot of people are having problems.

Can anyone confirm that my oven settings are up-to-date? My oven profile says firmware 2.0.11 and App 1.1.3(12977). Thanks!

I'm extremely jealous.

These are the syrups that I have. The sauce is drizzled over puddings, apple blossoms, various tarts, ice cream, etc. Guess you could call it an all-purpose sauce.

I want to make a caramel sauce and the recipe I plan to use calls for corn syrup. The recipe is written by an American and doesn't state whether one should use white or golden. Here in Canada we would use golden if the recipe doesn't specify. What do you use in the States?

Amazon sells Presto. It is produced by Nestlé.

@TdeV and @palo Thank you, but I did not word my question very well. I meant printing directly from the Anova site. Right now, I'm doing as suggested, in my case copying to Evernote and them deleting the bits I don't want. It works fine but is a PITA. I have amended my question.

Does anyone know how to print the recipes directly from the Anova site without including all the pictures? I'd like to be able to print the recipes with just the ingredient list and instructions.

I've often wondered the same thing for the same reasons.

Nor I.

I am just catching up on this wonderful blog but this post caught my eye. Re: ginger tea - do you just cut off say a 1/2" piece of fresh ginger and steep it in a mug of hot water? I've been having stomach issues and I would like to try it. The usual Western remedies don't seem to want to work.

If you like grilled cheese sandwiches, the air fryer makes the best ones I've ever had.

$959 Canadian but they do go on sale. Go to the Anova site itself.

No, it's not the same one. The one you linked to is for the Chamber Vacuum Sealer listed at $479. The one I am interested in is the Vacuum Sealer Pro, list price $209 currently on for $140. There is also a third simply called Vacuum list $109 on for $83. I wasn't able to find any mention on eGullet of either of the cheaper ones. I need (would like) something better than what I've got but a chamber vacuum sealer is beyond what i need.

Does anyone have one of these? If you do, what are the pros and cons? I'm thing of getting one as it is 32% off right now but would like to know what others think of it. And what do they mean by "marinade friendly, no longer must Anova food nerds live in fear of sucking up extra liquid into the vacuum port of their sealer". It's not a chamber vacuum so I would think you can't have much liquid in the bag or it will, in fact, get sucked into the vacuum port. I'm currently using an inexpensive Foodsaver. Looking forward to your comments.

I just found your blog and read the whole thing. Fascinating. I don't know anything about tarsiers, (I'm about to educate myself) but they are awful cute. Thank you so much for this.

Pardon my ignorance, but I'm not sure what exactly you mean by this. Is your oven not working properly? What do you mean by "bricked it"?

@MetsFan5 Should you have a Dutch grocery close to you, they often have an Indonesian food section where you can find such items. We have several such stores here that carry these chips.

I had a look at the first couple of pages and decided I couldn't be bothered going through the rest of them. I neither want nor need anything so unless I see something compelling in an e-mail I'll sit this one out. There are some good buys - just not for me.

I had a Breville BTA820XL that finally gave up toasting. I recently replaced it with a Cuisinart CPT-T20C. I've only used it a few times but so far I'm happy with it. Here in Canada it lists for $120 and I bought it on sale for $40. I don't expect it to last forever but for $40 I don't expect it to.
