  1. No is was their NN-ST775S with the cyclonic inverter. Purchased on sale at Canadian Tire just about two years ago. I really liked it
  2. What's a home without a steam boy in every room?! Canadian Tire used to have them and they would go on sale at around $199 but they aren't carrying them anymore which is why I just went ahead and ordered one through Amazon and it's weird because they have three models for sale: 300NC is $381.25 300N1C is $199.00 300C is $305 The one I currently have (for about 3 years I think) is a 300C No idea what the differences are amongst the models.
  3. I just ordered my back up from Amazon.ca, $199.00 Cnd with free shipping. Seeing my 2 year old Panasonic microwave just died and the thought that it is likely discontinued made me pull the trigger. Thanks everyone.
  4. YES ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿฟ About four cms today but by noon it had warmed up and the melt is now on with temps forecast to go to 15 C on the weekend.
  5. I threw the dish and the little plastic lid into a zip lock bag and tossed it in the garbage. I don't think that smell will come out.

    Thanks. I use Elaine Lemm's Yorkshire Pud recipe. I make the batter the night before. I use a popover pan rather than a muffin tin. Basically it's equal parts by volume eggs, milk and flour. Whisked together; rested for at least 30 minutes but the longer the better. Baked at 450F for 20 minutes.

    Dinner 2019

    Sous vide Bistecka; Yorkshire puds (5 inches tall); Air Fryer Onion rings and a salad not show. Burn beans....not served (see the "I will never again.....thread for details on the beans).
  8. I will never again use my Microwave's 'Keep Warm" feature......It burnt my beautiful green beans and bacon dish that was intended for dinner (the bowl WAS full to the brim but incinerated beans take up way less space)....The machine is outside in the snow and the whole house still smells like burn food. Funny thing was we didn't smell the beans until I opened the microwave door and a cloud of smoke came pouring out. I had noticed the microwave heating too much on the 'defrost' cycle so that was a sign that there was something a miss. No longer under warranty. Maybe it's time for a second CSO and no microwave. We'll try without it to see how we get on.
  9. After watching U-Tube Chef John make crispy onion rings I tried them in the air fryer. I did try some fried in fat. Those are the two at the top of the tray. Of course they were the best but the air fryer onion rings are pretty good for about 10% of the fat. My batter did not get as thick as Chef John's so I added a little more cornstarch and instant mashed potatoes. My panko crumbs weren't fine enough to really stick to the rings...I had to crush them in my mortar and pestle. I sprayed them with Pam on both sides before putting them in the fryer for a total of 6 minutes, turned at half time. We're going to have a few on top of our Bistecka tonight. '
  10. I love this little machine. This morning I reheated a couple of slices of pizza: Super Steam at 400F for 5 minutes; switch to Convection Bake 450F for 4 to 5 minutes depending on your topping. Perfectly reheated and still crispy.

    Breakfast 2019

    Aren't they wonderful. If you haven't been to AnnT's website...it is worth the time. So many excellent looking recipes and information....down the rabbit h......
  12. @blue_dolphin. Lovely looking dish and I love that they are baked...I bet they would be great in the air fryer too. @heidih I agree totally that avocados are mostly about their texture versus flavour...well, at least for the avocados we get up here in the Great White North that have been shipped many kilometres from south of here.
  13. @lindag please note my recipe correction...Orange juice NOT lime juice.
  14. Tonight we had Red Lions from The Craft of The Cocktail 1 Oz each Gin and Grand Mariner 1/2 Oz each fresh lemon and orange juice flamed orange peel dangerously delicious
  15. Scroll down to the comments section....lots of information.

    Breakfast 2019

    Oh Lord.....killing me again....so if a person was to order one of your beautiful wooden boards, does it come with buttery toast as in your picture above? ๐Ÿ˜Or, is the toast extra.๐Ÿ™ˆ
  17. Very nice @Shelby. It looks to be very moist. Also looks like 1/2 a brisket.

    Lunch 2019

    Another lunch from last week. Duck leg confit poutine sans cheese curds. Air fryer fries. And, I think there is some spinach at twelve o'clock.

    Lunch 2019

    I tried my hand at rice rolls the other day for lunch. It's quite easy. Mix rice and tapioca flour. Cook in a cake pan in a big steamer. I filled these with dried shrimp and topped with sweet soy sauce.
  21. Made some corn tortillas then put each one in the air fryer after a quick oil spray for 2 minutes...nice crisp tostados for the refried beans I made today...breakfast tomorrow...canโ€™t wait.

    Dinner 2019

    @Shelby I want that baked potato! It looks so fluffy. Did you do anything special?
  23. Wonderful bread. I love chewy crunchy bread like you both made. It is incredibly delicious but, when one pauses to think that is really only a few basic ingredients with the correct temperature applied .....compared to other delicious things to eat requiring so much more effort and resources.
  24. My meat grinder attachment has also cracked. I bought a stand alone grinder which works MUCH better.

    Pesto Basics

    I always freeze pesto. Keeps very well in a vac sealed bag.
