My normal chicken soup because the weather was dreary and cold and my wife had her first shingles shot today. Chicken with broth, onion, carrots, celery, spinach, corn, peas and egg noodles.

Chanukah dinner of sirloin, cooked SV then seared, latkes (from TJs) and steamed snap peas.

Taste. I thought some salt vastly improved the flavor but when she tried she just said “now it just tastes salty.”

In addition to the supplied cooking instructions I put them under the broiler for few minutes to get the ski9n extra crisoed up. 😉 I thought the purple rice was ok, but the wife didn’t like it.

Duck with orange sauce, purple rice and snap peas. The duck was from a Costco package. Purple rice done in the IP.

Pizza with salami, pepperoni and mushrooms.

One of my favs!

Well, I’ve never had nut loaf so I couldn’t say. It’s like a burger but mine has oatmeal, onion, carrots and celery cooked in.

Meatloaf, served with sweet potatoes in brown sugar sauce.

Pork chop, cooked in the NFG, served with roasted Brussels sprouts, also made in the NFG.

Well that one was Campbells! But my recipe is 1/2 lb of split peas, a finely diced onion (or onion powder if you are lazy), about a pound of thick sliced carrots, half a pound of ham chunks, 1/2 tsp liquid smoke, 1/4 cup of cream sherry, salt, pepper, a bay leaf or two and 1 quart of chicken stock. All but the carrots goes in the IP (8 quart) and cook on high pressure for about 10 minutes, then quick release, add carrots and cook on high pressure for another 6 minutes. Natural release from there. The soup will be loose but good on the first night. It will thicken considerably in the fridge overnight, so I add water when reheating. Same recipe also works for lentils.

Tuna salad sandwich on toasted rye, with split pea soup.

Fried rice with char siu, carrots, peas and corn.

I am not an expert but it would appear that 21 DE atomized glucose is not glucose "diluted" to 21% by the addition of starch. Rather the process of turning the starch into glucose is stopped at 21% of the value of pure dextrose. What is leftover is not cornstarch but rather dextrins (and likely mostly maltodextrin).

Orange chicken (from a Costco box), cooked in the air fryer, with rice from the IP and steamed green beans.

Cold and rainy weather calls for chicken soup. With onion, carrots, celery, peas, corn, spinach and egg noodles.

I have only done one cook. A whole chicken on the smoker. The thermometer portion worked well, the predictive part needs work, but that’s why it’s in beta.

Pizza, with salami and mushrooms.

Sirloin, cooked SV then seared, served with steamed carrots with butter.

Chicken on Thanksgiving (by request from DW), cooked on the pellet grill, using the Combustion predictive thermometer. Served with baked potato (cooked alongside chicken) and green beans (boiled to death, also at the request of DW) with bacon bits and crunchy onions.

Taquitos and refried beans (both store bought) with homemade Spanish-style rice.

I got a notification

Yes I paid for them. They are working (functionally) but I have not cooked with them yet.

Pot roast, made in the IP, served with baked potato and steamed Brussels sprouts.

Got my units today. All I have done so far is to turn on the base and the thermometer. They automatically pair which is nice. Charging the base now, will report back when I have had a chance to do a cook.
