I am happy, but not raving, with the way the CSO toasts my bread. I like my bread lightly toasted, so I set the dial to 1 or 2. If the bread is frozen, I set it for 3 and then watch it. The color is even across the top but the underside is lighter where the bread sits on the rack, giving a striped look. I am okay with that. That said, my favorite toast is still made in my old Toastmaster Automatic Pop Up Toaster. 😁

Thanks! I make my own dipping sauce. It is a combination of Heinz ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, sake (or dry vermouth), ginger, garlic and sugar.

Rotisserie Chicken, Oven Baked Duck Fat Potatoes and Green Peas: I had purchased the cooked chicken last week, portioned and froze it. For this meal, I preheated the oven to 350F, added some duck fat and the sliced potatoes to a covered dish, and baked for 30 minutes. Then I topped the potatoes with the defrosted portions of chicken, recovered and returned to the oven for another 30 minutes to reheat the chicken and finish the potatoes. The peas were cooked in the microwave from frozen.
