Anova seems to be clearing stock : got one for a friend.

ignoring @ $999 tempted @ $ 600 Sold @ $ 499. and I now have permanent comfortable counter space . Contractor will be picking it up tomorrow.

doing minimal work this is available as Lowes , for $ 499. they dont seem to ship. I have a contractor doing work here Electrical ( in the Companion thread ) some lights in the kitchen next time they visit , Ill ask them to puc me up one. afterall , Im all set on pellets. Smoked TB might be comming up siin

Does anyone know any current deals? is this sold @ Costco , attractively ? I have a friend ..... some significant counter space has opened up , and Ive give it serious consideration. Id have to accept a mid course correction but that seems doable thanis

Code still works. Don't ask me how I know that. Pls let me know when the MeatBaller becomes available. Free w shipping charge would be nice

@Maison Rustique when I gave it a dry run , the code appeared at Check-Out. give that a try and see.

how it mounts

@gfweb Excellent question . to cancel out the motion sensor , ie keep the light off you spin the fixture , just loosen the connection until the light goes off. I understand its not that expensive , less than an arm and a leg . maybe 1/2 leg.

@TdeV as I understand i , there are breakers , 15 amp and 20 amp what I learned is that each circuit , ie one 15 amp breaker means 15 amp max , not 15 amp taken out of the 200 amp max for the whole board. you can have more than 200amp if you add up all the sub circuits , as its rare for each sub circuit to draw the full load . and each circuit is not 15 am , but maybe 12 or 13 actual. pics of the new board Monday !

Contractor doing some electrical work . Yesterday : you just screw it into an existing standard fixture . motion set w switch under dome 2 m 5 m 10 . in closet // pantry in kitchen would work well in any closet w light fixture On Monday : a new one of these , up to date , more potential lines . a good deal of these circuits no longer work.

@ElsieD thanks . Ive used KerryGold ( unsalted ) a few times its about 2X $ USA ' better than generic butter. ' it certainly spreads easier at colder temps , and has a more pronounced ' fat ' mouth feel but to my taste , it does not have a higher ' butter ' flavor , if you will Land O Lakes and Cabot , ( esp Cabot ) have more ' butter ' flavor

@ElsieD ''' i was using unsalted butter, ''' ''' I'll use grocery store butter. ''' what is the difference between the two and how did those differences effect your result ?

@gfweb try 130.1 until tender . if you used shoulder , leaving tbe fat in there rather than tenderloin , or loin ( loin might be OK w a nice fat cap ) quite different , and very very tasty .

@Tropicalsenior You bet . soft crusty , like a Banh Mi . so the crust gets all over you not like hard crusted French Country that's for toast , in the CSO of course

@gfweb Pork sandwiches are frequently over looked. after all , pork is in the Cubano , for very good reasons. consider an hight temp charcoal grilled pork item leaving the insides very very rare . let it cool completely . remember the cary -over very rare is the key an no ,you wont get trichinosis ( OK 95 % chance you wont get it ) then slice that meat as thinly as you can ,. or even thinner then make a pork sandwich , of your choice w that . You could make a Pork-Dip , if you had some pork drippings to spare .

@DesertTinker very interestiong wonder if these time-to-tenderess translate to higher temps , ie 142.5 F Ill keep this in mind. thanks

@ElsieD for TB's I use 142.5 F 140f I found too ' rare ' , and 145 F had more jus ( which comes from the breast ) in the bag. I usually cook single or 1/2 breast for 6 - 8 hours , depending what time works best those times are for refrigerated breasts . Id guess its fine to cook from frozen , but cant tell you m,uch about the time from =Fz the concern is how long the inner meat would be in the danger zone. Im guessing that's not a significant problem , as that meat should be sterile but thats only a guess . would not want you to get sick on my guesses. pics are always nice.

@Shelby maybe next year you can rent an A.I. robot , w DeerScan ( DS ) you can all stay home , by the fire , and follow the outdoor action on a Monitor ! then ' pull ' ( i.e. push a button ) at the appropriate time ! all you would have to do is make gallons and gallons of EggNogg several months in advance . if you must endure cold and discomfort to make it Real you can sit on the porch for a few minutes at a time , in shorts ! A.I. seems to be popular these days it seems and I got the idea of the ' Shooting Monitor ' from The Day of the Jackal https://www.imdb.com/title/tt24053860/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_in_0_q_day%20of%20the%20 ***** No Spoilers ***** Episode 9 I highly recommend the show. if you can stand it , only more episode completes season one, this week !

the temperatures you might and should want in a slow cooker are those less that the standard 195 F ' low' on the inexpensive SC'ers are not that low.

iPot Ultra pick you size hopefully on sale . adjustable slow cooking temp. and lots and lots of other things , if you don't already have a iPot. you can use the regular lid w the Ultra or get the glass ( add on ) lid.

@Sid Post recently , CrockPot dinners came up in the Dinner thread @mgaretz posts them from time to time, a long w a new Nija he purchased.d I think @ Costco. He didn't find his iPot fit the bill . Thus I recalled that the iPot has a slow cooking button I looked into it . on the original , there were 3 choices . low came out 193 F and high 195 F I have issues w temps this high for meat . I also have an Ultra . on that model you can set the temp for the slow cooking to your desired temp 160 F came out 162 F. so Id look into an iPot Ultra , preferably on Sale , for Slow Cooking or , perhaps you already have one , as I did.

if this included the ' meat-baller ' insert , Id be interested. meatballs are the PITA part of MB and Spaghetti . MB's have to be round , or they are MP's : Meat Pucks . never seen MP's on a menu.

@Smithy I went to your ref not long after your initial post but got to a site that was not A4Box. I got to the site now , but I don't see anything about the deal . so for fun , went to the check-out page and used the ANNIVERSARY5 in the coupon box and indeed the unit is still free w 39.00 shipping . did not get it as I doubt it would be useful for me but the offer still stands when you use the coupon @ check out . good luck all !

@TdeV hope you get the $ 10 email soon !

P.S. : I purchased two items @ LLBean w the 15 % off. I got an email , w a unique code for me to take $10 off a future purchase , expires Jan 16th 2025
