  1. Mine is similar...A long grill pan came with my GE it fits down the center but doesn't get the whole surface hot enough to cook anything. Pretty worthless,
  2. Right. iI've never eaten it except in a particular canned veggy soup. Maybe I would like it but probably will never know, it's not really a product seen much in these parts.
  3. No. I didn't see okra nor would I have bought it...I'm a Northerner, therefore I do not eat okra, I,ve been taught that it is slimy and icky.
  4. I just got my latest order from Nuts.com. Gotta love their cashews! Also got peanuts in the shell, dark chocolate nonpareils, red locorice bites, chocolate covered espresso beans, hot chocolate mix. Plent of egullet snacks.
  5. Today's lunch was a chicken patty from the freezer along with a potato bun, lettuce, slice of Swiss, thin slice onion, mayo and thin slices of a pretty decent tasting Roma tomato. Pretty good. I prefer Banquet brand patties when I can find them. Some brands are way under-seasoned
  6. I wonder if your unit is faulty. Other owners get great results with toast. I rarely have to change the setting on mine...I set it on 5, which is usually my minimum, then if it's not done I just press start again if necessary then keep an eye on it and stop it when I get the right doneness.
  7. Yes for the CSO No,for the Anova - because I've had mine for over a year and only used it once...I think it intimidates me.
  8. I have a GE 30" slide-in duel fuel similar to this one, it has the warming drawer (forget that, it is worthless). The range is now about 10 years old and going strong. (I especially like the electric oven for baking breads.)
  9. I can't wait for your reports. I bought an electric one some years ago but never figured out what to do with it so I sold it to a worker who was doing something around the yard. I wish I could have used it but it was just above my skill set.
  10. I have the nonstick inner pot for my IP and love it. Unless you need to pressure cook, the nonstick is the way to go...easy, easy cleanup.

    The Messermeister is my go-to peeler since way back when CI gave it its top rating. Howeve, while I agree it is the best peeler, I,ve never tried it on tomatoes.

    Urban honey

    Where I live it's very easy to distinguish bees from yellow jackets, they look quite different and they behave differently. But, yes, most people call all of them 'bees'.

    Dinner 2017 (Part 6)

    Along the same vein... I made what I thought was an innocuous cheesy potato slow cooker soup last week...which gave some serious Hershey squirts. Sorry if this is TMI for you.
  14. I stayed in Playa Junquilla for two weeks a few years back and, yes, it was adventurous. We managed to get a flat tire (some of the roads are pretty rough), and it was tricky to even find a place to have it changed.
  15. I think you might actually be able to change a tire with it.
  16. I've discovered that the IP gasket (as well as the gaskets of my other PCs) retain the odors of strong smelling ingredients. Recently I made Red Beans and Rice and the IP gasket still smells of it over a week later. Yesterday I took the gasket outside and hung it in the sun which seemed to help some. Next I'm going to try the trick that another poster (tropicalsenior, I believe) used, to PC some lemon and leaves (no leaves here) but I will try with just lemon.
