As far as size and type: I have the 5-½ cup Induction model. I don't think induction adds anything to the final product. If I were buying a model today, I'd get the 3 cup version (smaller footprint) 3 cups uncooked rice makes a LOT of rice unless you cook for a load of people. Aside from that I don't think you can go wrong with any of the versions.

Without question, if my Zoe stopped working tomorrow I would have a new one within 48 hours. It makes the best possible rice of any kind. At times I’ve used it up to three times a week, and every single time the race is perfect even after using it for about 15 years.

I have noticed the same thing, it happens with most of my vacced cheeses. Sometimes I wrap the culprit in a piece of paper towel to absorb the liquid, of course that doesn't solve the real problem.

I LOVE Better Call Saul! What a magnificent cast. Sorry to see it come to an end.

I agree, unless one is packaging their own meat or game, I just don't see it for the average household. I have a Foodsaver that I use every day and it's quite adequate for my needs.

Maybe you're overthinking this?

Anyone looking for a 3 cup Zo rice cooker? EverythiingKitchens has it on sale now along with a lot of other stuff.

It's turned cold again here so last night I wanted hot soup for dinner. Found a recipe for Kielbasa and Cabbage Soup which I could throw together fairly quickly. Turned out very good and felt warming. On the down side I managed to plug up my disposer. In addition to the malfunctioning furnace I'm beginning to feel like I'm related to @JoNorvelleWalker

Kitchenware junkie that I am, I am actually very late to this party. Rather like @gfwebI don' have much of a sweet tooth (salt and savory foods are my thing). However, warm weather is coming along with fresh fruit and it seemed a good idea to be able to make homemade ice cream. A Ninja Creami is headed my way. My all-time favorite ice cream is Starbucks coffee ice cream which I can't find here so I'm looking for a knockoff recipe. Anyone got any ideas?

LOL = lots of limes.

I'm really loving this series. I think both the characters are truly engaging. Never was a big fan of DHP but he does a fine job here; I must have underestimated him. When I saw that he had been cast as Paul, I didn't think he would fit but he really does. I'll be sad when the series ends.

How long did you cook them in the IP? I do like carrots and yours look very good.

Not from an Italian cookbook, I think the writer refers to him/herself as a slow roasted Italian. Nevertheless, the recipe was absolutely insanely good.

Tonight's dinner is going to be Mongolian Beef with sticky rice and salad. Recipe is from the slow roasted italian.

I had no idea there was such a thing as the vent system you have, it sure would have been something I'd have been interested in.

Major advancements have been made in the last 10 years or so. Icemakers are built so much better these days. I wouldn't hesitate in accepting one now.

I see you have a nice range hood (as well as a beautiful range). Is it direct-vented? Or do you vent up through the building? Because my previous kitchen didn't have kitchen venting (and it was impossible to add it due to the layout) a rang hood was a must-have in my current house. I can't tell you how much it has improved my life. I no longer have to live with the lingering odors that can hang around for days.

In this new house I have a GE Café fridge. Even though I had to repair the icemaker twice in my old fridge I simply couldn't live without an icemaker; l just use it too often. This fridge has a smaller, more space efficient icemaker that is also enclosed so to not pick up food odors. It also has a very sturdy water hose. I'll take my chances.

Me too!

I have Dish and get LCK through Bravo.

Yes. I get mine from the nearby meat packing shop, however, surprisingly, I see it now at my neighborhood grocery store. I shop only using their website, so I haven't actually seen it in person. The picture is only of a slab of cut bacon, no branding whatever. Maybe they get it where I go, it's possible.

Tonight I’m making bacon jam again. I kind of forgot about it over the winter. I can’t get over how wonderful it smells while it’s cooking. I made Some big dinner rolls and I think it will go really well with those for a lunch or a simple breakfast. Best thing is using it for hamburgers. I’m gonna have to get some more jalapeño bacon.

I made the mistake of buying a box of See's Peanut Brittle.... OMG, this stuff is amazing and I can't keep my hands off it.

The do but they're still in the way. I no longer use long stemmed wineglasses.

Yes. Love it.
