I'm waiting to see the specs on the anova oven.

I forget to whom to give the credit but I convection bake my sweet potatoes three hours at 275F in the CSO. In fact I was about to put one on to cook just now -- howsoever I decided I didn't want to wait that long for dinner.

The Goose of Christmas Past.

Rapid mode will result in more bouncing than gentle mode if that helps.

Down to $194.31 from $299.00 moments ago. Jeff must lie awake at night.

Couscous with leftover restaurant bastille. CSO did yeoman service. Out of the corner of my eye I saw what I thought was a cockroach on my cutting board. Turns out it was a stinkbug. Not all that much more welcome in my kitchen.

Hot knife reps.

I use a Chef's Choice 1520 about once a week. But don't tell anyone here. They will make fun of us.

Not to my knowledge but I believe you do get a notification below 15 percent charge.

You should have pulled the trigger yesterday...$299.00 at the moment.

I grilled one on the Philips the other night. https://forums.egullet.org/topic/157787-dinner-2019/?do=findComment&comment=2227643

If I didn't worry about getting juices all over me and the kitchen I might find it more calming. The mushrooms I wanted were little brown ones, with the gills still closed or barely open. I would have been happy enough with little white. But what amazon sent were saucer sized adult Portobello.

Bell & Evans chickens were on sale on amazon. When will I ever learn? There are few culinary tasks I despise more than breaking down a chicken. Besides, amazon could not supply the mushrooms I needed for my chicken cacciatore. Anyhow, two dishwasher loads later dinner was a breast quarter steam baked in the CSO. Mashed potato and peas.

I found the hard way that my big GE oven cut out as well. Fortunately there was a firmware setting buried somewhere in the manual.

I have not tested but I am pretty sure the unit never shuts off below 214F. If doing a 72 hr cook I'd keep the sensor plugged in so the battery did not run out. However the Paragon would not be my tool of choice for a 72 hr cook. I do know from experience that at 375F the unit will shut off if left unattended long enough. Press and hold the + and - buttons together for three seconds to toggle the display to Celsius. Edit: sorry, I misread, I see you already figured this out.

I too used to write product manuals at one point in my life. I know it is not as easy as it looks. It may not be necessary to charge the sensor before first use. But as I said I charged my sensor anyhow. Had you first tried as the quick start guide directed?

Forgot to mention, I had my first Cosmic Crisp two nights ago -- $3.49 a pound as I recall. Shape reminded me of Red Delicious, never a good sign. Skin was thick. Taste and texture reminiscent of raw potato. But it was not horrible. To my mind the worst apple sin is mealiness and my Cosmic Crisp was certainly not mealy. My favorite apple variety remains Lady Alice.

@Anna N I forgot to mention, when the battery is not charged the sensor can be used while it is connected to a charger.

When the sensor is operating properly the Bluetooth indicator will flash about every five seconds. The sensor does not read BAC.

You never read Dick Tracy?

This was supposed to have been chicken cacciatore. It isn't. Amazon sent the wrong mushrooms. I had never cooked Portobello mushrooms before. Here with deckle portion of dry aged ribeye.

Anyone with a gas chromatograph? There probably is celery in there someplace. At what level would celery have to listed by name as an ingredient? Besides peanuts my primary use for Lowry's is on corn on the cob.

To look at it a different way, if the plate is 135F you should be able to put your finger on it. (Please don't try that experiment.)

Amazon's price for the CSO is now up to $292.94. Quite a change from $99.

Indeed, a little goes a long way. Probably some weeks before I open the jar again.
