  1. Same. My original oven came with two flimsy pans. My current oven came with two sturdy pans.
  2. Yes. Toast 2.0 is noticeably crisper and darker than Toast 101. Feel free to create your own recipe.
  3. @palo is correct but the APO makes OK toast for me. The APO app has two quite different toast recipes.

    Forgive me @Raamo I saw your post in the lunch thread!

    Did you ever find the recipe?
  6. On my first Scottish expedition, an, I believe English, tourist with caravan picked up my traveling companion and myself from an afore mentioned cattle pocked one lane highway. She warned there was no food to be had in the direction we were going, and she most kindly vouchedsafe what leftovers she had. Her wisdom proved to be correct, save for another kind woman who shared a bucket of milk fresh from her cow. The second kind woman had never spoken with an American and she assumed from my funny accent that I must be English. I also shared in a lovely tea for helping with the sheep fank. I only wish I had had a sleeping bag with a full zipper. If the midges don't get you, there are sharks in the pristine blue waters.
  7. @Duvel did you bring home any of the what looked like stuffed Loch Ness monsters?
  8. Did they collect your urine for the dyeing of the wool? One of my fondest memories of Scottland was assisting in a sheep fank and being kicked in the face by a disgruntled ruminant who did not appreciate being picked up and carried onto a small boat. P.S. I still think those look like cows. Scottland is the only place I have been served warm milk.

    If only I had not bought a case.
  10. @Duvel based on my ramblings in Scotland in the 1960's and 1970's one thing about your travelogue that stands out as inauthentic is the picture of cattle on the two lane road. In my Scottish experience that would have been cattle on a one lane road. Of course a few miles from here there is a cattle crossing on (an albeit narrow) two lane road, but there is a one lane stone bridge on the way to the library where I work. Cows there are discouraged.
  11. @TdeV if you are seeing knobs you've had one too many mai tais.
  12. Haha, and you have to ask! I use my APO almost if not every day. This afternoon was for the Toast 101 recipe from the app. But like @TdeV I seldom use the app for anything but toast. The app allows one to create and save complex multistage recipes if that's your thing. The app also has a convenient air-fry preset that I sometimes use. My first APO developed a crack in the plastic near the water tank. Anova replaced the APO at no charge, paying postage both ways. Can't get much better unless they offered to carry it upstairs. Before that the water tank plastic cracked. Anova sent a replacement tank no questions asked. If my APO failed out of warranty I would have to purchase one again. I don't know how to live without it.

    I apprehended the offending charcuterie and executed the happy dispatch. I have my standards.

    I tried yesterday to throw out the last two hotdogs but I couldn't get to them.

    The leftover was the last of my chicken cacciatore. I found it in the anova.

    Tonight's dinner inadvertently sat out overnight. Keep this in mind should you never hear from me again.
  18. I've not had pork in some weeks, and tonight I went looking for some porkchops. What I found were $8.99 a pound, with "up to" 20 percent added water, salt, sugar, and spices. I passed. What I purchased was a much less expensive loin roast. I gave up buying loin roasts years ago because I never could figure out how to cook these loin roasts satisfactorily without drying them out like shoe leather. Reveled wisdom seems to be to start the loin roast at high heat for a few minutes then reduce heat to finish. As an alternative I thought of slicing the roast into* chops and grilling. Thoughts or suggestions? This message has time value. *admittedly tiny
  19. What do you mean by brittle?
  20. American lady fingers are soft sponge cake, (Continental) European lady fingers are hard biscuits. Not at all the same thing. From the picture your lady fingers look hard. Not what you want for trifle. Toes are revered the world over, but nothing competes with American fingers. Bake a proper genoise or use American lady fingers.
  21. Why I live at the post office.
  22. I shall never again attempt to open a bottle of ten year aged balsamic the day after I mopped the floor. However I must admit my kitchen smells lovely now.
  23. I thought of another: I use a Peltier cooler intended for storing wine.
