  1. I'm a firm believer in always buying the best available, assuming there are objective reasons for "it" being better, so my vote is for the 402 p
  2. Not enough flies up here (Orillia) to justify the expense. but certainly entertaining. If it worked on mosquitoes it would be worth looking at, but I understand that's only for experts ☺️ p

  5. @ btbyrd alright you talked me into it - I didn't need another chef knife and the set you mention was $20 CDN - I opted for the single 7.5 inch nagiri type for $15 CDN: https://www.amazon.ca/7-5-Chefs-Knife-22-Kiwi/dp/B00549RFIC/ref=sr_1_11?crid=2I7KTZPUK36ZR&keywords=KIWI+Knife&qid=1661368612&refinements=p_85%3A5690392011&rnid=5690384011&rps=1&sprefix=kiwi+knife+%2Caps%2C266&sr=8-11 p
  6. Speaking of choil - I ordered this from Amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B007SPKPRI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I originally paid $15.00 and liked it so much I thought of getting another, but it was out of stock for months - back in stock but now $19.00 I ordered a second. The choil on it is about 1 mm and it has a flat cutting edge - not a great knife but extremely thin - great for vegies, cheese etc p
  7. I did, but it's not worth the trip - few pix but no real info p

    I believe the "Mixed Rice" setting refers to add ins such as vegies etc rater than mixed rice varieties if the rices require different cooking methods, I don't think one setting will do the trick, but as rotus has suggested, try it find out πŸ™‚ p

  11. I'm not in favour of technology just for the sake of technology, but my mw is a Panasonic with inverter technology which actually modulates the mw output rather than just cycling the power off and on - it's dead simple, a knob to tell it how long to cook and a start button, that's all you need to do everything that $4000 mw will do - however it does much more, defrost based on weight and set power level for slow heating. It has other functions but haven't seen the need. p

  13. I have a Max Burton ProChef 3000 (3000 watts) which has been discontinued. but the newer model is available https://www.amazon.ca/Industries-6535-ProChef-3000-Stainless-steel-temperature/dp/B01N5JOIED/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2J6HCSM0ZVEX2&keywords=max+burton+prochef+3000&m=AUJBRIGYRJ3Q8&qid=1661003012&s=warehouse-deals&sprefix=max+burton+prochef+3000%2Cwarehouse-deals%2C85&sr=8-3-catcorr I also have a Duxtop 1800 watt which is still available: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00GMCAM2G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 p
  14. If you can install or have access to 220 volts, I would suggest one that can use it (more than 1800 watts) - much better performance, but pricier. p
  15. You will definitely need 220 volts in the kitchen - how much that costs will depend on your locale You do realize that you will need a separate oven, either gas or electric as there is no such thing as an induction oven - cooktop only p

    I think the "micom" or "fuzzy logic" that Zojirushi employs actually is a piece of artificial intelligence living in your rice cooker that determines "what you did, but don't worry we'll fix it for you" so that your rice comes out well all the time - all the measuring and adjusting we do just makes it easier for the AI p

    Well you were probably doing something right the first time, which doesn't surprise me - the reason I reached out to them originally was because my Jasmine was turning out perfectly, but I was using that setting for the basmati and it was almost crunchy - I was informed to use 1 to 1.5 ratio and the white rice setting - great results since p

    The supplied "go" has markings for 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4, otherwise you have to do the math like Jo did and use a granulated cylinder p
  24. Yes, we CDN folks always need to specify the currency when quoting prices p
