Haven't heard back from you p

Strawberry huller? p

I see you're a Breville fan as well - how's that "a little bit more" work for you? p

"Live Chat" is usually just talking to a computer with a database of pre-programmed responses - my experience at any rate p

Rabbit Hole Alert: https://www.thisoldhouse.com/painting/21018327/all-about-polyurethane More than I ever wanted or needed to know 😁 p

This is a quote: Polyurethane wood finish offers durability and water resistance. This makes it a popular alternative to more traditional coatings such as shellac or lacquer. Learning how to apply polyurethane to stained wood can enhance the appearance of the stain while protecting the surface from scratches and more. Minwax is a popular brand. p

Or Lid Grabbers!!!

Well for about half the price I have the Zojirushi NP-HCC10XH, which I'm mighty pleased with 😉 https://www.amazon.ca/ZOJI-Zojirushi-NP-HCC10XH-Induction-Stainless/dp/B00VAG84O2/ref=sr_1_8?gclid=Cj0KCQjw_viWBhD8ARIsAH1mCd7oDnmq5H8ez87HZWT47JeEkh1JKHP1LL9X3yDOD2AaI0oiulaUOoMaAgCzEALw_wcB&hvadid=232516112804&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=1002400&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=14193729701323109596&hvtargid=kwd-329823087564&hydadcr=21260_9444673&keywords=rice+maker+zojirushi&qid=1658776589&refinements=p_85%3A5690392011%2Cp_89%3AZojirushi&rnid=7590290011&rps=1&s=kitchen&sr=1-8 AmazonCA doesn't even stock Jo's p

A thought...Kitchen Aid has an attachment - no idea how efficient, or why it wouldn't suit your needs It may have been discontinued as I couldn't find it on Amazon(CA) - I bought on when I got my first KitchenAid - never used and ended up giving to my sister-in-law - other sources have it for about $190 CDN p

Looks like something a pathologist would use to microplane samples for analysis p

Think of the inner lid of a canning jar after you remove the ring - if you tried to remove the whole lid at once it would be nigh on impossible - if you managed to get it started on one side (edge) the whole lid would lift off easily The opener Anna is using wedges up one edge of the lid, breaking the vacuum and making it easy to unscrew. Now that I've totally confused you, you should go buy weinoo's or mine, which are much less obscure 👅 p

I have this one: https://www.amazon.ca/Kichwit-Adjustable-Jar-Opener-Arthritis/dp/B071V3G23Y/ref=sr_1_37?crid=H2MNO30XTZUO&keywords=robotwist+jar+opener&qid=1658526850&refinements=p_85%3A5690392011&rnid=5690384011&rps=1&sprefix=robotwist%2Caps%2C117&sr=8-37 Not as good looking, but 1/2 the price of yours (in Canada) - it works too! p

I'm partial to the Swissmar Borner V Power Mandoline V-7000 - I find it cuts well, even deli meats- I have "no-cut" gloves but seldom (if ever) use them - this unit has an excellent/efficient guard/feeding system that deals with all but the smallest nubbin p

Not stupid for leaving them for someone else who doesn't (shouldn't) cook much. p

A recipe that appeals to the non-mad scientist - let us know how it turns out ElsieD 😋 p

Added a 16 Tb drive to my NAS so I can store all my recipes p

Yes the COSORI Smart WiFi Air Fryer does work with Alexa and it doesn't have the "EYES", but it also doesn't have a bottom element. https://www.amazon.ca/COSORI-1700-Watt-Programmable-Roasting-Touchscreen/dp/B07VLKMMJ5/ref=sr_1_5?crid=2CI5L532LLMML&keywords=Cosori+Duo+Blaze&qid=1657613537&smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&sprefix=cosori+duo+blaze%2Caps%2C444&sr=8-5 p

Indeed, but the AF uses less electricity even than the CSO p

Aside from Air Fryer eggs, I was researching baked potatoes in an AF (Yes Anna on the internet 🙂) Well I found it really isn't any faster than an oven. I wondered about pre-baking in the microwave. Well long story short 6 minutes in MW and 25 minutes in AF - faster than the 45 - 60 minutes in oven alone. BUT I stumbled on this site (just linking the potato blog) https://foodcrumbles.com/experimenting-with-potatoes-in-the-air-fryer/ The site reminds me of ATK "this is why the recipe works and why not" - their motto is Learn how your food ‘works’ I haven't explored the site very much but it looks intriguing Another topic: https://foodcrumbles.com/why-and-when-to-use-potato-starch-in-baking-tested-cakes-cookies-brownies/ Worth a look-see p

YouTube/TikTok/Facebook and other social media sources are not the most reliable of sources - good place to start but not a bible p

To paraphrase Johnny Cochran "If it fits, it must be good" p

Temperature might be the key (higher than 320 - you can always check on progress) p

if they are "18680" batteries, Amazon has outboard chargers, but obviously you have to remove the batteries to charge them not good solution Did you try it before they were charging? They should have some juice in them from the factory - it might be the blender and not the batteries 😨 p
