palo

Guys - time to get an APO - I can't guarantee its longevity nor quirks, but it does a CSO inside out as far as functionality and it takes a much bigger sheet pan p

That ground beef packaging looks unique - I've never seen/heard of that - I wonder if after opening then resealing if they have a tendency to re-freeze into a clump p

I think athough it may avoid "spoilage" in terms of safety, it may impact the taste/texture through drying out p

Could it be that the process is to put the rice in and then add water to the line my rice cooker (Zojirushi) works that way p

I had a problem with that claim as well p

My point was that I don't believe you can take cold rice and reheat for serving, you can certainly use warming or extended warming after it has cooked but it does not "reheat" rice p

@ElsieD - NP-HCC10 I find the 1/2 (rice) cup is ample for me - don't be misled by "warming", it's actually "keep warm", so you'll have to find an alternative vessel to reheat your leftovers. p

Yes the Zos are definitely worth the price in terms of performance and longevity p

As a singleton I opted for the smaller 5 cup model which I usually only fill to 1/2 cup or 1 cup on infrequent occasions - has more than enough capacity for me, a family, maybe not. p

I don't think they are faster, just better at distributing and controlling heat - not at all sure about pressure p

So where are you hiking? p

Are you using it open or closed? Same plate (grill or griddle) on both sides? Open should have same temp, but closed the lower might get hotter due to convection - same plates - I bought extras so I can have grill or griddle top and bottom at the same time - I think there might be a difference depending on which plate you're using p

So instead of "hot" and "not so hot" sides you have "not so hot" and "not so hot" sides - doesn't work for me I have the Smart Grill - it doesn't have separate controls for the sides just time and temp - works fine https://www.breville.com/us/en/products/grills-sandwich-makers/bgr820.html?sku=BGR820XL p

I'm surprised the paint can didn't melt -great series of photos!!! p

Baby steps p

Well done Super girl. It is definitely heavy and unwieldy!!! p

Are you in Florida? p

Other way in Orillia - I guess carrying empty bottles was easier than full ones p

Not to be an a**hole (though I may be!) but hone/home which would you use? p

Very much like our store in Orillia - they store the beer in a refrigerated storeroom in the back - so if you want to have a cold one on the drive home/????? Actually I think all the beer stores in Ontario have the same setup - unless they're a really small outlet that doesn't have room for cold storage - their customers have to drink warm beer on the way home 😝 p

Same with The Beer Store in Orillia p

Ontario used to be very restricted My father had an "Individual Liquor Permit" in 1961 that he had to have to buy booze. My first experiences were when you had to look up what you wanted on huge lists - then fill out a request form, take it to cashier, pay and then someone went into a big closed off warehouse-like area in the back to get what you wanted Many years later they had stores where the actual bottles were on display and you took what you wanted to the cashier - still owned and run by the government - PROGRESS!!! Nowadays beer and wine are available in most grocery stores - no spirits though and not a great selection Times have changed, but still not perfect p

That plastic paddle is "hard" plastic and I've been scared of it - I use a silicon spatula that is somewhat like a scoop (scoopula?) p

Tried that but to no avail - maybe my CSO was really, really sick or I just didn't execute well enough Actually the trick that finally worked was to purchase an APO 😀 p
