Good find 😀
On another note, I notice you have a "chain mail" scrubber hanging up - how do you like it?

Not sure what you want me to "expound" on, The BSO is an excellent product and is heads above any comparable product - does many things exceedingly well. The APO just does it a little better (3 separate discrete heat sources which can be combined) especially as it brings precise steam injection to the party which other than the CSO (although undersized) is not available to the average consumer.

BIG!!! to do about the new firmware push over at Anova Culinary Community Forums:
https://community.anovaculinary.com/c/anova-precision-oven/31
Seems the newest firmware push blew up pretty much everyone's oven - over 70 (and counting) unhappy campers - Anova has posted a fix and reverted back to a previous firmware version
At the the moment the only way to prevent a reoccurance is to disconnect from wifi
I asked about that and the response was "Will look into this for you. At this time there is not, short of disconnecting the oven from Wifi"
A further comment was "The last day’s experience clearly shows that this should be your top priority. One should be able to choose if when to download and install new software, What if you’re cooking for a big occasion and the oven starts behaving like it did this time? Probably happened to some people this time. So please, let us choose when to install new software."
Which is obviously the correct response Anova's wasn't
I still stand by all my kudos for this device and see this as just teething problems, but there does seem to be a disconnect between the manufacturer and the user

Put the BSO and the CSO together and you have the APO - don't connect to wifi and other than your wife and cat no one will yell at you, especially your toaster

Without bringing the APO into the discussion the folk at Breville did indeed do a "smart" thing with their oven - it's all you really need

Thankfully, I have my device set to my needing to confirm upgrades (very bad experience with Calibre Companion). So I'm usually behind the times when it comes to upgrades.
Why do you use Calibre Companion as opposed to plain Calibre - CC is a paid app whereas Calibre is free - I use it with a Fire HD tablet and previously nwith many other devices (Sony EReaders etc) - works flawlessly

Perhaps a rule to follow - don't connect to wifi unless you plan to use it

Maybe mine isn't connected to wifi as its been a while since I've used the app, so I got no upgrade prompts, but as I say I usually use it in manual mode - if that power cycling was universal then every APO would have been doing the same thing!!!

I seldom use the app as I find it just as easy manually make my choices - doing bread at the moment - preheated to 150, turned off to proof - preheating to 482 100%steam - will put in for 5 minutes and reduce heat to 350 bake, steam off for 20 - 30 minutes (going by degree of browning)

Question?
Could it not have been used in manual mode (not connected) by just using the control bar settings instead of the app?

I think the differences among air fryers might make this tough.
I was thinking of your bog standard round pot, heater above as opposed to air fryer "ovens", which I'm guessing what most people have, present company excluded - us egulleteers just can't leave a good thing alone 😇

@ Anna N & other Air Fryers - have you ever found "Air Fryer instructions" on any foods you've purchased?
Most preparation instructions are for oven or microwave.
Would they not be helpful as not everyone has access to someone like Anna N "to take one for the team" and benefit us with her experiences?

I don't understand because I defrosted it in its packaging. Then I salted it like you'd salt anything before roasting it, so no - it wasn't desiccated.
"desiccated" was a joke but if you defrosted it in its original packaging there was probably some liquid retained in the fish - but not to beat a dead horse (or salmon) bottom line it looked great and apparently tasted fine as well.

Google also told me many other Australian suppliers - try asking google yourself

36 hours in fridge should certainly have dried it up + salt = desiccated? 😛
It was just a thought

@weinoo - residual moisture from thawing?

Having both an Air Fryer and a BSOA - the BSOA runs a distant second - the Air Fryer's design concentrates the heat and convection at the food whereas the BSOA spreads it around the much larger oven cavity - if you can only have one the BSOA is the winner due to its much wider and varied applications, but don't expect air frying to be one of its strengths - the same goes for its dehydrating capabilities as compared to a dedicated dehydrator

My Air Fryer: Chefman 6.5 litre
Large size and most importantly the basket does not detach from the handle - hard to explain but the basket that you pull out and the basket you put the food in are all one piece my first air fryer had a separate food basket that you released by way of a button, second use the basket holder released expectantly and the food basket ended up on the floor with the food - that was a tout suite Amazon return - one of the attributes of this device is the "flat basket" which gives you more capacity "so they say"

I'm keen to read about how it compares to the air fryer function in the BSOA.
Or a dedicated Air Fryer

There are many reasons why some of us choose to purchase frozen burgers.
The ingredients in my frozen burgers are listed as beef, water, salt, herbs and spices. That sounds just about what would appear in ones I might make myself.
Here.No qualms about frozen burgers - it's my "go to" - just the doneness it was cooked at

Burgers on the Ninja Foodi Grill. These were the 1/3 lb Angus chuck frozen patties from Costco. Cooked from frozen on Medium for 8 minutes, flipped half-way through. (Cooked to medium rare.) Came out very good.
Maybe it's just me but a frozen burger cooked to medium rare seems unhealthy - it's just a thing about frozen, premade burgers (with all their "ingredients") as opposed to homemade burgers (even frozen)
