nonna may have created the best pasta, but that's not to say she wouldn't try new things. p

Wanted to do a bit of exploring and was trying to download the android app it says it's not compatible with my device (Sony phone, Sony tablet and Samsung tablet) but it would let me download and install on Amazon Fire tablet. Anyone else having these problems? p

Anyone from Canada gotten this - what was shipping like - total cost including shipping? Where was it purchased? p

https://www.seriouseats.com/2013/05/ask-the-food-lab-can-i-start-pasta-in-cold-water.html Towards the end of the article it talks about pre-soaking pasta. I like the idea of just tossing it into your sauce to cook. p

I was doing a little reading and it was suggested that you could soak pasta for a couple of hours and then pop it into boiling water for a couple of minutes and presto done! This is regular dried pasta not fresh or ramen. The reasoning was that pasta requires two steps, hydrating and cooking, the hydrating needs the most time and cooking the least. Has anyone heard of this, tried it? What were your reactions? p

I recently made tomato/basil bread in my breadmaker and basically you just replace the water with tomato juice - I would think you could do the same with a rice cooker because the ingredients really don't interact with the innards. p

As a singleton the ability to make just a 1/2 cup is perfect for me (it will also handle larger quantities). I have the Zojirushi induction model and it makes perfect rice every time. Adding some frozen vegies also turns out well. I usually use basmati but Jasmin is also in my cupboard. p

Brilliant! p

Added to my list - blender - used to use it qute a bit for milkshakes but don't do milkshakes anymore. p

Breville Sous Chef food processer (with all the attachments) - too hard to clean 😞 p

I ALWAYS bargain hunt, plus Amazon is my goto shop 😀 p

Not to rain on your parade Anna, but cheaper on Amazon - I ordered two (10" x 10" - total $11.38 CDN) to use in BSO Air p

I never wash veggies, just rinse off dirt if present - still alive and kicking. p

I'm surprised Rite Aid has access to that information. p

I had one hooked up with plastic tubing - lasted 6 years with nary a problem until the mechanical part of the icemaker gave out - I don't think the plumbing would be covered by a maintenance contract as it's external to the fridge p

Sometimes the method is outweighed by practicality p

I have a similar pattern in blue tones in my entrance way - iconic 😉 p

What does the display indicate? p

I believe andiesenji has one and has posted about it. Here's a thread comparing to the BSO : p

Quick, easy cleanup, small quantity - I use mine mainly for frozen foods - fries, burgers, breaded fish portions - not a "cooker" per se but rather a faster more efficient alternative to frozen goods that suggest 20 minutes @ 400 - there's no pre-heat needed and I find because of the confined space less time required. Also gives nice browning on roasted vegetables frozen or fresh. p

From what I've read, even if it does "Air Fry" it would be massive overkill - as well as being 4 to 5 times the price and a air fryer is dead simple to use, again from what I reading here there's a learning curve to get it to do what you want. p

Not in my neck of the woods p

Cottage roll - I think it might be a regional naming convention. http://dondayinsma.com/2014/11/15/only-in-canada-you-say-not-any-more-now-you-can-make-it-in-mexico/ https://delishably.com/meat-dishes/Pork-Cottage-Roll-Pork-Recipe p

Just check Amazon for enameled cast iron - there seem to be quite the choice p

Probably to a degree - the BSO Air suggests using the basket for air frying and dehydrating, but it's worth trying p
