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

Not exactly a recall, but rather a warning: https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/cdc-warns-of-multi-state-listeria-outbreak-linked-to-deli-meats-1.5159433 p

@ElsieD - it's similar to forks - you never know how many mouths they've been in, but it's never a conscious thought. p

So many choices...so many missteps available 💗 p

Well, so long as it isn't plugged into an Alexa controlled socket. p

I wouldn't use it for heavy tasks as it does look thinner than the rack. But, having said that, I'm assuming because it has more cross beams supporting it, the bend in it under my Le Creuset is about the same as the rack. It'd be great for steaming/roasting and I'd have no qualms about putting meat or vegetables directly on it. I doubt I'd have issues with a normal pan as compared to the rack either given the similar bend now that I think about it. These are the full posts I was referring to and his suggestion of using it to roast on. Sorry for the confusion. p

My big concern with racks of the "cross-hatch" design is the subsequent cleaning of baked on residue. Soaking does help as does using a brush, but I'll stick to the parallel rod design for easier cleanup. p

Due to increased demand and covid restrictions, that new stove under the Christmas tree might be a no-show. https://www.ctvnews.ca/business/whoever-has-stock-right-now-is-king-surging-appliance-sales-cause-shortages-1.5134488 p

Speaking of onion flavour - Amazon.ca has "Bisto Chef's Specials Caramelised Onion - 25g" $4.88 BUT $15.00 shipping!!! It's 25g, but makes 350ml Delivery is Nov 27 - Dec 31 maybe in time for New Years 😁 Not in my cart! p

I appreciate your despair of using your copper, but unfortunately the process of using an induction plate somewhat defeats the induction cooker's purpose. You have to heat the plate which in turn heats the pot which finally heats your food. If other than appearance your copper has other advantages, then it might be worthwhile. p

Perhaps a "pinning" is in order also a cross-posting in CSO forum p

I live just outside (15 minutes) a relatively small town (30,000) and feel I'm spoiled for grocery shopping options. I won't rate them as they are more similar than dissimilar. Zehrs Food Basics Walmart Metro No Frills Costco Giant Tiger Obviously Costco being a member only store might not qualify and Giant Tiger is like a mini Walmart as it sells clothes etc as well as food and is not as well stocked as the others in that area. The only drawback of this cornucopia of options is that few exotic products are on offer. There's only one store that has anchovies other than in a can or as a paste! p

@liuzhou - well written and entertaining post! 😁 Unfortunately some of what you relate makes my shopping peeves pale in comparison. p

At first glance, I read "guy" instead of gyro and would have suggested you get out more. That being said, I've never had a gyro at all, back then the area where I grew up was not very culturally diverse and my culinary adventures were confined to jello salad. p
