They don't actually heat or cool, but rather keep things hot or cold. p

Kooltron that I had years ago could be used to heat or cool - 12v DC voltage and depending on the polarity would do either. p

For Canadians: Amazon.ca https://www.amazon.ca/shops/A3K4I3WD8ACK7F?ref_=v_sp_storefront Lots of cheap stuff, I figure he's trying to advertise. p

Campfire? p

@andiesenji There's a lot to be said about living an "unclean and unhealthy" childhood. p

Did you use your new torch to brown the rack? p

So I took advantage of this on Wednesday morning, I received it the next day (Thursday) - Pretty fast as it started out in Utah! btw the shipping to Canada (not as international as Australia I guess) was $14 p

I favour paper napkins, paper plates and plastic utensils...but that's just me. p

That's a Canadian bargain!!! p

I'm an instant pot user and pleased with it. However I'm allergic to eggs so I would omit them from the above recipe. So I have to ask, is this an efficicient use of this machine to cook 1 1/2 cups of pasta? p

But uses a lot more energy p

Do you like Amazon? Do you like Whole Foods? If your answer to both questions is the same, then you don't have a problem. However if your answer is slpit, then you might have to re-evaluate your feelings. http://www.ctvnews.ca/business/amazon-is-buying-whole-foods-in-us-13-7b-deal-1.3462171 p

On amazozon.ca it's $45, but they have the 4 tray model for $25: https://www.amazon.ca/TABAKH-DC-104-4-Plate-Stainless-Dhokla/dp/B00NITGRCK/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1496881546&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=Tabakh+DC-103 p

If the mother likes the knives and they work for HER then that should be the end of the story! Daughter can bring her own knives or not cook. p

Can't help with comparisons, but would a thinner pan be more "responsive" than a thick one? Aluminum won't work on induction. p

Sounds like an expensive salad spinner p

@btbyrd What's a "drying oil", does it take the water out of things? Dehydrate? p

@rotuts, I think you were spot on regarding the power differences and how that might be affecting the performance, but nitpicking-wise I think the "chips" were probably designed for low voltage DC and it's the power supply that is designed to deliver it. p

@MelissaH - I was only thinking of the Kindle eReader, I hadn't considered using a tablet. I'm familiar with the Kindle app and have used it with my tablet, not as convenient than the hardcopy, but cheaper and taking up less space. p

I don't have a Kindle, I do have a different brand. On my eReader the only way of going to a different page (if it's not the next one) is to input the page # and then go there, unless the author has made the page# a hyperlink. Not too convenient for me as I often keep a finger in a page while I flip to another and then back to the original page, how does a Kindle handle this? p
