Well nothing kitchen related (still looking) but a couple of computer/network items are making their way to me - Anova, KitchenAid and other well-known brands are also discounted p

@Smithy I know where Minnesota is, but you could check on Amazon US Amazon CDN Prime Day: https://www.amazon.ca/Personal-Portable-Electric-Potlucks-Kitchen/dp/B07XJVP75Y?pf_rd_r=CGQ1763C4JXKBKT4FKEA&pf_rd_t=Events&pf_rd_i=primeday&pf_rd_p=2f9e664f-8639-49b0-8ba2-7c94fad929c2&pf_rd_s=slot-6&ref=dlx_prime_gd_dcl_img_204_3ce034b4_dt_sl6_c2 Considerably cheaper than "Hotlogic" p

So it's today and tomorrow Haven't found anything I needed or wanted yet but still looking How about you? p

@lemniscate "I bought a Breville BTA730XL" After a number of toasters over the years, I would rate this as one of the best, if not the best I have had. They have really gone up in price since I purchased mine in 2020 (CDN$88) , now they don't seem to be available on Amazon.ca directly (CDN$165 + $20 import fees) I hope yours was a lot cheaper 😃 p

Which is why the skin tastes salty and the meat doesn't p

$450 CDN https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004387950311.html?gatewayAdapt=Msite2Pc p

I guess since I seldom (if ever) use the app, it had probably lost the connection and I never noticed (or cared?) p

Why does it matter? p

Full sheet pan - 26 x 18 - not much use afterwards? p

WARNING! WARNING! I do tend to wander off the beaten track on my inet travels It's a rabbit hole as to how I ended up here: https://disgustingfoodmuseum.com/most-disgusting-foods-in-the-world/ This is not a "click" to see funniest content! Century eggs would be the only selection that I might see on someone else's table, having heard of them previously An interesting side route not to be extensibly explored, but might be found on Google maps 🥸 p

Since I seldom (if ever) use the app, mine needed to be updated - maybe that's why I got an email p

What's it taste like? https://apnews.com/article/labgrown-chicken-cultivated-meat-863e7d68c8c4a5293683a7c5d6a58d15 p

https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/21/business/cultivated-meat-us-approval/index.html How will this affect vegans? p

Received an email today from Anova informing me of an update to their oven app: "A new update just went live for the Anova Oven App. This app update is the first step in our transition to a new cloud infrastructure — with a mandatory Oven firmware update soon to follow." "When to update: It's very important to update your app to version 1.1.0 or higher before our new Anova Precision™ Oven firmware goes live in early July. Why: If you fail to update your app ahead of the firmware release, you'll lose connection with your oven from your mobile device — and nobody wants that." This info seemed to be lacking in background about the new firmware (what to expect) and sounded rather ominous Just an aside the app update went very smoothly with none of the connection issues I had experienced in the past p Anyone else received this info? and what do you make of it? p

As to "bare bones" noodles - any one tried HAIKU Ramen Noodles - definitely cheap from Amazon p

Air Fryer preprogramed settings are just programmed in suggestions - personally I just choose "Air Fry" and choose my own temp and time p

I think a "Variety of colours" may be limiting - (hey, if you're in Canada, says so in your profile!) p

Largest one possible and don't choose the "oven type" - racks have to be re-positioned and allow food and coatings to fall through, they claim a larger volume but the reality is different - "Instant" makes one that I would recommend https://www.amazon.ca/Instant-Pot-Vortex-Plus-Fryer/dp/B07VHFMZHJ/ref=sr_1_5?crid=3L5L3IXK9WRU3&keywords=instant%2Bair%2Bfryer&qid=1686389888&sprefix=instant%2Bair%2Bfryer%2Caps%2C79&sr=8-5&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.71722c10-739d-471b-befb-3e4b9bf7d0d6&th=1 Prices have gone up by about $CDN40 since I got mine!!! p

With your "username" I would have thought you would have chosen a French banneton 😃 p

They work for me - fold bag and slid the gripstix thingie between the fold - think of a "U' and pokie thing goes between the arms of the U - easier to do than explain - there must be a video p

APO vs regular cooking You may find the hosts to your liking or not

In July of 2021 they panned it as a "Smart Oven" saying it was "Not Recommended" (full review is paywalled) Flash forward to Jan 2023, it is now "The Best Countertop Steam Oven" and as the "Winner" and "Top Pick" was "Recommended" (again, full review is paywalled) I guess the passage of time has modified their results One point, it seems they still can't get the Bluetooth connection working - unless I'm mistaken the APO is WIFI not Bluetooth, at least mine is WIFI! p

Mine was shipped out of Toronto, assuming they are still maintaining that hub, it shouldn't take long (this was some time ago though) p

https://www.canadianappliance.ca/product/Cafe_CCHS900P2MS1_Range_Cafe_CCHS900P2MS1.html Might have one in stock😁 p

@dtremit Compared to the Anova, its size is definitely a drawback, but as chamber vacuum sealers go the Anova is an outlier - check out size and weight of the competition - aside from price, my main concern was for a 12 inch sealing bar - but not having the space is definitely a deciding factor in your case - having a chamber vacuum sealer is much, much better than not having one. 😃 p
