VEVOR: https://www.vevor.com/s/dz-260c
My pick, based on price and features - basically you're buying the machine with little or no support, but after a couple of weeks, I'm happy - Youtubers like it - roughly 1/3 to 1/4 the price of the Vacmaster

@rotuts Big up on headspace and resealing - I do that with big slabs of cheese (400 g) - keeps it fresh and un-moldy

Unsure of exactly what you're looking for, but I googled "Molcajete serving plate" and choosing images gave me a number of results

I've had a dry pump machine for almost ten years and it has not given me any problems. If you're doing high volumes or sealing a lot of hot liquid for some reason, maybe an oil pump would be worth paying extra for. But for casual use at home, dry pumps are fine.
I believe you and I have the same machine (Vacmaster VP112) - mine has also worked flawlessly until now - it has suffered a catastrophic mental illness (it's brain-dead) the control board emits a high-pitched sound - it still works but that noise can't be good! - the VP112 has been discontinued and parts are unavailable - factory technician suggested I try EBay
I ordered and received today a Vevor DZ-260c chamber vac - oil pump, 12 inch sealing bar - $535CDN vs $1249CDN for the cheapest Vacmaster (VP215)
No brainer as far as price and obviously I don't expect Vacmaster quality - Chinese import and Youtube reviews point out its idiosyncrasies (weaknesses?) - but if it performs as illustrated in reviews I'll be happy
Seems a better deal than the Foodsaver choice imho

Kinda not exactly what the law states.
Yes, there are number of exemptions, such as for emergency backup power and for commercial food establishments, laboratories and car washes. But as I read it "New York state is banning natural gas stoves and furnaces in most new buildings"
Pretty damn close to "exactly"

Hey NewYorkers - Any new buildings in the state are banning the use of gas:

@Jon S
The app is nice but unnecessary - my APO works perfectly using the controls on the bar - I got it based on its hardware capabilities not its software

I broke down and ordered a bottle @ Amazon.CA - I tried it on some left over beef Rice a roni - found it predominantly salty, but other notes as well
btw I did the Rice a roni from scratch in my Zoh rice cooker and did not brown the vermicelli first - used white rice, harder setting- anyone tried this? any suggestions?

Chicken bones tend to splinter as they are hollow - I was told never to give a dog chicken bones because of that

Some "opinions":
Salamander - I don't know prices of gas but I had a reasonably priced electric
Combi Oven --->APO probably 10 times cheaper and worth the price
Pot filler - relatively cheap and worth it
Just my thoughts

This has to be in everyone's kitchen

You realize of course that if you hadn't married your husband, you wouldn't find yourself in this predicament, but then the rest of us would have less to talk about 😁

So I want to buy an air fryer...which one should I get?
A Cosori?
I hear good things about them.
Not to belittle your painful experience with them Anna, but did no one at head office not foresee the harm they are doing to their brand
I don't do social, but to those that do, get the word out on their policies and practices in this regard
@Anna N I hope you have a happy resolution to this problem, you and others in this boat deserve better!

Modernist Pantry looks at the growed up iCreami - here. Watch with the CC on for extra amusement. I'm picturing Janie drinking on the duck.
Duck vs dock - tiny feet and good balance 😀
I didn't know there was an upgrade - if I was starting over again, I would go for the new version (depending on $CDN price), but as I already have one I would stick with the original - larger size containers, more functions and a more substantial build seem to be worth the additional cost

Anova "Precision Chamber Vacuum Sealer"
in Kitchen Consumer
Posted
@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. 😃
