Nor me. I shelled out for an iPhone 13. My Nikon DSLR and primes have been on long loan to a friend. I'm not sure I'll ever pick them up again. The iPhone 13's low light capabilities are amazing. Focal lengths of 13-26-75 not what I'd choose but there are quality pixels to burn for crops. Computational photography is turning all our good gear into the equivalent of the box Brownie.

The covid-safe reasoning behind that eludes me. And, I'm sure, you and many more.

It was a rooster leg. I've enjoyed this series. Wire him up with a hidden dinner-cam.

Thanks Chris. I was wondering if the Neapolitan master recipe KMp326 has changed. I've had good but not outstanding results with that dough. I'm hoping it's been revised for the better.

Thanks for this topic Chris. Those look good. Is the basic Neapolitan dough in MP any different from that at KM p326 of MB?

A vote for turkey and mushroom. Best use of leftover roast turkey legs/thighs. Plenty of parsley to finish.

Hey, great Chris. Mine's at least a week away. Can you start working on the errata? Would be much appreciated.

I lived with the CSO as my only oven for several years but size was limiting. Even a single loaf could get scorched on top. Very pleased to jump to APO. Way more control. If you can afford the APO it's the way to go.

I have a darling friend who likes a salad I make him. It's by Ottolenghi. My friend always calls it the Noppo Spongi salad.

Very off topic, Liuzhou, I had a number plate on my car that ended in 888. Just luck. I was offered non-trivial money for it.

Snap. Mine too!

I think, Liuzhou, we are able to call ourselves whatever we want without ridicule. A point off there for uncharacteristic playing-the-man crankiness. I read the Fortune Cookie Chronicles. It was OK. Lightweight and eminently forgettable. I expect that the idiocy ascribed to Jennifer 8 in that article is not her's but the author's. It is an extended tortuous attempt to take the metaphor of grammar into realms in which it does not belong. The writer who can't write is quite capable of making others look like fools. as odd to Chinese diners as an English-speaker hearing a foreigner say “old silly fool” instead of “silly old fool" is just a crap simile by an author out of depth. Relax. I've been much enjoying your series. Best regards, Jack

It's weird Jo. Mine has hds this behaviour from the beginning. As to temp settings, that control is as frisky as a colt.

Jo, I'm using firmware v 1.1.32 and am not having this issue. I know that doesn't help you but it may be that your problem is unrelated to the firmware debacle. One thing that does bug me is that the timer display on the handle is much dimmer than the display of temperature and steam *except if it is displaying the digit 1*. It's as though the whole power budget goes into the two components of that digit. Have you noticed same?

So what was there to think about? 🙂

Ha. That's like my fry pan of the same size. It was better to buy than to own, if you get my meaning. I'll try to resist the cuteness of those little paellas. This might be the first time you've saved me money Jo.

It's a sign. Damnit, I was trying to limit myself to the big paella. Now you have me thinking. To all: I have the largest and the smallest fry pans. I use the big one all the time and would like a bigger one which is why the paella 35 appeals. How useful if the smallest paella? What do you use it for?

Darto is offering free shipping for rest of August.

Ah, same here and I'm a little wary. Better to await reports I think.

Jo you were cleverer than me in doing a factory reset. As I understand you are on 1.1.32. Are you being prompted to install a version higher than that?

No, Palo. As Jo correctly says below, the unit was powering up and down every minute or so. I don't think there was a way to take it off air and/or return to a stable state. Anova has pushed a downgrade that makes the APO usable. It is v1.1.10. The app is prompting me to update to 1.1.23 but I might wait a few days on that.

Jo, I'm mighty unhappy with this. All day my APO was resetting and I put it down to wifi problems. Started it up to bake some buns and ... well you know the problem. Anova posted something to Twitter or Facebook saying there was a problem. We don't need to rehearse the problems with tech companies putting out catastrophic updates. I am pissed of that the QA on firmware is terrible. Seriously wondering if any internet-connected device is a bad idea. Fired up the big oven. Heated. Added ice. Buns good 🙂 Jack

Good for you Margaret. I love 'a tad'. An indefinite quantity north of zero but subjectively definable. My great aunt used to enjoy 'a spot' of sherry well into her 90s. Think large brimming glass. Cheers.

That said, I ponied up many dollars today for the better faster Thermapen. Will pass my v4 to a friend. Might have snuck a few other goodies into the cart to justify the postage. So it's all relative. Damn, that's the most expensive piece of wire I've ever bought 🙂

Palo, thank you for steering me to the Hamilton racks. I quibble in saying that they are a little less sturdy than ideal but they do fit perfectly. A warning to others: Some Hamilton racks come in two packs. When I bought these I thought the high price was for two. Alas, it was AUD45 for one. That's around $US30. Beware. Fit great. $$$ a shock. The Black Beauty is worth it.
