In my living room I call it a table.

Welcome to the Dark Side. I'm seriously contemplating ordering a backup, as I seem to be one of the few club members without one (or more).

 

I'd wait for the new anova oven

I tried to be polite and not answer

 

AnnaN stepped in and politely replied.

 

I can't imagine the aromas from a 1 hour very warm  fish.

 

but id bet  your toast in the morning might be quite

I've actually reheated fish in the CSO fairly successfully -- but even so I can't imagine grilled fish in particular would do well in that moist environment. It would probably be warm, and you could probably manage to not overcook it, but it would lose a lot of the texture you'd get from the grill in the process.

Thanks.    The reason I questioned this is that I always precook scallops, prawns and chunks of white fish (halibut, monk) when making a "big fish soup".    I stop cooking when they are seared but undercooked, then remove them to a covered ceramic casserole which I leave on the stovetop until serving...the fish added to the broth a couple of minutes before plating.     This has worked a charm with guests asking how the fish was so perfectly cooked.    When I noticed the CSO "warm" setting and temps a low as 125F, I thought maybe I had an alternative method.     But afraid not.

Actually, if you're going to put them into broth afterwards anyway, it might work just fine. I was imagining grill seared fish with skin that needed to stay crispy or something similar.

 

(That said -- it sounds like you have a method that works great already!)

 My kitchen is really small.  I barely have room for the first one.   The spare is kept in its box on one of the shelves

we store the maple for our charcuterie boards.

Still available at Amazon.ca for $194.98.

 

Tempted.  Very sorry I didn't click when it was $99.  Somehow I had believed anova.
