What's for dinner ( or lunch )

Just made potato salad for cold turkey, bacon & cheese sandwiches for dinner. Lets see, just put potatoes, eggs, mustard, mayo, pickle juice, cider vinegar, sweetener, celery seed, red onions in the potato salad - what do you guys put in yours?
 

For potato salad, I peel the potatoes while they are still too hot to handle and give them a splash of apple cider vinegar along with a good shake of salt and black pepper. I mix chopped hard-boiled eggs with finely chopped celery, green or red bell pepper and onion with Hellmann's mayonnaise, and then add the hot potatoes. If I have it I add a dollop of sour cream to the mayonnaise. The most difficult thing for me is getting the seasoning right when the potato salad is still warm. Potato salad needs a fair amount of salt and it doesn't taste right to me if the salad is added after the salad has been chilled.

I think I'm going to buy this one when mine finally craps out. QVC has the same dimensions as Amazon but the goofball in the video gets it wrong. https://www.qvc.com/.product.K374805.html?cm_mmc=YT-_-AU-_-20181029_id:1s7S68CuI4Q-_-KIT_SKNNBR_K374805_cp:ONAIR&cvosrc=social+network.youtube-au.KIT_sknnbr_K374805_onair

Just to circle back...

I just ordered the Breville oven/dehydrator/air fryer/ from Amazon. I hesitated because there are some number of reviews (Amazon and elsewhere) saying the electronics died and the door glass shatters. One guy's video says Breville inferred a bad run of glass from their sub, but I've seen a couple of complaints that look like they bought theirs more recently than his vid. It's got a 2 year warranty, and Breville seems to have helped most people, so I'll roll the dice.

I'm gonna lop off the top shelf of the appliance stand that I made. I was gonna reconfigure shelves, or buy a smaller microwave to free up the large cubby, but this unit really needs head space...I'm not gonna take risks with it (damage from overheating or causing a fire.) It will look fine, I'll hang my wok on the wall alongside the displayed steamer baskets.

No one has the extra air fryer/dehydrator baskets in stock...you can use up to 4 at a time and it comes with just one. I put in a "Remind Me When In Stock" request at Breville. Williams-Sonoma is quoting an August delivery date.

Also bought a pizza stone and the pizza crisper. I order the oven liner, but one woman commented that her toast did not brown properly with a liner in this oven. Breville confirmed that reflective heat was required to brown the bottom. She removed the liner, and her toast browned fine. Just thought I'd mention it.

So it should arrive Monday!!! I can't wait. I got wings in the freezer I may air fry. And I want to try my hand at soaking/dehydrating almonds before coating them in chocolate.

I love new kitchen toys...

Yippee!! I hope you like it as much as I like mine. I haven't had any problem with things not toasting with the liner, but my oven is not that model. I seldom use it to make toast because I have a regular toaster. The liner saves a lot of cleanup time.

This is a relatively new model with its own attendant issues. Interesting you have not had issues with yours, because one of the "features" on this one is the inclusion of a fan specifically to cool the electronics so they last longer [it's inferred "longer than prior models"].

My oven is 5 or 6 years old now and I use it every single day for one thing or another. I'll be waiting on your impressions and review of the upgraded model. JMHO, but those fryer baskets look like they will be a PITA to clean. I have a couple of these that are good quality for "toaster oven" accessories; I use the rack for things I want to crisp up. You'll have to post a picture of your new setup when you get things arranged. :D
 
Back to my Breville...

I received it today, unpacked it, put it on the shelf, opened the door, and saw a broken top heating element hanging down into the oven. :mad:

This direct-shipped from an Amazon seller so I called them up, hoping I could just return the oven and not have to try to fit all the accessories back into the box. We tried, but no such luck. You gotta follow the Amazon process. The seller is Metro Kitchen out of Atlanta...very nice people.

Metro Kitchen told me that just out of their business, they sold nearly 30 of these ovens over the weekend!!! Apparently this is a very popular item. Breville is behind on manufacturing and the next manufacturing run is not due for months. Metro only had 3 left in stock. (Breville is also 60-90 days backordered on fryer/dehydrator racks.) So rather than put myself at Amazon order-processing risk, I placed my replacement order with Metro while the guy was on the phone so he could snag one for me.

I also received my pizza stone, perforated pizza sheet and oven liner for it today. Now I just need the darned oven. *sigh*
