Just had to get back to this episode to report that I purchased the Anyday medium cookware and it stayed on my counter for a couple weeks. But I decided to cook bacon with it and loved how easy it was! I've made scrambled eggs that are moist and delicious every time and now using it for veggies has been a game changer!! I purchased the larger set and for tonight's dinner I cut up an eggplant with some onions, tri-color peppers, mushrooms, peas and marinara sauce and put everything in the Anyday dish stirring halfway. Added a salad and everything was done in 10 minutes!! I have an instant pot I've never used which was a gift but it seems too complicated to me. The Anyday dishes are easy to use and easy to clean. Thanks Julien and Kiersten for talking about this....I had never heard of these before and would not have tried them without your recommendation.

[@richandregular]

Awesome. We absolutely LOVE our Anyday. Wish we'd started using it sooner.

[@kevarop7626]

would be fun to see you demonstrate these ideas

I discovered electric lunchbox when my kiddo was in grade 1. He always LOATHED cold lunches. We just finally started packing whatever we'd eat for dinner.

[@richandregular]

We'll probably get one this summer. Any brand recommendations?

[@barbaraboustead]

This is a great conversation! While I was listening to the podcast I was actually making rice on the stove (which I rarely do since I don't eat rice but it was for a veggie bake dish) and the Anyday recommendation caught my attention. I'm ordering one this week and appreciate y'all so much! I had to watch the video to see the "demo" that Kiersten described. I'm the primary aka only cook in our household. But since I'm on a modified keto plan, it works best if I do the shopping/cooking for us. Much appreciation for you both!!

[@Meli_Mels]

I loved this episode. The one additional thing that my husband and I must consider with any new tool is: space. Our kitchen and house is Mid century modern and everything is original. A remodel is not in our budget. Storage space is limited. So we must weigh the benefits like how often we'll use something versus if we have counter/cabinet space.

[@richandregular]

Yes, that is definitely a consideration. We had way less tools in our older, smaller home.

[@chantellpearce5735]

Great video! I really appreciate you explaining the benefits of the sous vide. I was never really sure if it was a gadget I needed.

[@richandregular]

Happy to help.

[@shannalespere3006]

I LOVE my airfryer! #teamairfryer Thank you for the other recommendations.

[@rose4u111]

Great presentation! I have added a few of these items to my list of “try-it-out”.🤗🌹

[@richandregular]

Wonderful!

[@rosecoloredglasses67329]

I bake EverTINNGGG on 350!😊😊😊

[@Meli_Mels]

😅

[@richandregular]

I mean....you can but if you're looking to get that nice golden brown on a chicken or roast you're gonna have to turn that baby up to 375, 400+.

[@Arun71150]

400 errythang😂‼️

[@kurtjolly9040]

We always hard boil our eggs in the sous vide. Perfect every time. Mary (Not Kurt)

[@richandregular]

Interesting. What’s the difference between doing it in a regular pot vs the sous vide if you’re hard boiling it?

[@drew6317]

The Instant Pot doesn't live up to the hype? It's a lot quicker and fool-proof for lots of foods.

[@richandregular]

It's great as a slow cooker but doens't brown well in my opinion. It simply doesn't get hot enough for that. It's also pretty bulky for what it does. We liked it as a rice cooker BUT now that we have the Anyday we can do all of that in the microwave much faster.

[@sweetandsimple.]

Next episode idea: must have seasonings! I can’t be the only one who wastes money buying a bunch of seasonings/condiments and rarely use most of them 🥲

[@Arun71150]

Curry powder, fresh thyme, fresh Rosemary ( put these in freezer), Ginger, Garlic, Onions. Chili crunch... you're golden
