Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
Thank you, I think I have figured it out. Can you test for me?

They work well in the actifry although some of the crispy coating comes off. Great in the oven. Best. oven. fries. ever.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
I wonder if the 'list' price in this case is a previously listed price on Amazon - possibly by a third party seller.
Some years ago I contacted them about what I thought was an error - someone was asking several hundred $$ for something that should have been about $15. Their response was that sellers could ask what they like.
The reviews are okay apart from the one that said "I think it turned some of my plants brown"

I will have to see if the store has this brand, usually get McCain but haven't found any of theirs to be that good.

In my early days in Canada, my wife told me that 'oven' chips weren't available yet. In the supermarket one day I saw some. We bought them, ate them and they were very good. But it turned out they were not oven chips after all.
In the freezer, the wrapper was a bit crumpled and I had read vendish believing it was Ovendish with the O part obscured. That's when I discovered Cavendish.

But some airlines do it as well, namely the super low cost ones, Spirit in the US will advertise some low $1 fare but then add on fees after fees, and end result basically paid the same price as any other airline unless you travel with nothing but the clothes on your back.

The funny thing about living in NB is you realise the 'full' potential of the potato. Both McCain and Cavendish are massive employers in Atlantic Canada...obviously along with Irving, but coming from 'away' I hadn't fully understood the importance of these companies - terrifying really.

Do carrots too. And parsnips but they're quite quick.

I do my own wedges, chips, square cut things...I sometimes wonder what I did in NB in my spare time other than cut up, soak and dry potatoes for the Actifry
I hate parsnips...but my husband loves them. We all like carrots- thank you...I will give them a try.

You would think carrots in a bag would cost more vs those not in a bag, just because it seems it would take more effort and cost to bag carrots vs the bulk carrots not in a bag.
But then the dog food from New Zealand costs less vs the dog food made 45 minutes away from us, and it has to cost a heck of a lot more to ship dog food from NZ to BC, but I guess costs must be lower in NZ, and oranges too, the 3 and 5lb bags are cheaper than buying the bulk per pound.
All looks and tastes the same to me, but maybe technically the bulk is a better grade of produce?

I don't care for parsnips roasted but use them sliced and cubed in my soups and am fine with that. Husband, the Canuck, loves roasted parsnips.

I have however never tried them, they never looked appealing to me.

But roast them to get them at their best.

I find that when cooking frozen oven fries (especially the coated ones) in the Actify it is best to use the snack basket, the fries dont get "tumbled" so the coating stays intact and no extra oil needed.
