I decided to change and go with option 2. I wound up looking at the user manuals at the different pre set cooking differences on the steam ovens and the main ones are still there on the pro grand steam.

I like giving American Express Gift Cheques as gifts. They look like gold-colored travelers checks and come in a gold envelope with a gift card that you can write out. They work just like travelers checks for the recipient so they can be used anywhere or, if they so choose, can cash them or deposit them in their bank account just like a regular check. They have the same benefits of just giving cash or a check, but it just seems a little more special (at least to me.). I think that the last time I purchased a $100 gift cheque, it cost $101.50, so the cost is very reasonable.

Ha ha! Thanks! I think I've read every thread/review here, on chowhound, e gullet, amazon, you name it. GWlolo I got it from Amazon. I'm all about Prime. : ) Will look for that gazpacho recipe. This will be all new to me, I've never been much of a blender because I've always hated our old one. Hoping my tween son will get into smoothies. And I adore soups all year round. I've been put on Furhman diet for my lovely high blood pressure. This machine should help a lot!

Hi All, I got myself a Samsung wf45r6300AV washer, and am happy with it so far. However, I noticed the absence of the 90-95C heat options in North American 110 V washers. So, I think I will have to use sanatize for high temperature washes. I have a couple questions though. The manual says the sanatize cycle reaches 150F. Does it reach that preset temperature and stay there, or does it go as high as it can in that wash. I ask because my heater supplies rather hot water. Second, is sanatize the hottest program available on the washer? Are any of the downloadables hotter? I am specificly thinking towel sanatize, as it is 2 hr and 41 min as opposed to the 2 hr and 28 min of the default settings sanatize cycle. However, I then would not be able to change the presets, as they cannot be changed for the downloadable cycles and download cycle option on the washer. Also, is the hot, level 5, on all the programs the same temperature as the hot on sanatize? Finally, does selecting steam in sanatize raise the water temperature in the wash?
