ppl say you can also cook rice w/ it, find that partially true, i cooked rice on it once and it was bleh, it's probably ok for white ppl,

I've done rice in it a few times but it comes out worse than even a cheapass rice cooker.

The air fryer is a replacement lid that has a fan and heating element in it. I don't have one but I've heard it's pretty mediocre.

i was wondering why this would be the case and i looked more, i would guess it has to do with the max temp of 400f for the air fry, which honestly is at the lowest end of the "air fry" category, you'd want 450f tbh, the accessory i got goes up to 500f and it really crisps it up, so i can see where it's mediocre w/ only 400f

the newer pro does 450f, so yea, i'd zero in on that one just for the extra 50f in air frying max temp

but then i might also look into the ninja foodi then, since that also does 450f

Really? I got rid of my dedicated rice cooker specifically because my IP does rice like a goddamn champ.

My LG fridge just failed ot keep the freezer cold enough and we had to toss a lot of it. it died last year for similar reason and the manufacturer footed the bill to fix the compressor. I don't really want to fuck with it anymore. is there ANY manufacturer of fridges that doesn't design their fridge to fucking die every 3 years? what's a real brand that makes real ass long lasting fridges vaguely reminiscent of the beasts from when we were kids?

he really seems to emphasize made in america cuz quality control is such junk overseas, so you might have to just find a good made in usa side by side (what he recomends) fridge by looking at the made in plate, at bestbuy haha

yea, the wife was scowling at the notion of not having an ice maker like he reccomended, but i may look over his models and see what's up. we had a side by side, definately doing that again after his review.

Sub zero? I don’t want to sound like a rich guy but we lucked out the house we bought two years ago had one from the early 90s. Appliance repair company we had out after we bought it said the thing is still working almost perfectly except for the ice maker.

So the answer is dont buy LG fridge?

... · Thursday at 10:36 AM

don't buy LG seems to be the core of the message. i can firmly say that their asstastic compressor system fails and ruins food heh.

So looking at his review, he went over the goods and bads. among his reccomended models i liked:

Whirlpool WRS325SDHZ 36 Inch Freestanding Side by Side Refrigerator with 24.55 Cu. Ft. Total Capacity, Can Caddy, Frameless Glass Shelves, External Ice/Water Dispenser, EveryDrop™ Water Filtration, and ADA Compliant: Fingerprint Resistant Stainless S

But while discussing he mentioned how there's samsung models who avoid the in door ice and water maker, and have improved, which he showed a samsung model that i dug around some and found:

our fridge sits at the far right of the kitchen against a wall. the swing-open doors to the right on a pure side by side are kind of annoying. the idea of having a french style "big top with 2 doors", but not the retardation of the ice maker inside the refrigerator seems doable.

BrutulTM · Thursday at 10:47 AM

I used to think I wanted water and ice through the doors but after being around the one my Mom has it's just a silly thing that rarely gets used and has lots of downsides. Hers is the freezer on the bottom type so the icemaker has to have its own little freezer compartment and then the ice is on the door so if you open the fridge a lot the ice gets all hairy and sticks together so you have to chip it all out of there. You also don't need a water dispenser on your fridge that's sitting 3 feet from the kitchen sink. After seeing how hers works I got myself a freezer on the bottom model with the ice in the freezer and the ice is just so much nicer.

Dunno, but I checked my warranty.

My fridge was purchased in 1996.

(in general, I stay away from anything with a LG logo)
