Either Boop Light Detector, which is free, or the one simply called Light 
Detector will work fine on LED light bulbs.

Boop emits beeps and the faster they are the brighter the light.

Light Detector emits a steady tone and the higher pitch it is, the brighter the 
light.

I'd suggest reading about both in their descriptions.

Hi all,

Many of the light bulbs in our house  are now LED which makes it impossible
for me to know when a lamp is on or off. I'm looking for a reliable and easy
to use light detector for the iPhone. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks

Bard app help needed

2017-11-26 Thread Chris Chaffin


In browsing the BARD website through the BARD app, I am having a really hard 
time activating links.  I have even tried searching the screen with my finger 
and double tapping it that way.
Just wanted to check if anyone else is having the same problem, or is there a 
way that I have not yet thought of.

Any help would be appreciated.

Chris,
I have not had issues, but all I use is the search box.
Are you talking about the browse by last name, etc.?
I think those may take a long time to activate, but simpsearching for a title

Give me an example of what you are doing and I'll give it a try.

Re: Bard app help needed

2017-11-26 Thread Chris Chaffin

Hello Richard,

Basically I have just been having hard times activating links while browsing 
BARD in the BARD app.  This has been a problem for me running ios 10 and 11 on 
an iPhone 6, and now running ios 11 on my new iPhone 8.
I just set up my iPhone 8 last night, so the BARD app has just been downloaded 
to the phone.  I did notice an update in the app store this morning, so I 
updated it in hopes it might take care of the problem, but  the problem is 
still there.

Here are a few examples that I have experienced over the past 24 hours.

First Example:

Went to the Get Books tab, Double tapped Browse BARD at the bottom.
Use headings in the rotor to get to Previously Downloaded Books near the bottom.
When I double tap the link the new page does not load.  I just continue to sit 
on the main page.
As I said, I even scrolled down and searched the screen for the actual link and 
double tapped it that way.

Second example:

After going to the Get Books tab and double tapping Browse BARD.
I went to the Search box and typed The hard way, looking for a Jack Reacher 
Novel.
There were tons of results.  The book I was looking for was not on the first 
page of results, so I tried double tapping the next link to go to the next page 
of results, but nothing I did would take me to the next page.
I tried double tapping the next link both at the top and bottom, and using the 
combo box to choose page 2 and double tap the go button, but nothing worked.

Third example:

I did another search from the main page and found a Jack Reacher book.  This 
time when I double tapped the link for the book, it took me to the details page 
for that book.
Now I swiped down to the name of the book series and double tapped trying to 
get the list of books in the series, but nothing happened.
So I tried double tapping the back button to go back to the list of books, but 
I was stuck on the details page of that book.  The only way I could do anything 
was to close the BARD app, take it out of the app switcher, then restart it 
from scratch.

It looks to me like a voice over focus issue.  For some reason, links will just 
not activate for me, and as you can imagine, that makes browsing BARD in the 
app very difficult to almost impossible to do.
If you are not having these problems, then that is hope for me to just find out 
why I am.
I did try doing some google searches to see if I had any problems in Safari, 
but everything worked fine in Safari.

Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

Chris

Re: instant pot question

Oh, I am not saying that your info is not good.  In fact, I have had that 
zip file for a while and was glad I had it.  I am just saying that if 
someone buys the smart instant pot the layout will be different.  A lot of 
people can benefit from those files as long as they know that the button 
layout is different.  I will write up the smart layout here in a bit.

Hello,
I’m glad to know that it is not just me having this issue. I thought it was my 
phone. But however, when I go to the bard  site in Safari, everything works 
correctly. I think it’s something with the app. Not sure.
Hope this helps,

RE: Bard app help needed

Hi Chris,
Well, I apparently have my BARD settings to display all results.
So, in the first two examples, I get all the results at once instead of having 
to select a next page, etc.

But, the normal method is to double tap on the add to wish list link after the 
description of the book.
I’ve used the series page for books before.
I just took a look at the Jack Reacher Novels and once in that list, there is 
the add to wish list after each title description.
That is what you want, then you can download them from your wish list.

The other tip, and I’m sure you have already done this, but be sure the app 
switcher is empty as you are asking the device to handle a large amount of data 
at once.

HTH,
Richard

Subject: Re: Bard app help needed

Hello Richard,

Basically I have just been having hard times activating links while browsing 
BARD in the BARD app.  This has been a problem for me running ios 10 and 11 on 
an iPhone 6, and now running ios 11 on my new iPhone 8.
I just set up my iPhone 8 last night, so the BARD app has just been downloaded 
to the phone.  I did notice an update in the app store this morning, so I 
updated it in hopes it might take care of the problem, but  the problem is 
still there.

Here are a few examples that I have experienced over the past 24 hours.

First Example:

Went to the Get Books tab, Double tapped Browse BARD at the bottom.
Use headings in the rotor to get to Previously Downloaded Books near the bottom.
When I double tap the link the new page does not load.  I just continue to sit 
on the main page.
As I said, I even scrolled down and searched the screen for the actual link and 
double tapped it that way.

Second example:

After going to the Get Books tab and double tapping Browse BARD.
I went to the Search box and typed The hard way, looking for a Jack Reacher 
Novel.
There were tons of results.  The book I was looking for was not on the first 
page of results, so I tried double tapping the next link to go to the next page 
of results, but nothing I did would take me to the next page.
I tried double tapping the next link both at the top and bottom, and using the 
combo box to choose page 2 and double tap the go button, but nothing worked.

Third example:

I did another search from the main page and found a Jack Reacher book.  This 
time when I double tapped the link for the book, it took me to the details page 
for that book.
Now I swiped down to the name of the book series and double tapped trying to 
get the list of books in the series, but nothing happened.
So I tried double tapping the back button to go back to the list of books, but 
I was stuck on the details page of that book.  The only way I could do anything 
was to close the BARD app, take it out of the app switcher, then restart it 
from scratch.

It looks to me like a voice over focus issue.  For some reason, links will just 
not activate for me, and as you can imagine, that makes browsing BARD in the 
app very difficult to almost impossible to do.
If you are not having these problems, then that is hope for me to just find out 
why I am.
I did try doing some google searches to see if I had any problems in Safari, 
but everything worked fine in Safari.

Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

Chris

Re: Bard app help needed

2017-11-26 Thread regina alvarado

Richard, your answer on Bard brings up a question from me. Well, two questions. 
Apple is now saying app switcher should not be cleared unless the phone is 
frozen. Should I always clear the app switcher when I go to Bard? How often do 
you or anyone else believe the switcher should be cleared? Apple says as little 
as possible for battery life. I never closed it but only 1 or 2 times a week 
just as I turn my phone off. Anyway, curious what others do.

RE: Bard app help needed

I clear mine when the phone/iPod/iPad begins not performing well, like when 
links don’t seem to want to open, etc.
I probably clear it more than Apple says is needed, but I also have older 
devices, iPhone 5s and iPod Touch 6th Generation.

I also sometimes clear the RAM by holding down the power button until it shows 
Power Off, then I release the power button and hold down the home button until 
VoiceOver says something.

Since Chris was not able to follow links, I thought clearing the app switcher 
might help.

But, that is just one person’s opinion.

Later,
Richard

Hello Chris,

I cannot reproduce your results.  

All of the links and navigation buttons/links works just as expected.

Perhaps you should first delete and then, reinstall the app to your iOS device.

In browsing the BARD website through the BARD app, I am having a really hard 
time activating links.  I have even tried searching the screen with my finger 
and double tapping it that way.
Just wanted to check if anyone else is having the same problem, or is there a 
way that I have not yet thought of.

Any help would be appreciated.

Clearing out the App Switcher [was "Re: Bard app help needed"]

2017-11-26 Thread Christopher Chaltain

I've never been in the habit of clearing out the App Switcher. I've 
always just figured IOS could handle it's resources better than I can. I 
clear out the App Switcher whenever I think I'm having a problem or 
before restarting the phone, like when I'm performing an update.

I’ve used the series page for books before.

I just took a look at the Jack Reacher Novels and once in that list, 
there is the add to wish list after each title description.


That is what you want, then you can download them from your wish list.

The other tip, and I’m sure you have already done this, but be sure 
the app switcher is empty as you are asking the device to handle a

Hello Richard,

Basically I have just been having hard times activating links while 
browsing BARD in the BARD app.  This has been a problem for me 
running ios 10 and 11 on an iPhone 6, and now running ios 11 on my 
new iPhone 8.


I just set up my iPhone 8 last night, so the BARD app has just been 
downloaded to the phone.  I did notice an update in the app store 
this morning, so I updated it in hopes it might take care of the 
problem, but  the problem is still there.


Here are a few examples that I have experienced over the past 24 hours.

First Example:

Went to the Get Books tab, Double tapped Browse BARD at the bottom.

Use headings in the rotor to get to Previously Downloaded Books near 
the bottom.


When I double tap the link the new page does not load.  I just 
continue to sit on the main page.


As I said, I even scrolled down and searched the screen for the 
actual link and double tapped it that way.


Second example:

After going to the Get Books tab and double tapping Browse BARD.

I went to the Search box and typed The hard way, looking for a Jack 
Reacher Novel.


There were tons of results.  The book I was looking for was not on 
the first page of results, so I tried double tapping the next link to 
go to the next page of results, but nothing I did would take me to 
the next page.


I tried double tapping the next link both at the top and bottom, and 
using the combo box to choose page 2 and double tap the go button, 
but nothing worked.


Third example:

I did another search from the main page and found a Jack Reacher 
book.  This time when I double tapped the link for the book, it took 
me to the details page for that book.


Now I swiped down to the name of the book series and double tapped 
trying to get the list of books in the series, but nothing happened.


So I tried double tapping the back button to go back to the list of 
books, but I was stuck on the details page of that book.  The only 
way I could do anything was to close the BARD app, take it out of the 
app switcher, then restart it from scratch.


It looks to me like a voice over focus issue.  For some reason, links 
will just not activate for me, and as you can imagine, that makes 
browsing BARD in the app very difficult to almost impossible to do.


If you are not having these problems, then that is hope for me to 
just find out why I am.


I did try doing some google searches to see if I had any problems in 
Safari, but everything worked fine in Safari.


Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

Chime hasn't been updated for more than two years. That wouldn't
matter except that since iOS 10 it has read very inconsistently.
Westminster Chimes still gets updates and has the option of a voice

Hello Richard,

Basically I have just been having hard times activating links while 
browsing BARD in the BARD app.  This has been a problem for me running ios 10

When I double tap the link the new page does not load.  I just continue to

RE: Smart Washer and Drier

I was waiting for these for a long time, at the CES for the last 3 or 4 years 
they are always talking about it, but nothing really has been widely adopted.
Last year I finally purchased a Miele washer and dryer, very expensive, but 
there are no dials, all is controlled by buttons and while some of them get 
pushed and rotate through various options, if you turn the appliance off (these 
actually have real on/off butons) and start over it always defaults back to the 
same order so if, for example, I select the “Master Care” program then there is 
another button where you can cycle through 6 or 8 different programs and it 
always starts at the top so if you write down the order it’s no problem, also, 
I was able to read the LCD screen with Talking Goggles, haven’t tried it yet 
with the Seeing AI Short Text function, but it will probably work even better. 
Like I said, beautiful appliances, they are rated for a 20-year life span but 
they are expensive. They did have a less expensive set, but it had a dial which 
just turns and turns, no stops and no good way to figure out what’s what.
Bosch I believe has some sort of smart technology out, but when I last checked 
it was available in Europe, but not yet in North America.
I wouldn’t touch a Samsung washer and dryer or, for that matter, dish washer or 
stove with a 10 foot pole, talk to any appliance repair person and the German 
and Swedish stuff is clearly superior. Asko is from Sweden and I think so is 
Electrolux, with the German brands Miele is probably at the top, then there is 
Bosch and AEG (the latter is less well-known).

This may be a long shot but does anyone utilize any of the smart washer and

Richard, your answer on Bard brings up a question from me. Well, two questions. 
Apple is now saying app switcher should not be cleared unless the phone is 
frozen. Should I always clear the app switcher when I go to Bard? How often do 
you or anyone else believe the switcher should be cleared? Apple says as little 
as possible for battery life. I never closed it but only 1 or 2 times a week 
just as I turn my phone off. Anyway, curious what others do.

Hi Chris,
Well, I apparently have my BARD settings to display all results.
So, in the first two examples, I get all the results at once instead of having 
to select a next page, etc.
 
But, the normal method is to double tap on the add to wish list link after the 
description of the book.
I’ve used the series page for books before.
I just took a look at the Jack Reacher Novels and once in that list, there is 
the add to wish list after each title description.
That is what you want, then you can download them from your wish list.
 
The other tip, and I’m sure you have already done this, but be sure the app 
switcher is empty as you are asking the device to handle a large amount of data 
at once.

Subject: Re: Bard app help needed
 
Hello Richard,
 
Basically I have just been having hard times activating links while browsing 
BARD in the BARD app.  This has been a problem for me running ios 10 and 11 on 
an iPhone 6, and now running ios 11 on my new iPhone 8.
I just set up my iPhone 8 last night, so the BARD app has just been downloaded 
to the phone.  I did notice an update in the app store this morning, so I 
updated it in hopes it might take care of the problem, but  the problem is 
still there.
 
Here are a few examples that I have experienced over the past 24 hours.
 
First Example:
 
Went to the Get Books tab, Double tapped Browse BARD at the bottom.
Use headings in the rotor to get to Previously Downloaded Books near the bottom.
When I double tap the link the new page does not load.  I just continue to sit 
on the main page.
As I said, I even scrolled down and searched the screen for the actual link and 
double tapped it that way.
 
Second example:
 
After going to the Get Books tab and double tapping Browse BARD.
I went to the Search box and typed The hard way, looking for a Jack Reacher 
Novel.
There were tons of results.  The book I was looking for was not on the first 
page of results, so I tried double tapping the next link to go to the next page 
of results, but nothing I did would take me to the next page.
I tried double tapping the next link both at the top and bottom, and using the 
combo box to choose page 2 and double tap the go button, but nothing worked.
 
Third example:
 
I did another search from the main page and found a Jack Reacher book.  This 
time when I double tapped the link for the book, it took me to the details page 
for that book.
Now I swiped down to the name of the book series and double tapped trying to 
get the list of books in the series, but nothing happened.
So I tried double tapping the back button to go back to the list of books, but 
I was stuck on the details page of that book.  The only way I could do anything 
was to close the BARD app, take it out of the app switcher, then restart it 
from scratch.
 
It looks to me like a voice over focus issue.  For some reason, links will just 
not activate for me, and as you can imagine, that makes browsing BARD in the 
app very difficult to almost impossible to do.
If you are not having these problems, then that is hope for me to just find out 
why I am.
I did try doing some google searches to see if I had any problems in Safari, 
but everything worked fine in Safari.
 
Any ideas or help would be appreciated.
 
Chris

I think those may take a long time to activate, but simpsearching for a title

Give me an example of what you are doing and I'll give it a try.

RE: clearing the app switcher

If you really want to know what is “best”, then you could call Apple, assuming 
Apple always knows best.

I personally go by what seems to work best on my specific device.

I don’t mean that to sound negative, I usually go with what Apple says.  
Someone on the list earlier said that Apple now says you don’t need to clear 
the app switcher very much.
But, I have no idea if that is only with the newer devices, iOS 11 and after, 
or what?
People like to quote Apple having said x, y or z, but they are hardly ever 
specific.  I know at least once, someone quoted an Apple support person saying 
one thing and another saying the opposite.

So, I mostly now go with what works best for me and my devices.

I willing to be proven wrong.

Richard

On the Today screen (the screen you get to when you swipe left to right with 3

place focus on the picker control between the dock and the last row of home

Your main home screen is "2" because the Today screen is "1", flick down with

There is an "Edit" button at the very bottom where you can control which items

RE: Smart Washer and Drier

2017-11-26 Thread Richard Petty

There’s an article in the most recent Access World about some efforts from a 
major manufacturer, Whirlpool, I think. They have created a primitive system of 
audible controls. It’s both very disappointing and a little bit encouraging. 
Disappointing because they haven’t come far at all. Possibly encouraging 
because one department of the company is looking at the issue. 

 

Two years ago we found Whirlpool units with traditional dials and buttons. 
Dials click into place and stay there until you change them. The dials have 
raised indicator marks. After memorizing what each dial and button does and 
their settings, the units are easy to use. They would be easy to label with 
Braille Dymo tape, but we haven’t done that.

This may be a long shot but does anyone utilize any of the smart washer and 
drier’s available now? If so how accessable is it? Thanks for any help in this 
matter.

Re: AirPods and status bar

2017-11-26 Thread Eric Caron

Hi,

I also recently purchased air pods and I often check the battery life 
of the air pods and the case by opening the case near the iPhone.  The 
information pops up when the case is open near the phone and goes away when you 
close the case.

Sending folders in Outlook, App, used on iPhone

2017-11-26 Thread Terri Stimmel

Hello everyone,

I use the Outlook App on my iPhone. From what I can tell, not all folders sent 
with the mail on my laptop, and the mail on my phone.
For instance, on my laptop, I have a message in my drafts folder. But within 
the Outlook on my iPhone, that folder is blank.

Is there a way to correct this?
If so, what do I need to do?
I’ve looked through the settings, but I can’t find what I need. Also, I don’t 
know if this will make a difference. But I don’t use Outlook as my client on my 
laptop. I use Thunderbird.

Thank you,

Terri

Purchased Instant Pot Ultra 10-in-1

Hi,

Well, after checking the emerging Cyber Monday deals I didn't see any deals on 
the Instant Pot Smart/Bluetooth cooker.
I did, however, find the new Instant Pot Ultra Electric Pressure Cooker, 6Qt 
10-in-1, Stainless Steel (2017 
Model)
The above link is for the Amazon Canada store where it is regular $199.99 ($10 
more than the Smart/Bluetooth model) and it's currently on sale for $119.99, a 
nice saving and converted to US this is less than $100.
This is not a connected model, but it's the newest in their line-up with a 
total of 16 programs including egg programs and it also allows you to adjust 
for altitude which to me makes a lot of sense in a device like this since 
altitude effects the boiling temperature of water.
At sea level water boils at 100 ° Celsius (212 ° Fahrenheit.
If you live in Denver, the mile-high city, water boils already at 94.7 Celsius 
or 202.5 Fahrenheit and being able to adjust for this will make the cooking 
more precise.
I know this Instant Pot is not a connected device hence it could be considered 
off-topic. If Mark decides it's so I won't say anything more, if not I'll post 
a bit of a review as to the accessibility once I have it.
The description says it has a single dial and you apparently just turn the dial 
to the program you want and press it in to start. Who knows, maybe it will be 
completely inaccessible in which case I'll probably return it unused, but I 
liked the idea of the altitude adjustment and the extra programs.
I wonder if Instant Pot will continue to make a smart/connected model, in the 
CBC News article they hinted at the fact they were just getting started and a 
bunch of new devices from them would hit the market in 2018.
I did also find an Instant Pot "Sous Vide" cooker, but decided not to order it 
at this point although the idea of this cooking style sounds interesting. For 
those who don't know what it is, here is a short summary from Wikipedia:

Sous-vide, French for "under vacuum", is a method of cooking in which food is 
vacuum-sealed in a plastic pouch and then placed in a water bath or steam 
environment for longer than normal cooking times (usually 1 to 7 hours, up to 
48 or more in some cases) at an accurately regulated temperature much lower 
than normally used for cooking, typically around 55 to 60 °Celsius (131 to 140 
°F) for meat, higher for vegetables. The intent is to cook the item evenly, 
ensuring that the inside is properly cooked without overcooking the outside, 
and to retain moisture.
it's a way to cook meat, poultry, fish, vegis, fruit etc. very slowly in hot 
water, but what you are cooking is of course not just in the water (that would 
be simply boiling it), but it cooks inside a bag or something like that. it's 
contained in

The Instant Pot Sous Vide cooker can cook things for up to 72 hours and 
maintain the set temperature to half a degree Celsius I think and while it is 
it's own device, apparently you can use it with a 6 or 8 quart Instant Pot, not 
sure exactly how it works.

Regards,
Sieghard

I don't think anything has changed. For years now, Apple has claimed
that you don't need to force close your apps, and this makes sense,
since why would a company develop a multitasking operating system if it
can't manage resources across multiple apps? That doesn't mean people
won't claim that force closing all of your apps is a good idea and
recommend that you should do it regularly.

You don't need to call up Apple to find out. A web search will reveeal
articles like the folloing:

* https://9to5mac.com/2016/03/10/should-you-quit-ios-apps-answer/

* https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201330

*
https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/science-technology/831702/iPhone-Close-Apps

*
https://www.wired.com/2016/03/closing-apps-save-battery-makes-things-worse/

*
http://appleinsider.com/articles/15/10/21/stop-force-closing-apps-on-your-iphone-its-not-making-it-run-faster-or-last-longer

Of course, you should close an app if you're having trouble with it, and
closing all apps and restarting your phone is always a good debugging
step if you're having systemic problems with your iPhone. If you think
that regularly closing all of your apps is improving the performance of
your device then by all means go ahead and do it. It doesn't really do
any harm except take a bit more of your time and use up a bit more of
your phone's resources, such as battery life.

I personally go by what seems to work best on my specific device.

I don’t mean that to sound negative, I usually go with what Apple

need to clear the app switcher very much.

But, I have no idea if that is only with the newer devices, iOS 11 and
after, or what?

People like to quote Apple having said x, y or z, but they are hardly
ever specific. I know at least once, someone quoted an Apple support
person saying one thing and another saying the opposite.

So, I mostly now go with what works best for me and my devices.

I willing to be proven wrong.

Hi all. I remember from a long time back someone saying that it was a

frequently. I clear mine every day or every other day. Is there a

Re: Purchased Instant Pot Ultra 10-in-1

2017-11-26 Thread Deb Lewis

The bluetooth one also supports altitude. I'm sure yours will have
tactile buttons as all of th eothers do. The bigest reason to want
bluetooth one instead is to read the temerature gage and some of the
errors that do occur with it. I don't use any of the programmable
stuff even on the bluetooth one. I'd be fine with the regular one but
it's hard to remember over 16 buttons, LOL.

Re: Purchased Instant Pot Ultra 10-in-1

Hi Sieghard,
I did not buy that one because I called customer support and the person 
there actually went and got one to try the dial for me.  He told me that 
there was no detent on the dial and you could not tell when the dial was 
pointed at the item you wanted to select.  You could not put a dot on the 
dial because it never ended up in the same position as you turned it.  I 
hope you find out differently, but I steered clear of that one because of 
what that support guy told me.  It was really nice of him to get one and try 
it.  He really seemed to understand what I needed to know.  Let us know what 
you find out, would you?

  Hi,



  Well, after checking the emerging Cyber Monday deals I didn’t see any 
deals on the Instant Pot Smart/Bluetooth cooker.

  I did, however, find the new Instant Pot Ultra Electric Pressure Cooker, 
6Qt 10-in-1, Stainless Steel (2017 Model)

  The above link is for the Amazon Canada store where it is regular $199.99 
($10 more than the Smart/Bluetooth model) and it’s currently on sale for 
$119.99, a nice saving and converted to US this is less than $100.

  This is not a connected model, but it’s the newest in their line-up with a 
total of 16 programs including egg programs and it also allows you to adjust 
for altitude which to me makes a lot of sense in a device like this since 
altitude effects the boiling temperature of water.

  At sea level water boils at 100 ° Celsius (212 ° Fahrenheit.

  If you live in Denver, the mile-high city, water boils already at 94.7 
Celsius or 202.5 Fahrenheit and being able to adjust for this will make the 
cooking more precise.

  I know this Instant Pot is not a connected device hence it could be 
considered off-topic. If Mark decides it’s so I won’t say anything more, if 
not I’ll post a bit of a review as to the accessibility once I have it.

  The description says it has a single dial and you apparently just turn the 
dial to the program you want and press it in to start. Who knows, maybe it 
will be completely inaccessible in which case I’ll probably return it 
unused, but I liked the idea of the altitude adjustment and the extra 
programs.

  I wonder if Instant Pot will continue to make a smart/connected model, in 
the CBC News article they hinted at the fact they were just getting started 
and a bunch of new devices from them would hit the market in 2018.

  I did also find an Instant Pot “Sous Vide” cooker, but decided not to 
order it at this point although the idea of this cooking style sounds 
interesting. For those who don’t know what it is, here is a short summary 
from Wikipedia:



  Sous-vide, French for "under vacuum", is a method of cooking in which food 
is vacuum-sealed in a plastic pouch and then placed in a water bath or steam 
environment for longer than normal cooking times (usually 1 to 7 hours, up 
to 48 or more in some cases) at an accurately regulated temperature much 
lower than normally used for cooking, typically around 55 to 60 °Celsius 
(131 to 140 °F) for meat, higher for vegetables. The intent is to cook the 
item evenly, ensuring that the inside is properly cooked without overcooking 
the outside, and to retain moisture.

  it’s a way to cook meat, poultry, fish, vegis, fruit etc. very slowly in 
hot water, but what you are cooking is of course not just in the water (that 
would be simply boiling it), but it cooks inside a bag or something like 
that. it’s contained in



  The Instant Pot Sous Vide cooker can cook things for up to 72 hours and 
maintain the set temperature to half a degree Celsius I think and while it 
is it’s own device, apparently you can use it with a 6 or 8 quart Instant 
Pot, not sure exactly how it works.

  Sieghard

2017-11-26 Thread Deb Lewis

There's no dial as far as I know of. None of the rest have a dial.
They all have tactile buttons so I imagine this one does too. That's
the trouble with asking customer service. I always have someone look
at the pictures and describe the entire thing. And in this case, you
can download the manual in advance. But I doubt there's a dial of any
kind on it. I'll be very surprised if it's not useable.

RE: Purchased Instant Pot Ultra 10-in-1

2017-11-26 Thread Cristóbal

That sounds like the model we saw on Amazon.de. I think it was going for 
something like €148 and the regular 8 quart device for €150 from €200.

I'm pretty certain the bluetooth connected model also has altitude adjustment. 
Without looking at the app on my phone right now, I'm pretty sure I enabled 
this feature when setting the instant pot up and it gave my altitude at around 
1500 SQ-FT above sea-level. 

That aside, I'd be interested to know if the model you ordered is reasonably 
accessible even without bluetooth connectivity. Marking it up with dots and 
maybe labeling with Brailed dymo tape (for those of us who read Braille) to get 
away from having to get the more expensive bluetooth one. 

The wife's already been making noise about getting another instant pot so this 
would be good to know. Our luck, every single model appeared to be on sale this 
week, but for the all important bluetooth one. 

Keep us posted.

RE: Purchased Instant Pot Ultra 10-in-1

Hi Deb,

TThis new "Ultra" model just came out this year and it has a single dial.
Now, Kay, if what you said is correct then I guess it will go back in the box. 
Where did you call, do you have a direct number for Instant Pot? I guess I 
could still cancel it and wonder if I shouldn't do so after what you said. I 
was sort of hoping the dial would click with each turn.

Regards,
Sieghard

Has anyone else noticed this? When I purchase an iBook, I often use Select then 
Move to add it to a Collection folder I have created. Since a few months ago, 
whenever I add an iBook to any Collection, it disappears from the Books 
Collection. This never used to happen! Anyone else?

Re: Purchased Instant Pot Ultra 10-in-1

No, the new 10 in one does have a dial and I did have someone look at the 
picture.  Sorry but this time you are wrong and customer service is right. 
They aren't all idiots.  My sister looked at the picture and saw the dial on 
the front.  Absolutely no buttons on that one.  The one you and I have are 
older models, thus the buttons.

There's no dial as far as I know of. None of the rest have a dial.
They all have tactile buttons so I imagine this one does too. That's
the trouble with asking customer service. I always have someone look
at the pictures and describe the entire thing. And in this case, you
can download the manual in advance. But I doubt there's a dial of any
kind on it. I'll be very surprised if it's not useable.

Re: Purchased Instant Pot Ultra 10-in-1

Yes, I sure do have a number for you.  It is
1-800-828-7280

I realize you are in Canada and hope that number works for you.  Let me know 
if it doesn't and I'll look for a local one for you.  Hope this helps.

Hi Deb,

TThis new "Ultra" model just came out this year and it has a single dial.
Now, Kay, if what you said is correct then I guess it will go back in the 
box. Where did you call, do you have a direct number for Instant Pot? I 
guess I could still cancel it and wonder if I shouldn't do so after what you 
said. I was sort of hoping the dial would click with each turn.

Regards,
Sieghard
