I want to get my wife the 249$ double mini basketball arcade game for her birthday but the hoops aren’t motorized and she’d get bored of it. When will Costco get a better arcade basketball machine supplier?

this is probably most likely, the noodles themselves were just OK but like the sauce had nothing in it at all. honestly i can get way better fresh noodles at like tokyo fish market or 99 ranch in the fridge section or something for like $1 - $2 in the fridge section and then just put soy sauce and a bit of sesame oil and have exactly the same thing. i'm not anti-salt per se but if im gunna eat it it better taste loving good.

the only use case i can see for them is uh, if you live in the middle of nowhere midwest and want slightly better than average noodles to make some sort of stir fried noodle dish/chow mein/etc as a base and thats your only option. def not worth it

side question: i bought an instantpot sous vide version from costco back in march, the pressure pop-up valve that's supposed to lock the lid in place when it starts pressurizing isn't working unless i manually press down on the sides of the lid first, otherwise it just keeps venting while cooking, which is annoying. is this a simple problem i can fix or will costco still take it back? I also no longer have the box either. I'm not sure if it counts as an electronic for the 90-day limit or not.

This is a normal Costco return policy item. Just bring it back and get another (if you bought it on sale make sure you say you want to get another just so they adjust the cash card to the current price).

Flip over the lid and take off the plastic cap under that float valve and clean the hell out of it. It keeps food from getting jammed in that valve, but it gets clogged and stops the float valve from getting full pressure. If you pull it off and it looks like poo poo got through, look up removing the valve and cleaning the silicone cup inside, it's easy.

The manual says to clean the plastic cap "frequently" but I do it weekly or so, or if I notice poo poo got on it.

E: or return it but the next one will do the same thing. All of them do.

Those noodles are actually kind of pricey too right? The Nissain Raoh 8 packs are ~$1.50 a pack of noodles but at least those taste amazing.

thanks, i took it off and cleaned it but it looked fine, maybe some water. I think ti might be the sealing ring isn't seating right now. It did come with an extra one that i just remembered so i'll try putting that on if just cleaning the float valve cap didn't do it.

That gnocchi seemed new to me but it looked similar to the Trader Joe’s brand that the carb hounds at my household like. Going to pick that up.

We picked up the skillet gnocchi a week ago, apparently just before it went on sale. We cubed and grilled some chicken, and then set it aside. In the same pan we then melted the butter, toasted the gnocchi, tossed the chicken back in once they were getting a bit crispy, and then mixed the cheese sauce in. Came out really good, but I do think it would be too much by itself; the chicken helped cut the richness a bit.

Gnocchi is dead-easy to make and kind of fun when you're chopping up the cylinders.

Definitely recommend any cooking goons to give it a try an afternoon. Just need 2lbs of potatoes, salt, one egg and 1.5 cups of flour!

It came with an extra one because they retain strong scents. You're supposed to use one for sweet and one for savory, or go mad and buy the color-coded ones on the website.

But if the lid gasket wasn't sealing you'd know, it would dump steam out the side. Pull the float valve, clean it, and put it back together. Most of the lid is user-servicable and needs somewhat regular maintenance.

E: Just to be safe, pull the seal and swap it. Compare the sizes when you do it, too, as old seals expand before they fail. But you'd have to have been cooking in it 5 days a week for it to die in 6 months.

Sticking these in a 200-250F oven for a while gets rid of the smell, FYI.

Over the last two weeks, I've cooked every recipe that uses salami that I know of, but I still have over a pound of the stuff left. Any good ideas to use up these hundred or so slices?

Normally, being forced to eat muffulettas until the end of days would be ideal, but since I moved I can't the right bread for it anymore. And variety is never a bad thing, supposedly.

You just eat it by the slice, no prep needed. You sit down, assign a hand to salami grease duty and you work through those hundred or so proper like.
