Sorry for being obtuse - I did look mine up on the internet, although I couldn't imagine that it would be there, and it was. But the blade had an identifying mark of a newer model. As I thought, I have replaced the blade but the one I have is on the recall list.

This year I did the dark meat as a confit, so the skin went in with it. I took the (seasoned) breast skin off the light meat and baked it in the oven for 45 minutes at 400 between two pieces of parchment paper and two baking sheets. Was pretty good.

Am going to raft down the Grand Canyon. They suggest some kind of sarong to wear in camp, and to use to change under. Anyone have any idea of exactly what this might be? Sounds like a tent with holes for arms and legs to me! But seriously, any suggestions would be great.

I don't know what she did with the slope originally, but it has been expensive, and since she doesn't use it much, she is not working on it.
