genre: fluff, romance, fantasy word count: 11.4k

Year 2059.

Everyone has lost their minds finding solace in a world full of chaos. Dreams in a bottle are now being used like a drug in order to fulfill their wildest fantasies. Have you ever dreamt so good, you never wanted to wake up?

“You’re the dream I go to, every time I close my eyes.”

a/n: this is my first jaehyun fic, and the first fic i’ve written :> please understand if i’ve made any errors. i wanted to write this since i started stanning nct and i hope you guys enjoy!! oh and listen to this, it inspired me to write this story. hopefully it could set the mood as well.

“Happy birthday to me,” y/n said dully as she blew her candle. The smoke from her two and three candles went to her eyes which made her squint. For the past week, all she ever did was cry herself to sleep thinking how miserable she would spend her birthday this week ever since her boyfriend left her for ‘his future’ which she snorted at as she remembered how his arms were wrapped around her waist as he kissed this new girl and who just enrolled in his arts class.

She then started to arrange her gifts which mostly consisted of plain old birthday cards which her so called friends just gave to her at the last minute since her existence was forgotten due to the busy days of work. As she went through her gifts, she noticed another postcard from her parents that are probably touring around Europe. She scrunched her nose in disappointment, “What a good way to start my 23rd year of living on this planet,” she muttered. Y/N stood up pushing around all the teared pieces of gift wrap as she tried to navigate herself around the living room. As she moved, she accidentally kicked a box tas was buried under piles of garbage.

A white box with pink hearts decorated around it. On the side of a box, a sticky note was attached with a letter with handwriting that was too familiar.

Dear y/n

Happy Birthday! I’m sorry we can’t spend it together this year, you know how hard life is. But I do hope you enjoy the following days with my gift. I gave this to you to spice up your birthday. It’s definitely one of a kind, I hope you could forget your dickhead of a boyfriend with this. Call me once you try it ;)

Love,

Mei.

“If this is a box of lingerie or condoms, Mei can rot in hell,” Y/N grumbled. This definitely should be worth it. She peeled the sticky note, as a remembrance of the gift as she carefully opened the box. Inside were three small bottles of iridescent liquid that seemed like it had been mixed by a 10 year old playing with glitters and water. A small card was placed above the bottles with a note saying “The best dreams happen when you are wide awake,” with several instructions to only drink one bottle every night for good results. Y/N contemplated if she should drink from it now considering that its nearly 10pm. She spent her whole day moping around her room munching on junk food while thinking about how lonely and boring her life was. Maybe this potion is worth the try, and maybe, like what Mei said, it could spice up her life.

She took the bottle in her hands shaking it a bit as she watched the small pieces of glitter swirl around as if it was luring her to drink it. At first she tasted like vanilla, smooth and milky then suddenly it turned to taste like strawberry mixed with different other fruits. Soon after, Y/N fell on her bed as she drifted off.

————

Y/N felt as if she was thrown into a whirlpool as her head continued to spin. Bright light hit her face making her squint as she tried to slowly adjust to what she was seeing. Suddenly, people started to bump her as they made their way around the city. Y/N tried to make sense of where she was, it was a city that looked like it existed way back in the 1900s with the way people dressed. Women and men of all ages walked around the street as they clung unto their loved ones. Women were dressed in puffed blouses and below the knee skirts as they topped it with a trench coat to warm them from the cold. Men, on the other hand, were wearing top hand sand white button up with suspenders that were too old-fashioned for her liking as they paired it with trousers. As Y/N continued to make sense of what was happening, she passed by a shop where she saw her reflection, she was wearing the same thing everyone was wearing.

Great, how on Earth am I supposed to figure out what to do in this dream.

As she walked around, she noticed a long queue that led to a movie theater. Everyone seemed excited to watch this new ‘musical’ that only happens once every year and that is during the 23rd of Christmas, ‘The Impossible Dream’ was its title. She noticed that every poster posted on the streets had the same title written in cursive with a time, date, and location set. As she adjusted her coat that was wrapped around her, she noticed a ticket on her right pocket.  “The Impossible Dream, 6pm,” she muttered. “I drink a stupid bottle of dream and now I have to watch a boring musical,” she added as she pouted remembering to message Mei that she won’t be drinking anymore of her gift. Her eyes wandered from the people around her to the buildings, she knew no one in this dream and the faces she see are not even close to familiar. The place itself looks like a 90s movie setting with all the broadway and lampposts hanging around.

“Excuse me, this is the end of the line, right?” Y/N turned to look around at a man around her age with caramel brown hair and smiling as his dimples poked out. She stared at him longer as she admired his features, okay, this is definitely a dream because no one else in the real world would look as good as this fine man standing behind her. “U-um, yeah,” she cleared her throat as she gave tight smile embarrassed as she was caught staring.

“Come on, you gonna pretend like you don’t know me now?” He said as he pouted. Y/N looked at him confused, never in her life did she encounter him, maybe this is a preset of the dream but she decided to play dumb instead. “Hmmm, I don’t think I remember,” she said as she tried to think of a name that matches his face.

“It’s Jaehyun,” he said as he poked her cheek with his index finger as he shook his head disappointingly. “Are you my boyfriend?” Y/N blurted out as she felt her cheeks heat up at her sudden question. Jaehyun felt flustered as his ears turned red. “Um, well, I don’t know,” he said nervously chuckling. Y/N nodded as she turned to the front once again, boyfriend or not it doesn’t matter but for sure the handsome guy standing behind her played an important role in her dream. She tried to remember if she knew any Jaehyun in the real world but no one came close. Heck, no one even looks like him. Was she really that desperate on moving on, she literally dreamed of having a boyfriend way better than her ex? Okay, maybe.

The line started moving as people made their way towards the entrance of the theater. “I didn’t know you were interested in watching musicals,” Jaehyun said as he stood beside her as they both made their way in.

“Well, maybe you don’t know a lot about me then,” she shrugged as she gave him a teasing smile. “We’ve known each other for four years and you forget my name?” He teased back as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder to move her from the people that were constantly passing by to get to their seats. Y/N felt her heartbeat speed up at the intimacy feeling his chest pressed against her shoulder as she muttered apologies to those passing by.

“Watch where you’re going,” he muttered under his breath as he looked at her. Y/N blushed as she looked up to him. The lighting in the room giving his visuals more justice as it surrounded her head making him look like he has a built in halo.

As she made her way to her seat, Jaehyun followed closely behind as they both sat together. The play started as the lights dim but Y/N couldn’t care less about what was happening in the play as she felt bothered by Jaehyun’s presence. How did he have this effect on her when he doesn’t even exist? It was also their first time meeting. She slowly shifted on her seat to face Jaehyun in a discreet way as she tried to steal a glance at him. Jaehyun noticed her shifting taking it as a sign of uncomfortableness, placing a hand gently on the area above her knee squeezing it lightly and giving her a look of concern.

Y/N froze in her seat as she looked back at Jaehyun who was staring at her worriedly, eyebrows furrowed. She looked away quickly as she cleared her throat, nudging Jaehyun’s hand away by accident as she shifted to face forward. Jaehyun chuckled as he continued to watch the musical smiling to himself. “What’s so funny?” Y/N said as she crossed her arms trying to concentrate on the show but finding it difficult with Jaehyun seated right beside her. “You should take a picture, it would last longer,” he whispered in her ear as she felt his warm breath brush against her cheeks making it heat up. Thankfully, the lights were dim and Jaehyun wouldn’t be able to see how red her cheeks were from the constant display of affection he was showing to her. She wasn’t staring, she was just trying to capture his face on her mind so that when she wakes up from this dream she could finally move on from her ex.

“I still haven’t forgiven you for what you’ve done,” Jaehyun whispers again, Y/N looks at him in confusion to see him leaning slightly to her side with eyes still focused on the show. “What have I done?” She said raising a brow. She has only been inside her dream for 20min, she barely got to do anything except stare at the piece of art seated right beside her.

Jaehyun looked at her in disbelief as he flicked her forehead earning a smack on the shoulder. “You left me in the rain, I told you to call me but you didn’t,” he said as he looked at her again. Y/N frowned, not really knowing what to say. “Sorry, I was busy,” At this point, making up stories would only be the solution to questions as it was only a dream that she may forget when she wakes up. Jaehyun continues to stare at her with an unreadable expression. He nods anyway and she gives him a small smile.

“Are you really watching this?” Y/N asks bored out of her mind as the main lead in the musical continues to cry as she longs for her love one who she only meets inside her dream.

“No, I’m just here because I like sitting beside you,” Jaehyun replies shooting her a smile, his dimples making an appearance as they always seem present when she looks at him. She scrunched her nose in disapproval, definitely too good to be true. Prince Charming likes her in her dream, her love life must definitely be fucked up for her to be dreaming about these things.

“We can get out of here if you’re bored,” Jaehyun shrugs as he took her hand gently. He jutted his chin toward the exit raising a brow, “Okay fine, but I’m not spending any money,” she muttered making Jaehyun laugh as he pulled her from her seat. She didn’t even know how she would able to live in this dream.

As they walked around the streets, Y/N tried to ask more about herself so that she wouldn’t have to lie all the time she entered this dream. Never in her life did she experience a dream so realistic, lately, she had troubles sleeping and if she ever got to dream, it would be long forgotten the moment she woke up. A warm hand wrapped around her cold one pulling her out of her thoughts, her gaze shifted from the street to Jaehyun who was grinning at her.

“Do you remember how we met?” She asked as he swayed their hands playfully while walking. “Of course, it was definitely my favorite day,” he chuckled as he recalled how they first met. It was the first day of university and Jaehyun was late. It definitely wasn’t a good first impression to his professors considering how he got into the university because of a basketball scholarship, he used to be a star player back in high school which led him to many offers from big schools that wanted him as the ‘face’ of their team. Although, Jaehyun chose the one closest to his home as he didn’t want to stray farther away from his family, at the same time, his friends attended the same university as him. He tried to discreetly make his way inside the classroom as his professor continued to scribble on the board. Sitting down on the farthest seat as possible, he tried to catch up on the lesson they were having

“Excuse me, is this seat taken?” He heard a small voice say as he shifted his gaze. There she stood in front of him, wearing a yellow dress with her brown hair softly framing her small face accentuating her brown eyes that seem to hold the stars. Jaehyun gulped nervously as he shifted on his seat.

“No, you can sit here whenever you want,” he said a bit too excitedly as he continued to stare at her. The girl gave him a small smile as she sat slid on the seat beside him taking out her notebook and pen.

“I’m Y/N, by the way,” she whispered extending her arm which Jaehyun stared at a bit for too long, “Not that it matte-“ before she could put down her hand Jaehyun grabbed her hand firmly with a smile. “Jaehyun,” he said smiling which made her flustered. “Care to share why you’re late?” He whispered as he tried to start a conversation without getting caught by the professor. He didn’t even understand what was being taught anymore as all his attention was occupied by the girl seated beside him. “The traffic was too bad, why are you late?” She shrugged as she leaned closer to him with a teasing smile. Jaehyun snorted as he slightly bumped his shoulder with hers. They were close already despite the small amount of time they knew each other, “You’re watching me?” He teased as he raised an amused brow at her. Her nose scrunched as she bopped his nose with her pen. “No, I saw you make your way through the door earlier and decided to seat beside you,” she chirped making Jaehyun’s heart flutter. “If I knew better, I would say you stalk me,” he replied trying to brush off the tremble in his voice caused by the amount of flips his heart was making. “Just interested,” she beamed and diverted her attention back to the board. Jaehyun took a glance at her shaking his head at their exchange, silently taking note that he should definitely get her number after this class.

Y/N looked at Jaehyun with an unamused expression as he shrugged, “It’s true though! You tried to hit on me on the first day,” he said earning a punch on the shoulder. “I don’t think that’s how it went though!” She retorted blushing as she didn’t even know if Jaehyun made everything up. It was her first time meeting him, yet in this dream it seems that she’s been in it for years already. She did, however, like how straight forward she was based on Jaehyun’s story, maybe she did like herself better in this dream.

“You asked for my number, so basically, you hit on me,” she stucked her tongue out as she harshly tugged Jaehyun in what she feels like the direction of her house is. Jaehyun pulled her back as they stopped under a lamp post with the light illuminating his face in all the right angles. He leaned close until they were eye-contact level as Y/N tried to keep a blank expression even if her heart was basically going to burst from how close Jaehyun’s face was from hers as she tried to remember all the small details of his face. “You said you were interested first, so I guess I win this argument,” he said smiling at her. Y/N brushed it off as he pushed his face away with her index finger. Jaehyun then wrapped his arms around her waist as he pulled her closer making her grab his forearms for support at the sudden action. “What are you doing?” She said nervously as he started to sway from side to side as he looked at her making her blush at the sudden attention he was giving her. There was no way he couldn’t see how red she was right now. “Dancing, we used to do this all the time,” he said as he continued to sway to some tune he was humming. “I don’t know how to dance,” she muttered as she looked down trying her hardest not to step on his feet. “It’s fine, I can lead,” he said confidently as he continued to stare down at her making her stare at his chest as she couldn’t meet his eyes.

“Hey Y/N,” he mentions when he noticed how quiet she has gone. “Hmmm?” She replies looking up to him as she stared at the area between his brows, his eyes too much for her to take, afraid that if she looks at him she might as well just kiss him there. “I really like dancing here with you but do you mind?” He says as he looked down. Y/N followed his gaze and saw her shoe lace untied itself probably because she kept stepping on them as they danced.

“Oh, let me-“ as she tried to bend down to tie it, Jaehyun pulled her up lightly by the arm as he kneeled before her making her flustered she looked around for people as he basically looked like he was proposing to her. “I can’t have you fall for anyone else,” he grinned as he tried to stifle a laugh. Y/N huffed as she nudged him strong enough for him to fall backwards catching himself with his arms as he tried to stand up.

She walked quickly as she tried to go to what seemed like her house, with Jaehyun following closely behind her as he jogged trying to keep up with her speed. “You’re welcome,” he winked making her flustered once again as she crossed her arms. “I’m home now, aren’t you going?” She said though she really didn’t want him to go yet. She didn’t even know if that was her house but it seemed like it, somehow it just felt right to be there at that moment. Jaehyun chuckled as he took a step back putting his hands in his pockets.

“I hope you had fun today,” he smiled as he ruffled her hair. Y/N nodded as she entered her ‘house’. “Stay safe, Jaehyun,” she said softly as she took one last look at him. Before she could close the door, she felt Jaehyun stop it.

“Wait, before you go,” he held the door with one hand and the other finding the back of her head as his lips lightly touched her forehead. Y/N felt her heartbeat speed up as she closed her eyes at the feeling of his soft lips on her forehead.

“Meet me in your dreams,” he said as he smiled at her before finally closing the door.

——

Y/N jolted awake as she heaved heavy breaths. She felt as if she ran a marathon with how fast her heart was beating. She was back in her bedroom as she looked around. Nothing seemed to change, except the small box that was on top of her bedside table with now only two bottles of dreams. She sighed as she checked the time, she was out for about twelve hours already, although, in her dream only a small amount of time has passed. As she made her way out her apartment, she received a call from Mei.

“So how was it?” Mei asked enthusiastically as y/n could feel her interest on the other end of the line. Sighing she continued to walk down the streets in boredom, wasting time on finding something that would catch her eye.

“I didn’t know a dream could be realistic,” she muttered back. “And there’s this guy,” she added as she thought of this is really a great time to mention a character from her dream, especially to Mei, she woulld probably think she’s gone crazy. “What guy? Are you seeing someone?” The other responded, desperate to know if her friend has finally moved on. “What? No, I mean yes,” Y/N defended.

“It’s not about my ex, actually, there was someone in my dream.” She said. “I don’t really know if I met him before, but his features are very new to me. And you know what they say, that our minds can’t make up images, and everyone in our dream is someone we have met or saw before,” she added. There was no way she saw Jaehyun, if she did then she would probably remember him judging by how good looking he was. “Really? Well, you probably saw him in streets before,” Mei reasoned as y/n could only nod in response even if Mei couldn’t see her. “Anyway, you should really make that worth it. I heard the manufacturer of the shop closed down,” she mentioned as you made your way into a small coffee shop you saw across the street which seemed quite popular judging by the amount of female customers in there.

“Well, I only have two bottles left. I’ll call you when I finish it. Thanks for the gift by the way,” y/n replied as she ended the call

The cafe she entered was small, yet had a homely feeling to it. There was an amount of middle schoolers who look like they just finished school lining up as they perked their heads towards the counter. Y/N squinted as she saw the cute cashier and barista taking their orders. The cashier with white hair that for some reason seemed to match his big intimidating eyes and sharp nose and jawline. He wasn’t as big as the barista, but his body complimented his features as he smiled towards the group of girls who tried to catch his attention. The barista, on the other hand, was tall and had broad shoulders. His hair was dyed black, but he seemed really friendly despite his strong aura.

When it was her turn to order, she now understood why a lot of women in this city practically visited this shop everyday. From afar, she noticed how good-looking the staff were in the cafe, but now looking at them up close made her throat dry.

“I would like one iced latte,” she said shyly as the cashier smiled at her. She squinted her eyes at his name tag, Taeyong. Cute. “Are you new here?” Taeyong said as he pressed numbers on his screen for her order.

“Umm, I live around here. But it’s my first time in this cafe,” she mentioned as she looked around trying to distract herself from meeting his eyes.

“Cool, may I have your name?” He chirped as he smiled again towards her raising his brow. Y/N furrowed her brows as she stared back at him, “A-are you trying to ask me out?” She stuttered bewildered at the sudden question. Taeyong laughed as the barista behind him accidentally knocked a cup off as he turned around to look at her stifling a laugh as well. “What? Um, you’re cute but I need it for the cup,” he gestured raising a cup in his hand making y/n embarrassed as she heard the girls from behind whisper about how assuming she was.

“Oh, sorry,” she said lowly as she muttered her name quickly and paying as she moved to get her order.

——

Y/N sat on her bed holding the box of two bottles. Taking one, she shook it again as she saw the swirl of iridescent liquid calling her in. The whole time she mentally prepared herself for what was to come. To say she was excited to meet Jaehyun again was an understatement, she wanted to take the bottle again as soon as she stepped home but she remembered that there was only two left.

She took one bottle out deeply breathing in and out as she downed it all feeling the familiar taste touch her lips as she entered her dream once again.

When she woke up again she was in a garden, sitting up right as she felt something on her lap shift. Looking around, she noticed she was still in the same setting as before only, it was day and everything seemed bright as people continued to walk around minding their own business.

“You look beautiful from this angle down here, but I would appreciate it if you would look at me too,” a voice says as she looked down only to see Jaehyun lying down on her lap staring up at her with a small smile on his face. She blushed once again when she saw him, last night she thought he was breathtaking under the lamp post but under the sun he looked so much better with freckles scattered on his cheeks his eyes a lighter shade of brown and his dimples, ever so present, poking out.

“You were saying?” She says as Jaehyun stood up from her lap. “I’m starting to think you don’t pay attention to anything I say,” he complained as he dusted himself. Y/N stared right at him, wondering what they would do next.

“I need you to accompany me. I have this project going on and Johnny’s too busy to go with me,” he said as he took her hand. She wasn’t sure who Johnny was but she assumed he was his friend. Though she didn’t mind what his character would mean in her dream as he hasn’t showed up yet. She noted to herself that later on she would figure out who Johnny was and probably make the most of the second bottle she took. As they neared a building that look somewhat like a huge library, Jaehyun pulled her in a hurry as they made their way through old books.

Y/N groaned as she watched Jaehyun scan through the book once again trying to find the right thing. It was her dream, why is nothing interesting happening. “Jaehyun, what am I to you?” She asked as Jaehyun’s attention quickly went to her. His ears reddened as he rubbed the back of his neck shyly, “You said you weren’t my boyfriend. And you kissed me on my forehead, so who are you?” She asked as she hesitated mentioning that kiss as she felt herself become shy as she remembered how she woke up right after. Jaehyun nervously chuckled, to be honest, he himself did not know what their stand was. All he knew was that he wanted to protect her, and that he wanted to be with her always. It was all he ever knew since he met her, it was as if it was a role given to him by the gods to stand by her side no matter what.

“I’m not sure y/n, what do you want us to be?” He asks unsurely afraid of the rejection he might receive. Silently praying she won’t say ‘friends’. Y/N was taken aback as the question was thrown back at her. She didn’t know what they were supposed to be, nor did she know Jaehyun as much as he claims to know her.

Seeing the hesitation on her face, Jaehyun felt disappointed but decided to brush off the thought. “It’s okay, you don’t have to think about it.” He said as he gave her a pained smile which wasn’t unnoticed by y/n. “I can wait,” he said under his breath as he looked at her. Y/N looked at him in surprise, it was her dream. She could say whatever she wants, “I like you,” she blurted out as she waited for his reaction. Jaehyun’s ears, if possible, became more red as he heard her confession. He tried to stop the smile forming on his lips as he put back the book on the shelf.

“Well, that’s great because,” he said taking a step near her as he held both of her hands in his. “I am absolutely smitten by you,” he added ash he wrapped his arms around her shoulders pulling her into a hug. Y/N smiled as her cheeks hurt. She hugged him back, now this is definitely one of her best dreams ever. “Does that mean we can go on dates now?” She said as she pulled back. If she could live in a dream, then she would want to live in this dream forever.

Jaehyun grinned, “Lucky for you I booked us a date,” he said as he winked.

“Okay, maybe I don’t like you anymore,” y/n said as she made her way out of the library with Jaehyun laughing a bit too loud behind her.

————

As they made their way out of the library, Y/N found her hand once again wrapped around Jaehyun as he intertwined their fingers together. She smiled at Jaehyun’s affection. It was as if his hand automatically finds hers wherever they go.

As you both walked hand in hand, Jaehyun led you to a planetarium. “Have you ever been?” Jaehyun asks as he navigates his way through the streets. Constantly pulling you aside as you try to avoid people walking the opposite direction.

“I’ve never been to one actually,” you say wondering if you’ve ever been to one with your ex. To think of it, you really didn’t have enough time in the real world to explore the city during your past relationship. You were either curled up in your apartment or burrying your head in books. The dates you had previously were just last minute decisions as if he was just forced to take you out because you were together. But this time, with Jaehyun, it seems as if you actually got what you deserve. It may seem cheesy, but your heart fluttered when Jaehyun mentioned that he actually planned this date. It could be a preset in the dream, but that didn’t matter to y/n, all that mattered was that someone took the time to care for her and remind her how special she is. Even if that someone doesn’t really exist, she chose to ignore the thought. If there was a person who would break your heart again, you would be honored to have your heart broken by Jaehyun. And even with a broken heart, you would choose to love Jaehyun with all those little pieces.

“You should see the stars, they shine as bright as you,” Jaehyun added as they made their way through the planetarium. There wasn’t much people walking through, and everyone was speaking in hushed voices. As they walked through the planetarium, they entered a dark room with only the ceiling illuminated by galaxies and small celestial beings. Jaehyun looked at you with a small smile playing on his lips. He was fascinated by the way your eyes seem to shine even in the dark, like your eyes held the most beautiful stars as you admired the projected ceiling of light. Y/N then looked at Jaehyun who was still staring at her in awe. “You should take a picture, it would last longer,” she beamed as he scoffed lightly.

“So you steal lines now?” he said with an amused brow lightly applauding her sarcastically as you shoved him on his shoulder. “What else do I steal?” she said as they made their way around the room. “Probably my heart,” Jaehyun shrugged as he felt his ears turn red. He quickly looked up inspecting the ceiling as Y/N shot him a look of disapproval.

“If I wish on that star,” Y/N said pointing to a projected shooting star, “will my wish count?” you asked as you stared at Jaehyun whose eyes are still trained towards the ceiling as he looked at the constellations.

Jaehyun laughed as he put his hands into the pockets of his jacket. ���Maybe,” he said as he looked up. Y/N closed her eyes as she clasped her hands together. She knew it was pathetic, to be making a wish in this dream. But her pleas and prayers didn’t seem enough to calm her desperate heart.

I wish I could live in this dream a little longer.

They both sat down in the middle as they continued to enjoy each other’s presence. No one was around anymore as it seemed like the whole planetarium closed. Y/N already lost track of time, she didn’t know what has already happened to her in the real world, but for sure she was sleeping for the whole day already. Jaehyun, on the other hand, was still deep in thought as he slowly laid down on the floor with an arm tucked behind his head as a pillow, the other resting on his stomach.

“Do you ever feel like somewhere out there, there’s another version of us doing the exact same thing we are doing now?” he mentions as he continues to stare into space. Y/N glances at him and copies his position as she adjusted herself to be laying down beside him. Not really knowing what to say, Jaehyun took it as a sign to continue.

“I feel like I’ve been living in a cycle. It sucks really cause everyone I know either forget me, or they space out. Or it was as if I never really know them to begin with,” he says, frustration clear in his voice. His eyebrows furrowed as he continued to stare into the black space displayed on the ceiling. “You know, the other day, Johnny acted as if he didn’t really know me. I don’t even know if he was playing with me but it was like it was his first time seeing me,” he added as he turned to meet your eyes that were just focused on him. “It’s like how we saw each other back in the theater, you both acted the same way,” he pushed himself up as he supported himself with his arms.

“It’s the same every fucking time. I meet someone knew, we get to know each other, then all of a sudden they forget who I am,”

“I feel like I’m a character in someone’s dream,” Y/N gulped nervously as she slowly sat up. Jaehyun still confused as he blankly stared at his lap. Y/N didn’t know what to say, she didn’t know how to tell him that he was right and he was just a figment of her imagination and that all of this was from a stupid bottle her friend gave her for her birthday. You were scared to say something, afraid that revealing the truth would mean that you would wake up and that meant that you only had one bottle left to be with Jaehyun. Y/N grabbed his hand and gave it a light squeeze with a smile, hopefully, assuring him that everything will be alright.

“Promise me one thing,” he says as he faced her seriously. You nodded in response as you waited. “Don’t forget me,” he says carefully watching her reaction. Y/N chuckled as she shook her head, “That’s easy to do, Jae,” she laughed as she shaked their intertwined hands playfully. “Promise me you’ll also stay,” he added seriously. Y/N froze when she heard his words. To forget him was hard, she could remember him everyday when she woke up. But to stay was another thing, how could she stay when she only had one bottle left? How could she stay when he was just a character in her dream? How could she stay with someone who only exists in her memory?

She looked back at him, and the moment she did, she quickly regretted her actions. He was looking at her with so much hope in his eyes. Noticing her silence, the hope in his eyes turned into grim acceptance as he felt her hesitation. Y/N squeezed his hand making him look back at her. She had no idea what came in her, but she decided if its for Jaehyun, she would try.

“I promise,” she said firmly, eyes burning with determination. After all, a broken promise is better than none at all.

——

Y/N felt dizzy as she tried to get up from her bed as she leaned towards the bed stand to get her phone. Her mouth fell dry, remembering the promise she made Jaehyun as she dialed Mei’s number. “Help, I need to do something,” she said as soon as the line was answered.

“What is it this time? Did you finish the bottles already?” Mei asked groaning in response as you called too early for her liking. “No, tell me where you bought the bottles,” she said as she tried to balance her phone between her shoulder and ear as she wore pants. “I need to find who made those bottles,” she added disappointed at the lack of response from the latter. “I’ll send them to you, but I don’t think they’re open,” Mei replied, y/n sighed. She didn’t know why she made that promise, or how she would fulfill it. Back in her dream, everything seemed possible but now, all that was left was empty words that she regrets saying. She didn’t even know why she had a need to keep the promise to Jaehyun, he didn’t even exist to her disappointment.

After she received Mei’s message, she quickly headed out to go to the said shop. Her heart pounded nervously as she drove to the address. It was in a secluded part of town, there was no residential area near it and it seemed like a place that no one frequented to judging by the lack of public transportation that went to the area. She had to take a cab, and the look the driver gave her meant that it wasn’t a place to be in in the first place. As she stared at the shop in front of her, she suddenly felt so alone as the cab quickly left blowing a gust of wind. The small bells tingled when she walked in. The store was small and cramped with only a small counter near the end as she tried her best not to step on any of the antique items that were for display. Ringing the small bell on the table, she tried to inspect the place a bit more.

Her eyes squinted as she spotted a familiar poster hanging on the wall between two large dream catchers. ‘The Impossible Dream’ it read as small details were printed around. Her eyes widened in shock. It was the same poster from her dream, could it be that the musical actually existed? Would that mean Jaehyun existed? Before she tried to move further to get a closer look a stern voice spoke from behind the counter.

“What brings you here? We are closed,” her head whipped to the direction of the voice. There stood an old woman who was smaller than her with her white hair tied neatly up in a bun, eyes narrowing towards Y/N.

“That poster, where did you get it?” You said pointing in the direction of it as you tried your best not to falter in front of her gaze that seemed too strong for you to handle.

“That poster was made years ago by my ancestors, does it look familiar to you?” The old lady replied. Y/N nodded in response still debating whether the possibility of Jaehyun existing was real or not. “You took the bottles, didn’t you?” The old lady pressed on as Y/N muttered a small yes. “That was a mistake, you should have never taken it in the first place. I suggest you go home and continue on with your life, dark magic is not to be played with,” she said as she made her way towards the door behind the counter.

“No! Wait, I have some questions,” Y/N protested as she tried to block the old lady from disappearing.

“Forget about it now, what you experienced is not real,” the old lady said as she tried to make her way around you. Y/N continued to block her way which made the old lady sigh. You really didn’t want to give her a hard time considering her age, but you didn’t want to leave without unanswered questions.

“You say the dream I had wasn’t real, but why does that poster exist?” Y/N said as she moved to grab the poster that was hanging on the wall. It was designed exactly like what she saw on her dream. “What is this? What is in those bottles?” She gestured desperately waiting for an answer. The old lady sighed, grabbing a small stool and sitting down. “Those are bottles of dreams, my grandmother and my mother used to make it when I was still a child, telling me that one day it would change the world and that people would go crazy to get a sip of what was in it,”

“These bottles allow people to live in their deepest desires, everything you see in your dream is just a figment of your imagination. The potion lets you have what you want,” she added as she gestured towards the poster. “Luckily for you, what you desire isn’t that bad. But for others, it became too much. I stopped selling the bottles because things could get out of hand,” she said sadly. Y/N felt like the weight of her promise was crashing down on her. There was too much information for her to handle, the fact that Jaehyun did not exist made her sick. “I know you’re sad, everyone does once they find out they can’t have what they desire. But if it makes you feel any better, I can tell you one secret,” the old lady says hesitating as she finds the hope in your eyes glint at her words. “This poster, I am guessing you have seen it before in one of your dreams?” She questions as she holds it up in the light. Y/N nodded, “I want to know if the person I see in my dreams is true, or perhaps, I am holding on to this impossibility that he is true,” she mutters as she remembers Jaehyun. She only had one bottle left, meaning it would be the last time she would see him.

“This poster appeared here two days ago, I don’t know how it got here but I assume it is something from a dream. Just like everything in this shop,” the old lady said gesturing towards the other antique items. Everything was so random, as if it was just dumped with whatever things people could find.

“I am not sure if your dreams are real, and if the people do exist. But judging from how everything keeps appearing in random, they might be somewhere out there,” she added. Y/N breathed deeply, there was no assurance of Jaehyun existing in this world, but the existence of the poster means that he would probably appear in this shop if he were to be created. The poster alone ignited her desire to find him. If he did exist, where was he?

“Thank you, if you see anyone appear here around my age. Tall, white, handsome, basically looks like a prince, please let me know,” Y/N says as she leaves her phone number. The old lady chuckled, “Isn’t that too childish for a woman like you?” She says amused at your desperation to find this boy. “He’s a dream come true, can’t let anyone get to him,” y/n replies as she made her way out.

When Y/N returned home, she felt exhausted. She didn’t want to take her last bottle just yet. It could be her last chance of seeing Jaehyun, if what the old lady said was false. But seeing how the poster showed up, as well as other things that were in the shop, it gave her hope that Jaehyun existed somewhere out there. Another thing that bothered her was the fact that if he was out there, where was he? She didn’t even know where to start finding him. She hoped that he lived in the same country for her, she didn’t have enough money to find him if he were abroad. Nor did she think she was willing to find a man who basically existed based on her imagination. Even if he did live under the same skies, it was still to difficult task to do.

What’s the most you would be willing to do for the person you love?

Y/N took the last bottle of dreams, determined to keep her promise to Jaehyun. Adjusting once again to the bright light, when she woke up, she was seated on a chair in what seems like her room in her dream. She was wearing a white maxi dress that hugged her figure in all the right places, long enough to pool on the floor while she sat down. Her hair flowed down her back with curls toward the ends as her face was dolled with light make up.

Taking a good look of herself, she was satisfied with how she looked. If this was the last thing Jaehyun would see, then she was happy that he would see her at her best. When the doorbell rang, she made her way towards the door with a heavy heart as she reminded herself that this was her last bottle. When she opened the door, she smiled as she took in the sight of Jaehyun infront of her. His hair was gelled back with a fringe curled infront of his forehead. He was wearing a plain black suit and tie with a white dress shirt under. He held up a bouquet of fresh daisies as his cheeks were lightly pink from the cold (he tried to convince himself). “For you,” he shyly said, dimples making an appearance once again, he handed over the daisies as he stared down on his feet shuffling as he felt flustered by your presence.

Y/N pouted, he was the man of her dreams. Literally. She hoped she only drank half of the bottle now, because she definitely wanted to see Jaehyun dressed up like this for the rest of her life.

“What’s the matter?” Jaehyun said worried as he saw your lack of response. Taking your hand lightly, he rubbed small circles in the back of your hand as his other took your chin beneath his thumb and point finger. “Stop frowning, you look beautiful in that dress,” he complimented.

“You’re too good looking, I don’t think I can go with you anymore,” you reply trying to play off the somber mood as you give him a reassuring smile. Jaehyun chuckled, “You should see yourself,”

Both entered the venue, to say that it was extravagant was an understatement. It looked like a greek god threw a party, out of a sudden, Y/N felt out of place with all the people passing by looking like they were raised with a golden spoon. Feeling Jaehyun’s arm snake around her waist pulling her closer towards him, she glance at him sending him a small smile as she tries to gain confidence. “It’s fine, we can leave once you feel uncomfortable,” he says as he guides her towards the entrance. “Who has the money to throw this party? It looks ethereal,” Y/N loudly whispers shooting a fake smile to the guards who welcome both of you. “Moon Taeil, he’s a friend of mine,” Jaehyun replies as he inspects the place. Y/N looks around as she admires the gold chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and tall white pillars around the place with gold vines wrapped around it.

“By the way, you look ethereal,” Jaehyun whispers close to her ear, his lips brushing against her earlobe making her flush. He leads her to their table and leaves to get the drinks which makes y/n snap back to her plan. Honestly, she really did not have a plan. She didn’t know how she should spend her last bottle, but for sure she had to act quickly. She thought of hugging Jaehyun or at least holding his hand tight enough for her to bring him to reality, but everything seems pathetic at this point. Looking around, she decided to go to the restroom to at least settle with a final plan. As she made her way through the hallways, she looks at the pictures hanging on the wall. It all looked like some portrait of a royal family, but one picture has caught her eye. Narrowing her gaze, she inspects a picture of a woman probably around her 20s with eyes set forward as if it was staring at her back.

“Where did I see this before?” Y/N mutters under her breath as she stared longer at the woman. Shit, it was the same woman from the shop, only a younger version. Her eyes widened, as she tried to find more pictures of the woman. Y/N slowly tried to reach for the frame, carefully touching it as she tried to find a trace of anything that could help her to bring Jaehyun to reality. Biting on her lip, she continues down the hall in desperation to find hints. As she neared the end, she felt a gust of wind blow towards her.

Turning around, she finds herself in the middle of the street. It was the same street where she met Jaehyun, the first time she appeared in her dream. She looks around and notices the same poster hanging around. Breathing deeply she turns around once again, “What the fuck is going on?” She asks herself.

“Excuse me, where am I?” She asked as she grabbed an arm of a woman who was walking down the street. The girl ignored her like a ghost as she shook her arm of and continued to walk as if nothing happened. Y/N tried asking different people but they all pretended as if they couldn’t hear her. She continued to walk down the streets, noticing a familiar building. The shop she visited, the one with the old lady.  Y/N tried opening the door, continuously pounding on it with her fists. “Hello! I need some help, I’m the girl from awhile ago!,” she pleaded as she continued to pound the door with her fists. “Please help me,” she cried out as she shook the door handle. After numerous attempts of trying to open the door, she decided to go back.

“Jaehyun, where are you,” she said feeling her eyes water as she ran around trying to find him in the crowd. Closing her eyes, she tried to control her dream. “I am in the party, I am with Jaehyun,” she chanted, eyes tightly shut as she clenched her fists. Her cheeks wet with streaks of tears that have escaped her eye.

Opening her eyes again, she finds herself in a bathroom. Heaving deep breaths, she looks around her cautiously, afraid that she would lose herself in her dream. After wiping her tears, she made her way towards the party. She finds Jaehyun in the corner talking to a woman around her age her hair long and straight. She looked smaller next to his bigger frame and her eyes were sparkling, y/n was not sure if it was from the light or was it just really her. The woman laughed lightly at what Jaehyun says as she gives him a charming smile. She matched the princess in fairy tales looking as regal as Jaehyun could be. This made y/n sad, it was her dream all along, but if she couldn’t bring Jaehyun to reality then he might as well just live his happily ever after with this woman.

But she might be able to bring him with her, and she wasn’t going to back down without a fight. Y/N clenched her fists, I was gone for a while and this idiot didn’t even try to find me, feeling the green monster in her heart rise she huffed out loud stomping over to the both of them.

“What happened to drinks?” She said making Jaehyun jolt at her sudden presence. “I was just about to get it,” Jaehyun answers as he glances at Y/N. “This is Naeun, a friend of mine, and this is Y/N,” he says gesturing to the both of you. Naeun gives her a small smile raising a hand, while Y/N continued to stare at her blankly.

“His girlfriend,” you scoff as you glared at Jaehyun. “I didn’t know it could take you fifteen minutes to get a drink,” she mocked as Jaehyun looked at her with an amused smile. “I just got here, what are you talking about?” He replied. Y/N raised her brow, “I went to the bathroom,” she argued back. Naeun looked at the two, excusing herself as she didn’t want to get caught up between them. “I just sat you down though,” Jaehyun pouted at her response not liking that she was upset with him. Y/N was confused, didn’t she just get lost in her dream? Or did time just stop and everything continued to flow for her? She decided to drop the topic, sitting down on the stool next to him.

“Doesn’t matter, who is she?” She questioned jutting her chin towards Naeun’s direction as she took a sip from the Andy Player Jaehyun ordered from her directing her attention towards the front avoiding his teasing eyes. “Just a friend from high school,” he said taking a seat as well as he took a sip of his drink, his smiling growing wider at her reaction. Y/N rolled her eyes as she played with the liquid in her glass, “Sure, you seem happy to be reunited,” she mocked, jealousy coating her words. “Hmmm, are you jealous?” Jaehyun asked as he leaned one arm on the counter looking at her with a teasing smile she would like to wipe off his face because not only did he irritatingly looked too good to be true, the veins in his arms were also distracting. Fuck Jaehyun and his rolled up sleeves, Y/N found it unfair, he looked like God’s favorite.

“No, why would I be jealous?” She said defensively taking another sip of her drink. “I don’t care who you mingle with,” she dragged on with a tone as she stuck her tongue out. Jaehyun laughed, “Really?  Cause I don’t remember asking me to be your boyfriend,” he added. Y/N chocked on her spit at his statement as she glared at him, “Forget I said that,” though she secretly liked how he seemed to be fine with that title. “To be honest, I really don’t want to,” he retorted. Y/N flushed as she felt herself shrink on her seat.

“I want to dance with my girlfriend, may I?” Jaehyun stated as he offered her a hand, smiling as he raised his brows making Y/N scoff. She really wanted him to stop, it wasn’t good for her heart that probably did a thousand of flips at every word he says.

She took his hand as they made their way towards the dance floor, Jaehyun’s arms wrapped around her waist as he pulled her closer, his other arm guarding each of her hand to wrap around his neck as they found themselves back to her waist. Y/N felt bittersweet, remembering the first time they saw each other and how they were in the exact same position just in a different setting. Jaehyun hummed with the slow song that was playing, lightly mumbling the lyrics with his baritone voice, as his smile never left his face, “This feels familiar,” he says lightly chuckling as he guided her once again through their dance. Y/N this time, only looked at him, no longer looking at her feet. “I think I could get used to this,” she replies making Jaehyun’s smile grow wider, his ears turning red.

“I may have not told you this earlier, but you look beautiful tonight,” he said face serious as they continued to sway to the music. “I mean, you look beautiful everyday, but you look extra pretty now,” he added. Y/N’s face scrunched up in disapproval, never fond of compliments but ever so receiving when it comes to Jaehyun.

“You look handsome as always, Jae,” she said sincerely, lips quirking up slightly at the new nickname she gave him.

Y/N glanced at Jaehyun once more as he continued to guide her carefully through the dance, her heart heavy as it seems that the thought of him not existing in reality would not leave her alone. Hesitating, she looks one more at the smile he has on his face, she really doesn’t want to hurt him. I don’t think I have it in me to hurt you, ever.

“I lo-“

“Jaehyun, I have to tell you something,” she says cutting him off as he was about to say something. Jaehyun looked at her surprise but smiled understandingly, this can wait, I can wait, l just a little bit more, he thought.

They went to the garden, there were still people walking around but less compared to those inside. Y/N’s heart was beating too loud she could hear it in her dream, she has to risk it. She needed to tell him, she had to tell him. “Just let me speak, and I’ll answer all your questions later,” she says as he looked at her curiously. Jaehyun nodded in response, encouraging her to continue as he grabbed both her hands to help her calm down.

“You don’t exist, you’re a part of my dream,” she said as she looked at Jaehyun whose eyebrows just furrowed, pursing his lips as to stop him from asking questions.

“It was my 23rd birthday two days ago, my friend gave me a gift of bottles that contained dreams. I thought it was bullshit at first, but the moment I drank the first bottle, I met you. And I don’t know how to tell you this, but you’re just a part of my imagination. It pains me to say it, but I don’t think I could hide the truth from you anymore. The next time I met you, it was when we were at the park, I remember you asking me how I spaced out and how I seem not to pay attention. It was because I wasn’t mentally present when you were speaking to me. All those times I met you, I fell in love with you because you were all I ever wanted, and it hurts me to think that I can’t even have you in my life,”

  Y/N’s tears continued to roll down her face as she sobbed trying to gather her thoughts as Jaehyun looked at her with a mix of confusion and frustration. “This night, I drank my last bottle,” she says voice shaking as she felt Jaehyun’s hands stiffen under her hold.

“Remember when we made our wishes? I wished to live longer in this dream,” she says as he hugged her. Her tears drenching his suit, but that didn’t matter. This maybe her last moments with him, and her heart was hurting too much for her to take.

“Jaehyun, I love you,” she sobbed. She said it, without hesitation as she looked at Jaehyun with teary eyes. Jaehyun bit his lip, he didn’t even know where to start asking. He hugged her tightly as he felt his tears touch his lips, the taste salty as it continued to flow down his face. “I won’t tell you mine, because it won’t come true if I do,” he says as he puts a hand on his shoulder his face bending down to meet her eyes. His other hand brushed the stray strands against her face as she continued to cry.

“I shouldn’t be crying like this, we shouldn’t be doing this,” she said as she wiped her tears away trying to think of happy thoughts.

“Y/N, look at me,” Jaehyun said seriously. His hands with a firm grip on his shoulder. Y/N tried to hold back her tears as she saw the pain on his eyes, long gone the smiles he gave her earlier.

“Promise me, you’ll try,”  Y/N nodded as she grabbed his face and pressed a firm kiss on his lips.

“Don’t leave me, please,”

“I won’t, I swear,”

—————

Y/N woke up, her cheeks still wet as she felt tears stream down her face. Everything felt so real, the kiss, the confession, the promises. Jaehyun’s words still echoing in her mind as if she could hear his deep voice whispering beside her.

The moment she got up she tried contacting the old woman, and going back to the shop only to find that it was closed already and was going to be demolished soon. It has been a week since she last saw Jaehyun, a week since she has drank her last dream in a bottle. However, the heartache she went through was still as fresh as it was when she woke up. She tried her best to find him. She visited different libraries, reading on books about what happened to her and if there was a way to reverse it. She even tried going to a planetarium in hopes of finding Jaehyun there, but all found nothing. Some people thought she was crazy, and that she was hallucinating everything, but they didn’t know her story.

She even found the same venue where they had the ball, but to her disappointment, she never found anything that could lead her to Jaehyun or vice versa. It was if he was just a memory she was to forget. But that was the problem, she couldn’t forget him. She promised him she would try, and she didn’t want to let him down. Sometimes, she wondered what he was doing. Was he also trying to escape her mind? Was he with Naeun now that she was gone? Does she get those cheesy pickup lines he tells her? What was he doing now? Did he love her?

There were times when she tried to dream of him, but it wasn’t real. All she got was an image of him, but it didn’t feel like how she dreamt of him when she had the bottle. She tried to widen her imagination, and picture him with her. But it was too tiring for her, after all, she only had three nights of dreams.

As she made her way down the busy streets, she walked quickly as she navigated her way towards the central park as she continued to avoid the people bumping her while they were walking the opposite direction. She stopped in front of the cafe, heaving deep breaths. As she made her way in she walked towards the table in the corner, her lips forming into a smile as she saw the familiar face.

“It’s been a while,” she said hugging Mei. Mei grinned back at her and gestured her to sit down.

“So, how’s life so far?” Mei asked enthusiastically as she sipped on her tea, crossing her legs as she leaned forward. Y/N shrugged as she took a bite of her banana cake, “Nothing much, it’s been boring lately,” she said as she stabbed the banana cake and stuffing another piece into her mouth. “You know you never called me after the second bottle,” Mei huffed.

“Nothing happened, I tried to find the manufacturer because I needed more but the building was demolished,” she replied bitterly. “Ohh yeah, but the dreams were good right?” Mei responded.

“Yeah, too good to be true,” Y/N replied dejectedly. “Do you ever like, want your dreams to come true?” She asked Mei curiously as she bit her fork. “Of course, why the sudden question?” Mei retorted. “I dreamt about this guy, and he’s wonderful. He’s everything I’ve ever wanted, and I just wished he was true,” she replies sighing remembering Jaehyun once again which made her feel bittersweet. It was like she was the only one who knew him inside out, he literally was the man of her dreams.

“I don’t know what you dreamt about but whatever it is, I guess those bottles really work then,” Mei shrugged. “Besides, attachment is the root of suffering,” she adds taking a bite of the banana cake and wiggling her brows.

As she navigated her way home, Y/N sighs once again. Was it really that hard to forget Jaehyun? He didn’t even exist yet here she is feeling broken hearted as if she was cheated on once again by her ex boyfriend. Moving towards a crowd she felt people bump against her making her scrunch up her nose in irritation, “Damn, can’t people watch where they’re going?” She muttered under her breath as she made hurried strides towards her apartment.

Before she could take a turn, she felt a body bump against her as she fell on her butt looking up squinting. Pair of hands helped her stand up as she dusted herself, flustered that she caused a scene in public.

“Thank you,” she muttered quietly to the stranger who didn’t seem to budge as she tried to make her way.

“You should really watch where you’re going,” a deep voice said. Looking up, her jaw slacked. There he stood in front of her, with a light smile in his face his hair still swept back as he was dressed in a plain white tee with denim jeans and white sneakers. Jaehyun. If he looked ethereal in her dream, then she didn’t even know how to describe how he looked as he stood in front of her as she continued to stare at him in awe.

“I didn’t know you were this clumsy, I think you need to get used to me guiding you everywhere,” he added shaking his head as he took her hand in his as his smile radiated. He chuckled at her noticing her lack of response. He placed a small kiss on her forehead as his arm wrapped around her shoulder as he pulled her towards the direction of her apartment.

“How did you find me? How are you here? Are you real?” Y/N asked hurriedly as she stared at him in shock. Everyone was looking at Jaehyun, who wouldn’t really? The girls around continued to stare at him with heart eyes but they didn’t matter to him as his arm tightly wrapped around your shoulder. They didn’t matter cause they weren’t you. Y/N was too bewildered to even glare at those girls as her mind started thinking of all the possibilities on how he appeared.

“My wish came true,” Jaehyun stated as he faced her grinning at her amazed state. “What did you wish for?” Y/N asked curiously as she looked at Jaehyun who was still smiling at her softly.

“I wished I could spend the rest of my life loving you,”

Y/N stopped walking as Jaehyun grabbed her shoulders and faced her towards him. “Why did you say that? Now it won’t come true,” she scolded him as she pouted. Jaehyun laughed at her response. “I’m not going anywhere though, you got me, you got me good,” he winked making her blush just like in her dream.

“Oh and Y/N,” he added as he bent down meeting her eyes as she looked at him with flushed cheeks and bright eyes.

“I love you too,”

four. Material of the Water Tank Typically, substances used for water tank heaters are either copper, thermoplastic or stainless steel. These substances make sure performance and safe output.

Copper: It is one of the most used substances to build tanks for water heaters. As copper is a good conductor of heat you can get a brief response in heating the water. However, it reasons corrosion, loss of heat and regular renovation. Stainless steel: Commonly used in maximum of the cutting-edge day water warmers, stainless steel tanks are generally covered with anti-corrosive powder and glass lining to preserve the tank loose from corrosion and other electrochemical reactions. The insulation is better and additionally requires little to no maintenance.

Thermoplastic: A lesser known material for a tank. However, thermoplastic tanks have a higher non-corrosive characteristic while compared to copper. On the drawback, they are now not insulated.

5. Anti-Scale And Anti Corrosive While shopping a geyser, it is very crucial to check whether or not the water tank has anti-corrosive and anti-scale lining. However, before that, examine whether or not your water is hard or gentle. In a few elements of India, best of water is extraordinarily terrible. Hard water can easily corrode and construct-up calcium scales inside the water tank – that could damage the heating efficiency. And you can have to update the water heater as soon as in a 12 months.

To remedy the corrosion problem, producer’s coat the inner of the water heater tank with anti-corrosive materials. Some of them include porcelain tooth glass, glass lined, vitreous tooth, blue silicone tooth, titanium and numerous others.

Steel-based totally alloys and glass coatings offer right insulation, less corrosive, maintain authentic floor for longer time. Placing magnesium rods in the middle can hold corrosive salts at bay. For stopping any harm, you can use water softeners – as they convert difficult water to soft water.

6. Insulation In order to lessen energy intake, geysers are wrapped in warmness insulation. Apart from that, insulation additionally hurries up the heating system and maintain working temperature. Thicker the insulation is, lesser the warmth loss might be. Geysers gift in the marketplace have exclusive insulation rankings. However, for more effective effects, you may upload greater layers of greater insulation outdoor the heater as well.

Most normally used geyser insulation is fiber glass wool this is fixed with straps or entice. When the burner is used, the insulation must block combustion gasoline outflow and air go with the flow. Some current geysers come with PUF (polyurethane foam). They are a great deal better than glass wool as it has the capability of retaining water temperature for a long time. This now not handiest saves 40% strength but additionally the shop money as well.

7. Pressure If you own a flat or stay in a multi-storied excessive rise constructing, then these apartments have excessive strain pumps to make certain water reaches each flat. If the water stress inner geyser gets too high, then it is able to result in problems like leakage. The pressure in the geyser depends on pressure of tap supplying the water and water growth interior at the same time as heating. Usually, the pressure is calculated in bars.

An ideal water heater with extra than 6 bars can resist excessive water strain. Any decrease than that, leakages and tank bursts can be expected. Most of the cutting-edge day geysers come with a protection valve to depressurize the water inside the tank by way of releasing a few quantity of water. Glass coated covered internal tank is more suitable as they'll face up to excessive strain.

8. Heating Element Heating element is likewise as vital as the tank cloth. Most brands make copper heating elements with a coating use to save you corrosion.  Some manufacturers use glass coated Incology heating element; they're taken into consideration to be the fine in resting corrosion and the most highly-priced ones. They final for about four years with difficult water source. Another popular heating element is glass covered copper heating detail; they may be now not so steeply-priced but are pretty exact. Copper lined heating element lasts for about 2 years even in tough water source regions.

Nine. Auto-Off Feature Most of the modern-day water tank warmers have a clever characteristic – automatic shut off. Sometimes, human beings forget turning off the water heater. In such conditions, this factor is beneficial. It helps to show off the geyser by preventing unnecessary strength intake.

10. Power Consumption Electrical water heaters upload up to fifteen% of your monthly energy bill depending upon the weather situations and intake. Although maximum of the household home equipment are electricity efficient, it's miles nevertheless critical so that it will recognize the quantity of power your water heater consumes to be able to make a few financial savings.

Units consumed = Water volume X Temperature difference X Cost of power.

Other than this, there are some elements you need to recollect deciding the energy intake of the water heater.

Input water: The price of heating depends of the preliminary water temperature with a view to change with season, additionally the power consumption. Purpose of water: useless to say, the purpose of water utilization performs an critical function in strength intake. Large quantity of water calls for greater strength. Thermostat setting: all the contemporary electric water warmers come with a thermostat that helps you to set a temperature that is similarly continues the use of the car on/shut off feature. Auto-off: a geyser with vehicle off characteristic shuts the device off after accomplishing the desired temperature which prevents unnecessary strength consumption. Heat retention: despite the fact that most of the modern-day warmers do include this option, this is a much less extensive feature identifying the efficiency of the product. The more the heater retains the warmth, the less power it consumes. Eleven. Wattage Usually, electric water warmers excellent perform at 1500-2000 watts. Some branded geysers include expanded strength to 3000 watts which draws greater strength over a short time frame. A geyser with excessive drift rates (100L/hr) will draw greater electricity than water heaters with decrease float quotes

12. Ratings All the water heaters are marked with a BEE big name rating by way of the Government of India. Higher the range of stars (on a scale of five), the greater strength efficient the device is. Star score is some thing one has to take into account in order to store money and time at the longer run. Five-megastar rating geyser is greater energy green and works on a lot lesser strength than a geyser with 4-big name rating. Always remember shopping for any home equipment with four or better celebrity score.

Make certain your bathroom/kitchen has about 2 toes of space to healthy a vertical mount water heater.

14. Build and Material Now that we understand the significance of the cloth utilized in constructing the inner tank, let us examine the limitations set in building the outer frame.  The outer body may be built using plastic. However, a sturdy material which includes ABS is favored. The plastic even helps in moulding the heater to the favored shape and design.

15. Additional Features It is constantly accurate to have a few additional capabilities like properly design, adjustable knob and others to make the washing enjoy even greater handy. Our frame can not handle too hot water, so you don’t require warm water that exceeds 50 tiers Celsius. That is why, it is better to have customized warmness temperature adjustment in a geyser. This will save you the conflict of mixing warm and cold water to get ideal hotness. And moreover, it saves  electricity bill as well.

Sixteen. Durability and Maintenance The durability of water heater represents the capacity to face up to and function successfully even in unsightly conditions. The durability of the geyser ensures long-lasting nature without any harm to the product. Moreover, the renovation of the geyser relies upon on geyser type and frequent utilization.

Frying performance of Bella 1.6 qt air fryer

The Bella 1.6-qt. air convection fryer performs very well in terms of frying your food very nicely (lie Bella 1.2 qt air fryer model only), as long as you do not overfill your basket. It makes fries for two adults at a single operation, with only one tablespoon of oil. You could get about four to five pieces of chicken in the basket. However, you have to position those chicken pieces so that they do not overlap too much.

Compact size

The Bella 1.6-qt. air convection fryer is the tiniest of all the air fryers that we have tested in our lab. The two and a half liter frying basket holds 2.2 pounds of meal. We are not sure “pounds of food” is the correct way to describe the capacity of the device.

PRO: We would say this is the nicest size for two to three people, or it might be a family with tiny children.

CON: The device is light, easy to carry anywhere you desire, a however little bit tough to transport as it is an awkward shape and size. No handles. You are sort of having to hug it or just grip it with your palms on either side.

Minimal controls of Bella 1.6 qt air fryer

One of our gripes about advanced appliances is that there are a bunch of buttons, options, and levers. Some newer tiny appliances have adopted the “minimalistic” look with unique icons and pictures instead of words.

However, that actually makes usability very tough. One of the toaster ovens we experimented with recently featured unique icons so cryptic which we needed to have the manual guide handy at all times.

A bread device we tested last year needed us to press 5 unique buttons, each with a minimum of six different configurations, in order to just make a loaf of bread. With the help of the Bella Air Fryer, the configurations are smooth to use and understand. Turn the dial to the recommended setting. Done.

Price

This is where Bella shines. We have reviewed many Bella models, and all of them performed very fascinatingly, even compared to competitor models twice the price tag.

PRO: The Bella Air Fryer is less than $50 price (at time of publication). If you are searching for an inexpensive, no-frills air fryer that is totally perfect for one to three people, this is the nicest choice.

However, for bigger requirements, you can read our reviews on Ultrean Air Fryer, and Tristar air fryer.

If you do not have toaster ovens, then you get two big countertop appliances together with the flexibility of a single using these toaster ovens. If this fryer arrived initially, I was doubtful and wondering just how much power it might use and how much space it would take on the countertop.

This is roughly half of the cost as a number of the large brands on the market but includes a lot of high ratings and positive attributes too. If you are worried about paying too much, this is a fantastic option! This is exceptional as it’s developed to have a more compact design complete, but it’s a fairly large capacity dimension. These air fryer toaster ovens may hold around 10.5 quarts, which will be quite similar to other versions. The timer is flexible, and also the temperature warms up to 450 degrees.

Yedi Total Package Air Fryer Oven XL Buy From Amazon Unlike the majority of the other people on our listing, the Yedi Total Package is much better as an air fryer than as a toaster oven. Should you make absolutely certain to throw or flip over food during cooking, then you receive fantastic air frying outcomes. Just like the majority of air fryers, frozen foods come out browner and crisper than those ready from scratch. While the Yedi includes a toast feature, it is not actually a toaster. It is essentially baking your bread, and it will this unevenly. After pressing on the Toast button, the machine enables you to lift or reduce the air fryer toaster oven temperature however does not permit you to decide on the number of pieces or occasions for various levels of doneness. You are going to need to work out for yourself just how long and at what temperature to bake your bread to have it toasted for your liking. Biscuits came out quite unevenly browned on top and hardly colored on the floor. After we baked a cake from a cake mix, it was nearly burnt with a massive dome and a lot of cracks. One of the huge benefits of this Yedi is the fact that it’s a rotisserie. As soon as it’s a little bit of a hassle to install, in only 40 minutes that the rotisserie delivered a moist chicken using a golden-brown crackling skin. Instead of it is broad, the Yedi does not occupy as much space as a normal toaster oven, but it is not so tall that it will not fit under a cupboard. It’s an electronic control panel, but it takes a number of actions to choose your setting. The manufacturer recommends hand washing each of the components, which is not simply thanks to plenty of cracks requiring some detail work to receive spotlessly. The sole exception is that the drip pan, which includes a nonstick finish. Together with the Yedi, along with an air blower basket and a baking dish, you also get two mesh trays such as dehydrating, an air skillet, a rotisserie, and contraptions for cooking beef and skewers. Meaning there are a whole lot of pieces, a number of them little, to shop for. Alas, the guide, which includes the Yedi, isn’t quite as useful as it might be. 11. Black+Decker TO3265XSSD Extra Wide Crisp ‘N Bake Air Fry Toaster Oven Buy From Amazon The TO3265XSSD is a cheap toaster oven with an integrated air fryer . That implies, beyond baking, broiling, and toasting, in addition, it enables you to air bake, even just a sizable 4-pound chicken, directly within the oven. For this affordable cost, the oven includes all you want to make healthily fried and baked recipes in the home. It is a choice that makes owning a flexible air fryer toaster oven easier for people with limited budgets. In comparison with the best selection, this device is a lot more affordable but still comprises essential capabilities. It is accompanied by an air fry basket, bake/broil pan, and stand, and an outside crumb tray that could slide in and out for simple cleaning. It preheats in moments; this way, you will have the ability to save time and reduce energy use. While its air skillet provides you with a deep-fried taste with no fat, the four additional purposes (bake, toast, broil, and keep heat ) should give you infinite cooking chances. It is 21.5 inches tall, 23 inches wide, and 11.2 inches deep. It is big enough to fit a 9″x13″ pan with packs, 8 pieces of bread, or even a 12″ pizza. It includes 1,000 watts of cooking power, which can be powerful enough to roast a whole grain. Its 60-minute timer is a traditional guide timer that may be used to get a vast array of cooking jobs. The timer is helpful, exact, and simple to use. There are not any instructions about the best way best to use this machine. They are not even on the business’s site, either. Many users claimed they needed a hell of a time getting the air skillet to operate correctly. 12. Instant Pot Vortex Plus 10 Quart 7-in-1 Multi-Use Air Fryer Buy From Amazon From the manufacturers of this Instant Pot, these air fryer toaster ovens are, in fact, the best of both worlds, condensing all of the best areas of the air fryers to a leading convection oven. With seven built-in smart apps, you can create numerous dishes simultaneously together with all the baking, broiling, and rotisserie preferences. It’s a whopping 10-quart capability, which lets you cook both trays simultaneously but may not be good if the counter area is an issue. But that is a small price to cover cook moment: with small to no preheating required; Instant Pot boasts you can whip up dinner at half the time of a traditional oven. It comes with a fairly nifty rotating rotisserie basket which you may utilize to”tumble-fry” or roast beef 360 degrees. The brightly lit touchscreen is slick and contemporary, offering 14 easy touch controls. The Instant Vortex also comprises Overheat Protection, which lessens the danger of you burning off the meal you worked hard (although not so difficult ) to create. The Instant Vortex Plus demonstrates that whatever your typical air fryer can perform, this toaster can perform better. 13. Ninja DT251 Foodi 10-in-1 Smart Air Fry Digital Countertop Convection Toaster Oven Buy From Amazon The Ninja DT251 Foodi is just another wise oven with approximately ten times the convection energy of a conventional oven to get succulent, crispy, and quicker results.

This 1800-watt air fryer toaster oven cook using the ideal doneness. In addition, it includes an integrated meals smart thermometer to carry the guesswork out and make sure you are cooking at the exact temperature.

This huge cooking area can accommodate a sheet pan of veggies, a 12-pound turkey, two 12-inch pizzas, plus 5 pounds of chicken.

Chefman Air Fryer Toaster Oven Buy From Amazon The Chefman Air Fryer Toaster Ovens are an analog-style oven using a top-mounted control panel. It’s a front-loading door with two oven racks and will hold around 25l, placing it directly in the center of the pack concerning capacity. These ovens include 7 distinct modes and using a very simple analog port; it takes very little effort to get this up and running. One particularly wonderful feature about these ovens are the simple fact that the removable bits such as the oven rack and skillet are dishwasher safe. While I regularly recommend handwashing your accessories where the potential to prolong their useful lifetime, it’s wonderful to know that at a pinch, you can just throw them in the dishwasher and then walk off. Price-wise this version is slightly more affordable than a few of the versions on this listing, and if you’re interested in finding an easy, easy-to-use analog air fryer/toaster oven, then this is certainly the version for you. But if you’re searching for something a bit more appealing or full-featured, then among the other versions on this listing will likely work out somewhat better. 15. Hamilton Beach Countertop Toaster Oven Buy From Amazon The Hamilton Beach countertop toaster oven has been designed with user convenience in mind. It’s possible to guess that on your own by taking a look in its cooking room. It stands lower compared to those of different versions within this review and so provides you simple access to your meals. Similar is true for its own door/viewing window. It moves upward and from the way of this room when you are putting into or taking food out from the air fryer toaster oven. This permits the door to steer well clear of drips and messy spills through the loading/unloading of meals. It is possible to use the 3 dials found on the side to bake, broil, and toast your meals. They also allow you to set the time that you would like to cook your foods and also the temperature where you would like to cook them. And also, the simple fact they’re contoured means that the dials are a breeze to move. Within the cooking room, you’ll be able to match six pieces of toast simultaneously. The compartment is spacious enough to maintain a 12-inches pizza or 9″ x 11″ bake pan. Hamilton Beach further sweetens the deal by creating this device’s crumb tray detachable for simple cleaning. How To Choose The Best Air Fryer Toaster Ovens Size & Capacity Generally, air fryer toaster ovens can be found in two standard sizes: large and medium. By experience, I will tell you that bigger toaster ovens are frequently more flexible due to the excess surface area they’ve. A medium-sized air fryer toaster oven can hold between four to six pieces of toast. A huge toaster oven may generally hold eight or longer. If you intend to mainly be cooking only for yourself or on the spouse/partner, a medium-sized air fryer oven ought to be adequate. For households or larger parties, a bigger-sized one is significantly preferable. Analog vs Digital controls Analog controls: There are 3 particular benefits in air fryers using analog controls. They’re available at a low price, are quite simple to use (even for the older ), and include a dial that lets you place their temperature and time. That’s the point. Since these devices don’t have LED displays, preset programs, and lots of cooking purposes, they’re not quite as intuitive to the consumer as electronic devices. Digital controls: The vast majority of the air toaster ovens you see in this review come equipped with electronic controls. You would like to know the reason why? Since only then are they in a position to offer you all the characteristics that the gastronomic enjoys. Examples of these attributes include touch controls which permit you to bake, bake, air-toast, toast, and inhale, and an LCD screen using a control panel using more cooking purposes than you can utilize. Accessories At a minimum, all toaster ovens must include a minimum of one rack and a single broiling/baking pan. Air fryer toaster ovens normally incorporate an extra basket or stand for air frying. The baskets typically sit the baking/broiling pan and supply secure cooking at high temperatures in addition to simple maneuverability and cleanup. If the basket can’t match on the bowl, a bowl can ordinarily be set in the place beneath the air skillet; this fashion makes it harder to take the air skillet out of the air fryer toaster oven to test meals or eliminate without dripping dirt everywhere. Some air fryer toaster ovens give a choice to buy more air fryer racks (which may also be utilized for dehydrating in the majority of instances ) to use in precisely the exact same time, and a few include a rotisserie attachment. Ease of Use For an appliance that is so flexible, you will want to know you are getting the most from it. Each of the automated presets might be fantastic, but you do not wish the educational guide or configurations to be this complex; you will not need to cook whatever. Clean-up can be important also so that your removable racks and baskets must be dishwasher-safe. Heat Distribution When you settle in an air fryer toaster oven, then you may want it to have even heat distribution. There’s nothing worse than seeing your things get dim and overcooked about the borders of the shelf while the items from the center are still chilly. Pay careful attention to the detail and also watch for things that provide even heat distribution so that you can hopefully prevent this matter with your new apparatus. Conclusion The continuing global pandemic means everybody is spending more time in your home. What better way to utilize that time compared to expand your cooking thing while at precisely the exact same time enjoying healthy meals? Having an air fryer toaster oven , you are able to certainly do that. Air fryer toaster ovens can certainly allow you to prevent excess weight reduction and make healthy eating habits. They can also save you a good deal of cooking time, effort, and energy intake, providing you a better approach to boost your culinary experience. Thus, we’ve reviewed the best air fryer toaster oven that will assist you in discovering the best one for your needs.

Is the Acura NSX The Most Under-Appreciated Supercar? | HotCars

New Post has been published on https://coolcarsnews.com/is-the-acura-nsx-the-most-under-appreciated-supercar-hotcars/

Is the Acura NSX The Most Under-Appreciated Supercar? | HotCars

The Acura NSX was the first fairly affordable hybrid supercar. Having a 3. 5-liter twin-turbo V-6 along with three electric engines, it produces impressive functionality, but why isn’t the particular Acura NSX in the spotlight such as other hybrid supercars? Shmee150 uploaded an on his YouTube channel where he talked about this particular impressive hybrid supercar plus reminded people of its features.

[embed]https://youtube.com/watch?v=-LdwPYOqhpc&feature=oembed[/embed]

The Acura NSX was launched in 2016, utilizing the “human-centered supercar ” concept and it was considered to become a big leap in technologies. It was quite different from the existing front-wheel drive platform Acura versions and was created to better supercar performance, delivering a far more vivid, immediate and user-friendly dynamic experience with zero-delay velocity, braking, and handling. Almost everything was designed with the goal associated with making the car respond to each one of the driver’s input immediately and completely.

This amazing supercar combines a 3 or more. 5-liter, twin-turbocharged, hand-built, 75-degree, V6 with three engines, one for each front part and another sandwiched between the motor and 9-speed dual-clutch transmitting. They combine for a complete of 573 horsepower plus 476 lb-ft of torque, yet that doesn't tell the whole tale as launch control completely uses the torque through all those motors while the turbos spool up to support the particular zero-delay response. That is apparent in its 0 to 60mph in 3. 1 secs, from which it can go on to some top speed of 191 your. The car which weighs 3803 lbs and balances its weight with a designed-in 42 %/58% front/rear distribution.

It doesn't tell the whole story possibly, because those motors within the front operate independently and therefore in a curve, the outside steering wheel can over rotate as the inner wheel regenerates energy a bit to help the car turn into the turn. Acura virtually invented torque vectoring which is using it to the fullest capacity yet.

There is no frunk as the front is filled up with the two motors plus several warmth exchangers for various systems. Yet there is luggage space backward of the engine sufficient to get a weekend for two's really worth of luggage or a group of golf clubs, just not both. Basically thin A-pillars make presence even better. It can also reach 60mph in just 3. 1 mere seconds. The Acura NSX’s crucial also remembers the owner’s preferred car settings for that driver's seat, steering wheel, decorative mirrors, radio stations, and preset navigation areas.

The NSX has four basic generate modes – Quiet, Sports activity, Sport-Plus, and Track. The particular Acura NSX does not have the normal mode like numerous supercars, but the default road mode is Sport. Regardless of the name of this mode, it really is suitable for urban settings since the low-end torque of the electric powered motors pulls the NSX off the line quickly without having spinning the engine further than 3000 rpm.

The Quiet mode of the is electric-only at lower speeds, at higher rates of speed, the engine can be noticed running minimally, sounding regarding as loud as a Ford Odyssey minivan. The Sport-Plus mode of the Acura NSX allows the V6 to make use of its peak horsepower.

  The Acura NSX hasn't met the particular fame it probably should get for a couple of reasons. One is the particular lackluster infotainment system as well as a cockpit which isn’t since impressive as the car this controls with a steering wheel along with other switch gear recognizable from all other Acura models. Another reason the reason why we barely see the Acura NSX is because of the Acura brand, which simply isn't up right now there with Porsche, Aston Matn and others with which it can contend dynamically. Acura made reasonably pleasant sedans, crossovers, and then... this particular! There is nothing wrong with as being a halo car, but the halo should be at least within achieving distance of the body.

Avalon Bay Air Fryer Reviews – UNAVAILABLE Little Fellow!

The AvalonBay Air Fryer is a pretty lesser-known brand that’s not highly advertised, but it has been on the market for many years now and has constructed a good reputation from tons of positive user feedback.

This 3.3-quart capacity air-fryer will let you cook “fried” foods with no to very little oil, and with the accessories pack (sold separately now added), it could also be utilized for baking and roasting.

Bargain shoppers would be glad to know that this is one of the lowest-priced models on the market today. That is without the accessory pack. However, that really is not all that useful.

Users agree that frozen meals work best in the Avalon fryer (even better than Brentwood air fryer!), and a few also report many good results with fresh meals – experience and a great cookbook will help! We’ve covered complete information about this model below in our AvalonBay air fryer review.

Features of Avalon Bay Air Fryer Model:

CHECK PRICE ON AMAZON!!

NON-VEG DISHES 83% VEG DISHES 88% SNACKS 84%

Unlimited Cooking Options

With its great name, you would think that an air fryer is only for frying foods without any cooking oil. This is not the case with this AvalonBay Digital Air Fryer, though.

This model comes with a collection of different cooking modes, so you could also grill, bake, and roast as well. This pretty much makes the model pretty multi-functional, also banishing the worries of all those folks who do not really like a single-purpose air fryer in their kitchen.

You must expect that there would be a little bit of a learning curve to learn different cooking techniques perfectly with the device, though, as you will with any new kitchen appliance.

But practice, a reference to a cheat sheet that comes with this model, and a little bit of online research, you will surely get the hang of utilizing the air fryer for many purposes other than frying.

Rapid Air Circulation Technology

This is a different feature that permits the AvalonBay Digital Air Fryer to recreate the perfect fried texture without utilizing any oil. It only works by circulating the air at a very high-speed, therefore permitting the heat to pass through every side and part of the ingredient.

The heat’s quick movement ensures that each piece cooks thoroughly and then replicates the way a traditional oven or a stove cook your meals. It makes sure of quick Cooking, letting you serve a piping hot dish in just some minute.

CHECK PRICE ON AMAZON!!

Automatic Timer

Manufactured for your convenience, the air fryer needs a little involvement as it comes with an automatic timer, which will shut the model off once the meal is cooked.

Aside from the requirement to choose the temperature you require to cook your meal with, this model works similarly to a microwave oven as a countdown timer is something you require to bother with to make sure that you will get the right crisp and texture for the dish you are making.

This AvalonBay Air Fryer could cook up to thirty minutes, so you could be sure that you could use it for a huge collection of ingredients.

Nonstick Basket

As the AvalonBay Air Fryer looks nothing like your basic oven, you could also expect that it comes with its own food holder to utilize when cooking your meal.

If you are curious what it is, it is a nonstick basket where you place the ingredients in and also sticks inside the air fryer. It comes with a handle to make it much more maneuverable and includes a nonstick coating so food will not stick to it.

A nonstick basket would make your cleanups a breeze. As you will not have to scrub hard to loosen up the hardened and also burnt debris from a basket, you could enjoy using the kitchen device even more.

Fully Adjustable Temperature Control

Permitting you to cook unique food in several ways is the Airfryer100b’s temperature variability. You could easily choose the temperature you require for your dish, providing you full control in how you cook your food.

This model could go up to 400 degrees, so you could be sure that it could handle a wide array of foodstuffs.

(Just view the pics of “Avalon bay air fryer recipes” )

This will also teach you how much heat and also how long you are required to leave your ingredients in for the perfect taste and results.

PROS Very user-friendly Cooks really quick Affordable than any other model with these features and performance Could hold up to 3.2 liters of meal No more needing to use a paper towel just to soak up excess oil Can do more than just a fry Equipped with safety functions

CONS Some parts aren’t dishwasher safe

How to Utilize AvalonBay Air Fryer – Step by Step Operation

The AvalonBay Air Fryer is pretty simple to operate. Most of the operation is quite intuitive, but here are some basics:

Step 1

Pull the cooking pan out of the air fryer by using the handle. Place your meal inside the non-stick cooking basket into the pan and then just push the pan inside the device, ensuring you hold the pan by just the handle.

Step 2

You could then choose the preprogrammed cooking mode, which suits your food, by pressing M on the touchscreen and toggling through until you reach the required selection.

The default cooking cycle is fifteen minutes at 370ºF. If you wanna program your own custom cooking time and temperature, you could use the minus or plus keys above the temperature icon and the timer icon to select your desired temperature and time.

If you wanna change the cooking mode at this point, you could always press the M again and choose a unique preset cooking mode.

Step 3

When you‘re ready, you could push Begin to start the cooking cycle and then turn on the countdown timer. Besides that, the fanlights and heating element will blink while your food is getting cooked. Sometimes the heating element light would go off, notifying you that the element has cycled off to the controlled heat and also maintain a stable temperature within the device.

Step 4

While cooking, you might need to shake tinier food items (As an example, French fries) at the halfway point of cooking to make sure they are evenly cooked on each side. You could easily monitor this by configuring the timer back to the half cooking time.

When the timer notifies you, you could shake the food and then return it to the device and reset the device to half the time again. Ensure you detach the pan completely from the device to do the shaking. If you do not wanna shake the whole pan, you could easily pull out the wire basket and then just shake it.

Step 5

At the very end of the cooking operation, the timer bell will chime 5 times to notify you about finishing of the task. At this point, you could pull the whole cooking pan out of the device and then place it in a heat-resistant area. The fan would automatically shut off after twenty seconds, so do not worry about that.

Step 6

If you notice the meal isn’t cooked to your satisfaction, then simply return it to the device and set your timer for some more minutes at the desired temperature, and then check again.

While cooking, excess oil from your meal will gather in the bottom of the pan. So, please be careful when you are removing foods from the basket. Utilize non-metal tongs to pick up bigger items.

For tinier items, detach the wire mesh basket and then turn the meal into a bowl or onto any plate. Don’t pour the meal from the cooking pan or turn it upside down; that way, you might drip oils onto your meal.

AvalonBay Air Fryer Reviews – Some other useful tips:

BIG TIPS You could easily reheat meals in the AvalonBay Digital Air Fryer by configuring the temperature to 302ºF and the duration for ten minutes. To preheat your airfryer, you could set the timer for three minutes and press the start key. Then place the meal inside the cooking pan after the timer alarm sounds. You could even use your oven-safe baking items in the airfryer, including a small oven and baking tins dishes that fit into the fryer. You could bake directly in the given baking pan or utilize your own cake pan, which fits inside the fryer. It’s advised by the designer not to cook much excessively greasy foods just like bacon or sausage in the air fryer, though some customers report success with doing so.

How easy is it to clean AvalonBay Air Fryer?

The Avalon Digital Air Fryer 220 SS is pretty easy to clean.

It’s best to clean the air fryer as soon as possible after you have done your cooking. To clean the whole device, you must unplug the air fryer and then wait at least thirty minutes for it to get cool completely. Removing the pan must speed up this operation.

The outer part of the device can be cleaned with a soft cloth; however, don’t use abrasive cleaners that might scratch or etch your air fryer.

To clean the inner part of the fryer, tip it back and then use hot water and a fluffy sponge to remove any grease or debris. You could clean the heating element with a good moderately stiff cleaning brush so to get off any crusts on the food.

The non-stick metal mesh basket, cooking pan, and other detachable accessories could be placed in soapy, hot water and washed by hand manually.

They might also be placed inside the dishwasher as they’re completely dishwasher-safe. You might need to presoak cooking a pan in soapy, hot water if there’s built-up dirt stuck on the bottom side of the pan.

You must not use metal kitchen abrasives or utensils when utilizing or cleaning your air fryer. Don’t ever immerse the device (other than a pan, basket, and detachable accessories) inside water or let fluid get inside the air fryer. These could cause a shortage in any electrical component which operates your air fryer.

Let’s conclude AvalonBay Digital Air Fryer Reviews

FINAL WORD The AvalonBay Digital Air Fryer has a ton of comparable features of high functionality with its competitors. It appears to be more slightly tinier than most of the devices we have previously researched. This device seems best for couples, individuals, or tiny families.Its tinier size compared to its counterparts will make it ideal for those living in the apartment or traveling in RVs. It will probably not be the best option for meals for a huge family but might be suitable if your family is highly interested in making fast after-school snacks.That being said, the AvalonBay Digital Air Fryer is certainly a lot versatile and could do all the typical fried meals, but it could also grill, bake, cook fajitas, casseroles, or multiple tiny pizzas with the stacking tray. It utilizes varied and wide, and it stands up to the competition in ease of use and power.So if you’re finding a budget-priced air fryer that is on the smaller side however has all the functionality of the more expensive air fryers, the AvalonBay model will likely serve your all purposes.If you like the functions and look of this model, then in our Avalon Bay air fryer reviews, we’d recommend you, not to hesitate in tapping the Amazon check price button!

Visualize your conceptual designs in Lumion 8

It’s the early days of a new-build, high-end residential project and you want to share your designs with the client.

You’ve gone through a process of sketching on paper and modeling on the computer. You’re enthusiastic about the project’s strong, artful shape, but you’re unsure about the materials. Now is the time for feedback from your client, but what you need is a conceptual story rather than a photorealistic one. That’s the challenge.

Hand-sketching has traditionally played a role in this kind of conceptual communication, but when it comes to engaging your client with a clear representation of the project, it can help to consider making a few artistic, 3D renders.

With Lumion 8, you can ease the process of creating conceptual sketches by quickly rendering with the many artistic tools available.

By using the new Outlines effect in Lumion 8, you can instantly create a stylish B&W sketch, like with the WoodBox House above.

In this blog post, you'll explore several of Lumion’s concept rendering options that can help communicate your project while focusing on the specific details of your design.

Instant conceptual renders with the Styles button

Combinations of carefully-chosen effects can be added with a single click through the Styles preset button. This process eliminates the need to combine and tweak various effects, and by choosing the style you want, you can immediately produce a balanced and professional-looking image. 

The Lumion editor below shows a scene in Lumion 8 with the Watercolor Style selected.

On the left-hand side of the screenshot above, you can see that a number of effects have been combined to create the conceptual style you eventually see in the output.

Example of the Watercolor Style.

The other conceptual Styles preset is Color Sketch, which gives your render a more hand-drawn look as opposed to a painted look. You can apply the Color Sketch Style in literally seconds:

With this simple application, you can achieve an artistic result that serves as a powerful representation of your design concept.

Example of the Color Sketch Style. 

In seconds, the Styles preset transforms your model into a beautiful, captivating render, and due to the speed and ease of the Styles button, you can start pumping out dozens of renders in a single day.

Nevertheless, we know that many architects don’t want a cookie-cutter render. This is where the Styles preset truly shines as an architect’s conceptual tool. For instance, when applying the Color Sketch preset, you have a stack of pre-configured effects ready to be modified at a click-and-drag of your mouse.

To start, click on the effect and make the necessary modifications. In this instance, we used Color Correction to de-saturate the image:

After modifying a Style, you should notice a few changes to the interface, namely the color of the effect you modified.

Reversing the changes you made to a Styles effect is as simple as double-clicking the undo/remove button located immediately to the right of the effect. 

When you want to temporarily turn on/off an effect, click on the “eye” icon to enable/disable the effect.

Example of how to enable/disable effects.

Through the Styles button, you can instantly achieve an artistic-looking render, but you don’t have to solely produce cookie-cutter images and videos. 

Instead, you can create your own, unique style by using the pre-configured effect stack and making some quick, yet effective, modifications.

How to use the Outlines effect and Lumion’s other artistic options

After importing a basic model into Lumion, you’ll find an infinite number of ways to create a conceptual render. And that’s not an exaggeration.

You can start exploring Lumion’s wide range of artistic options simply by playing around with different effects, but the first you should learn is the Outlines effect. You can learn more about Outlines in the video below with expert Chris Welton.

Now that you know the Outlines effect, you can start combining it with different effects and styles for a truly remarkable result. Let’s go through some of these styles with a luxury residential home concept.

Photorealistic render. Although photorealism is a great way of showing your concept designs, you may be looking for a faster rending option. This is where the dreamy, artistic effects in Lumion can help you.

You can find the Outlines effect in the image and video modes. Simply click on the Fx button to add effects, and then choose the Sketch tab to find the Outlines effect.

By adding the Outlines effect to your render, you can instantly draw attention to the borders and the mass of the home.

Photorealistic render with the Outlines effect added.

Whether for photorealism or an artistic concept, the Outlines effect highlights borders and creates a distinction between spaces and structures. Let’s see how the Outlines effect plays with the other artistic options in Lumion.

Painting

The Painting effect simulates brush strokes on canvas for a more impressionistic feel.

Pastel Sketch

The Pastel Sketch effect provides smooth tones with soft colors and blurry outlines. Eight pastel presets are available.

Watercolor 

The Watercolor effect uses color bleeding to give an impressionist feel. Use this effect with the Outlines effect to make your building “pop” out of its colorful, attractive background.

Sketch

Simulate the hand-drawn look in seconds with the Sketch effect. Adding and removing color is extremely easy as well, giving you the choice between color and B&W rendering.

Manga

The Manga effect simulates the animation style popular in Japan. With this effect, you can make the colors “pop” and achieve a strong emphasis on straight lines and the form of your model.

Cartoon

The Cartoon option places your model in an animated world with softened colors and a clear distinction between spaces.

Oil Painting

Make your 3D render resemble a museum masterpiece with the Oil Painting effect. With this effect, brushstrokes are simulated to give the render an impressionist feel.

Blueprint

The Blueprint effect is one of the clearest concept rendering options as it shows the very basics of your design.

While options like Painting and Watercolor provide an impressionistic, artistic feel, the Outlines effect ensures that you (or your client) can easily understand the mass and the shape of the project. 

Breaking down a concept render

If your model is ready and imported into Lumion, the only remaining parts are landscaping, basic texturing and adding entourage. After going through these steps, you can really go trigger-happy pumping out concept render after concept render.

To give you a headstart in concept rendering, we’ll briefly take a look at how the following render was produced.

To start, we modified the Realistic Style and then added several effects. The complete effect arrangement looked like this:

Producing the style in the above image meant lowering the sun height to 0.057, turning down the temperature (0.6) and turning up the brightness (0.7) of Color Correction, and increasing the Depth of Field amount to 26.7.

In addition to adapting the Realistic Style settings, this concept render also required a few other settings, including:

Watercolor

Accuracy at 2.0

Radial accuracy at 2.0

Depth accuracy at 1.7

Outlines

Color variation at 2.0

Transparency at 1.8

Outline density at 1.6

Analog Color Lab

Style at 1.0

Amount at 0.7

Of course, many other effects were fine-tuned and tweaked to achieve the style of the watercolor render above, but with these three simple effects (Watercolor, Outlines and Analog Color Lab), you have the foundation for an interesting conceptual style.

From photorealism to your own signature style

In these early project phases, your goal may be to keep the discussion on the project’s function and the form. You need basic scaling and massing questions answered, and you know the in-depth design questions, such as those concerning materials, aren’t quite relevant yet.

This is where the Styles preset and the Outlines effect can really take your conceptual rendering to new heights. To learn more about these features and others, you can find hundreds of video tutorials on our Tutorials page.

And then you'll notice a prominent body line going around that cutting its way all the way to the rear taillights of the car. This has body-color door handles as well as body-color side mirror caps with the integrated LED turn signals in them. And the more gloss black trim finds its way all around the windows. And the overall side profile of the M4 has a very proportional and sporty look, I love all the sharp lines. The bulging fender arches in the front and the rear and in contrast against the red and the gray wheels have a really cool look. This M4 also features the carbon fiber roof that actually lowers the center of gravity of the vehicle by a few inches, has a really good look against the car, adding to the theme of performance and lightweight. And then making our way to the rear, this has oh le detail lights that have a nice look, a lot of cool contours in them. We have a carbon fiber lip spoiler to match the front splitter, the M4 CS badge, and then the backup camera is located in the center. We have four parking sensors in the rear and more carbon fiber on the lower diffuser, even with some fins in it. And then you get your chrome quad-tip dual exhaust system with the M logo laser etched into the top of it. And the whole rear end heists the design together to give the M4 a great look. So there's a good look at the overall exterior as well as some of the performance specifications on the BMW M4 CS. Interior Design This car has a lot of black leather and Alcantara all throughout it.

We also have black stitching on it, and then we have a strap right here to close the door with the BMW colors. We have your aluminum release hammer right here, and then your window controls as well as mirror and the power sunshade. You'll notice some lightweight designs for this door panel. We have an Alcantara armrest right here with a little bit of padding on it. And then this is a completely composite door panel, very cool to see on a car like this just for lighter weight and a more performance feeling. And we have the aluminum door sill with 2021 BMW M4 CS Coupe, this does feature power seats. All the controls are on the side, as well as the memory seat functions. And then on the seats, we have black leather along the sides with black Alcantara within the centers. And then you get the really cool design here. This actually cuts into the back of the seats, which is very nice to see. And then we have a perforated design in the center with a really nice look. You can see all the stitching and contours within the seat. Taking a look at the gauge cluster, we have the tach over on the right side as well as your temperature. Your speedometer on the left with your gas. And one thing very cool with the heads-up display if you hit the m1 button, it'll come upon the heads-up display with a performance looking tach. Going across the entire screen with your speedometer on that as well. And then going back into the normal mode that giant tech goes away.

2021 BMW M4 CS Coupe Interior On the left side of the steering wheel, we have cruise control settings as well as two different M mode preset buttons. We have all the voice commands and Bluetooth and audio control over on the right. This does have steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters, they have a really nice feeling to them, and they're quite large. And then the stock on the left side tapping the BC button that'll go through different trip information within the gauges. You can see your speedometer, the date and time, and then different trip information, as well as temperatures, and then your wipers are on the right side. Sitting back here, you actually have a ton of space, I do have the driver's seat set to my height 5 foot 11. and I have a few inches of knee room, which is very impressive, and my feet fit very nice and comfortably. That composite paneling continues in the rear, very nice to see that. You have the same Alcantara for the armrests. And for being a little bit of a stripped out version is the 2021 BMW M4 CS Coupe. This is a lighter way more design for the track. You still get a lot of really nice creature comforts black leather on the top here. And a huge window right here to make it actually pretty open sitting back here. The Headroom, my head is barely touching the ceilings and not too bad for a car like this.

What is Philips EP 1200 vs EP 2200 vs EP 3200 espresso machine

As known, coffee appeared in Europe in the first half of the 17th century and immediately gained immense popularity. Thus, today its history is almost 400 years old, and the coffeemaker has long been a mandatory attribute of most kitchens. Of course, the high competition level due to huge demand forced companies to constantly improve their models for several centuries. As a result, the modern market offers a huge range of great coffeemakers of various types from several hundred manufacturers.

The modern consumer market is usually characterized by a fairly stable, but short list of leaders. For example, today more than 600 companies are developing and producing phones. However, almost 80% of the world market belongs to ten major manufacturers, including South Korean Samsung (21% - Q3 2019 results) and LG (3%) giants, American Apple (12%), Finnish Nokia (1%) and Chinese Huawei (13%, including Honor), Xiaomi (9%), Oppo (9%), Vivo (8%), Lenovo (3%, including Motorola), Tecno (1%). The situation in the TVs segment is similar. For example, Samsung TVs, LG TVs or Sony TVs are constantly present in almost all top lists. Delonghi and Philips have a similar status in the coffee machine segment.

Introduction

But leader status requires companies to have a high innovative level, a flexible pricing strategy, impeccable quality of components and assembly, etc. The constant updating of a wide range in all price segments is one such condition. For example, in 2014 Samsung introduced 56 new smartphones, and LG - 41 new models. Of course, this strategy requires significant costs, but it's very effective as a competition tool. The coffee machine segment is fully consistent with this trend. For example, the Delonghi line up today includes the PrimaDonna, Dinamica, Magnifica and Autentica series, newest Maestosa (EPAM 960.75.GLM), and Nespresso CitiZ in the single-serve espresso coffeemakers segment. Moreover, some models of the DeLonghi Dinamica Series are the bestsellers among mid-budget automatic expresso models. But Philips does not lag behind its main competitor. As known, in 2009 company bought the famous Italian Saeco. Today it offers the Philips models in the budget and mid-budget segments, and a wide range of Saeco coffee machines. The Philips 1200, 2200 and 3200 are the latest series from this manufacturer based on the new platform.

Except for the colors, the list of differences includes the use of manual or automatic LatteGo cappuccino maker, some settings and the presence of the AquaClean filter. Strictly speaking, the new series can be positioned as an updated version of the Philips 2000/2100 Series. Of course, the new platform got rid of almost all the cons of its prototypes. In particular, the company increased the capacity of all containers, including for water - up to 1.8 liters, for coffee beans - up to 275 grams, for wasted coffee pucks – 15 portions. In addition, the company increased the drip tray size.

Lineup

1200 Series: – basic EP1000/00 (only in Europe) - without any frother at all, only espresso and lungo of different volumes.

- EP1220 with a manual panarello cappuccino maker, but without an AquaClean water filter.

2200 Series: - EP 2220 / 2221 / 2224 (glossy, matte, lighter) has an AquaClean filter.

- EP2030 / EP2035 / EP2231 with the LatteGo automatic cappuccino maker of a 250 ml has some beverage buttons, including espresso, coffee (cafe lungo), cappuccino and hot water.

Unfortunately, the model only offers the setting of the beverage total volume without setting the milk volume. 3200 Series: Flagship Philips EP3221 with manual cappuccino maker supports the largest selection of making black coffee, including espresso, coffee (cafe lungo), additional programming cell for long coffee, and americano (espresso + hot water).

Additionally, a separate adjustment on the panel provides a choice of one of three brewing temperatures at any time. Other models use the same temperature in all modes and can only change it when the device is turned off. EP3241 / EP3243 / EP3246 flagships have LatteGo automatic cappuccino maker and beverage buttons, including espresso, coffee (cafe lungo), americano, cappuccino, latte macchiato, and hot water.

Coffee/water volume adjustment

Of course, the choice of one of three volumes for any beverage claims to be one of the main improvements. This feature provides a volume selection for each recipe. But the coffee machine allows you to program only one of three volumes. The first two volumes for each drink are pre-installed at the factory. At the same time, the coffee machine remembers the last choice of strength / volume for each drink, offering them in the next cycle by default. Presets and adjustment range: - espresso: 35/50/80 ml. The last value varies from 40 to 230 ml. - coffee: 110/140/230 ml, (last value 40 - 230 ml); - Americano: (50 ml of coffee + 60 ml of water) / (50 ml of coffee + 130 ml of water) / (50 ml of coffee + 180 ml of water). Coffee ranges from 40 to 230 ml with a maximum total volume of up to 400 ml. But this mode has a peculiarity. The coffee machine can prepare two servings at the same time, pouring two espressos in a row. Then device adds a twofold volume of water. In addition, this mode supports single-cup making coffee; - Cappuccino: (60 ml of milk + 35 ml of coffee) / (100 ml of milk + 50 ml of coffee) / (200 ml of milk + 80 ml of coffee). Coffee - from 40 to 230 ml, milk - up to 340 ml; Latte macchiato: (120 ml of milk + 35 ml of coffee) / (230 ml of milk + 45 ml of coffee) / (340 ml of milk + 55 ml of coffee). Coffee - from 40 to 230 ml, milk - up to 340 ml; Hot water: 60/160/400 ml, adjustment range up to 400 ml.

Key Features

High performance 15-bar ULKA pump, the 1500 watt thermoblock and the ceramic grinder with flat burrs have not changed. But the new coffee grinder has 12 grind levels. Unlike the previous series, the new platform supports three levels of strength setting from 7 to 11 grams of grains. The new platform does not support Milk Clean mode (separately foamed milk). LatteGo is also a significant improvement to the new platform. As known, the company first introduced the new two halves milk frother called LatteGo in the Philips Series 5000 on the IFA 2018 in Berlin. Technically, it works like any cappuccino maker or outlet pipe. But the developers significantly improved its design by hiding in the side wall the channels for supplying steam and milk suction from the bottom. In fact, the entire dairy system consists of a jug, which is easily divided into two parts.

As a result, it's very easily removed, disassembled and washed under running water. But its capacity of 250 ml is convenient for making only 1-2 cups of cappuccino / latte per day. With large volumes, a traditional full-sized jug in the refrigerator is more convenient. In addition, unlike traditional jugs, LatteGo does not limit the addition of various cocoa blends or syrups to milk for raf-coffee. Subsequently, its grooves are easily cleaned with an ordinary cotton swab.

Conclusion

PROS - traditionally very high quality of materials and assembly; - a wide range of adjustments.

- LatteGo; - setting the volume of coffee / water / milk; - very good sensitivity of the touch buttons; - platform for cups; - AquaClean filter; - wide bunker is convenient for filling beans; - models of the new platform are very easy to disassemble; - Aroma Extract system; - ceramic coffee grinder with 10 grind levels; - double espresso for americano. CONS - no Milk Clean mode (separately foamed milk); - LatteGo noise level reaches 60 dB. Of course, the company managed to create a very successful new platform for their coffee machines. EP 1200/2200/3200 models cover almost the entire average price segment from $ 550 to $ 800. High quality at an affordable price provides them with a successful competition even with the very popular DeLonghi Dinamica Series. This video review demonstrates the Philips 3200 Espresso with LatteGo. Read the full article

Unfiltered Audio advances audio processing possibilities with world’s most advanced multi-band plugin Triad

Unfiltered Audio advances audio processing possibilities with world’s most advanced multi-band plugin Triad

Plugin Alliance, supporting all major plugin formats and uniting some of the best-known international audio companies under one virtual roof, is proud to announce availability of TRIAD — the latest creation from fellow Californian company and plugin-creating partner Unfiltered Audio, advancing the successful outcome of last year’s award-winning BYOME (Build Your Own Modular Effect) breakthrough by combining state-of-the-art processing, versatile modulation, and dozens of powerful effects with a limitless multi-band workflow as the world’s most advanced multi-band processing plugin — as of June 10…

Some say that good things come in threes. TRIAD literally lives up to that saying — in name and nature. Why? Well, with an ability to split an audio signal into three bands and apply BYOME effects — themselves tapping into Unfiltered Audio’s abundant MOD (modulation) control choices via virtual cables (conceptually similar to establishing all the connections between the separate modules on a modular synth system with patch cables to generate tones and sound effects) — to each band individually, this three-pronged approach to multi-band processing par excellence easily has what it takes to stand out from the sound of the crowd.

TRIAD truly advances the phenomenal possibilities of its single-band BYOME predecessor by bringing a new level of control to the myriad of onboard effects. Essentially, then, it is a three-band frequency splitter capable of processing the LOW, MID, and HIGH frequency bands with different effect rows, consisting of 40 effect cells arranged into eight categories; each effect cell can be expanded and added to. These range from multi-band compression to frequency-dependent reverb, complex distortions to intricate delays, plus pitch shifting and an array of modulation-based effects — all of this and much more besides are a breeze to set up and control.

Readily refrain from using any of the effects — easier said than done, admittedly — and TRIAD can be used as a ‘flat-sum’ frequency splitter with adjustable cutoff points, guided by a first-rate FFS (Fast Fourier Transform) visualiser that displays the signal and allows for precise control over the band amplitudes and cutoffs on the fly. Furthermore, the DYNAMIC SPECTRAL SNAP feature allows automatic frequency cutoff balancing — an industry first, while well-crafted tools like Auto Cutoff and Unity Gain will keep the frequency distribution balanced between the bands, or even adjust the amplitude ratio without any overall volume change. Critical listening required? Simply solo or mute any of the individual bands with one click.

Changing the frequency splitting into a number of other multi-band processors — namely, 2-Band, 3x Parallel, 2x Parallel, Mid-Side, and Left-Right — maximises effect routing possibilities. Many modes have a flexible Pre/Post row that can quickly swap positions from the start of the chain to the end, turning the tables on patches for facilitating speedy sound design workflows. With that thought in mind, TRIAD features a unique Permutation engine that rotates the function of each active band. Put it this way: what, for instance, if a user had an amazing delay set up on the MID frequency band, but would rather hear it instead applied to the HIGH frequency band? Then their wish becomes TRIAD’s command by clicking on the Permutation arrows to hear it exactly as they wanted — without destroying the rest of their preset.

Presets fit for Unfiltered Audio’s latest and greatest creation have been carefully crafted by acclaimed artists and world-class sound designers to showcase its individualistic capabilities, covering functional frequency splitting to putting it through its innovative paces as the most advanced multi- band processing plugin around.

Whatever way anyone chooses to use TRIAD, variable slope allows them to change from smooth band transitions to razor sharp cut-offs (12dB to 72dB per octave). And since most DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations) include individual low/mid/high band outputs, TRIAD can even be used as a fully-routable splitter for use with any other plugin!

TRIAD takes Unfiltered Audio’s Build Your Own Modular Effect technology to new heights, combining state-of-the-art processing, versatile modulation, dozens of powerful effects, and a limitless multi-band workflow with all the power of BYONE — but now in three dimensions. Discerning sound designers and artists alike should seriously consider checking out TRIAD today, travelling to sonic vistas that they have hitherto heard only in their dreams.

Dreams have long since become reality for one of Belgium’s longest-standing techno artists and producers; progressing to become something of a tastemaker in today’s far-reaching world of techno, Tom Hades has already embarked on his TRIAD travels and likes what he has heard: “I really like the way you can create variations and modulations over the spectrum.”

Unfiltered Audio’s TRIAD is available for purchase — as an AAX Native-, AU-, VST2-, and VST3-supporting audio effect processing plugin for MacOS (10.9 through 10.14) and Windows (7 through 10) — exclusively from distribution partner Plugin Alliance for an introductory price of $149.00 USD until June 24, rising to $299.00 USD thereafter — from here: https://www.plugin-alliance.com/en/products/unfiltered_audio_triad.html

From June 8 onwards, a fully-functional, 14-day trial is available to anyone registering for a free Plugin Alliance account here: http://www.plugin-alliance.com/en/registration.html

Note that the proprietary Plugin Alliance Installation Manager means users can select, download, and install only the products and formats needed for their system.

How to Really Use an Instant Pot and Other Multi-Cookers

[Photographs: Vicky Wasik, unless otherwise noted]

The Instant Pot's ascendance has been so sudden, so swift, so far-reaching, and so utterly dominating that it's hard to think of another kitchen product in recent history that has so thoroughly cornered the market.

Before the Instant Pot, when I tried to convince people that a pressure cooker was worth buying, their eyes would glaze over. After the Instant Pot's explosive rise, nearly everyone owns a pressure cooker, even if half of them don't seem to realize it.

And that, really, speaks to the power of the Instant Pot. People own them, people love them, and people often have no idea what they even are. So let's set this straight: Instant Pot is a brand name of a multi-cooker, and a multi-cooker is basically an electric pressure cooker with a few bells and whistles thrown in for good measure.

If you own an Instant Pot, what you really own is a multi-cooker. If you don't own an Instant Pot, but have been debating whether or not to pick one up, it's worth noting that there are many other multi-cooker brands on the market, some of which are worth considering (see below for our top picks). A multi-cooker usually includes a base unit where the control panel and heating element live; an insert which holds the food itself and can be removed for easy cleaning; a lid with a gasket and valve for pressure cooking; and various accessories like measuring cups and a steaming basket (depending on the model).

As the name implies, what's most appealing about a multi-cooker is the range of cooking options it offers. It steams! It sears! It simmers! It cooks beans! It cooks rice! It cooks stews! It cooks chili! It makes yogurt! It's a pressure cooker! It's a slow-cooker! It can make my bed and clean my toilet and rub my feet and sanitize my dentures! All! In! One!

Do you know how we know it can do all those things? Because it has buttons on the front that tell us so!*

* Okay, I lied, it won't sanitize your dentures. But man does a multi-cooker make a mean bed.

Let's cut through this noise. A multi-cooker is really just a couple things, plus a whole lot of preset modes. A multi-cooker is, in the simplest sense, an electric pot; its lid has a gasket that can seal the pot shut to trap steam and build pressure, and the cooker has sensors in it to automatically control heat and pressure as needed.

Given this, a multi-cooker is really just:

A pressure cooker. This is its primary function; not only is there usually a manual pressure-cooking option (all of our recommended cookers offer one), but most of the specialized modes on a multi-cooker (rice, beans, stews, chili, etc.) are also just pressure-cooking modes with preset times and pressure levels.

An electric pot: When the lid isn't sealed, the multi-cooker can work like any pot, whether you use it to steam foods or sear them before stewing or braising.

A slow-cooker: The multi-cooker can hold its contents at a low enough heat that it also doubles as a slow-cooker. There is rarely a reason to use this function, as I'll explain below.

A yogurt-maker: Similar to the slow-cooker mode, the multi-cooker's ability to hold very low temperates means it can also be used to incubate yogurt.

We've reviewed pressure cookers before—both stovetop models that are strictly pressure cookers, and multi-cookers, which are primarily pressure cookers that can also perform some other tasks. You can read our entire review here, but the quick answer is that our top pick is the Breville Fast Slow Pro, while our favorite budget pick is the Instant Pot Duo60.

Multi-cookers like the Instant Pot are great at making chicken stock, just as all pressure cookers are.

So, now that we've roughly defined what an Instant Pot and other multi-cookers really are, and which are our favorites, let's briefly go over what they're truly good for, and which features you should just forget.

Pressure Cooking and Preset Pressure-Cooking Programs (Rice, Stew, Stock, Soup, Etc.)

By far the most important feature of a multi-cooker is its ability to function as a pressure cooker. Frankly, if everyone would stop calling these things "Instant Pots" and start calling them "electric pressure cookers," there'd be a whole lot less confusion about what this device is really all about.

A pressure cooker is able to drastically reduce the cooking times of many long-cooking foods by raising the internal pressure of the chamber; as the pressure rises, so does the boiling point of the water inside. At sea level, water boils at 212°F (100°C), and it will not exceed that temperature until there's little to no available water left. By raising the pressure, the water temperature can slide higher, going upwards of around 250°F (120°C); at elevated temperatures, tough meats melt and tenderize and beans cook through in a fraction of the time. Braises that would have taken two, three, or four hours are done in thirty minutes to an hour. Beans, which can take anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours on the stovetop, can be done in ten to twenty minutes in a pressure cooker. It's an incredibly powerful tool with jaw-dropping results. You can literally get home from work and have a stew on the dinner table in an hour from start to finish, something that is otherwise impossible with more conventional cooking methods.

Most of the settings on a multi-cooker are really just pressure-cooker presets: bean mode, rice mode, chili mode, stew mode, soup mode, poultry mode, meat mode, risotto mode, stock mode, and multigrain mode, for example. They can be helpful, but they can also be maddening.

If you're totally new to pressure cooking and are not following a trusted recipe, the presets are useful in that they can give you some shot at getting results that are good, or at least put you in the ballpark. But those settings are just as often confounding because there are enough variables to render them useless.

Just look at Instant Pot's web page on cooking rice using the rice mode. The promise sounds great: Use this device for perfect rice every time. Rice mode can supposedly detect moisture levels and then make realtime adjustments to the heat and pressure levels accordingly.

But the reality is a little different. Read the article and it becomes clear that the preset is only designed to work with basic white rice, and that several other types of rice will require a manual setting. And that doesn't include factoring in your elevation if you live well above sea level, the type of water you use, personal preferences on doneness, and more. Unless you only eat one type of rice and just happen to like it exactly as the Instant Pot preset produces it, you'll soon be overriding the preset and using a manual setting instead.

This is true of all the other preset pressure-cooking modes as well. Variations in recipes, in ingredients, in local conditions, and in your desired results will all play into the time, pressure, and temperature levels you choose; often the recipe itself will be the best guide for what settings to choose. Plus, if you set those parameters manually, you'll have a better understanding of what works and what doesn't, which is far better than not understanding why a preset mode didn't produce the results you wanted.

Beyond variations in specific recipes, multi-cookers themselves are also varied from one to the next. There's no overarching standard that ensures that "high pressure" mode on one cooker is the same as "high pressure" mode on another (although those should hopefully be close, somewhere in the 12 to 15psi range). There's also no standard that ensures one machine's meat mode is the same as another's. Ditto all the other preset modes.

Cooking dried beans using the pressure-cooking mode of a multi-cooker produces excellent results in a fraction of the time.

What this means is that if you live and die by the presets, you only really know how to cook with the specific model of multi-cooker you've grown familiar with. Buy a new multi-cooker one day and you'll have to re-learn its preset quirks all over again. But by using the manual mode, you're more clued into what pressures and times the cooker is actually using, parameters that are more consistent across models and brands. That makes you a more informed cook, and a more informed cook will have a better track record for success.

But this doesn't mean that the special pressure-cooking modes do nothing. According to Instant Pot, for example, the cooker uses sensors to manage heat, pressure, and temperature.

Steaming mode, for instance, lets the heating element rip full blast, since there's no risk of scorching the water on the bottom of the pot (foods being steamed should be held aloft in a steamer basket). For modes that cook thicker dishes like chili and porridge, the cooker reduces the intensity of the heating element to reduce the risk of foods burning on the bottom.

It's a nice feature if near-total hands-off cooking is most important to you. But you can also avoid burning your food just as easily by bringing the contents of the cooker to a boil with the lid off, stirring frequently to keep the food from sticking to the bottom; once at a boil, put the lid on and allow the cooker to finish coming up to pressure. Once at pressure, it doesn't take a lot of additional heat to keep it there. This is how you prevent scorching in a stovetop pressure cooker, and it works fine.

Steaming

This is one of those modes that works well, but isn't all that useful unless you're short on pots and stovetop space. In steaming mode, you simply add some water to the multi-cooker insert, add a steaming rack of some sort (included or not, depending on the multi-cooker model), and then turn the machine on. Set to steaming mode, it will crank the heat of the heating element to full-blast, working to get the water boiling as quickly and relentlessly as possible, producing enough steam to cook whatever it is you're cooking. The lid can go on to contain the steam, but it won't lock (locking would fully trap the steam, leading to pressure cooking).

There's no reason not to use this setting, except that you can just as easily steam foods in a pot or wok set over a stovetop burner. Unlike the pressure-cooking mode, which offers dramatic performance differences compared to traditional stovetop methods, the steaming mode on a multi-cooker is just like any other steaming setup.

Searing

Searing meat in a multi-cooker works, but not as well as in a traditional stovetop pressure cooker.

Many braise and stew recipes call for browning meats and aromatics before adding the liquid, since browning develops a layer of flavor that can transform whatever you're cooking from good to great. This makes the searing mode in a multi-cooker very important, but it has its limitations.

In my experience, a multi-cooker doesn't sear nearly as well as a Dutch oven or stainless steel pot set over a stovetop burner. Multi-cooker inserts tend to be tall and narrow, with a small footprint for the bottom of the pot, and the heating element only gets so hot. This can be a problematic combination, making the multi-cooker prone to overcrowding and thus steaming, when you want to be searing and browning.

You can make it work by searing ingredients in very small batches, and by waiting longer for trapped moisture to cook off and true searing to begin, but it's certainly not the strong point of any multi-cooker I've ever used. It's fine for making a stew or braise from start to finish all in the same multi-cooker pot, but I'd never use a multi-cooker to sear foods that don't otherwise require being in the multi-cooker.

Slow-Cooking (With Major Reservations)

A: stock cooked in a spring-valve stovetop pressure cooker; B: stock cooked in a multi-cooker like the Instant Pot; C: stock cooked in an older stovetop pressure cooker with a jiggler; D: stock cooked on the stovetop in a Dutch oven; E: stock cooked in a slow cooker.

This is one of the other top selling points of the multi-cooker: It's a slow-cooker, too! But as any cook worth their salt knows, a slow cooker isn't really worth its salt. Yes, they can be left unattended for hours and even days with relatively little risk, but with their low cooking temperatures, the food they produce is never as good as dishes produced by more traditional stewing and braising methods. Nor are a slow-cooker's results as good as those achieved in a pressure-cooker, which can produce a better version of the same dish in a tiny fraction of the time. For a more thorough discussion of how slow cookers compare to pressure cookers, read our article here.

There's really no contest. In almost all instances, you should be using the pressure cooker mode, not the slow-cooker mode.

Yogurt

Similar to the way a multi-cooker uses low heat for the slow-cooker mode, it can use even lower heat to incubate yogurt. Many models will scald the milk first (a common first step in yogurt making) and then switch over to incubation mode.

Does it work?

Yes, indeed it does. Though it's not as hands-off as multi-cooker manufacturers make it seem. You still need to monitor the temperature of the milk with a separate instant-read thermometer, especially when the milk is cooling, since you can kill your starter and ruin your batch if you add it to milk that's too hot. This is once again one of those situations where the multi-cooker works, but it doesn't save you much effort compared to scalding the milk on the stovetop.

As for incubating the yogurt, which requires holding the temperature somewhere around 110 to 115°F, the Instant Pot I tested recently seemed to do a serviceable job, in that the yogurt successfully set (a sign that the milk never overheated during the incubation phase). I wasn't able to monitor the temperature of the milk the entire time, so I'm not quite sure just how much it may have fluctuated, but it clearly didn't fluctuate too much given the results.

What I do know from my initial yogurt testing is that the Instant Pot I tried produced my least favorite yogurt of the bunch—the yogurt was set, but it seemed fragile and it separated into curds and whey easily. It also had a strange metallic flavor, which I haven't yet been able to explain.

It's possible that, with more testing and tweaking, I can find my way to better yogurt results with the Instant Pot or another multi-cooker, but I also know from my testing that there are other methods that work very well, including using an immersion circulator or just going the old-fashioned route of leaving the yogurt in an oven overnight with the oven light turned on.

So, do you need an Instant Pot or other multi-cooker? If you don't own a pressure cooker already, then yes, there's a strong argument to be made for it, because I think all cooks will find a pressure cooker to be a very useful addition to their lives. And if you're often short on stovetop space, having a stand-alone unit can be incredibly useful. If you have no interest in pressure cooking, though? Skip it, because that's all a multi-cooker really is.
