I looked for it online. Saw on eBay only. Don't want to bid. Where
elae can I find that brand?
Have you ever roasted peanuts with it? What if I sprinkle a little
oil (to peanuts) before toadting? Wold it damage the unit?
BTW, do you think I'd also be able to toast things like a little Daal
peas (yellow split peas), Lima beans. Both soaked in water first. If I
can toast these peanuts, dalla pas, and lima beans (split half ones. I
can use them in Burmese style ginger or pickled tea leaf salad.

My sister-in-law just got back from oversea and brought me some
pickled tea leaves salad stuff but I am afraid to eat it - afraid of
the oil used in those roasetd peas - especially since my throat is
irritated and I feel I am coming down with something.
