  <span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">I've used induction in a few places, particularly friends' homes, but basically, most of my experience is with the induction equipment I have at home, which are a Max Burton portable burner and a free-standing Electrolux range. </span>   <span...

<span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">OK, let's introduce a few things that, for decades, we never heard people talk about because the "industry" likes to make a profit.</span> <span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;"> </span> <span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">First...

<span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">Sean (Maytag85):</span>   <span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">One should always check to see if the gas stove/oven/range one is buying will in fact even work during a power failure. Rumor some years ago was that there were high-end...

Flash/Continous Glucose Monitors Rich (Sudsmaster) asked about sensors you stick to your arms. There are two kinds, continuous glucose monitors, which will even send alerts when your glucose level is too high or too low, and flash monitors, which require you to actually scan the sensor to get...

Lawrence, I'm sorry to hear about your covid -- here's hoping things improve as fast and as easily as they can.

Honestly, the builder put a much simpler OTR microwave in the home we bought. I couldn't wait to rip it out -- I can't remember if it was one or two years, and I removed it and gave it to someone who was desperate to have one. I just put hood in its place -- it's quieter, it actually vents...

I would look at the range in question and decide from there. If it's an induction range bought recently, it's very likely it will take advantage of the 50A just fine, I know that if I turn on everything on mine, it pulls more than 40A (if I remember right, it's rated 12.5kW). Older coil or...

Well, take a look at the requirements for your locality. Around here, my electric range came already installed with a 240V / 50A breaker and outlet. I can't remember how much power my previous range (a rather simple one, Calrod coil burners) used, but my current induction range apparently...

Honestly, people who complain about softened water feeling slimy crack me up so hard. I grew up and lived in areas with natural soft water my entire life. Just like Greg and Glen mention above, areas with hard water make me feel like I can't remove the dirt from my hair and skin. Soft water...
