Resurrecting an old thread Since I wrote the original post on this thread, we purchased a used black KitchenAid ceramic cooktop. It works well, and my husband likes it. I thought I was going to have room in the country house for both a stainless Thermador coil cooktop and a Corning cooktop...

Rhubarb Just isn't part of Southern culture. Most of us have never seen one! As for what kind of things--pots, pans, deep wells, kitchen drainboards (I have an aluminum one)... I've put a few things in a vinegar soak. I've also read about commercial preparations designed for cleaning pontoon...

Tide and clorox Are you sure your grandmother's washing machine drained into the septic system? I'm pretty sure my grandmother's drained into a field line. Her house was built in '38. The tank was cleaned out in the mid seventies and again in 2010. It didn't need it in 2010, but we didn't know...

Spewing My repro also spewed all over the counter. I'd forgotten that part. I loved the look and the heft, but got rid of it pretty shortly because it didn't work well. I am a form and function girl, never form over function. Sarah

I've read the disposal posts, and I think I've narrowed my choice down to ISE Evolution XTR or ISE Septic Assist. The septic assist has a solution called bio-charge that's supposed to break down fats, grease, protein and starches. I've always been taught that fats and grease just shouldn't go...

Avoid the repro I had a reproduction one, and it was impossible to get the grind I needed. The setting dial appears to have a wide range of options, but it still didn't have the control I was looking for in a burr grinder. I resold it. Now, I buy Cafe Bustello espresso grind. It makes good...

Mothers... I love Mother's, but it takes a long time, punishing amount of elbow grease and a fair amount of product to take a very oxidized piece of aluminum back to a shine. Been there, done that. I'm looking for a solution that will cut time and effort on the front end. I'm happy to polish to...

Off topic sort of I run the self cleaning cycle in my P7 with the racks in and usually have some Corning or other cookware in for a good cleaning. Will the sky fall?

No, not oven cleaner! In addition to pitting the aluminum, it can discolor it. Do you have a self cleaning oven you can clean your griddle in? I'm going to have a Frigidaire Custom Imperial double oven in the kitchen, but I'm planning to put a single GE P7 in the workshop for both overflow...

Choices, choices ISE Evolution XTR vs ISE Septic Assist The septic assist has a solution called bio-charge that's supposed to break down fats, grease, protein and starches. I've always been taught that fats and grease just shouldn't go down the drain, so is this a valuable feature? Also...

Hi everyone, What's the best way to clean and deoxidize aluminum? I've spent a lot of elbow grease polishing, but I've been searching the web and see diy instructions for cleaning with acids and commercial cleaners. Thoughts? I would love something that can be prepared in a bucket for dipping...

Cool THat is really gorgeous. What's with all of the vertical space above the dryer door?

JOKE? But given the ads I see, maybe not. My most recent favorite is "vintage Bulova travel clock. Works but I can't see the hands move." Sarah

Acetylene Bruce's great-grandparent's home has been continuously occupied by the family since the turn of the 20th century. At one time, it had acetylene lights, and there is still an out building--now used for storage--called the light house because that's where the acetylene was kept. Sarah

Great! Thanks for sharing! I thoroughly enjoyed it.

A little confused Are you offering it free for shipping after you remove the dial and switch? Sarah

Perfect For that price, it would have to be beyond perfect. I have close to 2K in mine, but most of that is in the paint job.

How much? The listing is already down. How much was the seller asking?

cool I saw it in person at the estate sale. It's listed here at a lower price because it didn't sell Saturday or Sunday. Pretty cool fridge. Sarah

Got them! I picked them up last Saturday. The couple that bought the house is doing a lot of renovating. The took us through the house, and it's spectacular. It was a perfect time capsule house when they bought it. They are keeping some of the mid-century features while making it fit their...
