I have been using a low voltage version, DC rather than AC, for years.  No need to cover it, I just toss it in the wash.  I love it and would not be with out it.

Speaking of rust on SS - how do you deal with it?  I picked up a SS SxS Samsung (say that 3 time fast...) a few years back.  Bought it as a backup in case my 22/yo WP SxS bites it. Been in the garage as overflow for years and is developing rust.   What is a good method to deal with this, It...

Picked up a 12lb turkey at Meijers, $0.33/lb. I'll make my dinner this week, going to a cousin's on Thanksgiving.  Expect about 20 there, I'm by myself  but miss having my traditional dishes so I make them. Will freeze half for later and make turkey soup too!

Everything old is new again Neat old fridge, also pretty pricey for the time.   Door in the door fridges  made a reappearance a few years ago.  I have a Samsung SxS with that feature and it's handy.

John, yes I have the large flat filter. I think a few times it wasn't seated properly, it can be a bit finicky in it's placement. At this point I have the wash arms clear of debris using a straight pin and needle nose pliers.    Part of the issue may be due to a drain backup. Found a large...

I have a 5 or 6 year old KA DW (where does the time go...) and noticed a few dishes placed in the corners were not as clean as they had been.Found that the end holes in the arm were plugged with gunk. Tried various methods to clear them - needle nose pliers, pins, blowing it out but none were...

Put me in the opposite camp... As a rule, with a few exemptions,  is if it can't go in the DW I don't want it in my kitchen.   For stuff  I have to hand wash I fill the left sink bowl with hot water and lots of Dawn ultra. As stuff is washed it goes in the right bowl, when full it get rinsed...

Well being gas I would suppose the lower "oven" is actually the broiler. Just like with a gas range.

Well worn cookware is a sign of a well used kitchen and good meals.

It sounds like you thought this  through thoroughly.  I have no idea if your vehicle uses resistive or  a heat pump for heat but you might  want to factor that in your range estimate in the winter.   I have a Volt, a cousin has a Bolt, and we are both fairly satisfied.  There are drawbacks to...

Glass milk bottles are still around.  Some of my cousins are on a wait list for raw milk and at the moment they get non homogenized milk in glass bottles.  I have no idea why they want to take a chance with raw milk with 3 kids under 5, but whatever.

My mother did the Tupperware thing in the '60s&'70s, still have a lot stored in a basement closet.  Never use plastic for storage anymore, have a set of Corning-ware grab-its been using for decades.

Batch of tomatoes from last year.  We've never seeded them, my cousin seeds them but I think you loose too much, volume and flavor.

Interesting property. Not a bad price but in need of moderate to substantial updates for today's market.

Eddie, brings back memories, growing up we had a fruit cellar in the basement. It was a moderate sized room under the front porch that kept a cooler temp than the rest of the basement.  One wall was lined with shelves top to bottom with all the canned goods. Fruit, jam, pickles, peppers and of...

I have a few older appliances I use, a Singer Rocketere sewing machine and a Sunbeam waffle iron, that have non polarized plugs. If I don't plug it in properly when I run my hand over the metal portions I feel a slight charge. I've put a bit of red duct tape on the side that is live, problem solved.

John, I agree pressure is the way to go but the cost is substantial.   When I can tomatoes I generally do 18-20 quarts. I have 2 open kettles that hold 7 quarts  each, I process quarts for 45 minutes after boiling starts,  so a little over an hour to process 14 qts.  Can't justify spending...

Got to agree with everyone,  terrible idea.   I've canned for decades, 99% were tomatoes, rest were pickles and such.  I open kettle can tomatoes but I add citric or ascorbic acid now, years ago tomatoes were more acidic and it was not needed. Pure tomatoes are the ONLY thing I'd open kettle...

Local stores have doors on everything - frozen, dairy and even  bagged produce.  Some even have doors on meat. All have motion lights.  i don't mind it, but has to make stocking more difficult.

Simple solution just block.  I have and 95% of the crap that irritated me is gone. Don't even see threads started by blocked  people.
