Insinkerator Evolution Excel or LC 50 Yes the LC 50 would be my other choice especially if you would be feeding it large beef, pork or lamb bones on a regular basis but as it is almost twice the price the Excel's quiet operation, extra fine grind with it's undercutters and long in home warranty...

Cumin Hi John, thanks for the explanation, sorry, I have a pack of, forgive me, pre-ground cumin and dry chick peas and lentils so I will have to try this. Here jalapenos and sometimes serrano fresh peppers are in the supermarkets but for other varieties we have to go to the more ethnic stores...

cans and knives Well Kevin I cringed too while calling out your name, we can all learn something from one another, I would use a tablespoon but your tip of using kitchen shears in the can to cut up the orange and pear slices, pure genius! No fuss and even better, no mess. I hope I remember to...

Bean Dips Well guys, I would appreciate the recipes and johnrk, just what is comino? Thank you

New LG DW Wow Mike, you certainly can't complain about the great price you got at Sears for your new DW. The exterior styling looks very appealing to me-sleek. Quite a sophisticated wash system, and drying. Cheers.

LG DW? I would be very leery of an LG dishwasher. Friend had one in condo they bought, he repaired it 3 times before tossing it. Then the house they bought came with all LG kitchen, same recurring breakdown happened with this one, knowing the problem he repaired it once, then it broke down...

Woodgrain or Wood Your posting got me thinking about the late 60's Canadian made by Hupp Corp. Gibson fridge my family had when I was a teen. It had a real wood insert-walnut I am quite certain,roughly 1/2 inch thick. It always seemed a little bit classy! Well, the handle at least! If your...

Color/less accuracy Less info in print johnrk, Launderess et al, you are so right! I had the same thought re more colourful pages and less information, less logic and more agenda focus, ie cold water washing. And just where are the rinse efficiency tests? I want all the test results for all...

Push in style wiring connection-not very secure Yes not good, my 1983 house had an outdoor under eave Christmas plug that stopped working some years ago, one of the push in wires had come out, the screw conection was there, I guess the electrician thought well it is there, quick and easy, why...

oily streaks on new sheets My guess is this is oil/grease residue from the manufacturer, and the laundering and drying has highlighted this. I have experienced this on sheets made in India. Are these made in other than North America/Europe? Maybe try one wash/treatment to remove oil but may be...

GE Innovations Wow! Wow! Very nice. 5 shelves, 3 swivel out, door pedal, 2 flip down/up bottle racks. Is the only innovation today cheapening products and occasionally bringing back one or two features from the past?

Panthera-Bierschaum test First Google hits re Bierschaum test I found were measuring the head on a beer pour-not knowing German I don't know the reason. How does this test relate to inadequate rinsing dishwashers? And yes, I want at least 2 full clean water rinses. Interestingly I have an...

WasteKing,Anaheim Mfg.& Flying Metal Bits Well Anaheim saved some money-some scrap metal, lots of rust, the odd bit of aluminum or car battery and someone is surprised? Oh and just what does heat treatment translate to in China, or not? Whether the Golden Oval as I call it was on these items...

Dangers in washing Cargo shorts Several years ago, and in my defence cell phones tended to be smaller, and after checking FOUR pockets,I washed Cargo shorts as well as my phone. Unfortunately those two lower side pockets, making a total of SIX, which so conveniently held a cell phone and...

8 kg BEKO Looks like a very interesting fully featured machine, long hygiene cycle at 20* but still able to select a 90*C. cycle. Inner basket looks good.How durable are BEKO machines?

Canadian made Potscrubbers Wow Kevin, thanks for your very in depth informative review. A great trip down memory lane, the snap of the drain solenoid, the aerated china/crystal cycle, upfront square cutlery basket, and the early introduction of the slant front control panels with rounded corner...

Wall mounted exhaust fan Great big exhaust fan right above control panel, I'm sure that would take care of any cooking smoke and grease.

Fan o fans and Stan Yes home made pancakes-who can say no, they just taste better, and yes a great looking stove, I have always liked the thin turquoise and chrome accent lines Hotpoint and even GE used in Canada in the 80's and 90's on DW's and fridges as well. Stan I love that pan, your...

Maytag Wes Hey Wes, nice to hear from you again. Yes for the Maytag as all above have said, real metal, real porcelain and real durability, and only $50.

New Washer Rolls_Rapide Nice to hear a message from R_R again, sorry new washer not quite featured as you expected.Upon reading of demise of your old washer I was hoping to hear a report of a new EBAC washer or are they still not available in Scotland with Ebac's slow distribution roll out? A...
