Big puzzle Devices need to have a good balance between water conservation and doing a satisfactory job. I get a more complete flush when I dump 2 quarts of water from a pitcher into my toilet bowl than any tank toilet. Could a toilet be redesigned to deliver a powerful flush with such a small...

Great video, David As always, you do a wonderful job filming and explaining. Sarah

Epoxy putty stick Most, if not all, epoxies will not adhere to plastic. You need to search for a glue that will work with plastic. Some plastic adhesives weld the plastic together. Sarah

Congratulations and thanks! Robert, You’ve created an incredible forum and space for friendship and sharing knowledge.

Marriage is compromise I'd pass on the electric knife, but DH likes to use one for filleting fish and cutting turkey & ham. I will most definitely seek an American made one. Alas, John, I don't think we can recycle the motor here. Will recycle the blades though. Sarah

The title kind of says it all. The blades move when it is turned on, but it won't cut a thing. I'm thinking the blades don't move enough? But generally I'm clueless. Ideas. It's not particularly valuable, but I hate to trash it. Thanks, Sarah

Spectacular Ken, your photos are gorgeous! I don't know anything about induction cooktops though. Sarah

3 prong grounded vs GFI All of my outlets will be three prong grounded except vintage accessory plugs on lights or appliances. Kitchen and bath will either be GFI or slaves to GFI. Sarah

I'm so proud! Thank you, Bob. Thank you. Takes a bow. Bruce said if there had been any more dirty dishes around, he would have hidden them from me. Son the younger says, "So, what, Mom, you need someone to tell you your dishes are clean?" Cynical child. Sarah

3 rack Bosch This started out as what I think was a pretty magnificent Bob load. Then I forgot to take a good picture of the bottom rack after the wash and included the skillet that had scorched on onions and cabbage. Everything was spotless except the large stainless skillet. The dishwasher...

Thanks for the info Hi John, Thanks, as always, for the info. I was curious as I am not buying this one. I'm still hoping that where you find on two burner model there will be two. Sarah

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...
