Sorry, no comment on the particular brand you bought because I've got no experience with it whatsoever. By which I mean, of course, pots and pans -- their knives are excellent and I'd expect their other products to be at least as good. That having been said, I have a few pots/pans by Bialetti...

Eugene! I can barely breath, I'm laughing so hard that people from other rooms came to see what was up and are also now in stitches. If we could, we'd give you a thousand or more "likes", keep up the good work! Cheers,    -- Paulo.

I think there's some confusion with the way the new fixtures disperse the light, color rendition and temperature. I think that the new lamp post fixtures are designed to disperse the light in a new pattern that tends to keep the light from polluting the sky and directs it much more to the...

I feel like it's best to talk about this in several different areas/stages. How do you feel when it's something *else* roasting? Beef? Lamb? Chicken? Duck? Because, really, while many people feel like it's not Thanksgiving without the turkey, there are *plenty* of people who are bored to death...

Sunbeam seems to have 2 or 3 different models/colors for king and queen size, but they seem to be the microfiber kind. Usually I find them in places like Kohls, Target, BJ's etc. Last time I bought anything of the kind it was a Sunbeam heated mattress pad (queen size) that worked really well...

As they say in the article, <blockquote>«Douglas Irwin, an economist at Dartmouth and the author of “Peddling Protectionism,” a book about Smoot-Hawley, told me, “Whirlpool is putting their resources into stopping competition. Maybe they should put their resources into serving their consumers...

Wow, was there any reason to resurrect a thread that was over 3 years old? Usually it's new users that have something to ask or to add, but this time nothing. In any case, Dave, I wish you good luck using the numbers on your gas knobs. It might work if you have a lot of luck or a really high...

As far as I can tell, it's a mixture of things. When you take a picture with a modern camera (it doesn't have to be a smartphone), it takes the picture and attaches a lot of different values ("metadata") about the picture, including the GPS coordinates (if it has access to that, or is turned...

I was naive enough to think that (a) most buildings had a chain/rope and pulley system setup exactly for this reason and (b) that most people who delivered stuff in big cities knew how to use them. Otherwise, how do they move stuff like beds, sofas, pianos etc that do not fit in the elevators...

Are you talking about the cool-down period, when the machine introduces enough water to bring it from 130+F down to warm?

I would like to address the "compulsive pre-rinser" part -- I have noticed that a lot, if not most, of the new machines that have a dirt sensor just sense at the first few minutes of the cycle that the load is "clean" and stop the cycle short. It's weird and counterintuitive, but perhaps that...

Excellent news! Here's hoping for more good news soon!!!

My family never did the spoon to twirl pasta either, you just spin the fork against the plate and it works just fine.

Thomas: For most people, a slow cooker is a godsend -- in theory, you load it in the morning or the night before with things that will be cooking for a loooong time (4-8 hours, although some recipes need 12) and all the flavors will meld into something divine, the meat will be falling off the...

Louis: My family came from all over Italy, according to folks who were trying to follow the family roots, I'd have to ask them next time I visit. I know for sure that my dad's grandfather was from Sicily, I can't remember where his wife was from or where my mom's mother family was from, but...

I have had no problems adjusting the burner settings, but then again, we have an induction stove, so the adjustment is actually faster than when we had a gas stove. The auto off is no big deal for me either, the timer works just as well, but like Ralph, I tend not to leave the kitchen when I...

The explanation about people finding more meat for a cheaper cost makes perfect sense to me. The part I'm having a little difficulty with is that spaghetti with meatballs is popular all over North and South America. I'd be satisfied with "well, Walt Disney's Lady and the Tramp made it popular"...

There was some talk about some electronic pressure cooker or another (can't remember if it was Instant Pot or Power Pressure Cooker XL or some other brand) which one could use as a pressure cooker, a fryer or a slow cooker, depending on the settings. If I needed a slow cooker (I don't, I...

Look, this is pointless. The other day the New York Times or Herald or whatever was interviewing "real Italian people" visiting NYC and their reactions to things. ROFLMAO!!! They behaved as if they were the only people who knew how to be True Italians[tm]. Among interesting things: One of...

Just watched his second video doing 2 loads at the same time, jeans in lower basket and colored clothing in upper basket. It's more obvious in this video that the machine uses overflow from the top basket to sense it's full and the guy mentions 2 stickers warning people not to use chlorine...
