Soaking Beans- The reason to soak beans, has been documented for 75+ years, is to get rid of the phytic acid along with some indigestible sugars that cause flatulence and make the gut work harder. Not all varieties of beans, however, have the same amount. Pintos and red kidneys and black beans...

I do apologize if this has been answered before; I searched and didn't see one. Why exactly did dishwasher makers stop making top loaders? It seems they'd be so much easier to seal from water; whether it's better to bend over to load one as opposed to bending over to load a front opening, I'm...

norgeway- What pc (or pc's) do you use?

Now, That's Smart- Also--there are a bunch of G-Shock videos on YouTube. You might find help there.

Yes Rivas' videos echoed what Speed Queen told me as well as my local dealer when I bought my 432 recently--there was no way to accommodate the mech timer for the new requirements for 2018. I will say that I probably made a mistake by buying the 432 for $879 locally because for only $899 I...

I'd Still Like to own one of those oval-window Westinghouse machines. They really used water and are such fun to watch!

What An Attractive Couple You Are! Must be the climate, right? It's all of 50F right now just south of Houston and as always, people act like it's fifty below. If there's one thing my parents insisted on growing up, it was high quality food. None of that processed crap, which was just as...

I Love Mine but it doesn't do that. They really are amazing watches; I own around 75 watches but this is my daily driver at home.

I've noticed, in the two months that I've owned this Speed Queen 432, that an old issue has returned: dirt and crud on the inside of the lip lip but also around the recess where the lid resides. Of course, since my last two machines were FL's I didn't have this, replaced with other problems...

Question: When did front loading boots start having the mildew problem to begin with? The first I ever heard about it was what, about 20 years ago or so when the Neptune problem hit the national news. Westinghouse made all those cool oval window washers for many years but I never heard...

I'm Having Good Luck with the Lysol laundry disinfectant placed in the fabric softener cup on my SQ432. I only need it when doing pet stuff, use white vinegar there otherwise. And please avoid any pine oil products if you have a cat; they're toxic to cats.

I Love Julia but she wasn't the end-all in cooking any more than any other expert. I still think that her series, "The Way To Cook", is the best basic reference made in print and on video for new cooks. There are two factors with pressure cooking that makes it useful: temperature and...

Well, Ryan You can always get a Roper top loader for $299 at Lowe's! I looked at them before I bought my SQ in October; my sister has one that she's used for over a decade and it's still going strong. Such a bargain?

norgeway I don't know about NC, but here in TX where I live, I'm amazed at how expensive ham hocks have gotten. Most of the time these days for my 'daily' beans, I will buy cheap bacon (better 'cause more fat), vacuum seal slices and freeze them for later use. I'll just drop a piece of bacon...

Lord Kenmore I have a half-dozen pc's, and some I never use since I got an Instant Pot. Unless you cook on glass top induction, I'd be happy to give you one to explore the joys of pc cooking. If you'd like one, PM me at the address on my profile. BTW--the older that dried beans get, the...

Living in the Houston area, so much of the time when beans are mentioned, many think pinto beans automatically. We're fortunate that we have Casserole brand, because they are much higher quality than the crappy, dirty beans that are usually sold under the store's brand name. Rather like the...

I Guess they're not impressed by Hyacinth! The only person I ever heard use the word "palaver" was Fraser on Dad's Army...

These Are The Same as the 1977 avocado pair that I bought 40 years ago. I loved them and like others have said here, I'd love to have these if they were closer. I hope these beauties find a good home.

I Have No Doubt that, had my dryer not died in October and I decided to buy the current mech timer pair, I'd have been very happy to have this new system in 2018. Of course, as I've stated before, I don't get laundry very dirty--as someone inferred, my clothes have 'office dust'--and I'd enjoy...

petek- What's a 'mini split'?
