Coffee pot

Do you have any problems with that Delonghi Perc

I have not had any problems with the 'little black knob' but then again, I use this perk very infrequently. I just love percolators where you can watch the coffee brew thru the top. Something about that creates a warm situation watching the coffee spout out of the tube against the see-thru top.

Hey Sparkly!

The maximum wattage we normally see on a general-duty circuit is 1,500w. Your (3,000w on 220v)and our (1,500w on 110v) would draw similar amperage. Similar amperage would reguire a similar wire gauge (thickness).

Our kitchen electrics are generally not grounded/earthed. Perhaps there are three conductors in your flex power cord and *only* two in ours?

The tea kettle that I own and referenced in my link draws 1,500 watts.

Cheers!

volts * amps = watts
watts/volts =amps
watts/amps = volts

E=I*R
electomotive force (volts)= amps * resistance (in ohms)
amps= volts/resistance
resistance volts/amps

Very cool! I was always led to believe that glass cookware would not work on a smoothtop range. Obviously, I was receiving the wrong information!

 

[toggleswitch]

Yup

I heard it is best not to use cast-iron in that it can scratch the surface.

Otherwise a smooth and flat bottom helps the job get done.

And there's rainbows everywhere

Any Hoovers in your collection?

Uhhhmmmmm...Yes

How does this grab you?

[polkanut]

I think I see a covert trip to Connecticut in the future to pilfer that psychedelic GE percolator. Beware!

It the FABULOUS GE Perk 'Sistas', but, I don't know why they brought a ratty old box with them? Must have been some leftover baggage, tradition....or something....
