Does Size Matter?
Comments (12)Dave, I did not see any weights in it, but was asured they were around and that she would find them. I heard I can pick them up relativly inexpensivly from my local True Value, so is not a big deal. I still have plenty of time to pick up weights. lina_lou, Yes I think that I have had a string of good luck all in all with the free apples, free cases of canning jars and now the Pressure canner. It seems to me that in my area any ways no one seems to can anymore, so I have been lucking out. The person I got the canner from says she knows some more people who used to can and they my have loads of mason jars to get rid of. (they just have gotten to old or moved to a retirement home) so as do not have need for items anymore. They told me that they miss the home produce, so if all go's well and I dont poison myself in the learning process I will give them some of what I put up, its only fair. mark...See MoreDoes where you buy matter?
Comments (12)No, I do not think so unless there is a problem in the delivery. The other area might be if you are not happy with the appliance but it is not defective or it is defective and the defect is such that you would not want another one from the same company. Some places will take it back for a limited time, many will not. I would ask about that ahead of time and you may find you get different answers, although whether any place will honor what they tell you is a different matter. If your product just needs to be serviced within the regular warranty period, as long as the dealer was authorized to sell the product, it does not matter because the manufacturer services it, not the dealer. The warranties are expensive at Sears. I hate Sears because the price match thing is a hassle and the one time I tried it, they did not have the item in stock (neither did Lowes who had the best price). Since it was a fridge and I was desperate I ended up negotiating something with a local appliance store. We have bought from the local appliance place before and after but a couple of years ago they really tried to rook my DH on a big screen TV. He ordered a Sony from them that was about 200 cheaper (on 2000) at Amazon and every place else. We ended up canceling the order and I am no longer interested in buying from the small place. I am not using my hard earned money to subsidize the owner's new Infiniti (yes he does own one, I know him personally) Lowes often has the cheapest in our area but their price tends to fluctuate. I check online first. I bought a freezer a year ago from Lowes, my local small store would have charged over 100 more plus delivery. At Lowes it was free. The price did vary by about 50 from week to week and I made sure to get the low end. I have also used a web based Appliance Buy Phone Service. I had no problems, it was 100 cheaper than any place else. It was delivered by PC Richards which is a local appliance chain but was not sold by them...See MoreSweetened condensed milk--what can I do with it?
Comments (23)I have been known to mix sweetened condensed milk with unsweetened cocoa powder to make my own spread, like Nutella. (Well, no actually, I haven't been known to do that, as I did it secretly and then ate it off a spoon) I've made Dolce de Leche in the can, in a pressure cooker. I put a few inches of water in the pressure cooker to make sure it won't boil away, and then put whole unopened cans of sweetened condensed milk in, and cook for an hour or two. Be careful to let the whole pressure cooker cool down for quite a while before opening, because you don't want the cans suddenly contacting ambient air while they are still above normal heat / pressure inside. The first time I made it, I think I did it for over an hour, and it came out brown and delicious and caramelly, but the second time i must have skimped on the time or the pressure, because it didn't get brown or caramelly at all, just thicker around the edges of the can. I made three cans at a time, thinking it was a waste to run the stove that long for one little can. But the one that sat on the shelf for a month or two before opening had crystals throughout, not the nice smooth texture. An Indian friend of mine was told how to fake Indian sweets by her mother. Mix as much dried shredded coconut into sweetened condensed milk as you can, form it into balls, and roll in powdered sugar....See MoreDoes brand matter for quartz countertops?
Comments (7)Thanks all. I did a stain test using ketchup, curry powder, pencil, and pen. I left all four for 24 hours. The ketchup came out completely, but the other three leave discoloration after I tried cleaning with a wet paper towel. However, I don't know if this is expected to be the case for white quartz of any brand. What kind of cleaners would you recommend? I have a sample of white Silestone on the way. I plan to run the same test and see what types of results I get....See More- 15 years ago
