Installing a stainless steel sink - questions
Comments (4)Its a Kindred qsl 2225 8 - here's a picture - pretty isnt it! Just hope it works - the gap is about 1/4 over 25" span. I can push it down with my hand all the way but it takes a lot of effort. I'll try the weights and report back. http://www.kindredcanada.com/pdf/SteelQueen/QSL2225_8.pdf...See MoreStainless Steel Vs Non-Stick Pans what do you think
Comments (33)I have a 70 year old cast iron skillet that has some serious pitting on the underside. And my 10 year old carbon steel wok shows some signs of deterioration, where the flames touch the metal. But overall, steel and iron are very sturdy. It takes an insane amount of abuse to destroy them. The boiling point of cooking oil is somewhere around 550°F, give or take. There is no way you can heat up an oil-filled pot above this temperature until all of the oil has evaporated. But that temperature is way above the smoke point, and you'd almost certainly set your kitchen on fire before you got anywhere close to boiling that oil. In other words, it is unlikely that an oil-filled wok would ever have been heated much above 400°F. And that's so far below the temperature when steel starts softening, it's not even in the same ballpark. So, no, I don't buy the story that the wok got damaged because it was heated with too much oil in it. And if this wasn't an old wok that had gradually worn out over time (hot flames do slowly oxidize the outside, after all) then the only explanation that I am willing to believe is a manufacturing fault. Of course, that can happen at any time. You don't really have much control over it. Just buy a different brand next time. I hear great things about the woks sold by http://www.wokshop.com/...See MoreFixing deep scratches on stainless steel kitchen sink
Comments (12)Linda: If you're having this much trouble finding your main shutoff, this may be a bigger project than you should undertake, however, if you must, remove the screws at the adjacent cabinet front and dishwasher. Place a wood block on the cabinet floor/sides and drive the wood block into the back of the cabinet front until it pops off. Now you have access to the ends of the screwed blocking. Drive a wrecking bar or large screwdriver between the cabinet sides and the blocking; those drywall screws will fail immediately. It's really easy to change a sink when the cabinet front is removed. Clean the sink flange and stone bottom. Attach the Hercules Universal Sink Harness clips (with the wires already measured and attached, unlike their video) to the cabinet sides. Run a bar clamp through a 2x4 that spans the sink cut out and through the sink drain. Silicone the flange and tighten the sink to the stone bottom with the clamp. Check your reveals. Clamp the sink with the HUSH and pull the bar. Reinstall the cabinet front and reconnect your plumbing....See MoreStainless Steel apron sink finish
