Stainless Steel spotting
Comments (3)I am not sure if you can *remove* the spots, but some things will shine up the SS so that you don't see them. By far the very very best SS cleanser and polish I have found is called "signature polish" it actually cleans the SS and leaves a nice finish on it that resists fingerprint but is not greasy. It looks like soft scrub, but not really gritty. I got a tiny sample of it when I got a Wolf stove. . So you will likely have to go online or to a specialty store to get it. I have also tried "sheila shine", which is really more like a polish, but leaves kinda of a greasy shine. It is a spray on polish. I was able to find sheila shine at lowes. I have also used Bar keepers friend on stainless steel to remove some spots...(or rust). Hope that helps! (and that I am not too late)...See More18/10 stainless steel
Comments (3)Just a few rules to keep in mind. The numbers on stainless steel products refer to the percent of materials used to produce a specific alloy. Using 18/10 as an example. The 18 refers to the % of chromium in the finished steel. 10 refers to the % of nickel. 18/10 is defined as Austenitic or, more commonly, 304 grade stainless. In consumer applications it provides the strongest and corrosive resistant material. The reason the magnet stuck to the base is becasue the manufacturer selected an alloy with no nickel. This steel is called 18/0 stainless (430 grade). The reason this is commonly used is that it still contains 18% chromium which provides strength and resists corrosion. The absence of nickel however makes the cookware suitable for induction (magnetic) cooktops. Not surprisingly, it's also less expensive than 18/10 stainless. While 18/0 stainless steel is acceptable for impact bonded cookware bases and multi clad exteriors, It should never be used as the actual cookware interior surface. While the chromium is corrosion resistant, the lack of nickel makes the steel very suceptible to pitting. Only use cookware with an interior surface of 18/10. If a magnet does not stick to the interior pan wall, you're fine....See Morevent: argh: toddler scratches 1day old stainless steel freezer
Comments (33)Sorry to have taken everyone off topic. What happened is that my daughter hit a patch of black ice on her way to work. Inexperience and an empty pickup were a bad combo. There were several things to be thankful for. My dh had tools in the truck and she had text books...all flying around her head as she turned over and over. She said she had visions of being killed by a wrench or her own math book! (So what you carry loose in the car can be a big problem) The side of the road she was traveling on has a big drop-off on one side, but she crossed the road and ended up upside down in someone's driveway. It was early Sat. morning, so there were no other cars around to be involved. That big crunch in the truck was from a brick lamppost she hit while flipping. Even though it was solid, about 2 x 2 ft and planted 4 ft into the ground with concrete, it was completely pulled out. Just thankful the box of the truck hit it instead of the cab. She ended up with bruises from her seatbelt and a new respect for cold mornings. (There was no frost or anything to indicate ice should be a problem that day, but there were so many accidents no policemen even made it to hers, since it was 1 car, no injuries.) God apparently had more things for her to accomplish, and we're glad of that. My heart flips and my stomach turns every time the phone rings when I know the kids are on the road. Our 3rd is just about ready for her license. The driving thing does add a whole new, scarier dimension to parenting! Now, back to scratched fridges, from before I got so dramatic!......See MoreNew Stainless Steel Appliances in the Kitchen Pictures
Comments (27)OK, I feel it is time to share what others can't see unless being in person or having close up pictures taken so everyone understands why I may need other changes eventually. I put accessories around the laminate sides up the wall to block the fact that my beautiful new gas range has nothing behind it. I feel my kitchen looks nice now and I am proud of the changes that I have made but in person some things still bother me about my kitchen. For instance, the 20 year old hollow veneered oak cabinet doors over the particle board/plywood frame needs to be refinished or have the doors replaced with new hinges since mine are worn out and some have rust on them. The doors are the type that are the half type of doors so the frame shows in between the doors so the frame must also be stained or painted to match. I am still wondering if I can paint them and add new hinges and new door knobs or if I can change out the doors or if I have to replace the cheap cabinets that the builder put into my home that cost so much. The counter is not in bad shape for being 20 years old and made of laminate but has some chips on the sides and a few scratches on the counter that do not bother me that much since most of the counter is in decent shape. The counter is a happy bright color that I always liked until I changed my appliances. My linoleum floors are in poor shape with deep cuts and a major rip by the sliding door from the extra locking bar that broke and kept falling on the floor. The bar finally ripped the floor a few years ago until I hired someone to give me a new locking bar. I did add the red rug and I was keeping a red tea pot on the range until I changed the range. I can put the red teapot back on the range. I also feel my kitchen needs some color but I am not sure what do do. If I paint the walls, then it will be more noticeable that the laminate counters go up the side of the walls but the gas range has no backguard. Unless I only paint the top of the walls above the cabinets and add a back splash behind the range?
