Do GE Inductions really need such huge clearances? Do others?
Comments (24)I think "reading the manual more carefully" is not the issue. The manual is poorly written if the objective is clarity but I doubt that was the first priority. Page 4, item 3, Vertical Clearances, the statement is "Allow 12" minimum VERTICAL clearance between the cooktop bottom and ANY COMBUSTIBLE SURFACES." This item is very specific to a stand alone cooktop installation with a baffle installed. Allowing for a safety factor of 2 x 6 inches, a given that no bottom exterior part of a NORMALLY operating cooktop is likely capable of initiating combustion, and the specific concern for only vertical clearance, it seems that the worry is elsewhere. My theory would be in the area of something like a shorted component or power overload spraying molten metal downward into the cabinet which could start a fire in suitable materials. Sort of a million to one "What if.........?" Here is a link that might be useful: Manual...See MoreIs it better to store seeds in plastic bags or paper envelopes?
Comments (10)That would depend upon the storage environment, the type of seed, and how long you intend to store the seed. My 2 c's (well, maybe 3) ;-) Paper envelopes are good for short-term storage, and are actually the best means if the dryness of the seed is questionable. Not good if the storage environment has periods of high humidity. Paper envelopes are easy to label & many use them, but they are best enclosed in an air-proof jar, with a little desiccant. Left out in the open, seed life in paper envelopes is dependent upon the ambient environment, and can be unpredictable. If you choose to use them, store them in a location where the temperature tends to be cool & stable throughout the year, and humidity is low. Zippered storage bags are good for short to medium term storage. I store most of my seeds in them, and provided that the seed was healthy & properly dried to begin with, many seeds (such as beans, squash, cukes, and tomatoes) have at least fair germination for up to 10 years. Not all zippered plastic bags are equal. Most snack, sandwich, and storage bags allow too much air penetration, and are inferior for anything other than short-term seed storage. Freezer bags are made of thicker material, and have better zipper seals. I've used both Zip lock & Hefty, and consider both adequate for storing small seed quantities. However, I had several seal failures storing beans in Zip lock bags (dumping the whole bag unexpectedly), and the Hefty freezer bags have stronger seals, so that is all I use now. The small zippered craft bags are good for mailing seed to others (and I recommend them for that purpose to protect seeds from the elements), but if used for seed storage, I would recommend placing them in a jar, and treating them the same as paper envelopes. Plastic bags trap sunlight, so they should NEVER be placed in direct sun. Direct exposure for even a short period of time can quickly kill or injure any enclosed seeds. If planting during warm humid weather, I recommend keeping the bulk of the seed in a controlled environment. Transfer the seed to be planted into a different container (such as those paper envelopes) and quickly reseal the bag. It is helpful to roll up the bags & squeeze out as much air as possible before closing, and to pack the bags in such a way that they are unable to re-inflate. I can't over emphasize the need for the seed to be properly dried before storage in any air-tight container. If the seed has too much moisture, it will deteriorate very quickly....See MoreWhat stores carry contact paper? Weird, I know....
Comments (14)Thank you. The reason I don't want to order online is just that I want to finish today. :) So far I have ordered various things, and waiting for each to arrive, as I thought of new improvements, stretched out the project from a "I'll re-do the inside of my closet on New Year's Eve," to "It's 3 weeks later and I still have stuff strewn all over my bedroom." That's a good idea to check other nearby stores using the website. I had clicked a box to check only my store....See MorePantry, paper towel, now napkins
Comments (38)I’m with you @maddielee! I thought I was mis-reading. I love cloth napkins, always use them when we have company...but there is no way I could reuse them for multiple meals, even if everyone knew whose was whose. I‘m a tad squeamish apparently. 😂 My mom gave me a beautiful set of sterling napkin rings with my monogram on them for a shower gift. I love them, but there are only 6...I probably get more bc we usually have more than 6 when we have a dinner party. I’ve been filling in with others, but I think I will get another set of 6 for myself....See More- 9 years ago
