They are just like the Allclads...stainless sandwiched around an aluminum core. Nice cooking and you're not paying the name brand premium.

Goo Gone usually leaves an oily residue that needs soap and water to remove. Otherwise it doesn't hurt the surface it's working on. Soak a piece of cotton or a corner of paper towel and scrub with that on the sticky. Leaving the soaked cotton on the sticky for a minute or two also makes the job easier.

No, that's not something I had thought of. I guess I could. Just thought of an Asian market. They cook with duck fat quite often. I'll call around.

The title says it. I'm looking for duck fat and I live near Milford. Anyone know a source? Thanks, Linda

I load the flatware alternating up and down to prevent the spoons/forks from spooning and preventing the spray from reaching each piece. The plates are loaded with the smaller ones to the inside so the spray can reach the larger ones. Any yes boys, an efficiently loaded dishwasher is a sight to behold. Being able to stuff everything in there and still get it all clean wins the prize....not having to run the dishwasher again today!

You can find it in the grocery store, spice aisle.... Kitchen Bouquet. Although it claims "Kitchen Bouquet is a unique blend of vegetables, herbs and spices, that adds flavor and rich color to soups, stews, sauces and gravies", I find the flavor it adds is mostly psychological from seeing browner gravy.

Not necessarily "poultry shears", but I'm extremely pleased with my Messermeister Take Apart Kitchen Shears. They'll cut through poultry backbones without trouble and only run about $25.

It sounds like you're saying she used the oil to melt the ice. Or are you saying the oil was put on the bare walls before it got icy? That makes more sense for quick release.

I second OXO tongs. The locking mechanism is really easy to open on the fly, and it won't lock itself on you when you're not looking.

Milford is the place to go. Besides Five Lakes on Main st, there's Baker's on S. Milford Rd and Hector & Jimmy's on N. Milford rd. I've been to both Baker's and H&J's. They both have good food and families are welcome. It's about a 15 minute drive.

I use a clean and dry plastic milk jug with a screw top. Have to use a funnel to get it in, but it's easy to dispense and keeps bugs and moisture out.

Just try it. If it arcs (sparking), assume it is bad and turn it off. It it doesn't arc, then it's good to go.

We have a smoke detector with a "mute" function. Push a button and it shuts up, except for a once a minute chirp, for 15 minutes. There's one here that has a remote to do this. Great for kitchens and outside steamy bathrooms.

I ordered some last year for Christmas. It was fun, but best used in a house with a dog <burp>, or outside. Here are some you don't have to make Mini Marshmallow shooter or a Big Marshmallow Blaster. Accessories include laser sight and quick change magazines I guess my answer to your question is YES!
