If you are careful in using non-stick cookware, they will last almost forever. Except some cast iron, all other LC products are not made in France. dcarch

Just a quick clarification. I don't think he used galvanized steel. A welder will not use that for making heated cooking appliance. dcarch

Liquid Smoke? dcarch

When you open the smoker to braise, the smoker temperature will quickly drop to ambient temperature. dcarch

Keeping in mind, chemically, under normal conditions, there is no known chemical that can dissolve pure carbon, only high heat can turn carbon into CO2. dcarch

Use drain cleaner, such as Liquid Plumber. Cheaper. Brush on, cover with thin plastic sheet. Let it work overnight. dcarch

That's $30 for the pint!!! Buy a new pan. cheaper. dcarch

Always buy (grow) asparagus male roots. dcarch

Starting from seeds takes a few years. Buy crowns (roots). 1, 2 or 3 year old crowns and enjoy much quicker. dcarch

I would say more than 50% of avocados go to waste because people squeeze them way too hard when buying. They squeeze 10 to 20 before they buy one. dcarch

Dinner ? Yes, what you get on an airplane for dinner, even on long flights. dcarch

Will make a better tanning booth. :-) dcarch

Of course, in sushi making. A great recent Japanese invention, which glorifies avocado's taste, color and texture!. dcarch

Solar powered electric fence is not expensive and effective. I am trying to buy a stun gun ($10. Legal in many states), add a battery and a cheap solar panel and make my own fence charger. dcarch

An electric fence keeps all out, except the flying ones. dcarch

The problem with an A/C in a 5' x 5' x 7' enclosed environment is that it will cool down the whole volume in about a minute and cycle off, then on/ then off -----. A peltier device can be on and off instantly with no mechanical problem, and it can become a cooler or heater simply by polarity reversal. I think most wine cooler/refrigerators are made with Peltier devices. The only issue with using Peltier is to have to provide DC power. May be the power supply to your LED light has spare watts to power the Peltiers. A very interesting project! dcarch

Aren't you overdoing it? Painting you kitchen door to match your kitchen towel? LOL!! A very nice looking design that is also very functional! three thumbs up!! dcarch

You realize that anyone who lives in NYC and buys one of those grow tents will be on law enforcement's watch list. LOL Anyway, if you use a regular window A/C to cool, you will need to program the thermostat and relay to delay start so that the compressor can have time to equalize. An A/C may create too much air movement. A 5,000 BTU may be too powerful to give you enough time to de-humidify. I bought a lot of Peltier devices, with heat sinks for hot and cold, for cheap, $3.00 each. dcarch

What is your tent material? I use IR/AC greenhouse plastic film, which has anti-condensation and IR reflectivity qualities. Have you consider solid state thermal junction cooling/heating (Peltir devices)? No moving parts for heating and cooling and moisture control. I also use ultrasonic transducer to general moisture. dcarch

Arduino? With the sensors, now you need the controllers and generators. dcarch

Nicely pan seared charred steaks are really partially for aesthetics. Consider that grilled steaks only have about 30% to 40% of the meat grill marked. Sometimes you can even sear only one side of the steak. dcarch

Google Pastry rack or cooling rack or something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Charmed-Silver-3-Tier-Stackable-Cooling/dp/B01N9FJRDU/ref=sr_1_19?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1487347813&sr=1-19&keywords=cooling+rack dcarch

Why bother with all kinds of fancy knives? dcarch

There is only one type of cooking which requires specific cutting methods, knives and extensive training and practice - Sushi making. Otherwise, you do what you want using whatever knife you are comfortable with. dcarch

Fundamental difference Microwave convection oven VS regular: Regular oven bakes from top and bottom, and larger fan for convection is more effective. Microwave convection bakes from top, with not many watts, and the convection fan tends to be small. dcarch
