  1. This one: Norpro 155 Stainless Steel Mini Meatballer For perfect meatballs, and no raw meat under your fingernails. dcarch
  2. Very easy to grow. My year round arugula supply, summer and winter. dcarch
  3. Am I the only one who uses the meatballer? dcarch
  4. No wonder it is so big and heavy. A typical window unit has only two motors. the cooling and heat ejection fans use the same motor and the compressor uses another motor. This thing has at least 5 motors. One for the compressor, two for heat ejection, at least one for cooling and the small thing on the bottom is a shaded pole water ejection motor. dcarch
  5. An air conditioner always need to drain away condensate water from dehumidification. Some drain it out side, some splash on condensing coil to cool the coil and gain efficiency. There may be a hole for water to go from the cooling side to the hot side. dcarch
  6. What is the model# of your A/C? I am guessing there is an opening connecting the evaporative side and the condensing side for the purpose of ventilation. You can probably close that opening with duct tape. dcarch
  7. Not necessarily. In aerodynamics, when air is blown over a surface, it will create an uplift pressure. Try to blow over a piece of paper. It does not mean air is being sucked out. Check your air flow pattern. dcarch
  8. Here you go. dcarch
  9. 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
  10. Just a quick clarification. I don't think he used galvanized steel. A welder will not use that for making heated cooking appliance. dcarch
  11. Liquid Smoke? dcarch
  12. When you open the smoker to braise, the smoker temperature will quickly drop to ambient temperature. dcarch
  13. 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
  14. Use drain cleaner, such as Liquid Plumber. Cheaper. Brush on, cover with thin plastic sheet. Let it work overnight. dcarch
  15. That's $30 for the pint!!! Buy a new pan. cheaper. dcarch
  16. Always buy (grow) asparagus male roots. dcarch
  17. Starting from seeds takes a few years. Buy crowns (roots). 1, 2 or 3 year old crowns and enjoy much quicker. dcarch
  18. 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 2017 (Part 2)

  20. Will make a better tanning booth. :-) dcarch

    Avocado Recipes

    Of course, in sushi making. A great recent Japanese invention, which glorifies avocado's taste, color and texture!. dcarch
  22. 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
  23. An electric fence keeps all out, except the flying ones. dcarch
  24. 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
  25. 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
