First-World Problems...

OxoFail.jpg

That is a two-ounce measuring cup made by "Oxo." Their stuff is usually pretty good, although aggressively priced, which is sort of obnoxious. I have another measuring cup of the same size but made from aluminum, and often use both during marathon cocktail-making sessions.

But the damned thing is barely 10-years old, and can't handle the dishwasher? What sort of shoddy work are they doing over in Oxoland? Read..."China." enough said.

Luckily the red numerals and lines survived the ordeal. Otherwise I would have had to redo the kitchen...or worse!

A lot of people think a shot glass is one oz., when it's actually 1.5 oz.

I had TG dinner at my sister and BiL's house, and he's just starting to get in to cocktails. He asked if I would like a Manhattan, to which I of course said yes. Unfortunately, and unknown to me, he used two shots of a cask strength rye, which I was not expecting. Thus, I had close to two Manhattans instead of the one I expected, and felt it. Needless to say, I then passed on the wine with dinner.

“Commands” is a bit strong. A lot of sellers put high prices on them. But in any thrift store, or even consignment antique mall, you can find vintage pyrex at lower prices than new pyrex. (In consignment stores you will often see vastly varying prices—an order of magnitude sometimes—on the same exact item in different booths.)

You can also find a whole lot of “made in America” kitchen supplies (and workshop tools) that are not just in great shape now but will probably outlive the cockroaches.

Posted by: CharlieBrown'sDildo at December 08, 2024 02:26 PM (d9fT1)

59 In case you were wondering:

Vintage Pyrex is considered better than newer Pyrex because it's made from a stronger, more heat-resistant glass:

Vintage Pyrex is made from borosilicate glass, which is stronger than the soda-lime glass used in newer Pyrex. Borosilicate glass contains boron trioxide, which gives it a lower thermal expansion coefficient and higher heat resistance. This means that vintage Pyrex can withstand big thermal shocks, like going directly from the oven to a cold countertop.

You can tell the difference between vintage and new Pyrex by looking at the markings on the bottom. Vintage Pyrex is labeled with all-caps "PYREX", while newer Pyrex is labeled with all-lowercase "pyrex".
You can use vintage Pyrex in the oven at temperatures up to 425ºF...

Well, if you must know, I am kidding here, leastwise as far as being able to see any monazite crystals. (a Thorium-bearing mineral) But monazite, and sometimes uraninite do commonly occur as scarce accessory grains in granite rock. And pink granite is anomalously radioactive due to K40 in the pink potassium feldspar that gives it its pink color.

It amuses me no end that greentards who vehemently oppose nuclear power are happily installing large slabs of radioactive rock in their kitchens.

It would be fun to wave the probe of a scintillometer over those pink granite counters.

71 FWP: Having a broken pinky toe and no crutches.

Had a kid birthday trip to the mall yesterday. Spouse got me a complimentary wheelchair from the mall, which he needed to b/c they placed them as far away from any entrance door as possible. Then, he pushed me around stores. Let's say it's a good thing I don't work for the federal disability department. There was ONE store that was probably ADA compliant for a wheelchair that we went in - the Pro Sports Jersey store. All others were mediocre to bad - we almost took out 3 displays in Williams Sonoma and a store employee literally had to move 3 floor boxes just so we could leave (and it's good I could move my leg, b/c if I couldn't, I'd have speared that leg anyway leaving WS)...a few stores, I told the spouse not to bother going in but he felt bad.

Thankfully, this is temporary. But man, stores need to space out - not sure how strollers, wheelchairs, crutches, or scooters handle them...

I really like the little double-height shot glass type with the teaspoons/tablespoons measurement up the sides. I use that so often I picked up a second one to use for multiple items in the same recipe.

The last I heard, all the savvy cooks were snapping up vintage cookware and Estate sale heirloom measuring cups and dishes, casseroles for their Pyrex needs. Fire King out of Ohio - Anchor Hocking used to employ 10,000 people. Gone.

Think of how many other jobs those 10,000 needed around the country and the world.

105 Tips to tell Old Pyrex from New Pyrex:

PYREX in all caps is made from Borosilicate glass (with a blue-ish cast); if it's lowercase 'pyrex' it's made from tempered soda lime glass.

Borosilicate Glass: Silica, boron trioxide, soda ash, and alumina, borosilicate glass - great thermal shock resistance. Logo is UPPER-case ‘PYREX’. This is the OLD Pyrex.

Soda-Lime Glass: made from sand, soda ash, and limestone. Logo is lowercase 'pyrex' This is the NEW Pyrex.

110 Can I put more gas in it and it'll be fine now? Or do I need to get all of it out because I assume with the way the tank is setup the gas on the bottom...which will be the oldest gas...gets used first?
Posted by: 18-1 at December 08, 2024 02:37 PM (oZhjI)

Pouring in fresh gas will dilute the nasties in the dregs of the old gas, and the tank will fine. But the carburetor bowl will be full of the worst part of the old gas, and that's why it won't start. Best course of action is to remove the carb bowl (often a single central bolt), dump it out, and flush with aerosol carb cleaner. If that's not practical, you could try priming the carb through the air intake. An aerosol can of the "flammable" brake cleaner is good for this. Starting fluid is kind of drastic in its action; the engine hammers hard running on it.

I always shut down my snowblower by turning off the fuel valve, and letting it run until the carb goes dry and it quits on its own.

149 Keurigs -- Are they worth it? Or are they a stupid kraut scam?

I’m inclined to the scam side. I only just started drinking coffee last year (don’t ask); I have a drip coffee maker; my dad has a Keurig.

Both require filling with water before making coffee. Both require regular cleaning. Both take about as much time to make a cup of coffee (they both have to do the same thing: heat the water and then drip it through the coffee grinds)—and so the Keurig takes about twice as long to make my two cups of coffee in the morning.

One advantage to the Keurig is that everyone can have a different coffee flavor by choosing their own pod instead of using the communal carafe. But that’s got to be contrasted against the greater amount of time it will take to brew each cup one after the other, rather than all at once.

151 Old stale oxidized gasoline will burn, but just because it burns doesn’t mean anything. It turns to glue when the engine cools off. The carburetor is the least of the worries. It basically cements valves, lifters, and piston rings down tight.

The next time you go to start the engine - on a pushrod V8 they all turn into Pretzels, as the exhaust valves are all frozen shut with tar. Oops!

I mix up Sugar, Cocoa powder, and a big pinch salt for every serving, and then make a thick paste with a little water. Heat this up till bubbly, it tempers Cocoa a little bit or whatever, without being in the presence of fat globules. It also mixes easy.

Then mix in Half and Half and proceed as normal, heat till scalding. Add Cinnamon or fresh Nutmeg. Make it a little sweeter and add a healing tablespoon of freeze-dried coffee, and you’ve a fine Mocha. Milk is OK, Evaporated Milk is a distant 3rd.

Don’t forget Salt. Cocoa (and Chocolate) needs salt to bring out the flavor, like many foods.

I mix up Sugar, Cocoa powder, and a big pinch salt for every serving, and then make a thick paste with a little water. Heat this up till bubbly, it tempers Cocoa a little bit or whatever, without being in the presence of fat globules. It also mixes easy.

Then mix in Half and Half and proceed as normal, heat till scalding. Add Cinnamon or fresh Nutmeg. Make it a little sweeter and add a healing tablespoon of freeze-dried coffee, and you’ve a fine Mocha. Milk is OK, Evaporated Milk is a distant 3rd. Condensed Milk works handily, you’ve Cocoa and nothing else needed.

Powdered Milk is the Achilles heel of Cocoa. Nido or Peak makes it palatable. Notice at the grocery, the Communists are always substituting Skim Milk in their Chocolate Milk. This is Wrong and Should Be Punished.

202 I have a snowblower that’s 12 or 13 years old. I never do any maintenance on it. I can’t remember the last time I changed the oil. I use regular 87 gas in it. I don’t use any additives or anything. Throw gas in when it’s needed. Over the summer old gas sits.

And every winter it starts up (sometimes after many tries the first use) and does what it needs to do. Granted I use it on average 5 or 6 time winter. That’s how many snowfalls require e blower vs using a shovel. But still, a lot of this emphasis on using this or that gas or obsession with maintenance….i feel is somewhat overblown.

True, to a point. You can buy funnels with a very, very fine screen in them that will completely block water droplets, if first wet with gasoline. Coleman stove funnels, for example. Ethanol-blended gas will absorb, and "burn" water up to a point, but too much water, and a phase separation occurs.

Yup. You have no clue. Hint: it depends on the gasoline cormulation, among other things,, and temperature. Gasoline spoils, sometimes fast, sometimes slow. But it spoils. In carburetors, it boils off the light ends when it sits. Because vapor pressure doesn’t factor in sealed fuel systems in cars and trucks.

If you have no problems using year old gasoline, count yourself lucky. Fresh gasoline gives better performance, way before it bricks your motor stale gasoline starts to stink to high heaven. It is overblown, but there’s no downside to using good fresh gas when an engine is being difficult. Now that’s a fact.

Posted by: Common Tater at December 08, 2024 03:53 PM (cUWlp)

Agreed. Plain old petroleum gasoline will eventually evaporate off the light ends, and the dregs can oxidize and polymerize into a tarry varnish, too. Seen a lot of it.

My snowblower has 120 volt AC electric starter. Fill it with fuel, choke it, hit the primer button a few times, and then the starter button. It usually fires off right away, but extended cranking is possible, if it has to be done. Once warmed up, easy restart via the recoil handle if I have to shut down to clear debris from the augers.
