    Ember Mug showing empty when there's still liquid in it?

    Haha, so toggling the temp settings on the mug while doing anything is hilarious. Its a mug not a spaceship

    Ninja Foodi dual zone Sync function for wings and roast potatoes, anyone use it much?

    thats actually really useful to know, cheers. So it does undershoot a bit when both baskets are in use at the same time but not enough to worry about. Did the wings crisp up properly at that temp?

    How much juice actually comes out of one lemon by size?

    50 drinks at a party is not a cocktail program, its a backyard bbq. When you get to the volume needed for cocktails the average size and weight will work out so its fine.

    How much juice actually comes out of one lemon by size?

    When I bartend I plan on 1oz of juice per lemon because size seem to not matter that much. You just have to provide enough lemons so that the average comes out to what you plan on providing. Its insane trying to sort lemons by size when its 7pm and you’ve got 20 people waiting in line.

    Delonghi Magnifica espresso routine, is it really just fill and press?

    It will pull your shot but incredibly slowly and possibly give you almost nothing in your cup altogether. There is no error code though. Just back it off one click and you’ll be good.

    Delonghi Magnifica espresso routine, is it really just fill and press?

    Couple things worth knowing if you actualy want decent espresso shots out of your Magnifica. First, the grind adjustment dial inside the bean hopper is the single biggest thing you can tweak on your Magnifica and most Magnifica owners never touch it. Only adjust it when the grinder is running...

    Swapping the bulb in a Sharp microwave, anything tricky to watch for?

    The LED bulbs hate heat, the compartment where the bulb is located can reach temperatures of 80-90c when the microwave is running a cooking cycle. The LEDs that are used in the microwaves derate at this high temperature so they do not last as long. The newer models of Sharps have LEDs that are...

    Ninja Foodi dual zone Sync function for wings and roast potatoes, anyone use it much?

    ok so the temperature setting for the delayed food doesn’t make a difference to the cooking of the item does it? for example, when cooking does the item stay in residual heat from the other food being cooked?

    Ninja Foodi dual zone Sync function for wings and roast potatoes, anyone use it much?

    wait so when you hit sync it just literally pauses the shorter cook? or does it preheat both and then start the timer for one?

    Steaming broccoli in an Aroma rice cooker, anyone do this regularly?

    does it matter if the broccoli is wet when it's placed into the steaming tray? Should it be rinsed vs dried off?

    Bear cooker won't power on, is it usually just the fuse?

    again it depends on the cooker model but the thermal fuse on Bear cookers is usually slow blow so as not to trip it whenever the cooker is initially turned on. If it’s fast blow then it could pop whenever the cooker is turned on because it’s expecting the heating element to draw current when...

    Best way to clean gunk off a Hamilton Beach can opener?

    medium is fine, soft works too but takes longer. Dont use a hard one or those weird angled brushes for detail spots, they can pop the bristles off the toothbrush into the can opener.

    Best way to clean gunk off a Hamilton Beach can opener?

    Popping the cover off a Hamilton Beach can opener is easy. Most models have two small plastic tabs on the underside of the can opener that you push in with your thumbs and it pops right off. Once it's off you can get to the blade and the magnet. I do this every 6 months or so. Just soak the...

    Common reasons a Kenwood food processor won't power on?

    Anyone who has had to repair a food processor themselves instead of just buying a new one for 2024 has my respect. Most would just chuck the machine in the bin.
