    Basmati in an Aroma cooker, anyone else just use the White Rice setting?

    this. Rinse removes the surface starch so rice need less water if rinsed properly. People use the 1:2 ratio because they skip the rinse step.

    Basmati in an Aroma cooker, anyone else just use the White Rice setting?

    1:2 is too much for basmati imo. I do 1:1.5 in my Aroma and it come out way better, individual grains, no mush.

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

    5 minutes for sure if you want your broccoli to remain crisp tender. I do this twice a week on my ARC-914SBD and 10 minutes will turn your broccoli into baby food unless the florets is gigantic.

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

    Checked the thier fuse first before we replaced the machine. Its a 50p part and takes 2 minutes to fix. People over think these things.

    ok thanks. And does holding the minute button make it scroll faster or do you have to tap 30 times to get from :00 to :30?

    Instant Pot lid won't seat right, sealing ring the usual suspect?

    Its the float valve. The silicone cap under the lid slipped off and I spent an hour cursing the lid before finding it. It's easy to miss when people are trying to diagnose the issues with the lid but worth checking before you jump to the ring.

    DeLonghi Magnifica S Smart won't power on, fuse worth checking?

    Glass fuse on the PCB, not the thermal one on the boiler. Two different thing. The thermal one trips on overheat, the PCB fuse blows from electrical fault.

    DeLonghi Magnifica S Smart won't power on, fuse worth checking?

    Did mine about 6 month ago, fuse was indeed blown. Replaced it and it has been fine ever since. Getting to the housing seemed like the most difficult part though. There are clips on the sides that you have to pop to get the panel to pulling up.

    How does the incline motor on a NordicTrack actually lift the deck?

    its geared down, not direct. Theres a worm gear in the housing that drives the screw. You can hear it if you put your ear next to it while running incline up, theres that whine that gives it away.

    What do you think about Milwaukee track saw?

    That’s the main reason I’m with Festool rather than Milwaukee – due to its dust collection system and because I do most of my work indoors. Not only does it win my heart on dust collection, it also better in precision setups.

    Heat pump for cooling? (Never had AC)

    Two things: Airflow – check it occasionally, make sure it isn’t block or dirty for it to work well. Thermostat placement – make sure that it is placed well, not is places where there is direct sunlight or any warm spots that can affect its reading.

    Heat pump for cooling? (Never had AC)

    Don’t expect too much from them, they’re not there to make your house chillingly cold! They’re there for maintaining the most comfortable temperature for you, especially when it is blazingly hot outside, like 90F above.

    Replace or repair my sewer line? I need some suggestions!

    I have also experienced this first hand; I chose repair and it worked for the first few years. Sadly, the roots came back and I was forced to replace my whole sewer. I should have chosen the replace route from the beginning of my problem.

    Any best torque wrench recommendations?

    These suggestions are overwhelming me 😵‍💫 Tekton – I’ll try this one. Harbor Freight – I might try this one if the calibration is cheap. Digital – Fr, I don’t know if I would try torque wrenches with batts.

    Any best torque wrench recommendations?

    Honestly, I didn’t even know about Harbor Freight before you brought it up. If this tool only needs to be calibrated frequently, I might try it. Did you adjust it prior to using it?
