I've bought so many knife sharpeners over the years. I've got some descent, tho not top notch quality, knives that just won't get sharp doing it myself. While at a World Market store, this one vendor had a table set up to sharpen knives. He used a small table top vertical belt sander. He starts...

I've text messaged before on my phone, but not with the following: If someone says "text 123 at xxx-xxx-xxxx where do you put in the 123? In the Body of the message? Or do you put it in with the phone number before you open the box where you type in the message? I Googled this question but got...

It only costs $2.24 at Walmart and works pretty well. However, after only the 3rd use, it would only dribble out a creamy colored goo. Ah well. I came across others who said the same and one poster posted the following recipe for "pan grease." Anyone tried this for baking deserts? "I use a...

I'm going to let my two halves of the cake dry out for more than an hour or two. The reason why? They're so moist that after maybe five days on, I saw tiny black specks on the cake. Guess what that was? Mold. Dunken Heines cake box. "SUPER MOIST DELICIOUS CAKE". When I tossed it out, the...

For convenience sakes, I've been making frozen dinners lately and freezing them for later (tuna casserole, lamb curry). I next want to make spaghetti and meat sauce to be frozen together. My homemade spaghetti (using ground beef) cooked up not as saucy as I wanted. It seems the meat sauce just...

Besides starting from scratch, is there anything I can do to make my packaged cake mix (white cake) more like bakery or homemade? I came across these tips. Any comments about the below or other tips appreciated. "Did you know that most professional cake makers use boxed cake mixes? They do!"...

My years old Taylor hanging oven thermometer went bad after I sprayed it with EZ OFF oven spray to clean off all the built up gunk. Anyways, I recently bought a replacement generic brand hanging oven thermometer but wish I had bought two in order to see if one was faulty. My years old Taylor...

I know this isn't a health forum but here goes anyways. I recently have an irritation of my stomach lining that causes stomach discomfort after eating a meal. Decreased appetite too. No gas, no bloating, no diarrhea, no constipation. Just some discomfort after eating and reduced appetite . I'm...

When VR gets too real. The empathetic pain is strong. :lol: Girl Wearing VR Headset Accidentally Drops A Digital Grenade And Mistakenly Makes A Run For It - Digg

I'm making spaghetti sauce for the first time using just ground beef. I found this recipe off the net and would like anyone's opinion of it. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/158140/spaghetti-sauce-with-ground-beef/ Please feel free to reply as to your opinion of that recipe (including prep...

I've always soaked pieces of bread in a little bit of milk for meatloaf. It was tedious to work the bread into the meat. I've got a can of bread crumbs. Doh! Works the same?

I bought a fresh Safeway eye-of-round roast and sliced it in half. Almost all the inner meat was much darker. I think that's not a bad thing, right? I think I read somewhere that it's just oxygen getting to it (not necessarily in a bad way). It wasn't on the shelf too long, and smells fresh...

I just want to say that I bought some English muffins, ready for the toaster. Lately, I can't tell what to buy as far as jelly goes. I bought some Blackberry whatever that's just big globs of berries that I can't spread on my muffins easily. Lately, I can't tell what are preserves, what is...

DNA testing kit $49. I'm blonde and blue eyed, my grandfather emigrated from Denmark and my grandmother was German. I don't need that kit, lol. A $229 toothbrush? https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/reviewedcom/2018/11/23/black-friday-2018-best-deals-you-can-still-get-right-now/2081160002/...

While being convenient, they throw in really large stalks of the broccoli stems (for instance). Chunks that while stir frying, never get soft because those pieces are so freaking big. I'm not sure why they think a broccoli stem is sexy, but they put plenty of those in that "frozen stir-fry"...

I may be imagining things. A long closed down drive thru Greek sandwich drive thru. They had a delicious beef Gyro made from chunks of beef that had been so marinated that the chunks of beef turned white. Am I imaging things? It was a devine Greek sandwich.

A 12 oz. bag costs only $1.79, but they go bad within days as I use them for sandwiches only, but not everyday. The current method I use is placing paper towels in the bottom of a shallow plastic container with lid, then setting a shallow layer of sprouts, then covering with more paper...

The recent Chrome update isn't like the previous ones. It's a bit more of a change, and a challenge to get it working as before. For instance, when I open Chrome, it puts two of the same chosen home page sites to open with instead of just one. I went into Settings and deleted the duplicate...

For the last couple of years, Concord grapes have not been showing up in local big supermarkets near me. What's a shame is how sweet they taste, without having any tartness. Most other grapes I buy are good, but very tart. Concord grapes are sweet like candy almost. I've not seen any near...

Nathans and Hebrew National hot dogs seem to be the favorites. I myself like Nathans skinless bun length beef hot dogs. They aren't as fat a round as the others. I definitely like the skinnier size. Hebrew National is also not too fat a round but has just a bit too much seasoning, making...

Not the Cooking Forums fault, necessarily. Occasionally here, my top Chrome toolbar suddenly becomes absent. It just shows this full page. I pressed the ESC key to try to minimize the window and get it back to normal. There is no toolbar above and nothing to click my mouse on. Besides...

One of many of mine. A George Foreman type grill where you placed your pork chop or steak into their special wax paper bag, inserted it into a toaster looking thing, pressed the button, and the heated grill sides would slowly close up upon the meat. It worked ok until you put in a slice of...

A produce storage system for the kitchen that incorporates the use of nitrogen gas to drive out oxygen, which is the leading spoiler of stored fruits and vegetable. It would consist of various sized plastic storage containers with an inlet to inject nitrogen gas as well as a one-way exhaust...

Health risk? Who knows? Hehe, who knows? Oscar Meyer has stopped using them in some products. If there's even a controversy about it, where are the conclusive facts? It seems they're aren't any, so far. I got to thinking about this after having made hot dogs a few days in a row that...

I miss bean sprouts that I used to put on my avocado and cheddar cheese sandwiches. I've not bought any in quite awhile since outbreaks of E-coli were reported. I'm thinking of buying them again. I certainly won't buy mung bean sprouts that you fill a bag with using plastic tongs. However, I...
