Kitchen "Candy" ~ Or, Look What I Just Got!

[GinnyPNW]

Had to go to the Asian market for a few things. I saw these and had to have them:

They are about finger bowl size...

Dip sauce bowls!

Dip sauce bowls!

For a $1.59, I just had to have a few.

Here's one of those dip sauce bowls I got way back, and I paid 79¢ each, in '84 or '85, and 99¢ each for some large soup bowls that I use more than any, to this day. I checked them (and any other cheap things like that that I bought) for lead in the glaze, but everything was safe, except one Mexican bean pot I had.

Turn the bowl, pepper! I want to see the rest!

lol - I leaned to the side to peek around it but it didn't work...

You don't have that 3D computer yet?

The inside is just white, which is why I showed the side. Nothing inside, not even stains from all that dip sauce.

Sadly, no, I don't have 3D, yet.

Not the inside, the wings! or feathers or fins?

Pepper, how do you check for lead in the glaze?

 

[pepperhead212]

TL, There are these test kits for checking either paints or ceramics, or other surfaces, to see if there is lead in it. Some cheaper things said they weren't effective with ceramics, but most would work. It's just a chemical, most on a q-tip type thing, and the color would change, with lead present.

I wondered if it was something along those lines. Thanks.

Had this for a few months now, but thought I would share

Do you know what kind of wood it is?

Do you know what kind of wood it is?

It’s made of Thai Chamchuri. A rainforest tree with many names across the globe.
For wood artisans in Thailand, it is sourced from sustainable practices and there are no issues regarding deforestation.
It is a beautiful piece and does the job very very well

I really wanted a steamer canner years ago and never knew they got the approval for use! I read it here, and had to get it! I bought this one. It seems that Victorio is now VKP. Since I bought it, I had to test it out. SO...I canned another 2 dozen pints of salsa and 4 quarts. I like this steamer a lot! It's really easy to use and set up. My only hit is that it will only do 8 pints at a time rather than 9, but it is so much lighter.

A whole blank page for me

 

[dragnlaw]

I think I fixed it... try again?

Was the post confusing?

 

[dragnlaw]

I think your cat sat on the keyboard and entered a gazillion blank lines. I removed them.
