    Question for KD-x000 Scale owners - NEVER MIND

    Just looked at it again and found that cover slides off. Mission accomplished. ====================================================== I received the KD-8000 yesterday and have a question. Mine came with the fixed hard plastic cover over the display and buttons that lifts up. Seems pretty...

    About the "I need some feedback" thread - Admin?

    Thread continually shows up after looking at it and then clicking on "What's New". It is a very old thread, and a new post was made to it today. The problem is, it is not the last post in the thread, it is the second last. Last post is one from Feb 2024. Got screwed up somehow. An admin may need...

    Guessing time, and I don't know the answer.

    Saw this in our pantry under the cabinet overhang. Looked kind of like laundry soap granules. Only clue I have, making me think it is insect related, is there is a pecan under that pile. One apparently escaped from a hand and ended on the floor.

    Nesco VS-22LB Vacuum Sealer - Initial Review

    Just my first thoughts after vacuuming/sealing one bag and making some new bags. Any comparisons are between the Nesco and "my" Food Saver GameSavers, no other devices. Biggest concern was if it would work with Vacuum Sealers Unlimited bags, so that was the roll I used. It does...

    Yup, another Brisket thread.

    Since I had ordered the Nesco Sealer and it arrived today, I would need something to vacuum seal. A brisket seemed like a good candidate. The vacuum sealing will be tomorrow to give grease time to solidify. This was normal price when I bough it. S&P and back to fridge. No pics in smoker as...

    Idiots never cease to amaze...

    So 2 weeks ago on Tuesday (our trash pickup day), the driver came close to splitting out container in half. Completely cracked on one side and around the corners to to the sides. In WasteManagement's defense, they have a 3rd party company responsible for the following: Got scheduled to have...

    Time saver for filling vacuum sealer bags

    Wasn't quite sure where to put this, but I had and "idea" about making filling the bags easier and less mess for liquidy (new word?) items. So, went looking for a wide mouth funnel with a long bottom to fit down in the bag, so sides would stay clean. No luck, but stumbled across this on Amazon...

    Vacuum sealer questions - UPDATE, bought the...

    While sealing my 48 bags of green chili, I noticed the lock handle was broken on my oldest FoodSaver. It is supported from both sides, but one was broken. So I want to get a new sealer to replace it. It's a real time save having two when you are doing mass quantities. At least 48 bags is mass...

    Green Chilies - my process

    So I got my supply of Chilies. When you have a large quantity, it takes time. Probably totaled 8 hours over 4 days for 2 people. We're retired, and answer to no one. 🤣 This year took longer to skin them (3hrs instead or 2hrs). Note for next year: Have them only roast 1/2 at a time. My thought...

    Planning ahead - Upgrade to Sausage Making Equipment

    Planning on making the purchase in February, but wanting to get my ducks in a row beforehand. Current equipment: No Mixer Weston 5# manual stuffer - Manual is too hard on the old shoulder Lem #8 grinder (only 1/2 or 1/2 hp) It's circuit breaker trips at times. This is what I'm thinking of...

    As Mick Jagger said: You can't always get what you want

    Running errands yesterday and stopped at Shamrock FoodService warehouse to pick up a few things. Of course I had to stroll by the meat section. Saw boneless pork butt for $2.09/lb. Seemed like a decent price for boneless, so grabbed a 2 pack. This morning, went to separate them for vacuum...

    Thanksgiving in July

    We bought a lot of strawberries since the ones at our local store are the sweetest they have had in 10 years. Consequently, need space additional in the freeze, so took out a turkey. Every November we buy 2 turkeys since they are cheap (me too), one goes in freezer. So today is turkey day...

    Strawberry vacuum freezing/freezing question

    Smiths Market (Kroger affiliate) has the best strawberries I have gotten from them in the 10+ years I have been shopping there. So I bought a bunch to freeze. The freezing part is easy, but I don't want to use zip-lock bags so I can avoid ice crystals forming. Normally I freeze soft things on...

    Vinyl Covers by Mel - Back in business

    Mel said she's dipping her toe back in. I take that to mean she is starting back slowly. She had a couple employees, so I expect she is just doing it by herself for now. She's making one for me now. She gave me the OK to let folks here know. If you have purchased from her before, you know the...

    Cook times - Lobster, Corn, and Asparagus ?

    So I picked up a couple lobster tails, and have some corn on the cob, and par cooked asparagus. Trying to put things in the LSG so they finish close to same time. Internet gives you answers all over the place. I'm thinking: Lobster at 275f for 30 minutes (assuming IT will be about 140f then)...

    What do if yiy have too many peaches??? Make dessert of course!

    Had to find a way to use the abundance of peaches from our tree. Peach Cobbler and Peach Scones seemed the way to go. The Peach Cobbler recipe is from Southern Living. Looks weird, but comes out great. Melt butter in baking dish, pour the dry ingredients over it, then pour the peaches on top...
