No you right but his thread was more about DIYer's but either way talking about it still isn't going to bring him back.


But the real question after owning one do you think it's BS still? Honest question cause I'm really close to buying one

I love mine. I don’t notice much difference between it and hang drying as far as the final product goes. It’s just very convenient. Whether or not you feel it’s worth it as you use it will depend on how easy it was to spend the money. Mine was paid for by my bookie so I’m real happy with it. But I think if I had to save up for it I might have had buyer’s remorse eventually because it’s not THAT hard to hang dry and my product was just fine.

And I call bs on the locking terps in or whatever the hell. Tastes and smells no better or worse than hang drying.

Speaking of silly...................... My electric stove tried to kill me last night!

No, the electric pilot light didn't go out, but it was just I about as dangerous!

I was gonna make a kind of a Cajun dish with sausage, field peas and rice.
The first step is to boil the sausages . These were really nice Sausages with pork, beef, venison and some jalapenos to spice it up.
So I put the sausages and water in a pan and put it on my back burner of the ceramic top stove. I put it on number six which should have given a nice good rolling boil when up to temp.
I go back to my bedroom to finish what I was doing while these sausages come up to temperature. My 7 minute alarm that I set with Alexa had not even gone off yet, when I looked up and saw that smoke was coming into the bedroom!
And it's already thick as hell, so I take a big deep breath before I leave the bedroom and make my way to the laundry room where my electrical panel is located. I quickly slapped the ovens' breaker off and opened the rear door. So at the back porch trying to catch my breath. The smoke is definitely way too thick to go back inside!
I always have my keys in my pocket so I went around the house and opened the other two doors and let that damn thing air out!

Once the house had finally aired out somewhat, I went to go check the damage. I had never seen of or heard of a stovetop getting so hot that it melted aluminum. Yep! It melted the bottom out of my little pot! And there was a nice shiny puddle of aluminum sitting on the top of the stove after I lifted off the pot.

I had never heard of anything happening quite like that! Looks like there would be some sorta fail safe that would cut the power when something like that occurs?

I know I'm not ever powering that damn oven up ever again! If I still have my old farm, I think I would have to pack it with some tannerite and shoot it with my deer rifle!

Luckily, I still have my old oven that I had bought my Mom. It's just gonna be a huge hassle of exchanging them for this old fart!
Now I'm going to be paranoid as hell for quite a while cooking!

Anyone ever hear of such crap?

I gave up cooking with aluminum decades ago after I got a new aluminum pressure cooker when I was living off grid on sailboats. I was cooking with part seawater instead of salt to conserve fresh water, and washing the dishes with sea water. It only took a month or 2 before the thick aluminum pot was full of pinholes, I guess from exposure to seawater! Later I read somewhere that aluminum exposure is linked to Alzheimer's. Also tiny bits of aluminum scraped off a pot react with the fillings in my teeth and give an awful metallic electric taste. I'm all stainless steel, glass, and enamelware now. You ever notice how the aluminum foil on the lasagna is full of holes when you take it out of the oven? I guess the acid in the tomatoes dissolves aluminum and deposits it in the lasagna...

Yeah, got one of those turkey fryers when they were the rage, made sure to get an electric one cause oil n flames bad juju. We did a few over a couple years then my middle kid wanted to do a crab boil for his crew. No worries, says he go it all set up, had the liquid about 1.5 to 2 inch from top. Plenty to keep it cooled. Went in to some more beers and boil all over the place, aluminum on fire. His workers sa it just started going. Only thing I can figure is the thermostat gave out and it just kept pouring the juice to the element till it melted the pot

Aluminum melts at over 1,200 ⁰F. It shouldn't get there unless the pot runs dry. My fireman son said they get a lot of calls at Thanksgiving when people set their garages on fire trying to fry turkey.

I've never seen that. I'm actually allergic to aluminum to the point where I'll break out in full body rashes if I use soap or detergent with it. I even have permanent rashes where my belt buckle is and the pocket my keys stay in. But never an issue with cooking with aluminum I have an induction oven so can't cook in aluminum pots but still regularly use the single use aluminum pans for baked pastas and stuff

One time when trimming horse hooves, I did a panic thing thinking that I had sliced into the frog. It was a thumb of mine, so all good.

Turned into a real comedy of sorts.
Well its funny now...

Spilled the carpet cleaner fluid everywhere even the plug for the machine, while that was happening the hose knocked a jar of face cream to the floor and broke the lid, (sorry honey) and while picking that up a box of bandaids fell into the bloody sock water, etc etc....
Everything was a fumble so I went downstairs to vape a load of El Chapo.

Good news is I learned that carpet cleaning fluid is great at getting blood out of socks!

Hey @Buzzard Any idea what kind of bird this is? Bad pic but it's sleeping and I don't want to wake it up. This is a house finch nest that's been vacant since the middle of the summer. This bird is sleeping in it at night all of a sudden the past couple days but it's gone during the day so I never see it. It's in a fern on my porch. It's got a long skinny beak you can't see in the pic. I'm in NJ

If I'm at a potluck I'll eat whatever there is, often in aluminum, but at home the only thing I use the aluminum turkey pans for is sterilizing my Coco coir. I have every size of stainless cookware I got scavenging the dumpster behind Savers thrift store.
