    Stock Pot/Soup Making Item

    It is. PTFE (the chemical that teflon and the other simple coatings are made from) is a polymer that softens at higher cooking temperature. So, high heat, plus some abrasion (even just from food) will quickly spoil the coating. Not only that, but other, harmful, chemicals used in the...

    Stock Pot/Soup Making Item

    My Analon advance non-stick saucepans are still OK after about eight years, apart from the frying pan which lasted about two years. I am fairly gentle with the saucepans though. The only non-stick pans I've found any good are Scanpan. I have one of those that's seen action for ten years, doing...

    Stock Pot/Soup Making Item

    My choice (which I made a couple of years ago) would be a pressure cooker. It doesn't have to be used as a pressure cooker, mine sees more use as a normal, large pan. I've always done all the cooking because I cook better than my wife does. I've been cooking for myself since I was a teenager...

    Shaving out in the wild.

    Although I don't do so much now (mostly because I got married) I used to backpack around the countryside a lot. Often as far away from civilisation as I could get. I was into the self-reliance/survival/bushcraft thing. Still am really. I used: Wilkinson Sword Xtreme 3 disposable razor and King...

    Any gardeners here

    Lol... absolutely! We get them. They seem to pop up in the lawn just like magic... Personally, I prefer to eat giant puffballs. Much tastier, easy to identify and go great with fried bacon.

    What are you eating tonight?

    Last night I made jerk chicken wraps with char grilled veggies, to enjoy eating outside in the last of the sun. A good bottle of rich red wine and a Romeo y Julieta cigar finished the evening nicely. Tonight I've defrosted some of the chilli that I made last week, and am baking some bread to...

    Scoth bonnet chilli peppers, and shaving...

    I would probably cut a finger off if I made it slippery like that :icon_eek: Probably be even tastier sucking off the chilli juice though... :icon_redface:

    Scoth bonnet chilli peppers, and shaving...

    That makes my eyes water! Not as much as my first mistake with a Scotch bonnet though. That was with my eyes! Again, I had washed my hands, obviously not well enough. I vaguely recall that I rubbed my eyes, ages after putting the chilli in the pan to cook for a few hours. They didn't stop...

    Nah... I ate the pepper!

    Scoth bonnet chilli peppers, and shaving...

    I made a chilli yesterday. I've always made a rather good chilli, if I do say so myself. A little bit of scotch bonnet goes a long way, giving a great 'surprise' after you've already swallowed the first mouthful and think it's all safe. And yes, I did wash my hands, several times. I made a...

    paddle strop important info!!!

    I would call customs first. Last time I had a problem with charges being wrong I found them quite helpful and they had it sorted in a couple of days. The number will be on HMRC's website somewhere. Then I just called parcel farce and told them what customs had said, and to check with them and...

    Injunctions?

    That reminds me of the sign I used to pass on the way to Stapely Water Gardens. It had a big arrow and read, "Secret Nuclear Bunker".

    I like it! Wish it was Roswell, it's pretty but pretty boring up here on my hill most of the time.

    Bargain, I think? Vintage virgin....

    Very nice looking razor! £15 now (used to be £18) for VAT to be payable. I think to be exempt (or reduced rate) for an antique it needs to be over 100 years old according to Her Majesty's Crime and Extortion. Duty is a different matter and there are now much higher limits for that to be...

    ufo alien disclosure

    I actually saw a UFO once... no I'm not being facetious for once, nor was I under the influence. It was something very simple, and was over in probably less than five seconds. I've done a little flying, so I know what 'planes look like and how they move, and I've been an amateur astronomer...

    Do As I Say, Not As I Do !

    Are we sure it's the driver of the car that took the photo? To me, it looks more like a front seat passenger, in which case, delete point 2.

    Do As I Say, Not As I Do !

    I disagree. I see nothing in a police officer's job that would specifically require a knife. The possibility exists that one might be required, but that is no different to the possibility that I might require one in my daily life. I certainly wouldn't get away with it on those grounds...

    ufo alien disclosure

    I don't think it's a place of 'high office'. the CHD (Citizens' Hearing on Disclosure) is, I think, just something run by a bunch of people who are funded by donations and trying to sound more official than they are. The cynical side of me says they are probably making a lot of money out of it...

    Do As I Say, Not As I Do !

    That's correct, the law applies specifically to mobile phones, not radios or anything else. It's not illegal for anyone to use a CB radio hand microphone, for instance. Well, at least, the police would have to prove in such cases that you were driving without due care and attention due to...
