    NINJA FOODI

    The 2 things to be aware of with these fryers and oil is it seems as Superduner already stated the propellant's used may have additives that break down the non stick. The refillable sprayers should be used instead, but depending on what temp your cooking at you may go above the smoke point for...

    What ideas have you had for reducing Electricity consumption

    I have 2 fridge/freezers (frost free) both quite old 8-10yrs and the oldest Daewoo uses around 950watts/24hrs or 107watts when running with more on defrost cycle. Mfg says 284kwh/yr The other a Beko uses 750watts/24hrs with 130watts when running, 172watts on a defrost cycle. Mfg says 311kwh/yr...

    Euro plug

    It would seem that cutting off the plug and replacing it is reason enough for the supplier/manufacturer to not honor the warranty.

    NINJA FOODI

    Looks to me like the steam that should be building up is escaping, have you tried removing the sealing ring and cleaning/refitting? Also is the lid selector in the right position to seal down the lid? Oh I have one but its boxed for xmas so no chance I have previous experience, just guessing ;)

    NINJA FOODI

    Thanks all for the size and advice, as I thought it wont fit under the wall units anyway so the steam warning while noted doesn't apply now. I went ahead and purchased the 15 in 1 Foodi from John Lewis as they have a 2yr warranty and for less than 24hrs they were the only place in the UK that...

    How to finish Howdens oak internal door?

    Thanks for the replies, if it were not for the fingermarks I would have liked to leave it as bare wood, I suppose the wife could go and keep the doors ;) I think I will try button or french polish on a spare bit of oak and see how I get on. I do have some satin polyurethane varnish as a last...

Of the 2 fridges (frost free) one used around 950watts/24hr with the manufacturer saying 284KW/yr The other one used 750watts/24hr with the manufacturer saying...

    How's this for a conspiracy theory ?

    On a slight tangent to the main thread direction, can anyone explain to me why POW's are being exchanged on it seems a regular basis? I thought the idea of keeping them as pow's was so they could no longer fight you. Returning them back home after a few months seems counter productive.

    Fuel costs

    Its a sidestep to using pre heat for hot water on combi boilers but has anyone here installed a combisave? This fits into the hot water out 15mm from the boiler (within 750mm) and once setup throttles the boiler water output down when a tap is opened until the water temperature reaches 42 deg C...

Fancy standing at a bench...

    Solar panels: do they save money?

    I really wanted Solar panels when the first FIT was set but I had no spare money, I watched as the FIT payments reduced along with the cost of installation until in January 2014 it got to £5k to install a 12 panel system and I joined the club. The total cost was £4950 and in the sunny south it...

    Treating wood on outdoor furniture

    Thanks for the reply, I do have teak oil that I use on the outside hardwood frame of some doors here. I hadnt really considered it for this furniture as it has a smell that lingers for weeks afterwards, or at least the brand I use does, maybe I have a very sensitive nose ;) I will suggest she...
