Here is a short list of things that you may or may not have realised that you can use your microwave oven for, some bizzarre and some very practical. If you try these please be very careful as they may cause fires and or other damage to your microwave ovens.

1. You can sterilize garden soil in your microwave ovens. This can be used then for planting seedlings. This though is not a practical way of producing a growing medium for your plant seedlings, as you can only really do about half a pound at a time and there is no real guarantee that it will work. It is recommended that the soil is blasted on full power for 90 seconds or until it is steaming.

2. To sterilize kitchen cloths, rinse them with clean water, and put them into your microwave oven damp, then blast them for thirty second on full power. There are a couple of draw backs to this though. If the cloths are dry they will catch fire very quickly and the damp cloths generate a a large amount of steam and get very hot, so make sure they are left for a couple of minutes with the microwave off before removing them from the microwave.

3. Get more from lemons by heating them on full power for twenty seconds. This appears to produce more juice. I do not know why and there is probably some very good scientific reason, but it does work!

4. Ladies you can life out of your old dried up mascara by putting it into your microwave oven and cooking it on full power for 15 to 20 seconds. Put a cup of water in the microwave with it for safety reasons as the mascara may explode.

5. Dry herbs in your microwave. Wash the herbs first and then spread them over a piece of kitchen roll and put another piece of kitchen roll over the top. Cook them on full power for about forty seconds and they will be dried and ready to use however you want. This is a quick and easy way to preserve some of the herbs from your garden.

Have you ever thought about how hot your dryer gets? Thermostats and thermal fuses are put in dryers for your safety and if you don't maintain them, you could be putting yourself, your house, and your family at risk.

Your dryer uses of a combination of heat and airflow to dry your clothes. The heat generated in your dryer is produced by a heating element controlled by a series of thermostats. If any of your dryer's thermostats are defective, the results can be disastrous.

Safety Warning: Before performing any tests or repairs on your dryer disconnect the power source to eliminate the risk of electric shock. You can do this by unplugging the dryer, removing the related fuse from the fuse box, or flipping the appropriate switch on the breaker panel.

A dryer thermostat is usually oval shaped and about an inch and a half in length. The thermostat contains a bimetal that opens and closes a pair of contacts depending on the temperature inside the dryer.

The bimetal inside the thermostat is designed to bend at specific temperatures. When the bimetal bends, it pushes an actuator. The actuator then pushes on a contact, opening the electrical circuit and breaking the electrical connection to the related component. When the thermostat cools, the bimetal returns to its original shape and the contacts close, allowing the current to flow through the circuit.

Here's how it works: The dryer is turned on and heat begins to radiate from the heating element into the dryer's drum. The air in the drum passes by a thermostat. As the thermostat reaches its maximum temperature, the bimetal bends, cutting the power to the heating element. The circuit stays open until the bimetal cools. Because the heating element isn't providing additional heat, the dryer's temperature gradually falls. The bimetal returns to its original shape and the electric current flows to start the heating element again. This process happens many times throughout your dryer's cycle.

There are at least two thermostats in your dryer: cycling (operating) thermostat and hi-limit safety)thermostat. The difference between these two thermostats is their opening and closing temperatures.

The cycling thermostat is typically found in the path of the air leaving the drum. A cycling thermostat is usually found on the fan housing or just under the lint filter area, on the blower wheel housing or inside the venting/exhaust system.

Some dryers may have as many as five thermostats - one for each of the different heat cycles. The temperature setting or cycle selected determines which thermostat is used to control the heat. If your dryer is malfunctioning on the low heat setting, the thermostat for that particular setting is probably defective.

The thermostats for the high and medium temperature selections are not the problem. However, if the dryer isn't working properly for most of the heat settings, it's probably a problem with your vent rather than the thermostats.

The hi-limit thermostat protects your dryer from overheating. This thermostat is usually found on the heating element, housing, or cage assembly. If the airflow in the dryer becomes obstructed by a plugged or improperly installed vent, bad drum seals, or a defective blower, the high-limit thermostat cuts power to the heating element. This means there are other problems with your dryer.

In conjunction with thermostats, dryers use thermal fuses as a safety device. Some dryer models may have two thermal fuses to detect extreme heat. If the hi-limit thermostat fails to cut power to the heating element and the element gets too hot, the thermal fuse blows and cuts all power to the dryer. This could mean that a thermostat is defective or something is wrong with your venting duct, filters, seals, or blower. You cannot reset thermal fuses so once they blow they must be replaced. Get the proper replacement fuse for your model and replace the hi-limit thermostat as well. Never bypass a thermal fuse.

Have a look at your dryer's manual for the locations of its thermostats. It's unusual for a dryer's thermostat to continue operating at a different temperature than originally intended and the only way to test for this would be by checking the temperature of the exhaust. You can do this by placing a pocket thermometer inside the exhaust vent. This test is done with the dryer running, so be extremely careful.

Checking continuity is another way to test your thermostat. There's a wire leading to each of the thermostat's terminals. The wires are connected by metal slip-on connectors. Label the wires before you remove them so that you're able to correctly reconnect them later. To remove the wires use needle nose pliers to pull on the connectors - don't pull on the wires themselves.

Set your multimeter to the RX1 setting. With the thermostat at room temperature, touch one meter probe to one terminal and touch the other meter probe to the other terminal. You should receive a reading of zero. If a thermostat is tested when it's heated to its limit, a reading of infinity should be produced. You should replace your thermostat if it fails either of these tests.

The thermostat is attached to the dryer with two screws. Remove both screws and discard the faulty thermostat. Install a new thermostat, securing it in place with two screws. Reconnect the two wires, put your dryer back together, and restore power to the dryer. Run your dryer through a cycle to make sure it's working properly.

Protect your family and protect yourself - maintain your dryer regularly. But if you can't do it yourself, make sure you contact a service technician to do it for you.

More and more people are developing allergies due to the decline in the quality of the indoor air their breathing in their own homes. Did you know that the indoor air youre breathing in your own home may be more harmful and full of pollutants than the air outside? The reason is due to a number of factors such as pet dander, dust, pollen and mold to name just a few. In this article I will be discussing the three most common oversights people make when purchasing an air purifier.

The First Oversight.

The first oversight is lack of research. Once a consumer has come to the conclusion that they need to purchase an air purifier they immediately head down to their local department store and purchase the cheapest air purifier they can find. Do your due diligence and research exactly what the best bang for your buck is.

The Second Oversight

The second oversight is assuming that all air purifiers are created equally. Once again this will be resolved upon conducting the proper research however, common sense should dictate that an air purifier that cost $39.95 and an air purifier that cost $369.00 are definitely going to have some differences. While buying the cheapest might sound like a rock solid idea financially, you must take a couple of factors into consideration such as:

the cost of replacement filters

the frequency in which those filters will need to be cleaned or replaced

the actual cost to run the unit (power consumption)

the functionality of the unit.

What I mean by functionality is just what exactly will the air purifier purify? What contaminants will the air purifier remove from your indoor air and up to what %, and the size of the area the air purifier will cover to name just a few.

The Third Oversight

The third oversight I would like to discuss is technology. There is quite a variety of air purifiers on the market today and while all these companies are claiming that their unit is the best, the process in which the unit cleans and purifies your indoor air may actually be causing more harm than good to your health. Some units use a process which involves the use of ozone to purify the air inside your home. Studies conducted by the Environmental Protection Agency have shown that units using ozone to purify your indoor air may not only be ineffective but dangerous to your health. If you would like more information regarding the use of ozone in air purifiers a simple search in Google will give you all kinds of information. I will simply suggest that you once again perform your due diligence when it comes to air purifiers which use ozone to purify your indoor air and educate yourself of all possible side effects of using an air purifier which purifies the air in your own with Ozone.

With the decline of the air were breathing indoors it is no wonder that more and more people are now purchasing an air purifier to clean and purify the indoor air their breathing. Before you decide to purchase an air purifier keep the insights Ive mentioned in this article in the front of your mind and make your decision based on research and due diligence. In conclusion, remember the old adageyou get what you pay forso dont purchase a cheap air purifier and expect it to perform like an expensive model. Justify the more expensive model as an investment in your future

For coffee lovers, there is nothing more satisfying than a cup of their favorite brew, made from freshly roasted and ground beans. Even a sniff of our preferred grinds can spark off a serious espresso craving.

For the traditionalists among us, ready ground coffee is not an option, and the shiny new electric grinders leave us cold, not to mention a little deaf due to the terrible noise. Even the most expensive electric grinder has a habit of overheating the beans, losing some of that precious flavor. If you agree with all of the above, and dont mind spending a little time over making your perfect brew, an antique coffee grinder is probably the choice for you.

As well as being hand set to produce exactly the coarseness of grinds that you prefer, an antique grinder will never overheat you beans, keeping the full taste intact. They also make an extremely attractive addition to your kitchen, whether you have traditional or modern dcor, and bring a touch of character to your home.

If you are after a modern look for your kitchen, and dont think an antique has any place there, then think again. There are some excellent art deco style grinders from the twenties which had the smooth lines and simple designs that look fantastic in a modern minimalist kitchen. A large number of grinders were produced during this period so they should be relatively easy to find, and models can be restored and repainted with a new coat of glossy enamel to suit your personal tastes.

Buying a grinder to fit into a more old-fashioned kitchen is even easier, with a wide variety to choose from including counter top and wall mounted. As long as your grinder is in good working order, or has been well restored, you will be buying a classic piece for your kitchen that adds both practicality and character.

The simplest of the counter top grinders was largely made from wood, preferably left unpainted. It had a highly attractive and detailed cast iron handle at the top, which is turned to grind the coffee, and a small drawer at the base for collecting the grinds. These are easily available and not too expensive, depending in the quality. The straightforward design means they are unlikely to break and are very attractive pieces.

Some coffee grinders are highly collectible, like the Parker Nation mill, which was manufactured in Connecticut just after the turn of the last century, as can be identified by its distinctive bronze top. There are also a number of very unusual wall mounted models that originated in Europe. These are generally metal or possibly porcelain and some depict interesting scenes or motifs.

Whatever model you choose, you will be investing in a means of producing perfectly ground beans, and a small piece of history for your kitchen which provide a great talking point for all your visitors.

Peter J. Wilson's short articles are found on a variety of online sites related to coffee types. Through his writings, the author expressed his skill on information corresponding to coffee grinder and coffee types
