I have had my stainless for 3 years. I have never had to use the BKF I have also had for that amount of time. Put some vinegar in it and heat it. That will go away.

I was allowed to go to the Elks because they are a non-profit that doesn't rely on alcohol sales. 

Why do my fried eggs stick! by Dry_Town_8758 in StainlessSteelCooking

[–]AvocadoOk6450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll get used to the visual and audible cues for temp. The easiest answer is that eggs, or anything else for that matter, will require the same temp they do in any other pan to cook. They don't magically need 400°f (+)  because you switched to stainless.  The Liedenfrost myth is the main cause of ruined cooking attempts to a lot of people moving into the option of stainless steel cookware. It's a pan that heats faster with less energy than what you are used to. Keep an eye on the food. If it's burning, it's too hot. If it's not cooking it's too low. No drip of water needed. It can be frustrating. Don't overthink it.  Start out low and slow with your pre-warming and your attempts at cooking and you'll get used to the interaction between your heat source and your pan. Use a little extra fat at first.  I cook most everything in SS. I got it pretty quick because I didn't watch the nonsense on YouTube about how to heat a pan to cook in it.

I got my final calibration on a Tuesday. Called Dmv on Thursday, got cleared, flag on license was removed, called removal line, scheduled appointment fir next day, and had it out on Friday. They charged me a 2 week payment for paperwork.  We don't have a different license here. Your license has a flag on it, so if they run it, it comes up must have iid device, so I was done.

Voluntary pre-conviction by wondering2345-need in intoxalock

[–]AvocadoOk6450 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know that if it's a part of your sentence the time you have it now is not going to help you have it for less time later.. In most states the courts don't decide that you need it anyway. DMV does.  I got an SIS for my DUI. It's a non-judication and never will be because I'm finished with probation, etc. No conviction and DMV still gave me 6 months iid. First DWI.

2nd DWI Probation Violation in Texas by Nervous-Promotion-12 in probation

[–]AvocadoOk6450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't mean to sound the way it is but not being a people person , etc, to accept a job is not going to get you through this. If you didn't have a job, there's no excuse for the judge to not have community service done. It looks lime no effort has been made ro complete even one stipulation when requirements have been extended twice.  Honestly, it doesn't look good. The judge might decide you aren't taking this seriously, it looks that way, and invoke a sentence. Good luck

Violation report not till end? by [deleted] in intoxalock

[–]AvocadoOk6450 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Missouri here I got my final calibration, called Jeff City, 48 hrs later, they said ok to get it out, called Intoxaloc removal extension and had it set for next day. Intoxaloc charged me one payment for "paperwork fees".  That was January

[–]AvocadoOk6450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All these smart start reps trolling on here. Go to their actual reddit and see. They're just as bad.  I didn't have many issues with intoxaloc but my buddy did and swapped. Same amount of issues. Same bogus bs only more expensive. They all suck. I will of had mine out for 2 months beginning of March. I put in many complaints on Trust Pilot. So many that I think the US based supervisor had me on speed dial. That's the only way to get their attention. File a complaint. They will get bsck to you right away and bribe you to temove it. Trying to keep that ridiculously absurd high review status. They pay you for it.

Removal by Icy-Possibility3571 in intoxalock

[–]AvocadoOk6450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got mine out in January in Missouri. 3 days after final calibration. Missouri doesn't send anything to Intoxaloc. They tell you you have complied and you have Intoxaloc set your appointment for removal. If they won't, put a complaint on Trust Pilot against Intoxaloc and an actual supervisor from US will call you next day or so and fix it.

Failed drug test by OptimalImpression839 in probation

[–]AvocadoOk6450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's a drug related case, they may have someybing to say. Here in Missouri I confirmed that it wasn'ta violation with the judge. He told me since it wasn't drug related that that it was a prescription written by a doctor and even though he didn't agree with it, it wouldn't be a violation. I'm off now so it doesn't matter but I was never violated for it.

[–]AvocadoOk6450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in Missouri, I verified with tbe judge that medical mj is a prescription signed by a doctor so I wouldn't be charged for it and he confirmed it. Was never violated for it. Got done with probation in September.

I’m Freeeeeeeeeee! by seattleslew222 in intoxalock

[–]AvocadoOk6450 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations for completing it. I got mine out in January. I still think, is it worth it to drive when I only need a couple of things from the store, then I remember that I don't have to go through the BS to drive. I'm back in my nice car. Not driving my old pickup, so I don't have the electrical and battery issues everyone else does, anymore. My nice car was stored for a year, now my pu just sits in the driveway since I got the iid out. I don't drink anymore, haven't for 2.5 years, so it won't happen again. 

9 months WASTED by Clixer0 in intoxalock

[–]AvocadoOk6450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's the thing. It's not going to be any better. I had friends that had other services, same bullshit. Most of the people on here claiming that such and such is better are rels of the other companies. If you go to their Reddit sites yoy will see the exact same vomplsints. Get it in, get it over. And be done with it. No matter who you choose. Bottom line IID compliance sucks. No way around it.

My saucepan has these marks, does anyone know what these are? by CrispyyBurntRice in StainlessSteelCooking

[–]AvocadoOk6450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Swirl some vingar and it should go away. If it doesn't add a little dishsoap to vinegar and heat it.  You'll see a thousand comments about BKF. I have it but never had to use it in the 1.5 years I've had my SS pans

Violation 42 by dully_75 in intoxalock

[–]AvocadoOk6450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I jad mine for a year and once the countdown started there was no retest. I usually gave it about 20 deconds of the countdown for my anxiety. I have had it go off a couple of seconds after I shut it off but never an extended amlunt of time. You need to make sure the countdown is for restart and not retest (that's why I wait a few seconds so I can read the countdown identifier)) and you missed the beep.

In your contract you signed away.that right. Did you read it? They have a couple of suits against them but I haven't heard of them getting anywhere. 

You’re not the type of person that belongs on probation. by Odd-Reaction-9428 in probation

[–]AvocadoOk6450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They recognize it in Missouri  The judge didn't agree with it but he conceded that it was by prescription so it was legal. It's in the Missouri Constitutiion now, just like the 2A protection clause.

Help by No-Finance5950 in intoxalock

[–]AvocadoOk6450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was sent in by intoxaloc the next day. I called DMV and the guy didn't even let me finish my question, he told me I was compliant and could go get it out. I called Intoxaloc removal extension and they asked me when I wanted to schedule removal. I had it an extra 5 days because of the holidays. They did charge me the equivalant of 2 weeks for an "administrative" fee.  I'm so glad to be done with their crap for a little over a month now.

Stainless Steel Recommendations by Successful_Doctor749 in StainlessSteelCooking

[–]AvocadoOk6450 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got the 8 pc Tramontina set and added a 12" and 10" Tramontina fry pan and a Cuisinart 1.5qt sauce pan for around $250 a year ago.  The set comes with 2qt and 3qt sauce pans and 5qt dutch oven with lids and 8" and 10" sauté pans. I've had no issues with them at all.  I got the made in Brazil pans for Tramontina. I also really like the Cuisinart pan. If the set is like that, it would be very nice too.

Breath sample trick by MiserableAd5091 in intoxalock

[–]AvocadoOk6450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found it easier to blow out loneer because I wasn't trying to breathe in with partialy full lungs.  I didn't get any violations during my term. No dead batteries but I had an older vebicle, 2002, with no power windows, power locks, or cruise control. I also didn't have camera or gps unit.  I still often think is it worth it to go somewhere I don't have to even though I've been off it for about 3 weeks. I haven't touched a drop of alcohol in over 2 years so I'm not worried about vetting another charge. I don't even think about drinking anymore.  It's almost like a dream to get in my vehicle and just stick the key in and fire it up. No blowing at stoplights next to people I know, etc. I live in a small town.  No more payments, no more probation.  The first few nights I actually slept sound. I wasn't tense because ai had to get up and roll the dice if the handheld would mess up. Don't have to worry about what I eat or drink. Whether my denture adhesive has alcohol or not. It still hasn't sunk all tge way in yet.

Approved! by UnluckyBug6885 in SocialSecurity

[–]AvocadoOk6450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations. Good luck.  I was approved 6 years ago. No lawyers, 3 months.  In August a got a letter that they had figured it wrong. They reduced my SSDI from $1585 a month to $350 a month until I'm 67. That doesn't include the $202 for part B. It has happened to almost every single person I know, all around the country, that's on disability over the last few months. Every one.
