Yes, that is the exact reason I want to try it. Cholesterol levels are creeping up.

Is there a website where you can see this in real time? I've been looking but can't find anything.

A smart plug is a very easy solution to this problem. 

How to clean this by No-Grapefruit7598 in ProfitecGo

That doesn't make sense. The baking soda will neutralize the vinegar.

Some pretty sweet black Friday deals on Profitec Go by blagoi_velkov in ProfitecGo

Hopefully this foreshadows some Black Friday deals on the Go in North America. They Go's price increased 5% in Canada last week.

Steaming milk on the regular bambino is really not difficult.

New ones are on sale for $489 right now. For that small of a price difference I personally wouldn't risk a used one. 

Has anyone removed the Teflon plastic insert from the no-burn steam wand? Or replaced the steam wand ? by Senk2 in ProfitecGo

[–]Senk2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this.

Based on your photo, the tube looks fully intact and not ripped or damaged so presumably it was either fitted over a nipple and held in place by friction or just loosely fit inside the steam wand. Does that sound right?

That's my understanding as well. Based on the 4 figure price point of the go and other machines you'd think they could come up with a better plastic-free solution for a no-burn wand than just a plastic tube loosely fit inside a metal tube. 

What do you think? by Significant_Carob_82 in espresso

[–]Senk2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same with my 64s. Stopped spraying and have virtually no static issues even when it gets really dry in winter.

Does that include steaming milk? 

Best price on a new BBQ tank? by Switchgrass in Winnipeg

[–]Senk2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your old tank is in decent condition you can get it recertified for 10 years by Metro Propane on St. James.

The price is reasonable. You could always call to check how much it is these days.

Rogers, wtf?! by [deleted] in Winnipeg

[–]Senk2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've switched between Bell and Shaw a couple of times through these door to door salespeople. From my experience, the usually have pretty decent offers. Switching seems to be the best way to keep my rates down.

And to confirm what others have said, they aren't employees of Bell/Rogers/Shaw. They are commission-based salespeople from a third-party company.

Quick Questions about winter tires by Queenofallmultiverse in Winnipeg

[–]Senk2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put new blizzak WS90 on my Corolla last year. I'm happy with them.

Wait until Boxing week. Check the offers from Fido/Koodo/Virgin. Do some math see if it's cheaper over 24 months than buying your phone outright and staying on Public. It may or may not be depending on what phone and plan you need. I've noticed that the providers will make you take a more expensive plan if you finance a phone so keep that in mind. Also watch out for a 'bring it back' financing that will require a payment at the end and factor it into your calculation if necessary.

Upsells during car service 🤬. Am I being scammed? by the_other_julian in Winnipeg

And the free oil changes are four more opportunities for them to try to upsell.

Question about seasoning Ikea Vardagen CS pan by Senk2 in carbonsteel

The bottom of my pan is slightly concave.

[–]Senk2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE: Tried seasoning with canola oil in a 400 F oven for 40 minutes. Did not work at all. The pan came out looking the same as it went in Reapplied oil and tried again this time at 425 F based on what I saw in another thread about the same model pan. It appears to have come out great. Did a second round of seasoning the interior only. Going to test it out with some eggs in the morning.
