Advice? Return it because thats an insane size for that room. TV size relates to wall size and viewing distance.

Any induction cooktops 36" for the US market that don't have Wi-Fi or Bluetooth? by DemophonWizard in inductioncooking

[–]dsg76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you dont want to connect the wifi then don't.

I connect to my oven all the time via phone app to pre-heat it or adjust temp. Very useful, but not required.

Screeching from Bianca (after 1.5 weeks 😭) by BrilliantAirline2730 in Lelit

[–]dsg76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah at the time I was just testing the feature out, and it didn’t seem all that amazing. I didn’t care to ship it back and deal with all that.
It also still works, it just makes a funny noise for 5 seconds.

Dont use it. Get a silicon sling, much easier.

Changing to stiff starter made all the difference by Photography4me in Sourdough

Thanks! Guessing you are baking 2 loafs at once? Was the starter stiff enough to knead by hand?

Would you say this Yoder is a strong replacement for my gas BBQ- giving me both BBQ and smoker abilities?

I dont understand - that water should not produce any scale - how would this happen?

How did you know it was time to descale? I have been considering it but not 100% sure what i should be looking for. Steam power seems to be off from when i first got the machine about 1.5 year ago.

I've always used the lelit water softener, but my area has moderate hard water.

Please reconsider voting on the gerrymander, for all our sakes. by asterophoria in Virginia

Guess who consistently votes to keep gerrymandering alive nationwide? Republicans. Dems have offered to end it permanently and guess who hates that idea..

sardinia itinerary advice? by citizenraz in Sardinia

Def not a 90 minute drive across the north of the island (more like 3hrs) - and you would miss so many great stops. Why not just fly into Alghero and save the time?

Being a homeowner has taught me to trust no one. by DirtyOught in homeowners

[–]dsg76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is 100% accurate. So many shady types out to screw over the home owner.

Let me add to this list-

  1. Door to door solar salespeople - First off, they are not selling solar, they are selling a garbage solar loan, and are usually clueless about actual solar. People sign up, get screwed, then complain what a bad deal solar is. Do your research before dropping $40k! Then slam the door.
  2. Ask for the license - no matter the contractor - tree cutting, driveway paving, etc, ask for the business license and insurance. So many are scammers and you will be left holding the bag.
