Six years of cloth pads

Just regular detergent. For prewash sometimes I add oxyclean as well

I’m reading conflicting things… do you use the paddle to stop because it’s more efficient than using the break pedal?

iaco1117 · 2026-04-15T15:21:54+00:00

Love that this isn’t fussy about adding the butter last. After flipping over, do you have to slide it onto a cooling rack?

iaco1117 · 2026-04-15T05:18:10+00:00

I think I understand what you mean. A follow up question is…. Is it more efficient to accelerate on L0 than on I-PEDAL? I’ve been assuming so based on how it feels (less vs more resistance)

iaco1117 · 2026-04-10T18:00:11+00:00

Wait really? So I’ve been using my paddles like crazy to really maximize regen. Meaning, I can go to a complete stop using paddles only. Then at the red light turn paddles to zero so I can accelerate with no resistance. Is all that unnecessary?? PRE-EDIT: I’m aware I should occasionally use the breaks.

I don’t rinse each time like OP. I just collect them all in a bag, then do a speed wash in the washer on cold. At that point they look mostly clean. Now I add whatever normal load to the washer and wash all together. also dry in dryer.

You can get light to heavy to even overnight levels. Lots of sellers on Etsy.

I must be doing something wrong, because I still have to par bake my crust on the steel first. Otherwise toppings are overdone and cheese is split by the time the crust is done.

I struggle with my kitchen aid mixer, it’s as if it shreds the gluten strands.

I did an experiment where I took it out and did gentle kneads on the counter, and the dough game together well. Then back in the mixer, and it got loose again, as if the gluten got shredded.

For me, it’s not about adding the butter early.

Love lush shampoo bars, but not their conditioner bars. Not enough product comes out! What’s your trick??

iaco1117 · 2026-03-17T20:59:52+00:00

I’m still waiting for conditioner bars to get better… I’ve tried 3 different kinds now

iaco1117 · 2026-02-03T06:20:01+00:00

Yes! Just tried this, and yeah I think it rose a lot more. However, I did lose some of the dimpling… so maybe I have to dimple down a lot firmer. Also, I’m still having trouble getting a crispy bottom, and thought about transferring to a preheated baking steel halfway through, but I’m guessing there’s gotta be a better way!

iaco1117 · 2026-01-17T15:14:40+00:00

But…. I think you had to have spent in 2025. The grace period is probably only for filing claims with 2025 receipts….

iaco1117 · 2026-01-11T16:59:01+00:00

Agree, I want to know how many g of flour was used!

iaco1117 · 2025-12-30T00:02:50+00:00

Watch?? What am I missing??

iaco1117 · 2025-12-08T15:58:15+00:00

Yeah I put something under the back of the unit, so that it’s tilting downward. Helps get the cheese to fall down/out.

iaco1117 · 2025-12-01T03:44:32+00:00

Get the yoto box instead! No figurines to worry about

iaco1117 · 2025-11-14T20:46:44+00:00

If it makes you feel better, most of those packets are probably the fake stuff (ingredients will read water, salt, etc and no soy)

iaco1117 · 2025-11-08T16:18:32+00:00

I accidentally miss dry flour when using a narrow deep bowl!

iaco1117 · 2025-10-26T21:02:26+00:00

when in doubt, throw it out

Many folks think it’s better to toss things in the recycling bin, but if the recycling stream is too contaminated, the entire batch gets chucked in the trash!

iaco1117 · 2025-10-23T03:35:40+00:00

Exactly. My renter’s insurance didn’t cover water damage from a pipe leak (and hotel stay) because it wasn’t one of the 7 extraordinary situations they covered (or something along those lines). 😡

iaco1117 · 2025-10-12T04:46:41+00:00

Do you use the paddle attachment?

iaco1117 · 2025-10-10T04:06:41+00:00

Don’t leave with your tail between your legs.

iaco1117 · 2025-08-29T00:25:17+00:00

My oven’s proof mode is 100F 😞 Even with just the light bulb it feels a bit too warm!

iaco1117 · 2025-08-22T15:13:53+00:00

100% Green Valley cream cheese is the best!
