> I am curious how one pops popcorn, shakes a pan, throws the pan, and heats the sides of the pan when eg reducing stock. How do woks work, exactly, on an induction burner? Why does spilling liquids cause the problems I encountered? Why does the bottom of the pans have to be perfectly flat? Some of my cast iron skillets (whoops never mind) are 50 years or more old and are not perfectly flat. They cook fantastic on a gas range. My All-Clad skillets reduce stock while caramalizing above the liquid level, and... the flavor gain is detectable. My only a few years old set of de Buyers "work" on induction but they're not perfectly flat, either. They are ever so slightly concave up in the center. They work fantastic too on a gas burner, but are a disaster on induction.
... we do all of those things on our mid/low-range induction stove? Our primary cookware is random cast iron, the pasta water boils over all the time with no ill effect, we make popcorn, we make stocks, toss things in a pan by lifting it from the surface all the time. I don't know what range you had but something is wrong with it.
I have to admit, like others in this comment section, I was searching for ways to automate ensuring our team's written SQL code is working, whether that's by their technical or business logic requirement. But there's a lot of good insight on data management in general in that handbook and appreciate now knowing about it.
Our local library has a "new" section on their website that sorts everything by date acquired. A couple times a year we page through it and request the interesting-looking books!
I'm very curious where you are getting shingles at that price! I was putting together a budget for an outdoor sauna this year, and out here (Michigan) I was getting quotes around $200 per bundle (32 sq ft coverage).
PS thanks for your posts! The goose palace and the house build are both super inspiring.
It may depend on your grade. Since this is a barn (and it would be fine for a sauna), I was using 2nd clear grade C shingles. Lots of knots, some defects, but $49 for a bundle from PJ Currier, a local lumber supply company.
Thanks! I feel like we just don't have the same supply chain over here for some of these products. Was a pain even finding clear cedar in any quantity.
Geocoding is one of those _hard_ problems and this really seems like a great step forward.
