How do you clean a cast iron pan?

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

I like cooking with cast iron, but I know you’re not supposed to use soap on it because it’s porous. How do you clean it then? I’ve used it once and it’s currently soaking in hot water because I don’t know what to do with it. :)

Thanks!

Where will we find find lye AND lard (rendered is recommended) here in the Philippines?

We will use this for making soap.

Lye is also called caustic soda or sodium hydroxide.
Lard is pig fat used as cooking fat, shortening, or as a spread like butter.

Recommended if near the Las Piñas City, Alabang and/or Cavite area.

Why is my GE Triton XL dishwasher leaving clumped and hard soap in the soap cup after each operation?

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

We are currently using Electrosol powder dish detergent in our GE Triton XL dishwasher, and for the past month or so after almost all uses we notice that the powder soap has hardened and remained in the soap cup/dispenser. WE have used Electrosol previously with no problem, so we are wondering why it is doing this now. What is causing this, and how can we correct it?

How do I get rid of the black film spitting out of my Jacuzzi tub?

Saturday, November 7th, 2009

I have a jetted tub in the house that I recently purchased. The house was empty for at least 8 months. When I turn the jetted tub on, small pieces of black film spit out.

I can’t get rid of them. I’ve tried using soap and whirlpool systems clean. I’ve also tried just running straight water for a long period of time. HOW DO I GET RID OF THIS STUFF?

How do you take the shine out of stainless steel cutlery?

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

I’m in a play and in one scene my character waves around cutlery. The problem with this is that the forks and knives reflect badly on the lights and creates a blinding effect towards the audience.
My director asked me to wash the cutlery with a bar of soap, (i’m using an organic, olive oil based bar of soap) and told me it would take away the shine.
The trouble with this is that it isn’t working!
Any advice on what i should do?

How much dish soap do you use to wash pots?

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

I use only a little drop or two since it bubbles up so much with even the smallest amount. The amount in the bottle never seems to go down. Other people run out so fast because they pour so much in. Is it me or do you need very little soap to hand wash things since the soap is so powerful?
