One thing you recently discovered that has changed your life

[rosemole]

For the better, obviously.

Can be a thing, person, activity, place...anything really.

Mine is trig bagging. It's so much fun and gets you out there, to unexpected and unknown places.

What's yours?

@rosemole wait til you’re in your 60’s and using a x20 illuminated one (and no my spec prescription isn’t a high one either)!

I put the potato in a sieve and push it through with a wooden spoon. No fuss washing up, or extras in the drawers.

@Differentstarts just ordered myself a roller! Thank you!

I’m struggling to see how a rice cooker and potato ricer etc can change one’s life? Really? Can it be that different from shoving it in a pan or pushing it through a sieve?

😂

The rice cooker confusion again.

I can concede it may be helpful but ‘change your life?’ 😂😂😂

Maybe go back and read every page of the 28 page thread - Lots of posters explain why.

I have a x12 one from Boots. Its amazing for doing eyebrows.

Put jar upside down in inch of v hot water

@ TimeIretired x 20 😯not quiet ready for that but probably won't be long

Rice cookers are great perfect rice every time its never stodgy or overcooked

My fourteen-year-old wrist injury has just flared up again.

Carrying pans across the kitchen to the sink to drain them isn't an option right now. Holding a pan in one hand whilst stirring it with the other isn't an option right now. Buttering toast isn't an option right now. Screwing a Huel mixer shut isn't an option right now. But I was able to make porridge with pumpkin seeds in it in my rice cooker, so I got to eat breakfast this morning.

I'd say that the difference between eating and going hungry is pretty life-changing.

My tefal dual air fryer changed my life. Newly disabled I bought one last easter. I don't have to bend down, it's easier to clean, quicker for most foods and energy cheap. I had dropped many a hot tray with serious results. I love the thing so much.

I'm browsing x10 mirrors but I feel like I would terrify myself.

An alternative for cleaning burnt pots and pans is baking soda or salt. Salt works really well in my experience and it has the lowest cost. Cover the pan with a generous layer of salt and a little water; few hours later everything washes away.

Don't the pans transfer the scent of washing powder?

Your windscreen can burst, it doesn't have to but the risk is high. Frozen glass + hot water can lead to cracks.

I've always used cold water and it's been fine. But yes, there is still a risk.

I can't see if anyone has already suggested it, but I find this really useful. (Hope this works as it's the first time I've tried shortening my very long links.)

@ForestAtTheSea Your windscreen can burst, it doesn't have to but the risk is high. Frozen glass + hot water can lead to cracks.

I've been doing this using lukewarm water for 40 years. Never had a problem and never had to scrape a windscreen.

Well I rinse them out, but I use costcos own washing powder, not much of a scent. No one as yet has complained about a soapy smell or taste.

I wish people wouldn't use water because it can make icy patch on the road or pavement which are pretty dangerous.

Any recommendations as to which one is the better one?

Thanks to the poster who recommended oodies. DH and I got one each last week, they are wonderful, so cosy. Had never heard of them before.

I've got a basic downstairs as it's just a big space so mapping wasted. I bought a £200 Eufy with laser mapping for upstairs.

I live in a four in a block so all rooms are on the same floor. Sure it was a eufy one i looked at getting

Ours is eufy X10 Pro Omni Robot Vacuum Cleaner with mop. We got during the black Friday offers. It is the best thing we have bought in a long time.
