5 Tips for Installing Domestic Air Conditioning Systems

[ad_1]

Air conditioning systems are one of the most popular lifestyle gadgets all over the world. These products are widely used at both homes and workplaces. If you’re planning to purchase air con units for your home, there’re certain factors that you should take into consideration to make a better decision. Specially, if you’re under a budget constraint, go for portable air conditioners. Considering the greater convenience of customers, various models of portable AC units have been introduced to the market by the manufacturing brands. Now, you may ask how the portable variety is better than the rest?

Portable air cons are ideal for homes because of their unparallelled flexibility. Moreover, the cost is another positive aspect of the range of products. As compared to the conventional variety, portable HVAC systems cost almost half. However, the non-portable air conditioners are also a good choice, provided you take into account certain factors:

While installing an AC, consider the following factors to ensure safety in your home and the running efficiency of the system.

Dimension of a room: Determine the physical dimension of the room, where you plan to install the AC. You can choose the air con with the adequate capacity, once you know the length and the breadth of the room. The bigger the room is, an AC with larger the capacity you need. Else, if you go for an AC with smaller capacity in a larger room, it won’t be able to provide with the necessary cooling.

HVAC Kilowatt rating: Kilowatt rating is another vital factor to consider, when it comes to choosing an air conditioner, irrespective of its make or model. The higher this rating is, the greater amount of heat it will be able to remove from the room where it’s installed.

The number of windows: The number of windows also play a role in this aspect. The more rooms you’ve in a room, more heat enters inside. Thus, an AC requires more time to drive away the heat from the room to facilitate effective cooling. On the other hand, the bigger your room is, the cost of running the system will be more.

EER or energy efficiency rating factor: While making the purchase, you also need to check the EER or energy efficiency rating of the product. Ideally, you should go for the product having the highest EER number. This ensures, your domestic air conditioning system runs with greater efficiency on a minimal cost.

Properly insulated home: It’s important to ensure, your home has the proper insulation system in place to support safe running of the HVAC unit. If your home is properly insulated to trap the cold air in summers and hot air in winters, the running cost of the HVAC unit will further be reduced.

Installing an HVAC at home is really not that easy. You’ve to make sure, there’s no loophole anywhere, else it may take a toll on your life and property. Follow the tips discussed above and all the risk factors will automatically be resolved.

Mike Tyson Rise and Downward Spiral

[ad_1]

I was not alive to watch boxing greats like Jack Dempsey, Muhammad Ali, and Joe Frazier, but I was alive to watch the rise and fall of Mike Tyson. My dad was a huge boxing fan and being in the military there were always get together’s on base for every big boxing match one of the first fights I remember seeing was the Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Marvin Hagler in May of 1986. I only remember that fight because there were about 40 grown army soldiers outraged that after Hagler dominated for most of the 12 rounds the decision went to Leonard. I did not understand boxing and didn’t really care until later that year.

On November 22, 1986 me and my two other brothers went with my dad to his friends house to watch an up and coming boxer named Mike Tyson, he was fighting for the WBC title against Trevor Berbick. Before the fight started most of the guys were bragging how Berbick was going to mop the floor with the young Tyson. People had heard about Tyson but not many thought he could win the fight. I remember sitting on the floor in front of the TV with the other kids at the party playing with our G.I Joes waiting for the fight to start.

As they entered the ring to tap gloves and agree on a clean fight, when the cameras did up close shots of the fighters staring at each other Berbick looked like this was going to be a walk in the park. But Tyson had this grim reaper look on his face, and once the fight started Berbick face quickly changed to the expression of a deer in headlights. As Tyson started pounding Berbick with powerful body shots and quick combos it looked like Berbick was in fear of his life. Once the bell rang to signal the end of the first round everybody in the room was saying I cannot believe this kid is taking it to Berbick. As the second round started Tyson just went in for the kill and sent Berbick down to the canvas twice in the second round. Berbick tried to get up three times after the second knock down but there was no use, he didn’t know where he was and almost feel out of the ring.

From that moment on Mike Tyson became not only mine but millions of boxing fans favorite boxer to root for. Tyson was the first boxer to knock out Larry Holmes on his way to win 19 straight fights by knockouts with 12 being in the first round. As his fame began to grow his fighting skills started to go down from lack of proper training. He lost his championship belt to James “Buster” Douglas by a knockout in the tenth round in February of 1990 and his life was never the same after that.

In 1992 he was arrested and sent to prison for three years for sexually assaulting Desiree Washington. Once he was released he went back to boxing, he seem to be back on track until he lost to Evander Holyfield by an 11th round TKO in 1996. When the two fighters met up again for a much anticipated rematch, Tyson did the unthinkable and bit a piece of Holyfield’s ear off while they were tangled together on his way to be disqualified. After that Tyson became a reckless mess he ended up finishing his career with a professional boxing record of 50 wins, 44 knockouts, 6 loses, and 2 no contest.

As kid growing up watching Tyson rise and fall from greatness I wondered how someone so gifted could just throw it all away. Like many people I never really understood the craziness behind him, I just seen him as your normal rising star gone bad. It was not until my early twenty’s that I learned about Tyson harsh childhood. I was shocked to learn that he had been arrested 38 times by the age of thirteen. When he was sixteen his mother died and he was split up from his brother and sister, when he moved in with his boxing trainer Cus D’Amato in upstate New York. If D’Amato did not step in and help Tyson turn his life around he would of most likely been dead by the age of 18. Once Cus died Don King entered his life and forever changed Tyson to the crazy barbaric many people think of him as today.

Now that he is finally retired, Tyson is trying to make amends for all the bad things he did in his life, he knows that he will probably at some point mess up again but he is trying to change that. On May 26, 2009 Tyson’s daughter Exodus passed away from a freak treadmill incident. Tyson was not present when it happened, and still till this day does not want to know the full details of what happened. He knows if he finds out all the details his rage would come out against his ex-wife who was watching her at the time. For most people not knowing what really happened would just eat away at them. For Tyson not knowing is part of his healing process on his way to become a better man and role model for his kids.

Freeze Dried Foods and Dehydrated Foods – What’s the Difference Anyway?

[ad_1]

Everyone has heard of dehydrated foods. It’s the simplest and least-expensive way to store food for longer periods of time; it’s something that’s more affordable for families to do at home–if they can afford to spend the time preparing and dehydrating foods for emergency food storage. But what of freeze-dried foods? To some people the term may be completely new, or sound familiar but unsure of the definition. Some may have even tried freeze-dried food without even realizing they have. If you have had “astronaut ice cream” before, then you have tried freeze dried food.

When gathering food for emergency food storage, hiking, camping or other similar reasons, it is good to know the difference between these two types of prepared food storage. Not only will knowing the difference help you understand how they’re made, but help you know why some processes will be better for the types of food you wish to store versus other types of food.

Traditional food drying, or dehydration, has been around since ancient times for food preservation. Since the convenience of refrigerators weren’t around, the sun, wind and air had to do the drying. By removing the majority of water, enzymes and microorganisms are inhibited, stopping or severely slowing their usual routine of spoiling food.

Today, solar or electric food dryers can be bought for your personal home to provide more consistent results. With the cost of purchasing one, let alone the time it takes to prepare dehydrated food yourself, these reasons often steers people from that route. Fortunately, with improved technologies, the internet, and companies mass producing dehydrated foods, consumers can buy dehydrated food at affordable prices–not to mention save countless hours of dehydrating food yourself.

Freeze drying food has not been around too long, and when the concept was originally practiced, it wasn’t used for food. During World War II, certain medical supplies were spoiling before arriving to their destinations. Scientists determined that by freezing the materials at a certain point then drying to remove the formed crystals, it would preserve its state without refrigeration. While the process had to be modified for the sake of preserving the texture of food when freeze-drying, a faster freezing process is done to prevent crystallization from breaking the cell-walls of food.

Now understanding the big difference between the two methods of preserving food for emergency food storage, hiking or the many other reasons people buy dry food, which method is the best? As with almost all answers to broad questions, the answer is: “it depends.” Each process has its advantages, and when used correctly, can give consumers looking to purchase food storage the best options available.

Traditional dehydration is less expensive than freeze drying. Without the need of more expensive and sophisticated equipment, standard dehydration will produce preserved food at a cheaper price. Nevertheless, this process has more limitations, including the quality of some types of food’s texture and taste. Most dehydrated foods can have little to no seasonings or other ingredients. Once you rehydrate your food, usually more cooking can be required if it’s a full meal you desire. That’s why dehydration is better for simpler foods such as snacks, fruits, grains, etc.

Freeze drying, while more expensive, can open your world to many more possibilities for preserving food. Entire meals with full ingredients, seasoning, etc. can be freeze-dried together. Additionally, only water is needed to prepare your meal again, reducing the need for preparation. Still, with a higher expense, freeze drying may not always be the best answer every time.

The best result then for finding the right type of prepared food storage is finding preparers that use both methods. Many companies today prepare full pre-made meals for food storage, which include food that has been both dehydrated and freeze-dried, depending on the type. This allows all servings of food, be they freeze-dried meats, or dehydrated grains, suit you and your needs for food storage, camping, hiking, or whatever other reason you have for purchasing preserved foods.

Hen and Stag Nights – How To Do It In Style

[ad_1]

One of the most important things to consider when organizing a hen or stag event is how much it’s going to cost. This will obviously have a huge effect on who is able to come. Be sensible when doing the planning – the ideal situation is to plan something that everyone will enjoy but that is well within budget. After all, the majority of the hens and stags will also be attending the wedding, which is another expense.

Under €50 per person

A night on the town. Dinner and drinks followed by a nightclub. Look out for restaurants with a set menu or ask if they will do any offers for groups so that you don’t end up spending too much money on food. Equally, see whether you can get on the guest list to a club and, if the entry charge goes up after a certain time, make sure you get in there before the deadline!

A girls’ night in with take away, manicures and DVD’s. This is a guaranteed fun and inexpensive night. Rent out a few ‘chick flicks’ gather plenty of take away menus and fill the freezer with ice cream. Ask everyone to bring a sleeping bag and spend any remaining money on face packs, nail varnish and other beauty items so you can have a pamper evening. Perfect!

A paintballing or go-karting day with the guys, followed by a few beers in the pub. Outdoor activities don’t have to be hugely expensive so shop around for something that suits you perfectly. When it comes to transport, it might even be economical to hire a minibus for the weekend. After a few hours in the fresh air, you’ll enjoy nothing more than dinner and a fair few pints in the local pub. Paintballing isn’t the thing to do less than a week before the wedding – bruises don’t make a great look.

€50 – €100 per person

A night out on the town, with overnight stay in an inexpensive hotel or guesthouse. Dinner and clubbing makes for a great night out. If you have a little more money to spend, why not travel a little further and book some accommodation for the night. This doesn’t have to cost the earth – a cosy b&b can be just as lovely as a luxurious hotel and it means you get to reminisce over breakfast the next morning!

A ‘glam’ night out with cocktails and dinner at a smart restaurant. If you’re just organizing an evening and don’t need to think about overnight accommodation, you can splash out a little with this budget. Organise dinner in a great restaurant and move on to a swanky bar for cocktails afterwards. It’s amazing how much you can spend on a few Margaritas!

A camping weekend! An entire weekend away can start getting expensive and you’re unlikely to stay underneath a £100 per head budget… unless you go camping! Perhaps one of the least expensive forms of accommodation, but also one of the most fun. This is great for hens and stags alike… but only those who enjoy the great outdoors. Think camp fires, long walks and pub lunches. Perfect – but not for those who are concerned about damaging their manicure. Be open minded about this one, it could be a lot of fun!

A day at a health spa. For under £100, you really can enjoy a luxurious day at a health spa, hopefully including lunch and a few treatments. Health spas are always a good idea for hen days or weekends as people can generally do what they would like to do, spend more money if they want to or less if they don’t. Look out for any offers that could give you the opportunity to stay overnight.

€100-€200 per person

A cottage weekend. This is perfect for a hen or stag weekend – but costs do tend to spiral. Many plan these weekends basing the cost on the accommodation, which can be relatively inexpensive. However, you need to think of the ‘extras’ such as money for a food and drink kitty, and at least one night out for dinner, or a lovely lunch. Be sure to ask your fellow hens and stags to bring a long a selection of games, CDs and DVDs to ensure plenty of amusement.

A day trip to France, possibly with an overnight stay. Costs can vary enormously depending on how you want to travel and where you want to stay. Remember, you’re likely to want to sample some French cuisine and a few glasses of vino! Those who can splash out a little more might take the Eurotunnel and stay in a chateaux, or even head to Paris for the day on the Eurostar. If you’re prepared to party all night, you could even forget about the hotel and come home on the morning train!

An overnight stay at a health spa. There’s nothing more luxurious than spending the night at a health spa. Just as you’ve reached a total state of relaxation, you can fall in to bed, get up in the morning and be pampered all over again.

€200-€300 per person

A city break, perhaps to Paris or Barcelona. With a little more money to spend, you can organize a long weekend abroad. Plan your destination carefully, taking in to account what you think everyone will enjoy. Prague is a very popular destination for stag weekend while Paris, Barcelona or Madrid might be just the thing for a girls weekend (plenty of glamour and lots of lovely shops!).

A package week away to a sunny destination. If you’re planning for a close group of friends, consider organizing an entire week away. This isn’t ideal for a large group that includes people who don’t know each other that well – you simply can’t expect that everyone will want to spend a whole week together. Scour the internet and travel agents for any offers where you can fly away to the sunshine and enjoy a great week. So long as it’s not excessively alcohol-fuelled, this is a great idea as you get closer to the wedding – suntans and wedding photos are a great combination!

Blow the budget

A long weekend (or a week) in Las Vegas! If the sky really is the limit and you’re organising an event for a fun bunch… head to Vegas. Accommodation is remarkably reasonable and fabulous, so you can splash out on shows and in the casino. You never know, you might even win more than you spend!

The ultimate hen day. Oh yes, it’s truly amazing what you can spend over the course of 24 hours. Arrange accommodation for your hens in a London hotel before meeting for afternoon tea at The Ritz. Spend the afternoon being pampered in your choice of hair salon or spa, before getting ready for your night out. Cocktails at The Sanderson could be a good start, perhaps followed by dinner in the chef’s kitchen at Claridges. Enjoy a few after dinner drinks at The Blue Bar at The Berkeley hotel before collapsing in to bed. And, of course, you’ll need a chauffeur!

Whatever it is you decide to do. Make the most of it!

RRoD: What, Why and Fix

[ad_1]

The most common of the causes of these failures tends to be damaged or “cold” solder points under the graphics processing chip (known as the GPU).

Manufacturing game consoles comes with lots of intricacies. One of these is the ecological effect of your item. Because of this, 360′s are produced using lead free solder. This is good for the planet but bad for the life of the console. There is a heat cycle involved in using gadgets with processor’s (CPU’s and GPU’s). During these heating and cooling periods, there is pressure on solder joints as the motherboard tends to move a little bit when cooling. This is regular and usually does not cause damage. The insufficient amount of lead in the solder makes the joints much less flexible, and they usually break a little. Sure this can occur with leaded solder, and it does all the time. The difference is when it happens; 500 power cycles in comparison to 4000 power cycles is the difference between your 360 console lasting 18 months and your 360 console lasting 6-8 years. Now that is a lot difference! There are several ways to fix these production problems. Some are useless and some are worth the weight of a 360 in silver…

“The Penny Fix”

This is where you put a penny in between the GPU chip and the heat sink. This may have worked for someone, somewhere, who had a loose x-clamp, but it doesn’t fix the overheating or the breaks in the processor solder and it is a bad idea. It may tighten the x-clamp, and resolve the present error, but it causes bigger problems. There is a layer of thermal paste between the chip and the heat sink that is very critical to the cooling of the chip. The penny will not only physically damage the chip, but also disturbs the cooling process and leads to burns on the chip. I have seen the penny under the x-clamps on the bottom of the motherboard as well. This is even worse as it makes tons of shorts and damages many of the tiny components. This fix will render your Xbox 360 useless and irreparable.

“The Towel Fix”

This idea came from the thought that wrapping a towel around the cooling vents of your Xbox 360 would heat the solder hot enough to reflow the chip. This is not possible. There are many factors involved in performing a successful reflow. The motherboard has to be preheated to a workable temp in order for the solder to dispense evenly, there is a specific method to heating the chip itself, there needs to be industry specific flux for the solder to adhere correctly and on… and on… and on. The only thing I have heard the towel method do, is nothing.

“The Oven Reflow”

This fix is accomplished by putting your motherboard on a baking sheet in the oven. This is the biggest nightmare repair I have ever had to date. DO NOT DO THIS!!! It does not work and it destroys many of the components on the motherboard!!! Your capacitors will burst, your resistors will fall off and your motherboard will curl up like bacon. This will render your Xbox 360 useless and irreparable. Enough said I hope!

“The Hotplate Reflow”

See above…

“The Hairdryer Reflow”

This fix is ridiculous. I have seen a lot of exploded capacitors from this as well. Do not attempt this method. Not only does it not fix your Xbox 360, it can damage you DVD drive as well. This will render your Xbox 360 useless and irreparable.

How To Make Perfect Ventilation In A Wooden Garage

[ad_1]

Your garage will always be in need of ventilation regardless of the time of year, and as such, you need to ventilate it. The garage will experience an increase in temperatures during the summers as well as a reduction during the cold months. Though wood is an excellent insulator, there are times when the temperatures can become unbearable, thus making it hard for you to work in your garage under those conditions.

A garage devoid of adequate ventilation will also encourage the increase of mildew as well as the build-up of chemical fumes which will affect your overall well-being and can make you sick. It is always good to work in ventilated environments which will enable you to be comfortable throughout the process and will also prevent occurrences of incidences such as heatstroke.

What problems can arise as a result of lack of ventilation?

Many serious problems could accrue from a non-ventilated garage, and they affect not only your health but also the lifespan of your investment.

Heat

During scorching summers, your garage can get so hot that working in it can become unbearable. You are looking at temperatures warm enough to cook an egg. Neither you nor any of your family and friends will want to be inside during the day, and this will limit the amount of time which you can spend in it.

People use these structures for fixing cars and many parents tend to bond with their children while fixing up cars in the summer. This bonding time will not be possible in such conditions. Your kids will be unable to practice their painting and music from the comfort of the garage, and it will be defunct in hot days, which is a waste of such an investment.

Cold seasons

The cold seasons can also make it hard for you and your family to enjoy the benefits of your garage by making the interior very cold. Once again, you would have to avoid it, therefore limiting its use to some months in the year when it is neither too hot nor too cold.

Another problem that comes with the cold seasons is that some supplies in the garage are susceptible to changes in the temperature and they can get ruined in the process.

Chemicals

Garages store a lot of supplies, some of which should not get exposed to heat. Take an example of paint. Paint should not be kept in an enclosed area as it can cause problems such as difficulty in breathing and dizziness.

Humidity

Your garage is an investment which can serve your needs and for the generations to come if well-maintained. Lack of ventilation can lead to humidity, depending on the region in which you live. Suppose you live in an area with high humidity and do not have any ventilation in place, mildew, as well as excess moisture, can build up and lead to rust and rot.

Sometimes, people notice the presence of such damage when it is too late, thus forcing them to reconstruct their garages. You can prevent this problem at an early stage and hold on to your investment.

Making the right choice

There are many ways which you can put to use to adequately ventilate your garage to avoid the above problems and more. When choosing the right ventilation for your garage, it is essential that you look at the material used in its construction, the size of the structure as well as the purpose.

You should also take the average temperatures as well as the humidity levels in your region of residence into consideration. For storage purposes, you can go for a simple ridge vent or a non-powered gable vent which will ensure that the temperatures remain controlled. However, if you plan to use the garage as a working space in an area where humidity levels are high, you should go for a powered vent as it will be more effective as compared to the previous options.

The size

The size of your garage will affect how much ventilation you require. Take an example of a small garage. This structure can maintain low temperatures with the use of a small solar-powered panel which would not work for a more massive space. In the same way, a turbine ventilator will be useful in the cooling of a large garage but it will not work for a small structure, and you have to make a choice accordingly.

How should you pick the right size?

You should consider the purpose of your garage as well as the type of vent you wish to use when making this decision. For storage purposes, a skylight or roof vent works just fine in maintaining the temperature at low levels and reducing the humidity levels.

For a space where you plan to spend a considerable amount of time working, use powered ventilation for enhanced efficiency. You can power the fans using solar or electricity to push out hot air while drawing in cold air from the outside. They also work to bring in warm air from the outdoors during the cold season.

Do not base your decision based on pricing as you could go wrong. First, delve into what you need, and from there you can work your way through the list of possible ventilators based on the pricing.

You will find that there are three popular ventilation options on the market and they all come with their set of advantages.

The Whirlybird Turbine Ventilator is a great option when looking for a ventilator which can quickly push hot air out during warm seasons. It does not require maintenance and can produce winds of up to 147 mph. The installation process is quite easy, and it can last a lifetime.

The Shed Cupola is another popular option, and it comes in a tower design for ease in pulling hot air out of the structure. With a vent on each side, you can get maximum airflow regardless of the direction of the wind. It is more aesthetically pleasing when compared to the whirlybird turbine, and it can move a lot of air.

The louver vent is more versatile regarding positioning when mounting and you can place it on one or both ends of your structure. You should install it towards the peak of your roof to enable hot air to leave the structure at a fast rate. Through the constant flow of air, humidity levels remain low as well as the temperatures.

Other options on the market include the venting skylight and the small solar-powered fan. Be sure to select a ventilator based on your purpose and the size of your garage to get one suitable for your wooden garage.

How Do Water Cooled Scroll Chillers Work?

[ad_1]

Water Cooled Scroll Chillers is a refrigerating system used to cool fluids and dehumidify air of the surrounding. Working same as that of Air Cooled Chillers, the Water Cooled Scroll Chillers also follows the same basic principles of evaporation and condensation. These water cooled scroll chillers are used in wide varieties of industrial as well as commercial setups. Highly efficient and easy to install, these Water Cooled Scroll Chillers are ideal for any Hotels, Hospitals or industries etc. Various prominent air conditioning companies like Bluestar, Daikin’s, Voltas, Carriers also manufactures there own industrial water chiller, water cooling coils etc.

Structure:

A single closed unit of water Cooled Scroll Chiller consists of an Evaporator, Condenser, Compressor, and an expansion valve. The evaporator is the primary point of initiation. Here the reservoir is filled with water or water-mix for re-circulation. Evaporator with the help of bundle of tubes surrounds the Central Chamber. The Central Chamber is then connected to the Compressor, in this case, we are talking of Scroll Chillers using Scroll Compressor. Scroll compressor also is known as Spiral Compressor because of its very design. Whereupon the compressor connects to the condenser which is again connected to the evaporator to repeat the cycle. These are the basic elements and structure of Water Cooled Scroll Chiller.

Difference between Air Cooled Chillers and Water Cooled Chillers?

The functioning of both the Air Cooled Chillers and Water Cooled chillers is similar. Both consists of an Evaporator, Compressor, Condenser and an expansion valve. The major point of difference lies in the fact that one uses Air to fuel condenser cooling whereas the other uses Water.

This major difference of using water instead of Air is also a point of advantage for the water Chillers as the wet surface is more efficient in transferring the heat when compared to the Air Cooled Chillers.

How do water cooled scroll chillers work?

The process is initiated by filling the reservoir with water or water-mix for circulation. The cycle begins in the Evaporator where the liquid refrigerant flows over the evaporator bundle of tubes and evaporates. It also absorbs heat from the chilled water circulating through the bundle. As soon as the water reaches enough high temperature it starts radiating the heat back to the refrigerant in the evaporator resulting in vapours. with the help of a pipe or a tube, this vapour is made to pass through the compressor. Here the scroll Compressor using its unique spiral design and two interleaving scrolls to pump, compress and pressurize fluids. The most unique feature of Scroll compressor is its ability to be quiet, it works great in the sound sensitive environment. It has a sound pressure level as low as 72 DBA. The compressor then starts raising the temperature of the Condenser by way of pumping the refrigerant vapour to the condenser. The refrigerant condenses on or in the condenser tubes, giving up its heat to the cooling water. It is this high-pressure liquid refrigerant is then made to pass through an expansion device that reduces the refrigerant pressure as well temperature as it enters the evaporator. The refrigerant again flows over the chilled water coils absorbing more heat and completing the cycle.

The market is flooded with options when it comes to industrial Water Chillers and its manufacturers. Almost all the prominent Air Conditioning companies are in the field of manufacturing and rendering their services in this sphere too. Each industrial Chiller would also require maintenance and services after a certain set of the period. This industry doesn’t only cater to the demands of their clients but also cater their services in order to make optimum use of the technology.

How to Keep Food Fresh Naturally

[ad_1]

How can you ensure that your food lasts longer and keeps fresh?

There are many things you can do, such as regularly clean your refrigerator and regularly check the food in there and also that you keep in the cupboards or anywhere else. But its not just about checking them. This cannot prevent anything. All you will be doing is throwing away food items before they stink up the entire kitchen. So, what can you do to keep the food fresh?

Practical List of Tips for Ensuring Food is Cleaner and Fresher:

1) Spread some cloves on and around the marble surface of your kitchen, and also spread some cloves under the sink.

Why?

The Cloves keeps ants away.

2) Place some bay leaves inside your bags of dough, rice and the rest of the packs that insects prefer.

Why?

Bay leaves keep insects and other such lice away from food products. By placing bay leaves inside the packets, we ensure that insects do not reside there. But please remember to change the bay leaves once every three months.

3) Place half a potato in the refrigerator.

Why?

If there is any kind of bad smell from food or cooked items, the half potato will absorb it. To make sure that this works, remember to exchange the potato every three days.

4) Store eggs with the pointed side down.

Why?

Storing eggs with the pointed side down keeps them fresh for a longer period.

5) Place a few cubes of sugar in the jar where you store American cheese.

Why?

When you place two or three cubes of sugar with the American cheese in an air tight jar, the sugar absorbs the moisture and prevents the cheese from getting bad.

6) Do not store tomatoes and cucumbers in the same draw.

Why?

Tomatoes give out gases that cause cucumbers to rot faster so make sure that you keep these two apart.

7) Do not store apples along with the rest of the fruits and vegetables.

Why?

Apples give out certain gases that cause fruits and vegetables to rot.

8) Place slices of apples or raw potatoes in the bread compartment or jar.

Why?

By adding a few slices of raw potatoes or apples with the bread, you ensure that the bread remains fresh for longer than usual.

9) Store radish in a vessel along with some water.

Why?

You should store radish in a vessel along with water because water will keep the radish fresh and crisp for a long time. For the same reason, if the radishes have shriveled, place them in a jar of cold water. Water will restore the radish to its previous splendor.

Conclusion:

Here, I have presented only a few of the more practical actions you should follow to ensure that the food you and your family consume remains fresh and tasty.

How To Vacuum Seal And Freeze Food In Canning Jars

[ad_1]

I want to cook soups and freeze them in canning jars and have ordered a product online that will vacuum seal these jars for me. I have never canned but I found online that there are canning jars that I can freeze in. I know that I must leave space in the jar for expansion. Do I wait until the soup is cooled off before putting it into the jars? Must I purchase these jars online only? Would the canning jars that they sell at Ace, etc. not be advisable for freezing?

All standard canning jars (Ball and Kerr) can safely be placed in the freezer. Jars take up a lot of freezer space and are somewhat dangerous because they can and do break easily. Cleaning glass out of a freezer would be about the last thing on my list of things to do.

A better method for freezing soup (and many other foods) is to quick-freeze it in user-friendly amounts first. I use 1-cup plastic containers for soup so that I can use 1 for one serving (nice for lunch for one), or I can pull out more if I need more servings. After they are frozen I pop them out of the plastic containers and stack them and seal them with my FoodSaver in a bag. They fit better in the freezer. You can do the same thing in inexpensive 1-quart plastic freezer containers if you need larger amounts than 1-serving sizes.

You should probably check the manufacturers instructions about vacuum-sealing soup before it’s frozen, or after; and whether that can/should be done in a jar. Call the toll-free number for more information. I always use regular canning jars to put my freezer jam in. Into the freezer,and I have never had one break on me.

The package says not to reuse the seals. Do you reuse them or throw them out after each use? You shouldn’t reuse the lids when they are used for home canning. They can be used over and over for vacuum sealing. I’ve kept my dry-goods like beans, seeds, grains, pasta, etc. in wide-mouthed canning jars of all sizes and have used the lids over and over. Eventually the sealing compound can get old and brittle and not hold a seal, in which case it gets tossed and replaced. I also soften the sealing compound on the lids in warm water before using them the first time on a vacuum-sealed jar.

Have you ever used the plastic lids? Do you know if they can be vacuum sealed as well as reused as needed? I only wish the plastic lids could be vacuum sealed – that would indeed be wonderful!!! I use those plastic lids all the time, but just for non-vacuum sealed items.

I freeze all extra homemade soup in regular canning jars, but I make sure to only fill them 2/3 full so the contents don’t expand and break the glass. If you’re careful, you shouldn’t have a problem. Make sure that if you’re placing hot food into the jars, to submerge the jars in hot water first so that they won’t break while filling. I allow my soups to cool or refrigerate over night before putting in the freezer.
