Having left over Linguine 🍝 with garlic sauce I cooked 5 days ago, nuked it and it’s delicious with shredded cheese!! That’s what I call a quick dinner. 😋 #nomnom
I have a family member that is doing #microwave communication - challenge is accurately aiming the dish they have, it’s about a meter in diameter on a metal support. It’s all portable.
I suggested using tent stakes and wires to really secure it in place, and something like a thumbscrew to adjust it very finely.
Anyone here do microwave ham stuff like this and have tips for this sort of thing? #HamRadio
This week's "Sunday" bike ride was on Saturday. The weather forecast for tomorrow is horrible, but the sun was shining today.
@jhembrow and I both left home at about the same time, but she went on a direct route for cross-stitch supplies while I went in a different direction to meet @twilwel for a cross-country ride. We then took an indirect route to the same destination so that all three of us could ride and stop for coffee together.
Our microwave oven turntable motor stopped working a few weeks back so I ordered a replacement motor. This cost just $4 including shipping from China, which is of course a bit crazy in itself, but it means we can continue to use the same microwave oven.
The same motor seems to be used in almost every microwave oven made by all manufacturers. It's made by Midea, the same company as made our heat pump.
This is a ludicrously simple repair. First disconnect power. Then remove the panel on the bottom of the microwave oven (it's cleverly designed to be refitted with a self-tapping screw when turned 180 degrees), remove the motor (held by just one self-tapper in our oven), swap the wires onto the new motor and re-install, replace cover. That's it: literally a five minute job and the appliance is spared. #microwave#midea#mds-4a #repair
Was a bit annoyed when other half spent out on this but this microwave toastie maker is bonkers good. Way less faff and cleaning nightmare than those old electric sandwich toasters. #kitchen#gadgets#food#microwave#toastie
Finished making a thing. This is a power supply for the 30W 10 GHz amplifier I’m working on. It should also be able to power the transverter, IF radio, & relays. I’m resisting the temptation to add an MCU and display. For now.
Morning all. As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed by a Chicken and Bacon Pasta Bake which took only four and a half minutes (700W) from chilled.
