Nobody makes butter dishes which are specific to west coast sticks. They're all either designed without even realizing west coast sticks exists, or they're slightly larger than east coast sticks and you can kind of cram west coast sticks into it with a lot of wasted space on the ends.
95% of the butter in stores in are basically 4 east coast sticks stacked together 2x2. You can but “normal” sticks but it’s usually only fancier/organic/speciality stuff and 30ish% more expensive.
Most people just clumsily cut it into 4 equal east coast-ish sticks and store the remaining Tetris shape in the fridge.
I’ve not found a proper butter dish for large chunks we have.
With the #wildfire smoke in #yeg this weekend, I pulled the air purifiers up from the basement.
Does anyone know how the filters work for these? As in is there some sort of standard or does each manufacturer make unique?
I have a couple of Instant (as in Instant Pot) brand filters and they work well. But filters seem to be stupid expensive: 55CAD per filter. I think the original purifier was only 80CAD.
There similar looking/sized filters for half the price, but not sure if they'll work.
It’s pretty nuts that it costs that much. It really seems like it’s only a few bucks worth of materials, but like so many things it’s not the material cost…
I read a few forum posts indicating that there are heating elements on the outside of the drum meaning you have rotating ~300f glass cylinder that you somehow have to safely extract to serve.
I am pondering the deep mysteries of life today. Like this #coke bottle that has weird fonts and kerning (not pictured) but more awkwardly gives the caffeine content in mg per fl oz, and how it's "16.9" fl oz instead of the normal 20oz, which I assume is the 500ml European standard size, but it still has corn syrup instead of regular sugar. It almost seems like a counterfeit coke?
Today's antique faire finds: a Stahly vibrating safety razor and... I actually don't know what the other thing is, but I bought it anyway.
There are no brand markings on it, only "Patented Feb 9 1915" on the bottom. The bottom twists like the Stahly blade and it seems like the top might rotate. There is a sharp round circle at the top and the dealer seemed to think it was for sharpening blades, but he wasn't sure. Any ideas? Time to do some research.
