Note- this may work for any liquid; I’ve not needed to try.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>-Step2- Place the kettle on the burner and turn up the heat to “HOT”; as high as it goes.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>-Step3 Right after turning up the heat, place a wooden spoon across the mouth of the kettle; position the spoon so that it is basically dividing the kettle in two equal halves. Note: you can add in your food item at whatever time which is recommended for the dish you are preparing; before it starts to boil or any time later. If you take the spoon off to add in your food stuff, and/or to stir, remember to replace it to finish the boiling<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>-Step4- Set a timer. For example- I love hard boiled eggs. And so I set my timer for 15 minutes. And hey, the timer needs to be your signal to come and pull the kettle off the burner , remove the spoon and drain your kettle. And if you space off the timing, your water will all boil away and your food stuff will start to burn!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>--Easy and very complete removal of Pet hair: <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal>-Step1- Put on a pair of rubber gloves! The type people use to wash dishes. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>-Step2- Figuring out your method for cleaning the area you want to make free from hair: for Example: a couch- Think about this… you are going to use your hands which now are covered with a rubbery glove which has a techture that when dragged across the fabric of your couch, it will catch hair and drag it to whereever it is that you are wanting to collect a pile of hair, prior to when it is that you wish to pick up that stack, and drop it into a paper sack or some container. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Another tactic I will employ, is to have a glove on one had and as I swipe my gloved hand through an area, I’ll clean the hair off that gloved hand with the bare hand. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Respectfully Yours,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Robert Leslie Newman<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Friends of Nebraska Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired, President <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Website- <a href="https://friendsofncbvi.org/">https://friendsofncbvi.org</a> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Phone- 402-660-1743<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
