Not a lifehack, but a terrible DIY where you can buy 90% of the items for cheap and they also won't leak or catch fire. https://youtu.be/eUpyGdC81_o

It's amazing to go to Amazon and look at reviews for stuff like the Baseboard Buddy, and everyone (ostensibly) young is like "this is dumb it's a sponge on a stick" and then old people posting "I'm 83 and I can't get down there to clean stuff, this helps  "

I mean you don't really see "this is dumb it's a brush on a stick" when someone is trying to sell you a broom.

Also a lot of that stuff might be dumb but it's like the cost of a bowl of soup at Panera Bread so who cares if old people can do something with a not particularly robust stick-sponge. kind of a low hanging fruit.

I just realized "sponge on a stick" is one of the most successful (cleaning) products in the past 67 years here:

There's a lot to be mad about in that video, but I think the frozen pizza one offends me the most. Frozen pizza only takes 10 minutes in an oven anyway! And it didn't give a setting to use. Also I've never in my life met someone with a garment steamer.

Generally, with decent beef, you don't have to worry so much about the internal temperature as you do making the surface safe. It's just like how you can cook pork pink, since they got a handle on trichinosis.

For some reason the video won't load for me past about 40 seconds, so I don't know what they did with the eggs, but actual lifehack: steaming or pressure cooking your eggs to hard/soft-boil them makes them insanely easy to peel. muscles like this! posted:Also who the gently caress has a pan big enough for a frozen pizza?

I got https://www.hamiltonbeach.com/egg-cooker-25500 when it came up on slickdeals a while ago, and holy crap does it do a good job. I don't like dedicated gadgets, but this is on the level of rice cooker as far as ease/quickness/dumbass-proof-cooking goes e: since the site doesn't have much of a description, it's basically a mini hotplate with a sensor/timer that steams however many eggs to soft, medium, or hard boiled Sentient Data has a new favorite as of 01:12 on Sep 5, 2017 |

Samizdata posted:I am wondering how the texture compares to boiled eggs, as I have been told (and been too lazy to check out) baked eggs are superior to boiled. Steamed eggs are great. Try them for yourself: Put a half dozen large eggs in a medium frying pan, add 1/3 c. water, and slap on a tight cover. Cook over high heat for 3 minutes, low heat for another 3, then turn off the heat entirely and let the pan sit, still covered, for 9 more minutes before they're ready to eat. You may want to run the eggs under cold water/give them an ice bath to stop the cooking process, but I find it's less necessary than when boiling them in a full pot of water. The problem I've seen with baked eggs in their shells is that the shells can brown, which is a little disconcerting. I expect if the white is thinner on the browned side, that part may be overcooked.

And it didn't give a setting to use. That seems like a perfectly sensible way to heat up a pizza if you don't have access to an oven or grill, though. It's just lifehacky because it's just using a pan lid for its intended purpose. Also, "setting"?
