 I have this utensil rack in the door of my dishwasher see  It’s only held in by gravity  Unfortunately when I have the door open and laying flat the utensil rack flops around. Is there a way to fasten this? Only thing that came to mind is zip ties

If you can find a way to space that rack out just a tiny amount from the face of the door, it should then provide enough resistance from it's mounting mechanism to hold itself in place. Maybe you could put some zip ties on there with the 'heads' facing the back so that they are proud of the rear of the tray?

We have the same utensil rack and we hate it. Not because it flops - our door naturally sits tilted just up from horizontal - but because you can't load dishes at the same time as utensils. If mine fell out like that yeah I'd try some tension based thing like Velocibacon says, zip ties sound ideal!

I have that rack too, but it usually sits in the main rack. If I need extra room then I set it up right on the door to load and then slot it in when full.

Can you move it to other places? Seems the point of being able to remove it would be 1. To load and unload outside the washer, or 2. To be able to move it around to different places inside the washer.

You don't have it mounted. If you look at the back of the rack, there is a slot for the round protrusion that is on the inside of the door. Cant tell from the pic but its very likely to be one on the other side of the door and another slot on that side of the rack. Slide it in place and you should be good.

I assumed he mounted that correctly but the tolerances are such that it's not enough friction to hold it in place when the door is down.

There is no way that gravity is at fault from dislodging if the unit is mounted correctly and full of silverware. I can't even imagine the PSI necessary to move it. Certainly nowhere approaching household dishwasher power

I’m assuming the issue is it slides off when he opens the door and lays it flat

My Calphalon Unison 12" nonstick pan's surface is starting to chip after about 12 years of light use so it's time for a replacement. It was the first nice pan I bought but at many times, I've felt 12" was too large for a nonstick, in part because it's quite heavy (the weight isn't a problem, just annoying) and it's too big for eggs/omelet, but it's nice for large veggies like asparagus. My other cookware consists of a 12" frying pan, 4 quart sauce pan, 8 quart stock pot, all tri-ply, and a 10" Lodge skillet. I mainly use the nonstick to cook chicken, fish, eggs, and veggies. I don't need a new pan right away, so if there's a nicer pan that would be worth it, I can wait for Black Friday deals.

Once my current 2 nonstick pans die, I plan on getting a second carbon steel and sticking with those. Once they're well seasoned, they're about 98% as good as nonstick and there's no concern about scratching them. It's mostly a matter of temp control and using enough oil/butter/whatever.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N8VUYT4/ these aren’t fancy but the aluminum is thick enough for them to heat evenly and the bottom to stay flat. the nonstick coating holds up well in my experience. usually runs $40 ish for the rivetless 10”, $32 is a good price

We wanted to love this pan, but it has a slightly domed cooking surface that sends oil and eggs racing to the edge.

Does anyone have a toaster oven with convection that they like? I have an ancient toaster oven with a couple dials that sees a lot of use, and the convection option would add a lot without taking up more counter space.

Tried making gnocchi from scratch for the first time, using the gnocchi board I picked up in Italy. It actually came out pretty good I think, definitely a solid first attempt.  Need to get a potato ricer and cut them a bit smaller next time. The sauce is homemade pesto, chicken stock, and oat milk, and I tossed in some pancetta towards the end.

Flash Gordon Ramsay posted:Breville Smartovens are popular around here. Love mine, I hardly use my big oven anymore (Breville is used daily, big oven maybe once a month) Seconding Breville Smart Oven, and 100% same on using it daily versus big oven rarely. Preheats quickly, cooks well, has convection, can fit a surprisingly large vessel in it (9x13 pan depending on side overhang/handles - Williams Sonoma goldtouch 9x13 fits). We use ours literally three times a day or more, my one and only complaint is that with such heavy use the hinges on the door have started to squeak/grind a bit. Doesn't impact its function at all, just doesn't open/close as smoothly as when new, but again is likely due to very heavy use so YMMV.

The breville smart ovens are great. Last winter my full-size oven went on the fritz and I frankly forgot to get the replacement part I needed for like a month because I could do everything in the toaster including roasting a spatchcocked chicken on a quarter-sheet pan.

My local asian grocery sells tabletop butane burners for hotpot, and I’ve looked at some single-burner camping cooktops, but they seem to be pretty much the same size, same product in different packaging. It might help if you said what you had now and what you want to do with the burner - cooking hotpot is going to be a bit different than griddling a pile of eggs and bacon at a camping trip, for instance.

dishwasher problem mostly solved. there was a cronenbergian horror in the (not disassemblable) weird top sprayer thing that if I'm understanding correctly is primarily designed to piss into the soap receptacle. I had to bring the the sink sprayer over to blast it out, so the pressure washer advice was in a sense not wrong. gracias.

Previously, on Something Offal: Slept for about three hours, insomnia decided that was enough, so I decided I was gonna do some things I said I was gonna do. Spaghettieis, made from ice cream, frozen rock solid.  The challenge was actually finding ice cream that would freeze hard enough. If it wasn't, it would liquify and you'd end up with ice cream soup in the bottom of the bowl instead of a nice pile of strands. Maybe the key is to let the initial liquid drip off into the sink before squeezing only the spaghetti into the bowl. Let's be 100% clear here: These "noodles" have no structure, you cannot pick them up with chopsticks. This was probably someone's solution to making a brick of freezerburned ice cream dug out from the back rapidly edible, instead of waiting for it to come up to scoopable temperature.  With some lingonberry jam standing in as the "bolognese", usually it's strawberry. No white chocolate on hand to imitate parm, either. But it passed with flying colors. I don't know why I was worried about its durability. I'd have given it a second try, but just over yonder on the stove, I have something else ready and waiting.       I REALLY don't know why I bothered worrying. This thing took on both the fridge-cold butter and the potato like it was nothing. I think I might have have leftover trauma from plastic kitchen accessories, and I might to send the german state department a formal apology or something. In short: Get hosed, OXO, and all you other brands. My potato ricers are german from here on out. I think I'll name it Hans. Or Bertha.
