Kitchenware: Clean the limescale on the kettle

Sun, 22 Feb 2026 20:09:53 -0700

We have a disc electric kettle at work, we use it for more than a year, there was a scale on the disc, it became unpleasant to drink tea. Just rinse and rinse does not help, what can you clean? I would be glad to hear your suggestions!

Kitchenware: How to disassemble Foodsaver Big Game Sealer.

Sat, 29 Nov 2025 23:43:42 -0700

I recently purchased a Big Game sealer, but it is not receiving power when plugged in. I've seen how-tos for older sealers, but not this one. There appear to be sealed screw wells, but I've tried prying those out to no avail. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm assuming one of the power connections came loose.

I have many knife sharpeners, but none of them give me the RAZOR sharp edge I want/need. Any recomendations ? My electric sharper, for example sharps BUT IT ALSO GRINDS DOWN THE METAL TOO MUCH.

Where do I get replacement stones for the Chef's Choice 120?

I'm not getting a lasting edge anymore. I spent some time with a machete on the sharpener and may have damaged it.

Kitchenware: Repairing a pepper grinder that doesn't grind peppercorns

Mon, 09 Jun 2025 16:17:20 -0700

True, I just paid a dollar for a used hand held pepper grinder that twists rather than has the crank. It looks just about new : shiny, clean, not much wear. But it doesn't grind peppercorns. I have it apart, the mechanism is simple. There are only two screws holding the bottom on. It could be the reason why the person that brought it to thrift store dumped it. But no parts look missing. The grinder wheel is worn but I don't know what is normal for that.

Kitchenware: Hand mixer stops after 5 seconds

Sat, 05 Apr 2025 22:55:23 -0700

I have a 5 speed Viking hand mixer that stops after 5 seconds. When I turn it on it goes right to top speed and then stops. When I unplug it and plug it back in it runs for another 5 seconds and stops. Hopefully this rings a bell to someone.

Kitchenware: How do I rejoin a stainless knife

Wed, 27 Nov 2024 17:25:41 -0700

I have a set of stainless cutlery and the knives are two parts (the blade and a handle). Several of the knives have come apart. I have tried several different glues but none seem to work. The finished product must be able to withstand washing (hopefully in a dishwasher). Any suggestions?

I tried this but because the area where the glue goes is not exposed to air, the glue didn't seem to 'set'.

Knife: Chunk missing from knife handle

Sat, 21 Sep 2024 23:42:25 -0700

I have a large chefs knife with a full length metal tang. The hard plastic? handle material has come away either side of a hole through which the two sides of the handle connect. I have one piece but the other is missing. What glue/epoxy/material would be good to form the missing piece and attach to the knife and loose handle piece?

Kitchenware: glue for fine china

Sat, 03 Aug 2024 07:43:14 -0700

When I was young we could buy something called China Weld, a clear glue that is good for ceramics. I can't seem to find anything thin and clear now that could also go through the dishwasher. Any suggestions? I am in Canada, but could have something shipped as my mug is special to me, and just the handle is broken. I could handwash, if necessary.

Ceramic Knife: How do you keep Ceramic Knives sharp

Tue, 03 Oct 2023 00:50:20 -0700

I bought some ceramic knives when I had my steel one sharpened. Loved them—for say 6 months. Then—well, steel knives I sharpen with the steel, and then have them ground. With ceramics—sharpening professionally is $$$$.

Hi, I have a Caffitaly Coffee maker but the water is not pushing through the pod. It pierces the pod seal, but there is not enough pressure to break the bottom part that allows the coffee to dispense. I have tried to find a repair manual to no avail.
