[CnD] Re) coffee grinder

[Jennifer Sparks via Cookinginthedark]

We have a Black and Decker coffee maker that grinds enough beans for a pot and 
brews the coffee. You can find it on Amazon for not much more than fifty 
dollars.

Re: [CnD] Cooking bacon

[Jennifer Sparks via Cookinginthedark]

It does come out crispy. You cook it at about 375 degrees.

Re: [CnD] Cooking bacon using air frier?

[Jennifer Sparks via Cookinginthedark]

Lay the bacon out flat in the basket. Try not to put pieces on top of each 
other.

Re: [CnD] Cooking bacon

[Jennifer Sparks via Cookinginthedark]

We like to cook bacon in the air fryer. The grease cooks out, and the small 
amount that remains drains into the pot under the basket and away from the 
bacon.

Re: [CnD] MicroWave oven recommendations.

[Jennifer Sparks via Cookinginthedark]

Panasonic makes some models with actual start and stop buttons. There are bars 
on the number pad so you can find the numbers similar to some older cell phones.

[CnD] K-cup brewers

[Jennifer Sparks via Cookinginthedark]

We have a Remington Da Vinci brewer we purchased from Rogers Family 
Coffee Company. You can use cups or pods and it has a capsule you can 
use to brew your own coffee. Best of all, it has physical buttons you 
push to choose the size of cup you want and a physical brew button.

[CnD] Keurig 2.0

[Jennifer Sparks via Cookinginthedark]

Hello, we have the Keurig 2.0 brewer. I had someone help me mark the 
place on the screen where you select the cup size and the program 
button. As long as nothing gets out of sync you can learn how many times 
to touch that button to select the cup size. However, there is no 
audible feedback from the machine, and you can't actually tell how many 
times the button has been press. Keurig still sells an older model that 
is accessible. Hope this helps. Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention that 
we used the stick on gel dots to mark the screen.
