Re: [CnD] OT: safely unclogging kitchen sink drain
Hi Anna, Thanks much. I'm really new at all of this. Can you tell me a ratio of the white vinegar to water so I'll know how much to pour down it? Also is Zep a liquid or what? Does it have an odor? I have to ask these things as I have no sense of smell and my husband's very sensitive to things like that. Thanks much.

Geibel Subject: [CnD] OT: safely unclogging kitchen sink drain Hi, I'm sorry for this slightly off topic post, but we all do need a working kitchen sink drain for cooking to clean the vegetables, meat, wash dishes or constantly wash our hands when cooking and other things. Ours is draining very slowly and I know there are products that you can buy to help with this, but I hear they're really not safe to use. I can't believe there's not at least one that a blind person can safely and independently use, so I'm asking you guys? I had heard that they had some Draino sticks or something like that and thought that might work, but I don't know the name of them and neither did the person that told me about them. If anyone has any experience with this sort of thing, please give me some tips as I really don't want to call a plumber out till I absolutely have to. If I buy drinking alcohol and pour it down the drain, it helps, which I didn't do, but there was some old bottles around here that I did pour as neither my husband nor I drink alcohol. Again, sorry for the slightly off topic post, but I'd really appreciate any and all help anyone could give?

Re: [CnD] MicroWave oven recommendations.
Hi, Our old large micro went out and we're going to get the Braille one, which is kind of pricey from Maxi Aids after getting a cheaper model from Wal-Mart and it not working. Has anyone had experience with the large Braille one from Maxi Aids? Hoping it will work when we get it.

Ok, first, I know about the talking one, use to own the "TEMO," which had been sold by many stores for as little as $79, but, ours, is going out, starting to smell electronically, so I need recommendations for ones which are blind friendly. I don't need something miniature, :) but good sized, but user friendly for us to use by your definition, or, easily modified to use, or maybe even with some kind of braille overlay either makeable or constructible. :) I presume that most of the later ones have menus of some type which aren't easily feasible without sight, so, recommendations are requested! We have an LG 1200 watt now which we made a braille overlay for. THANK YOU! - Curtis Delzer, HS.

Re: [CnD] cooking pasta or rice a roni in the crock pot
Hi Lisa, SMILE No, at the moment we don't. Ours finally died, we bought a new one and it came not working, so we're saving our money to buy a Braille one in July and I was just looking for ideas till then, but it is summer, so maybe we'll stick with the cold stuff. LOL I'm actually trying rice a roni in it now, so we'll see what happens.

Usually pasta even the regular kind that requires cooking fully doesn't do well in a slow cooker unless the pasta is partially cooked and added at the last hour or so before the meal should be done. Do you have a microwave you could use to get things going before throwing the pasta into the crock?

Re: [CnD] cooking pasta or rice a roni in the crock pot
Hi Lori, Sounds good as I could do things with plain rice. I know the pasta takes 30 to 45 minutes or so I was told on high. Do you have any idea if the rice takes about that long and on the same setting or anything? Thanks.

[CnD] question from a new member about accessible cooking device?
Hi, I just joined this list and have a question about the New Wave oven? I'm told it's nice, but the person I heard about it from can't tell me how accessible it is? If anyone here has one or knows anything about it, please reply or message me privately? Thanks. I'm asking about this as our trusty work horse of an old microwave died finally, we bought a new one, which would have been accessible had it worked and are just looking into options. Right now, they are these as a possibility, the Magic Chef talking microwave and my best girlfriend's boyfriend found a braille one somewhere. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated? It's going to be a hard search as we need this to be able to hold a gallon tall container or a gallon wide container and I think they're making them all fairly small these days?
