I wouldn't bother with salmon. It's easy to overcook at the best of times. E.g. - if you want crispy skin then DRY the skin and place skin…

Costco sell frozen wild caught Sockeye salmon from Alaska and it's great if you like the flavour - it's stronger than Atlantic salmon which…

No, a company who imports bulk oil and packages locally. Nothing wrong with that, it's how this Business works - I doubt any farmer will…

Read before you comment please - "packed in Australia from imported ingredients" Genuine 100% local produce will be way more expensive.…

A few years ago they used to be great. Not so much today after they were bought out. Dumbed down and far more "slurry".

That's just reality. Australia grows very cashews.

Unfortunately very few cashews grown in Aus - a simple fact. That said, I much prefer the cashews from Costco compared to any of the local…

Manufacturers will setup nearly all modern cars to understeer - it's generally safer for the average driver. I.e. the front slides out, you…

I last checked side by side during Covid - these are the 2 pack Aldi pies for about $5.50 and the contents were identical... That said,…

I've installed about 10 sit/stand desks over the past 12 months and certainly don't remember all the brands however my point is if you…

I've bought a few of these for small Business customers (10 or so now) and all have been fine in use. The E14 is great for portability, the…

Why not just read the file and see?

Kmart used to sell a mains powered 1.5L deep fat fryer - I find ideal for smaller things have have to be fried e.g. battered mushrooms etc.…

Always. 2 or 3 star mince, preferably the former or just use Brisket etc or perhaps mix with a bit of pork. Keep it simple! 2 mins per side…

2 star is often better. You need the fat content for decent burgers, something like 25% is ideal.

Lots are changing over to battery tools now. I can't comment on these but DeWalt, Milwaukee etc are all over the place nowadays.

This was a reply to an earlier comment but it's worth putting out there:- Sadly, a family friend who's 23 years old was hit by a car and…

Sadly, a family friend who's 23 years old was hit by a car and has now lost half of a leg. This was in the UK not Aus but this is a…

Shallow Fry - No Air Fryer - No It's a deep fryer with a rotating basket set at an angle such that 30%-ish of the contents are exposed to…

I've got one of these and it does a decent job. I only use it for chips though and change the oil after 4/5 cycles - it only uses perhaps…

I'd just change the oil but what I'd really like to see is an oil analysis done to see how the oil had faired over 12 months of presumably…

Me too sadly...

Simple Economics - Supply Vs Demand etc. I do enjoy Pepsi Max but always buy on special e.g. Amazon has the 1.25L bottles at $19.44…

Not as good as those you get from Costco but good value and not everyone has a Costco Membership... Tend to use these more for cooking,…

Are there really any decent frozen pies out there now? Herbert Adams have gone seriously downhill since they were bought out and most…

I moved here from the UK 22 years ago and brought my Ikea Euro King Bed (1.8x1.8m) assuming a mattress would be available in a metric…

I'd trust Tesla batteries far more than these both in lifespan and availability come time to replace.

This is very possible, particularly if there's a small amount of play in the wheel bearing. Been there...

I do, it's very good, not quite as powerful as a leaf blower but would do the job well enough for most purposes and has an extension tube…

Good idea to refill used bleach/spray kitchen cleaners etc.
