The microwave, however, is only half as efficient as stove- top elements. It is better to boil large quantities of water on your stove. The most efficient way to boil water is with an electric kettle. Never microwave an egg whose shell is perfectly intact. The heat causes a pressure build-up and the egg can explode explode in the oven - or worse, in your face after you take it out.- Prick the eggshell first, right through to the yolk, to minimize minimize pressure build-up. To avoid blowing fuses, don't plug the microwave into the same outlet you use for a toaster oven or refrigerator. Thank you for your interest. Readers' ideas or questions are always welcome.

WELCOME TO THE COUNTRY and SEPTIC TANK SYSTEMS People who live in towns and cities don't often think about what happens to household household waste water after they run their washing machines, flush their toilets or pull the plugs in their sinks. Once it enters the sanitary sewer in the street, waste water is the municipality's municipality's problem. In more rural areas most homeowners are not connected to municipal services. They provide their own waste disposal, disposal, using a septic tank system. The septic tank system depends on nature's own waste treatment processes: gravity separates solids and liquids; bacteria breaks down biodegradable biodegradable materials; sandy soils filter the water by absorbing contaminants, harmful bacteria and impurities. Grass roots absorb liquids, using nutrients and giving off water. It is like a small underground ecosystem. Like any ecosystem it has its limits. If it gets clogged up because of misuse or poor maintenance, a septic system can present problems. BUT A PROPERLY INSTALLED AND MAINTAINED SYSTEM WILL OPERATE EFFECTIVELY FOR A VERY LONG TIME. To help alleviate your concerns concerns when purchasing a "country" home, make sure that your Offer to Purchase contains a Septic System Warranty clause. Check with your Realtor for further details. Your comments and questions questions are always of interest to me and I would welcome the opportunity to serve you. @jp k PETER KOWAL Real Estate Limited Broker 52 King St. West Bowmanville Phone: (905) 623-2453 Fax: (905) 623-0136 SERVING BOWMANVILLE AND AREA SINCE 1955 DON'T MISS OUT ON THE CONVENIENCE OF THIS JANE STREET HOME!
