I had to try this one out and see how it works. I used a pint (16 oz) standard Mason jar. You could probably use 4, 8 and 32 ounce Mason jars also. You cannot use the wide mouth ones. I was skeptical at first so I used plain water at first. It worked. I decided to make myself a chocolate shake from milk, ice cream and chocolate syrup. You screw the blender blades with gasket onto the Mason jar firmly. Then turn the jar upside down and install it onto your blender housing and turn on the blender for a few seconds. When done blending, UNPLUG the blender for safety and turn the whole unit upside down to remove the jar. I didn't want to make a mess in case the jar unscrewed from the blades. I am enjoying a chocolate shake as I write this. This gives me an idea about using onions and other things that need to be chopped in my recipes using a 4 or 8 ounce jar with a little water to help chop up things up in my cooking experiments.

Don't put anything hot into the jar because it could explode. I have read of many people who got badly burned using a blender to blend hot soup or spaghetti sauce causing the lid to blow off and hot liquid to go all over. Why take a chance? I would hate to see anyone get hurt with a glass grenade with hot liquids. Just a word of caution.

When you have to drain the grease f Dr on meat, don't dump off down the drain, put foil in a bowl, pour it in, and when it cools, wrap it up and throw it away!

Pouring grease and melted fats down the drain will plug your drains. Many fats such as animal fats and fats from some plant sources will solidify and build up on the internal walls of your drain pipes. I pour all of my grease into empty tuna fish cans or larger cans. I pour my used Canola oil onto my compost pile.

I've used hair spray to get ink out of my clothes.

Save your money and do not buy those high priced EdenPure, Heat Surge Amish made and other so called heaters that promise huge savings on your heating bills. You are better off buying some cheap poultry heat lamps. I am tired and will expand on this later. I will try to explain the thermodynamics of electric heat in simple terms. Save your money and don't get taken in by all of the false advertising of these miracle radiant heaters. I will try to explain later when time permits.

I hate to see people waste their money on these high dollar infrared heaters. Do your research and look up the models that you are interested in.

When one pays over $400 for these heaters, you still get only 5100 BTUs of heat @ 1500 watts of electricity. 1 watt produces 3.41 BTU per hour. You will not get your money back in savings on these heaters. Watch the wording of the ads and read between the lines. Sure you can heat up to 1500 square feet if you consider the outside ambient temperature, your home's insulation and heating your house from 50F to 51F. And what is it with those remote controls? Any 1000W to 1500W electric heater will heat one small room in the winter. These high dollar heaters use heating elements enclosed in glass tubes which transfer heat by radiation onto some plates like copper and then a fan takes the heat and blows it into your room. A cheap $20 heater will do the same thing.

The next time that you go shopping, pick up some empty cardboard boxes. Look for the tall ones that measure taller than the sides. Try to get tall enough boxes that are about 2/3 times or more taller than the depth of your chest freezer. I have a couple of small chest freezers so I use some small or medium size boxes. Keep the flaps of the boxes intact. They are useful to add height plus they fold down to make room for the wire baskets if needed.

Configure the boxes so that they take advantage of all of the freezer space. You can always get more boxes later for a more perfect fit. Fill the small spaces between the boxes with small items like boxed vegetables or other small items like a TV dinner or pizza. Using these boxes will keep your pork, beef, chicken, fish, vegetables and fruits separate and easy to find.

Please excuse any of my typos, spelling or grammar mistakes in my comments. I am not writing a research paper or term paper. If you get the general idea of what I am writing about, then that is what matters most. In the past on other forums, I have been chastised for my spelling and grammar.

Years ago, I had to go to the library and read often outdated books that printed false information. I wish that the internet and computers were around 50 or more years ago. You younger people are so lucky to access much knowledge and wisdom from the comforts of your home at any time of day or night.

I don't have a smart phone or the latest gadgets. I have a simple cell phone for long distance and also for emergencies. Try to find a phone booth now in these modern times.

Here is a good web site for internet research or to find what you are looking for on the internet. Put it into your favorites for future internet research. I have no idea how many of the links work. Be very careful as the internet is full of viruses and malware. Be prepared for them. I once got a virus looking up a food recipe.

Here is an all in one web site to research information from the internet.

Enjoy and do your own research. There is too much to learn in a human life time. Life is way too short. I only wish that I could live for thousands of years. I know that it is not possible which is why I look back on history.

ink on your clothes can be removed with some rubbing alchohol. and dried blood on your clothes can be removed with some hydrogen peroxide.

Alcohol is a very good solvent and degreaser. It is also very good for removing adhesives. For my alternative medicine experiments, I use grain alcohol.
