    Due to watching UK cooking shows, I've discovered the wonders of a HOT WATER crust! Couldn't be easier. Melt butter, lard, salt, water, etc., mix hot into flour. Roll out, if you feel like it,...

    Finally got around to checking the switch outlet and sure enough all the wires leading to the switch were dead, switch itself seemed OK. Pulled the switch out of the box and came...

    As far as static, ANY grinder with a plastic cup will likely have static. Supposedly ones with borosilicate glass do better with that.
