How to Repair a VHS Tape
Wondering how to fix a broken VHS tape? Perhaps the pieces are not in the correct place inside, or the VHS tape is off of the reels? Let me show you how to open up the VHS tape the correct way, and repair the broken tape inside! It is possible! Let's get as much of the content off of the VHS tape as possible! I often have to repair VHS tapes so that I can transfer the content to a digital format. Once the VHS tape is repaired, I play it from the VCR into a digital converter device called the ClearClick.

    It’s worth knowing that -especially when cooking meat- that these types of stoves “temperature stall” at about 250 degrees until a lot of the water is boiled off. The interesting thing is that meat that is overdone like Chicken and Pork don’t dry out as the steam escape hole on the KECOP is fairly small. The walls of the oven are hotter than 250, but the air temperature stays at 250 because the energy is going directly to boiling the water off and leaving as fast as it comes in. Even at 250 degrees, the meat will begin to brown with enough time-typically an hour and a half to 2 hours depending on how cloudy it is, but even pork that measures 210 degrees internally is still super moist. Best results if you want, say, crispy chicken drumsticks is to use some kind of false floor in the mini-loaf pans to keep them out of the drippings-which you’ll save for cooking your noodles or rice in. I used some stainless mesh I got on Amazon for this. Be careful with the hot tray touching the nylon straps, they will easily melt them. The worst thing you can do with these is shock cool them-despite what the instructions say about pre-heating, it isn’t worth it. You also never want to put cold food into something that is already hot from the cooking process.

    Just a cautionary tip, i find it best to add food before pre-heating. It's only several minutes and the potential of damage is significant when adding cold food in a glass oven. Room temperature is not a concern, but refrigerated or frozen could cause shattering when coming in contact with the hot glass.

    What size are the aluminum pans? Are they reusable? Can regular bread pans be used instead? Or do I need to order pans solely from Kecop?

    • @TamsTips
      @TamsTips ปีที่แล้ว

      You could probably reuse the bread pans once or twice depending on what you cook in them and how hard it is to clean them out. But I wouldn't count on reusing them. Yes, you can use regular bread pans instead. According to the KECOP Amazon store page, you can use anything in it to cook in that you would normally use. It just needs to be able to fit. Mini bread pans that fit, would be perfect! The aluminum pans that come with the solar oven are 6.25" long on the bottom but 8.25" long on the top. They fan out a bit so the measurement changes. They are 2.75" wide on the bottom but 3.5" wide on the top. Then they are 2" high (not counting the lip that folds over a lid -- if you had a lid). I have not found any so far that fit that exact measurement for replacements. However... I found that others on Amazon are purchasing this bread pan along with their solar oven: amzn.to/3ogbYLh. I did the measurements and l believe it will fit.

      The gas mileage isn't great, but about average for a large van. I average 14 miles per gallon (according to the dashboard information in the car) and I am mainly driving non-highways. But for me it works because I am not driving long distances a lot. Just around in the community and an occasional longer trip for music gigs and such. And with the price savings from purchasing this car versus another car (like a Suburban), I have that much more money saved to spend on gas. I fill up about once a week. Sometimes every week-and-a-half. So, it just depends on your needs really!

    The 150, 250 and 350 are not about the lengths but about the different models that tell you the maximum weight limits it can take, namely "Gross Vehicle Weight Rating" or GVWR. GVWR is the sum of maximum weight that includes the net weight of the vehicle with accessories, plus the weight of fuel, passengers and cargo. The Ford Transit lengths are three: The 130 wheel base (the shortest), the 148 wheel base and the 148 wheel base extended. This last one is a longer version with the same 148 base chassis. The one you have is the Ford Transit T-150 Mid-height roof with the 130 base chassis model (the shortest one). You can also get a Transit T-150 Mid-height roof with the longer 148 wheel base.
