Water heaters have an anode in them. The purpose of it is to self destruct in order to save the water tank. The corrosive demons that naturally occur in the water tank attack the anode, thus saving the tank. The cheaper water heaters have a puny anode whereas the better ones have a beefier anode. I once read that the main difference between the heaters that have a 5 year warranty and the ones with a 15 year is the 15 year warranty has the better anode. The good news is the anode is usually replaceable. So, you might try this, make sure to draw off a gallon of water every now and then to keep the mineral deposit build up to a minimum and have the anode replaced every couple of years.
Sounds like that guy is giving you the super economy model, Italiancook.
My previous water heater lasted about 30 years. The plumber who installed it advised me to draw off about a gallon of water a couple times a year but to be careful when the unit gets older because it's possible the spigot won't shut completely (it was plastic). So I did that for about 10 years but then stopped. It lasted another 20 (it was a Rheem). I think I replaced it 7 years ago with another Rheem. This one has a brass ball valve for maintenance but it doesn't have a knob, I have to use a screwdriver. This one advises to draw off a gallon every month. So far, so good.
Go on Youtube for some water heater maintenance info and tips.
I'm a big fan of measuring by weight. However, most recipes are not written that way and not everyone agrees to how much a cup of flour weighs.
Last night I made shrimp with pasta and cauliflower.
I have pizza dough left from the batch I made Thursday, so tonight's dinner will be pizza.
Happy Birthday, CWCdesign, hope you have a great day!
I made a pizza last night, with thin sliced onion, mushrooms and green pepper. The sauce was pasta sauce with mushrooms that I thickened with a dollop of tomato paste. I made the dough with equal amounts of durum, semolina and whole wheat, hydrated at 70% and a couple of teaspoons of butter and olive oil. It came out pretty good.
I made stuffed peppers yesterday so for dinner I had a pepper with brown rice and mushroom gravy. I think I'll make mashed potato with tonight's pepper.
I had pizza pi with pepperoni, sausage, onion, red bell pepper and mushrooms.
Your pie sounds good, Mike.
I'll be making a pizza pie for dinner.
On Saturday I made a stir fry with leftover roast beef, red bell pepper, carrots, celery, broccoli and mushrooms and had it over noodles.
I made roasted salmon, fettuccini with broccoli and carrots.
I made a small roast beef yesterday. I had a roast beef sandwich and broccoli for dinner tonight.
