Oh, my friend Lisa bought a similar countertop oven. Now she revives limp veggies into soup and her waste has really gone down.

Heard a real case about a flickering bulb, @nora10. Creepy stuff.

My aunt taught me to make kraut with just cabbage and sea salt back in Oregon. After reading @henderson.cameron's point, I realized I was overthinking it with all the gadgets. I stick to her method, using my hands to mix and a plate as a weight, and it ferments perfectly every time. Trusting the old ways has made my fermenting way more relaxed and fun.
