The range is also dishwasher-, microwave- and freezer-safe, so is a versatile, easy-to-use option whatever you want to use it for.

“We drive the truck into a pool of mud, cake mud all over the vehicle, and make it basically 2,000 pounds heavier. You have a ton of mud. Literally,” Raymond said. “Let it dry. Layer it again. Let it dry. Then you have to clean the damn thing off, so we get a power washer. Can it handle that?”

Able to hold up to 36 cans or jars, the Simple Houseware stackable can organizer is a great way to make the most of the space in your kitchen. It's also stackable so that you can store even more cans if needed, and there's no hardware required — as this sturdy organizer assembles quickly in less than one minute.

We tested out the 1.2-litre storage box, and found that, thanks to its tight lid seal, it was entirely leak-proof, airtight and kept our leftovers ultra-fresh. There’s a wide range of sizes, from 0.15l to 8.2l, too.

Dear Heloise: I am constantly receiving requests for contributions from nonprofit organizations. Some send return envelopes with stamps.

The dual cryopump vacuum system is sized specifically to maintain the high vacuum while the thrusters are firing inside the vessel. The Tenney space simulation chamber design considers the OSHA, NEC, and ASME Code for Unfired Pressure Vessels.

Kitchenware brand Tefal is well-known for its affordable yet high quality products, and its Masterseal Fresh range offers effective food storage at great prices.

We can start by considering open-air sun drying. Sun drying merely requires a tray or rack for food that can be placed outdoors. This works fine for some applications, and there is little or no material cost involved. However, sun drying is relatively slow and results are unpredictable. Food is exposed to the elements (rain, wind and dust), and constant supervision is needed to make sure raccoons don’t run away with it, birds don’t poop on it, mice don’t munch on it, and ants, bees and flies are kept away.

It’s also super-affordable, so you can stock up and use a whole collection for your kitchen storage needs – they look great on both the worktop or kitchen shelf.

Leslie MacKenzie is good at sharing — her home, her garden’s bounty, her bicycle, her ideas. MacKenzie is co-founder of Transition Longfellow, a neighborhood sustainability group that has operated out of south Minneapolis since 2011. For eight years, MacKenzie has been living the “sharing economy,” teaching herself, her husband and neighbors ways to share housing, transportation, food, skills and more. In this new year, I asked her to help us practice what she preaches, which is “tapping into the abundance within our community by finding ways to give and receive.” MacKenzie will teach a class on the sharing economy March 4 at Pratt School through Minneapolis Community Education.
