    Halogen Stoves

    Halogen stoves work with kadai/wok just fine. The video I had posted earlier shows how it can be used. Induction doesnt work though.

    Halogen Stoves

    I have a gas cylinder and 2 burner stove already. Just noticed that my ignore list was lost with the forum upgrade - restored it and the thread looks great. That is good to know. I wasn't able to find any halogen models on Kaff, Celica or Fabers website. Can you help me find some resources?

    Halogen Stoves

    They work with all utensils (except for enamel bottoms) and are very convenient to clean. No issue of dealing with gas cylinder suppliers either. Where are they available in Bangalore? I see single hobs for ~Rs3k in online stores. Any idea about price for a 4 hob cooktop? Why are they not more...

    Why do front loaders have drain pumps?

    ^ Looks like that is the correct reason. Thanks everyone! I dont see many such installations in India though. I wonder if any manufacturer will make a cheaper front loader by not using a pump. But I hear that most manufacturers are just assembling kits from OEMs like Bosch.

    Residents of Bangalore please help

    ^ These are good areas to stay. You can add Kasturi Nagar to the list. Marathalli to CDAC should be ~30mins by Volvo bus. Look for a PG. Start from ~3k/mo for shared rooms.

    Residents of Bangalore please help

    The areas near the metro line are kinda expensive. Maybe you can try places near Ulsoor. You should look along the Outer Ring Road, K.R.Puram to Marathalli section. CDAC is easily accessible from these areas by bus.

    Why do front loaders have drain pumps?

    ^^ Draining to a sink makes sense. But I don't think thats the case for most installations (?). My assumption was because the fully automatic BPL and Sharp top loaders at home doesn't have a drain pump. The valve is connected to the lowest point of the drum and the water drains due to gravity...

    Why do front loaders have drain pumps?

    While top loaders have just a drain valve. This means extra initial cost and possibly costlier maintenance. Im pretty sure the pump uses more electricity than valves. Are there any front loaders with drain valves?

    Android AT&T Pantech Burst - Discussion Thread

    Thanks! I had to change the settings on "Secret Code Revealer" to get it to work. ICS has a bug with switching between 2G and 3G. I had to use a shortcut from widgetsoid to be able to toggle. Pantech ICS ROM is messed up.

    Double Booster / Triple Booster stabilizer - do they draw voltage from neighbours?

    ^ Is the supply at 100V all day? What happens when the supply is at 220V - probably burn the equipment? The step-down converters usually have a fixed 2:1 winding ratio. So 220V will get converted to 110V. If supply is only 180V, then output will also go down to 90V. Low voltage problem...

    Android AT&T Pantech Burst - Discussion Thread

    Im not able to turn on USB tethering after the ICS update, asks me to call AT&T. With Gingerbread, I used "Code Revealer" app to get past the AT&T restriction. With ICS, though I see the correct settings in the "Code Revealer" app, Im not able to enable tethering. Any other way without rooting?

    Roof Flooring idea for Heat insulation

    None of them can work. People would be using it for insulating pipes and so many other things if a thin layer of paint can be insulating.
