Got my new pressure cooker. Now I have a new question.
Last week some of you reccommended brands of pressure cookers. I was no
longer able to get parts for my old one. I bought the 6 qt Fagor rapid. I really like it so thanks to all. New question: Is there a way to eliminate the smell of spices in those empty plastic McCormick jars. I would like to share some of my new spices that I buy and use very seldom with neighbors who live on fixed incomes. Anne |

I will try both baking soda and clorox. I have washed them in hot water
and left them open to air for weeks. It didnt work at all. Yes, these women are senior citizens and are quite nice people. Bob, you wonder why they are broke. Its the cost of prescription drugs that takes a large chunk of their income also the ones I want to help are widows living on half the income they had when their husbands were alive. I am fortunate, my husband is alive and we have good prescription coverage. Using their empty prescription containers is a great idea. Thanks again to all. Anne |

Unfortunately prices are > not fixed in the US and people on fixed incomes get swallowed with rising > prices, inflation etc. What's really sad is how many working people are on fixed incomes these days. Big whoop, get a little raise and the cost of your benefits or taxes goes up. I would hope, though, that people understand, you can't just count on social security or pensions anymore. Sock away as much as you can of your own money. SS was never meant to support you. It's a lifeline. nancy's public announcement for today |

Why bother; buy new jars, and recycle the old ones yourself for the same kind of spice they once held or else take or give them along with glass, etc. to your local recycler. You'll never perfectly purge the odor from the plastic, which will in time give the new spices an off taste. |

An optimist hopes they are. =========== For that matter, you can go to Big Lots/Odd Lots and buy their's for $0.48 a piece. They may not be as fresh as Penzeys but are better than nothing at all. You could also just buy their containers of parsley, dump it out and refill with whatever you want. The parsley jars don't seem to hold as much scent as some of the other herbs/spices. HTH, Cyndi |
