Re: resistors

The average small resistors are only 1/4 W, the best idea is to buy ceramic resistors. They charge about 40c each for 5 W and about $1.80 for 10W What I do is buy double the resistance value I need and wire 2 together in parallel this halves the resistance but doubles the wattage Therefore I get a 1...

Re: starch powder

I ordered starch powder a long time ago and was sent cornflower.
It didn't work not soluable
Ordered again Soluble starch and sent some orange stuff, (think sweet potato) terrible!
For food testing I now always boil a little bit of rice strain water
Works perfect every time!
