    I'm another pickled onion vinegar fan. Although it seems a waste of good vinegar, which I'd much rather have on chips, could it be used in the washing machine like the malt vinegar that I already use? (Only in dire emergency of course... ;))
    Love pickles, beetroot and chips as a real treat!

    Can't see why you couldn't use it in your washing machine, so long as it's strained of any bits of onion....only in a dire emergency mind you, it's too good to waste in the washing machine. :rotfl:

    I often use the cheapest grape vinegar (which is a bit lighter in colour than brown malt) for cleaning and in the washing machine and dish washer, if I can't get my hands on the plastic containers of white malt. When I do see the latter, I usually buy two or three, and at the moment have a good stock in. Realise that this info is useless for most of you living in the UK, but for anyone living out with and can't get their hands on malt, it's worth knowing, as it works well.

    My FIL uses pickled onion vinegar when making salad dressing. Always tastes lively but never quite the same when we try it at home :o

    Thanks Anne Marie, I always use malt but didn't want to smell like pickled onions if I did have to use it in an emergency. Although I can think of worse things to smell of...;) Handy to know that other types would be ok :T

    It's fresh eggs that are a bummer to peel. Try some baking powder in the water or steam them

    I find letting the eggs crack just slightly ( hairline ) they peel easily enough

    Instead of conditioner. Cheaper and works better at getting the soap out
