Chinese pork loin steaks
Can anyone tell me the spices they put on the shop bought chinese pork loins that you can get in the supermarkets. I would like to buy just basic pork loin chops and flavour them myself, as not everyone likes them. Is it just chinese 5 spice? I am not sure it is but thought someone on here may know. Thank you all in advance

How long do your knives last you?
We splashed out on good knives 20 years ago, have had them professional sharpened a few times and sharpen them (badly I expect) at home too. I bought a new knife at the weekend (cheap £3 thing) and am amazed at how well it cuts, ie how bad our current knives are. How often to you change knives, and if it's a long time how…

Instant Pot Duo Crisp v Ninja Foodi Max 15 in 1 - Dithering too long to make decison!
I've been researching for both applicances and still can't decide which is better. What holding me back is the airfryer function and I'm not sure if both do its justice or if getting a separate airfryer is better? I've read the Instant Pot 8l airfryer compartment is a bit small and I've not seen the Ninja in person to make…

They do they job despite looking very tatty but if I walk in a puddle I get a very wet and cold foot and puppy can…

Central heating off feet always cold
I seem to manage to keep the rest of me okay, sat in my room it's 13c. Pretty warm by my standards. However, my feet are always ending up cold and wet. Doesn't matter how many socks I seem to wear one over the top. I'm not diabetic or do I have any sort of circulation problems. Any tips?
