I've read that the glitter in cards and xmas paper contaminates the rest of the load and all has to be scrapped...

M & S have collection points for cards which are recycled in aid of the Woodland Trust until the end of the month.

Does anyone here use a pressure cooker?

Good morning everyone. Hope you are all well.

Bubbs - I use an electric pressure cooker for my batch cooking. Use once or twice a week for bolognaise, chilli, soup, curry, hams, etc. I am onto my 2nd 6 litre one as worn the first one out. You can fry your meat off in the pan then add liquids, bring to boil then cooks very quickly. I make 3 x 2 person meals in it, then freeze 2 of them in ice cream tubs for following weeks so have my own ready meals just to defrost in fridge and reheat.

I used a traditional one before the electric and prefer this to the slow cooker. I also car booted by electric steamer as could not get used to it.

I have an electric pressure cooker too Very little noise Love it , but only tried it a few times Once I manage to get food stock under control I hope to use it for more than soup and veg and batch cook more

Made Chinese chicken wings in the slow cooker at the weekend They were fab Even DH ate them as the meat just fell off the bone

Enjoy your day

I tried to do my best to separate the shiny stuff and only put in what I thought could be recycled but thought I had read I didn't need to take off the sellotape. Oops!

I have heard different stories on "contamination", some authorities say the whole load is no good others that it is sorted anyway. We only have the one recycling bin so I think ours gets sorted anyway, so I guess stuff gets rejected at that point. But I know other authorities have particular bins/bags for each type of recycling.

Our paper goes into a separate bin then bottles, tins etc into another. Although I usually take the paper to the supermarket recycling bin as I'm there quite a lot :rotfl:

It's hard to know sometimes. Someone told me one item can contaminate a whole bin. Not sure if that's true or not.

Goodness knows what happens with communal recycling. They had to close the one at our Tesco's 'cos people were treating it as a tip and at Morries there's usually paper sticking out of the plastics/tin bin and vice versa. Plus if the bins are full people just pile up mountains next to the bins!
