Costco MENISSEZ Stone Oven – 6 half French Baguettes $3.99 MADE IN FRANCE (Bake at Home)

Costco MENISSEZ Stone Oven – 6 half Baguettes for $3.99. They are made in France! I love the smell of yeast and fresh bread in the morning so I have a bread maker machine (https://amzn.to/2ymbBV7 ) on timer. But it doesnt come out like a French Baguette, you need a French BaguetteBaking Pans https://amzn.to/2RK7EAk for the shape.

With these imported French Baguettes, it will take about 10 minutes to bake at home in an oven, or 3-4 minutes to slices in a toaster. This is super convenient compared to the hours making it from scratch ( https://amzn.to/3bi85to ).

I love using my home bread maker to automatically make fresh bread in the morning. I made a video of it. Its a 90s model and still works! here is my DIY on making french bread with an automatic bread machine :

Using a whetstone ( knife sharpening stone ) for the first time.

I wanted to learn how learning how to sharpen my kitchen knives using a whetstone. There are many types whetstones sold online ( https://amzn.to/2R0hy0g ) ranging from various grits of 300 to 8000. I wanted to learn the fundamentals before I upgrade to better Santoku knife ( https://amzn.to/3dLVm3R ) and a better whetstone in future. Btw, my Youtube vlogs and reviews may also have associated affiliate links to products that may earn from qualifying purchases.

I went out and bought a $1 whetstone and a $1 entry level Santoku (https://amzn.to/3dLVm3R ) style kitchen knife from a dollar store to practice on. My parents have been using their 20+ year old 8 inch whetstone to sharpen every knife and scissors in their house since i was a kid. My dad loved spending time sharpening knives. I always wanted a Santoku knife and aspire to own a better one in the future.

After spending about 1 hour sharpening my $1 Santoku blade, it was really sharper compared to factory! I was able to easily cut paper and dice apples .
Things I learned from this practice:

  1. Keep your focus on technique, motion and consistent angle for a good sharp edge (burr).
  2. Keep the whetstone and knife wet and lubricated. This keeps the metal shavings build up low on the whetstone.
  3. A new whetstone needs A LOT of water in the beginning. It was easier just to sharpen the knife in a tub of water.
  4. Even $1 Whetstone can make a $1 Santoku knife razor sharp. Definitely worth it to have in the kitchen or garage for extending the lives of knives and sharpening tools.

I will be practicing more on my $1 whetstone before buying more advanced whetstone ( https://amzn.to/2R0hy0g ) in the future.

TPMS Errors … My TPMS is acting up. WHY!?

I installed a 3rd party TPMS tire pressure sensor so i can monitor each of my tire pressure during my drive. Honda tire pressure does not show actual tire pressures. I bought one online ( https://amzn.to/2ncBVf6 ) for about $30. I installed it about 6 months ago. See the install review here:

Btw, my Youtube vlogs and reviews may also have associated affiliate links to products that may earn from qualifying purchases.

After 6 months, two of the sensors started acting up. One stopped sending signal and another showed very high temperature and low pressure. To trouble shoot i removed the TMPS battery on the to reset it and was on my way. After 1,000 miles, it happened again. I believe the 1632 battery was low powered and either stopped sending signal or send incorrect errors like 172 degree and low tire pressure 24 psi.

I swapped out the battery and it worked again. Lets see how long it lasts. Was it worth it. To me its still worth it. I tested the tire pressure against my digital tire pressure gauge (https://amzn.to/2naQQGH ) and fount it accurate.
