my living room which has cathedral ceilings and skylights is very difficult to keep warm in winternow a suggestion was made to insulate the ceiling of the basement with double side reflective foam bubble insulationnow i was wondering if i can get away with just the regular one side foam board or is that a waste?also any other suggestions are greatly appreciated
Stainless lined? Sounds like you bought a cheap painted pan
No harm-put it in the dishwaser, the stuff on your cloth is probably mfg residue.
No, it's safe to wash it in the machine.
actually, the easiest way to clean a dirty pot or pan is fill it about half full with water and put it back on the stove to cook the residue off the bottom of the panif it's really bad, i'll add a drop of dish soap but don't put too much and make sure the heat is very low or it'll bubble up and overflowsimmer it for about an hour and make sure it doesn't cook dryyou can use a metal spatula to gently stir the stuff off the bottomthen pour the hot water out, run it under cool water and you should be able to wash it with only a spongewhen you say you noticed a metal color coming off onto your clothwhen you look at the pan, can you see where it came from? otherwise, it might have just been a protective coating, meant to be washed off before useare you sure you have stainless steel with aluminum core? because if that's what it is, then there's no way for the aluminum to come in contact with your food at allthat's the appeal of this type of cookwareit utilizes the best qualities of both metals.
You would be better off getting as much fiberglass batt insulation as the structure would allowR-30 insulation costs far less than 1 inch foam board and resists heat much betterYou need 2x10 joists for r-30.
