Fill a large bowl halfway with ice. Fill the bowl the rest of the way with water. Place the bowl beside the stove so you can access it easily when the beans have finished boiling.  Blanching is the process of boiling vegetables for a short time and then stopping the cooking process quickly with an ice bath. It’s a good way to preserve a vegetable’s color, flavor, and texture before storage, and especially before freezing. Fill a large saucepan with water and put on the lid. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. You can add a tablespoon (19 g) of salt to the water as well if you want to season the beans slightly. Transfer the beans to the boiling water. With the lid off, bring the water back to a boil. Once the water starts boiling again, continue cooking the beans until they're slightly tender but still crisp. Small beans will need about 2 minutes, whereas medium ones will need 3, and large ones will need 4. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Use a slotted spoon to remove the beans from the boiling water. Let the excess water drain from the beans before placing them into the ice bath. Chill the beans for 2 to 4 minutes, or the same amount of time it took to boil them. Plunging the beans into the ice bath will immediately stop the cooking process. When the beans have been chilled, transfer them to a colander to remove the water. Leave the beans in the colander for 5 to 10 minutes to drip and air dry. Once the beans have drained, they are ready to be eaten, cooked any way you like, or stored in the refrigerator or freezer.

summary: Prepare the ice bath. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Boil the green beans for up to 4 minutes. Transfer the cooked beans to the ice bath. Drain the beans.

before washing it. Look for the manufacturer’s tag inside the ballcap. Materials like cotton or synthetics are safe to put inside your dishwasher, but cardboard or wool could get damaged. If the tag says “hand wash only,” don’t put the hat in the dishwasher.  If your hat has frayed edges or tears, consider washing the hat by hand instead. If the hat has sentimental value, don’t put it in the dishwasher since there’s always a small risk of damage. Hat frames or shapers are used to protect the shape and prevent bending. Open the frame and set your hat over the convex dome so the brim is inside. Snap the frame closed to secure the hat. Hat frames can be purchased online or at a specialty hat store. Keep the hat on the top rack only so it’s the furthest away from the dishwasher’s heating element. If you aren’t using a hat frame, prop the middle of the hat on one of the prongs if your dishwasher has them. Any plastic in your hat might melt if it’s placed on the bottom rack. Make sure there are no dirty dishes in your dishwasher when you clean your hat. Food residue could lift off of your dining ware and get caught in the hat’s seams. Gather hats from your family or those you live with to make one large load of hats. Avoid any dish detergents with lemon or bleach since this could change your hat’s color. Pour the detergent directly into the compartment before sealing it. Close your dishwasher once you’ve added the detergent.  Don’t use laundry detergent in your dishwasher. To see how your detergent will affect the hat, rub a small amount on a discreet spot of your hat to see if the color changes. Change the settings on your dishwasher to the coldest and shortest setting possible. Turn off the heating cycle if you can to prevent any creases or wrinkles in your hat. Use the delicate or china setting on your dishwasher if your machine has those options.

summary: Check the material on your hat’s tag Use a hat frame if you’re worried about your hat losing its shape. Put the hat on the top rack of your dishwasher. Don’t wash hats with your regular dishes. Fill the detergent compartment with 1 tbsp (27 g) of Borax or non-bleach cleaner. Run the shortest and coldest wash cycle without heat drying.


Summarize the following:
Both the fan and light in the hood should have a black wire. Attach both of them to the black wire protruding from the wall by twisting the exposed ends together.  Cover the exposed ends with a wire nut. If there is not enough exposed wire, strip the sheathing off the ends with a pair of wire strippers. Repeat the process in step one with the white wires from the fan, light, and wall. Your home's ground wire should be green or exposed copper. Attach it to the green grounding screw and tighten the screw with a screwdriver.
summary: Attach the black wires. Attach the white wires. Attach the ground wire.
