article: If you like your cauliflower to have a little bite, cook it for 3 minutes. If you know you like cauliflower to be completely soft, microwave it for 4 minutes. Microwave the cauliflower on full power. The cauliflower will continue to cook as it rests. After 1 minute, wear oven mitts to remove the hot bowl and carefully lift the lid or covering off. Insert a fork into a floret to see if it's as tender as you want.  The steam in the bowl is very hot, so lift the lid away from your face. If the cauliflower isn't as soft as you want, cover the bowl and return it to the microwave. Heat the cauliflower for 1 minute and check it again. There might be a little water left in the bottom of the bowl. If there is, carefully pour the cauliflower into a fine-mesh strainer over a sink so the water drains.

Use your inventory turnover as an approximate measure of efficiency. Compare your inventory turnover to industry averages."
article: As noted above, finding your average inventory from your  beginning and end inventory values can get you an approximate average for your inventory, but this value will not take into account inventory fluctuations throughout your time period. Using additional data points will make your value more accurate.  When choosing data points, make sure your points are evenly-spaced throughout the time period at regular intervals. For instance, if you're finding average inventory for a year, don't use twelve points from January. Instead, use one point from the first of each month. Let's say that our starting inventory for a year of operating our business is $20,000 and that our ending inventory is $30,000. Using the basic method above, we would get an average value of $25,000. However, just one additional data point can give us a different picture. For instance, let's say we also use a point from the exact middle of the year with a value of $40,000. In this case, our average inventory is ($20,000 + $30,000 + $40,000)/3 = $30,000 — a little higher (and more representative of the actual average) than before. With one extra operation, you can find how long it takes you on average to sell your entire stock of inventory. First, find your yearly inventory turnover as normal. Then, divide 365 days by the ratio you got for inventory turnover. Your answer will be the number of days that it takes you to sell your entire inventory on average.  For instance, let's say that we have an inventory turnover ratio of 8.5 for a given year. By dividing 365 days/8.5, we get 42.9 days. In other words, on average, we sell an entire stock of inventory about every 43 days. If you found your inventory turnover for a period of time other than a year, substitute the number of days in your time period for 365 days in the formula. For instance, if you had an inventory turnover of 2.5 for the month of September, you would find your average time to sell your inventory by dividing 30 days/2.5 = 12 days. Usually (though not always) businesses want to sell their inventory quickly, rather than slowly. Because of this, a business's inventory turnover can be used to gain clues about how efficiently a business is operating, especially compared to competitors. However, it's very important to remember that context is important in these sorts of comparisons. A low inventory turnover isn't always bad and a high inventory turnover isn't always good. For example, luxury sports cars don't usually sell very quickly because there's a fairly small market for them. Thus, you might expect an import sports car dealership to have a fairly low inventory turnover rate — they may not even sell their entire stock in a single year. On the other hand, if the same dealership suddenly has a major spike in inventory turnover, this might be a very good thing, but it might be a bad thing, depending on the context — for instance, this may signify a shortage, which can lead to loss of sales. One useful way to judge a business's operating efficiency is to compare its inventory turnover ratio to the average value for businesses in the same industry. Some financial publications (both in print and online) publish average inventory turnover rankings by industry sector, which can give you a rough benchmark to measure a company's performance against. One such ranking can be found here. However, again, it's important to remember that these values represent industry averages and that, in certain contexts, it may be a good thing to have an inventory turnover significantly lower or higher than the published value. Another handy tool for comparing a business's inventory turnover to industry averages is the BDC inventory turnover calculator. This tool allows you to pick an industry, then find a hypothetical inventory turnover ratio by inputting a business's COGS and average inventory and compare it to the average value for the industry you picked.

article:
Use sandpaper or steel wool to scuff the sides of the stainless steel object.  Scuffing the steel will create a more age-worn appearance. It also removes some of the protective coating, allowing more of the vinegar to penetrate and work its way through the metal. Steel wool pads will usually create deeper scratches, so if you want to create more subtle wear, use sandpaper instead. Choose a medium to heavy grit sandpaper for best results. Place the prepared steel item in a plastic bucket or in another similar container made of non-reactive material. All sides you wish to antique should be exposed. If one side is covered or hidden against the side of the container, the vinegar may not work as effectively there. Pour vinegar into the container, covering all sides of the stainless steel piece.  You may want to wear safety goggles and safety gloves when handling vinegar. Even though vinegar is a mild acid, it could sting if it splashes into your eyes. Vinegar can also be a mild irritant if you have sensitive skin or if your skin is submerged for prolonged periods. Every side touching the vinegar will be affected. Any type of vinegar should work for this project, but white distilled vinegar is recommended since it is fairly cheap and easy to come by. If the steel piece starts to float, hold it down by placing stones or dry beans on top of it. Make sure that the vinegar still has access to the piece, however. Keep the steel piece submerged in the vinegar for at least eight hours.  The piece should look subtly aged and worn as soon as you remove it. When you remove the piece, rinse the vinegar away with clean water and dry it with clean towels. If the antiqued appearance isn't as notable as you would prefer, soak the stainless steel for a longer period of time.  Stainless steel comes in different grades, so this may not be effective on all steel pieces. High-grade stainless steel is more likely to resist corrosion than low-grade stainless steel. If the vinegar doesn't produce results, you could try using a more corrosive chemical. Toilet bowl cleaner generally works well. Bleach, denture cleaner, and silver dip may also yield results.  When using harsher chemicals, always wear safety goggles and rubber gloves. Never mix chemicals, either, since doing so can produce dangerous fumes. Thoroughly rinse and dry the piece before attempting to use a different chemical.   Once you are satisfied with the appearance, the project is complete. These results should be permanent.
