Winnipeg Plumbers Ensure Quality Water for Your Bread-Baking Needs


A typical loaf of bread will last for several days before it gets hard and stale. At this rate, some are inclined to throw it away; but Rochelle Billow of Bon Appétit says there's still hope. H2O to Rehydrate Stale Bread Assuming there are still no signs of mold growth, a slice of stale bread will benefit from a quick bath. Make sure the crust is positioned in a way that the cut-side is facing away from the faucet, but a soaked slice is still good. Warm it up for around 7 minutes (add 3 to 5 minutes if you really drenched it) in 300 to 325 degrees in the oven. Bread goes stale due to a process called retrogradation. As starch molecules harden over time, the bread loses its moisture, which gives its softness. Reheating the bread forces the molecules to reabsorb the moisture, further enhanced by water.

Signs to Look for: Do You Need a Winnipeg Furnace Repair Service?


Valerie Ferguson, a civil servant from Winnipeg, had to rely on space heaters and blankets to fight off the winter cold. This is because her condominium unit’s furnace broke down—in the middle of what has been reported as the coldest winter within a century, no less. Being in a cold continental climate area, Winnipeg goes through cold weather within most of the year, with winter temperatures that can be absolutely brutal. Its summer is warm but short. At around 132 days every year, the city gets more than 1 cm of snow depth. Canadians from other provinces even jokingly call the place “Winterpeg”.

The Many Benefits of a Winnipeg Plumber-Installed Dual-Flush Toilet


Flushing a toilet is one of the biggest uses of water in Winnipeg homes. With clean usable water growing scarcer every minute, every responsible homeowner should do his part in helping conserve water. A traditional toilet uses up more water than a dual flush toilet; in fact, in the year 1992, the U.S. government stated that only toilets that use no more than 1.6 gallons per flush should be used. This led to many toilet manufacturers implementing new designs for more efficient toilet systems like the dual-flush toilet, which can be installed for you by a professional Winnipeg plumber from businesses like Bison Plumbing & Heating, Ltd.
