Pyrex Bowls with Handle P-150-B or V-150-B

Pyrex bowls with handle. These are fantastic. They are the perfect size for meal prep and can go directly from the fridge/freezer to the oven or microwave. You can get lids for them too but they are getting hard to find. The V model is the clear Visions line and the P model is the white one.

Pyrex later branded this as the GRAB IT bowl. Same thing...cheaper logo.

There are fakes out there too. Make sure it says Pyrex on the underside of the handle or you probably have a piece of dumb garbage. They made them with a few different patterns on them and even made one for Corning Ware that has the blue corn flower logo. The one shown has a glass lid. I have only ever had one of those. THe plastic lids are better but both are hard to find.

This stuff is very durable and can be dropped on a hard surface and not break or chip Pyrex was developed by NASA (from what i read) to be used on rockets and used on the shuttle nose cones to survive re-entry. I guess if it is good enough for that, it is good enough for my soup.

These were huge in the 80s or maybe I just think they were because i used to eat out of them all the time. Still do.

Harbor Freight Drummond 110v Transfer Pump

This little pump is the best investment i have made in a long time. Harbor Freight sells these little 120v transfer pumps for about $65. They can be had for less than $50 using a coupon. I think tehy claim they can move 300+ GPH. They claim they are not for dirty water but seems to do just fine with leaves and grass clippings etc.. The come complete with a short length of standard garden hose for the inlet side and also has a nice surface fitting to suck water off the surface of something like a concrete floor. Very handy and in my experience will suck water down to ~1/8 deep. I picked mine up on a whim from HF more than a year ago as i was having some flooding issues in the yard in the spring. The low spots filled with water and with the ground still frozen there was no place for the water to go. Fearing it would continue to fill up and i would have issues with water getting into the house i grabbed this. I have used mine nonstop for hours and hours. I have run it in freezing c...

Best wash bucket / cleaning unit

I have been using normal 5 gallon pails for washing cars.....and for washing parts its usually a cheap small clear tote which usually fail or crack about every year and need to be replaced. Mostly from the degreaser etc...it just eats them away and makes them brittle. I stumbled on this. It just said tote and was up high. I grabbed it down and it has a REALLY beefy handle.......and grit grate for parts washing which is great. It will hold enough liquid to wash a car or two and its heavy black plastic so out in the sun it will keep your cleaners warm. Its also pretty big and will fit any parts id be cleaning. Happy to have found this and i will probably pick up another. I think they stack. For less than $10 you cant go wrong. Looks to be an unreal deal. I wont be able to really put it to the test until spring but it looks like a winner.
