Black n Decher stainless steel, perminent filter, I have tried water, bleach, vinegar, water over and over then ran hot sriing water and such for days then just water about 10 times. The pot is immaculate (baking soda and viinegar) No matter what I do the whole thing smells like bad water or something ANY OTHER CLEANERS? ANY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS ? It is 2 years old and has hardlt been used. Thanks
a)the freezing compartment is positioned at the top, not the bottom, of a tall deep-freezing unit. opeaning the door of such a unit for a short time has little effect on the temperature inside the unit.
b) small engines may be air-cooled, but larger engine, e.g. in motor cars, are usually water-ooled. eletrical equipment, e.g. transformers, is oil-cooled.
c) air is cooled when it is blown past coils in which a liquid is continuously being evaporated.
d) ice cubes dropped into a cup of hot water float on the surface of the water. when the ice cubes melt. there is no change in the water level.
e) on a sunny day at the seaside, the water is cooler than the sand.
f) the base of a saucepan (pot) is made of stainless steel but the handle is made of hardened plastic.
g) a burn resulting from contact with steam at 100 degree C may cause greater injury than one from contact with the same mass of water at 100 degree C.

Scatterbrain that I am, I turned an element on my range full blast to boil water, and wandered off.
At least an hour later (I know, I know) I return, alarmed, to find the water has boiled off. I turn off the heat and put the pot on another element, but now it’s making cracking sounds (the pot). 
Is it beyond repair? It’s stainless steel, but the bottom is a bit blackened and the inside looks stained.
If not, how can I dispose of it safely? I’m nervous about touching it as it is still making popping sounds. :S
Thanks for your help everyone!
Thanks everyone for your quick responses.
I’ll let it cool for quite a while on it’s own first (those popping sounds are terrifying!).
And then I’ll try some suggestions for cleaning.
Thanks again! 
Hi, I was trying to boil water last night on my electric stove. I remember commenting that it was taking longer than usual to boil – it was steaming like crazy but not boiling. Suddenly the water just exploded – and whatever water was left in the pot then began boiling happily away.
I’m assuming that somehow the water was superheated (which I know can happen in microwaves). But on a stovetop? What happened? How can I prevent this in the future?
For reference: I was using a stainless steel 2-quart pot, tap water, and an electric coil stovetop. Immediately before cooking, I had washed the pot with dish soap and a scrubby brush, rinsed well, and then filled with hot tap water.
Needed to know if anyone knows anything about a Oster hot and cold water dispenser stainless steel. If the water gets cold and if you can use a regular water bottle with out the pierceable sealed caps. No where on line that I could find do they tell you any information on this product except you can find it at Target but only shows the product and price and no additional information. Need to know, we buy bottled water but they do not have the pierceable sealed caps and they don’t come that way. Please advise. Have the product but have not taken it out of the box until we find out if it will except the bottle water bottles without the pierceable sealed caps.
Seriously, the bottom of the pot is pretty much pitch black. I’ve let it soak for about an hour with dish soap and hot water, and it didn’t really do much. I’ve scrubbed at it with as much as elbow grease as I can muster. I can’t use steel wool because the pot is stainless steel and will scratch. Any ideas?
Several members have written about how to get the plastic taste out of electric drip coffee makers. We’ve tried Krups, Cuisinart, Braun and others. They all have plastic water tanks and coffee grind holders, and use plastic tubes to carry hot water. Does anyone know of an electric model that uses stainless steel mechanicals to avoid getting plastic in the coffee?
We rinsed out an air filter in a stainless steel cooking pot, but we are now soaking it in dish soap and hot water… is it still okay to use?
