steeping

[Deleted]

A quick question (me being a bit thick)
When steeping in a ulrasonic cleaner do you use water in the cleaner

I don't use an Ultrasonic for steeping as I've yet to be convinced that anything beats some time and patience rigdriver . . . . it's the difference between a naturally ripened tomato and a forced one for me.

I have done the ultra-sonic steeping when many people suggested it as a way of speeding up the process but to be honest, I believe it was a bit like the kings clothes. If you believed it worked then it did.........but, I did not believe it then and I do not believe it now. There is a visible change in colour but that is all. A change in colour does not necessarily mean a change in the flavour, I never found any enhancement of the flavour. As both Perps and Clivia have said, the only way to steep your liquid....... is to steep your liquid, I don't believe there are any short cuts.

I've heard some vendors use a magnetic stirrer to speed up steeping, not sure if it works but I'd imagine continually stirring the liquid with this method would speed things up.

or you could cellotape it on the steering wheel for a week

Might work if you drive a go kart

Greg - just thought the motion of the motor and the steering - why not combine hobby and work

or the shock absorbers
