Reading of 200 degrees F when immersed in boiling water. IF I cover the boiling water then it goes to 210 or so but that is a problem as when making candy I do not have a lid on the pot. Can you help?

In vigorously boiling water, it should read 212 (at sea level) or a little less, depending on your elevation - lid on or not. Maybe the water wasn't boiling fast when you got the 200 reading. Make sure the probe tip is not touching the pot sides or bottom.

SOURCE: Why doesn't my cover fit tightly?

There's nothing you need to do differently except place the cooker where a little splashing won't hurt anything. This is typical of all crock pots. The cover fits loosely because it must allow steam to escape. When water turns to steam, it expands. If not allowed to escape, the steam pressure would explode the vessel. The simplest and cheapest way to let the steam escape is to let the lid lift freely. Some of the steam re-condenses into water as it escapes, and then it sputters and splashes as more steam comes out. They could make a more complex system to control the mess, but then a crock pot would be bigger, more expensive, and harder to wash. I know this might not be the answer you hoped for, but it's a truthful answer to your question so I hope you'll rate it accordingly.

SOURCE: Bialetti sputtering after gasket replaced

Flame is too high and the top is not screwed tightly enough to the bottom. Also make sure there is enough fine ground coffee in the funnel.

SOURCE: I have a Kenmore Gas range. The major stove top

This could be a problem with the gas regulator, gas supply pressure or the burners need to be cleaned. Here are the cleaning instructions for the burners. If you are still having problems with the burners I would recommend having the gas pressure & regulator checked.

Flip up the curved cover latch and then pry open the top of the battery compartment cover with a long fingernail, small screw driver or coin. I agree it could be easier.

What is the normal running coolant temp on a 91 eldorado Biarritz? And what temp is to hot? My car usually stabilizes around 210-220 is that normal?

Cooling systems on vehicles are pressurized to allow the engine to operate at more efficient (higher) temperatures. This is accomplished by fitting a radiator cap that allows the pressure to build as coolant heats up. You can check the pressure imprinted on your radiator cap to determine what the boiling point will be. At 10 psi of pressure, the boiling point of water is 240 degrees F. At 15 psi, the boiling point is 250 degrees F, and at 20 psi, the boiling point is 260 degrees F. So your engine running at 210-220 is probably within the design specifications of your engine.

Put water in radiator temporarily if you have to?

Yes you can, but be aware that plain water will boil at 210 degrees.
Most thermostats don't open until 195 degrees.

Hypothesis concerning the effect of decreasing the temperature on the rate of production of gas from an alker seltzer tablet dropped in water

Reaction with water produces carbon dioxide fizz.
Baking-soda and citric acid react with water to produce sodium citrate and carbon dioxide.

If the water is below 32 degrees and in ice form, then the reaction would be slowed, and/or stopped depending if there was surface moisture on the ice.
Between 32 degrees and boiling, it might be possible that higher temperature water with more actively moving molecules could penetrate more quickly, and disperse the CO2 quicker allowing reaction to be faster.
Above boiling, when water is in steam state, which might be hard to contain and maintain, the table would probably dissolve as water vapor condenses on surface, but it would probably take longer than immersing tablet into glass of water..

Pour very hot water into one glass.
Pour very cold water into another glass.
Drop a table into each glass and see if there is noticeable difference in time before the tablet dissolves.

Thermostadt was stuck open replaced thermostadt now it runs just a little hot

Yes, try a 180 thermostat, with a 195 the fans will not turn on until about 210.

Low Temperature

250 is not low, it is just about to boil over, coolant boils at 260 in a closed system, water boils at 120.Your car should not exceed 200, 220 max. Or just 100 degrees over the outside temp, like 87 degrees out, your car should be running at 187. Until you stop at a light and it idles for a minute, then it will climb.

Whats the normal operating temp on a 2000 Suburban 5.3 Vortex Eng? It's 90 above degrees temp wise in the city. Temp gauge in the truck shows between 200-210.

That temp is normal especially considering the ambient temp. A 50/50 antifreeze/water mix not only prevents freezing but raises the boil temp. The pressure in the system also does that. So, in reality, your boil temp is above 230 degrees.

Hey, I've go a nissan b14 1995, and the cooling system isn't working. The fan turns on when it reaches the mid temperature but after a while of using the car, the water on the tank starts boiling...

check temperture with thermometer if above 210 degrees check thermostat for correct operation and one easy way to check this is to drive at hyway speed then quickly check for boiling if not thenypou might have a blown head gasket /when car isnt hot or boiling pull radiator cap and smell for gas fumes or exhaust fumes if so its a blown head gasket napa sells a head gasket kit that you can easily use to check this also

The repair is VERY expensive and may exceed teh value of the car. The issue is the head bolts strip out of the aluminum block....very pricey to fix.

But do the test first. Also, there is a smaller size bleeder hose between the engine and the fill/overflow tank, be sure it is not plugged.

Engine temp goes up to 230 degrees

It's actually normal for engine temps to go up to 220 deg. F or 230 deg. F in the summer time, even in normal engines that run at 196 deg. F typically.

This happened to me with no malfunctions on my 1997 Cadillac Deville, yesterday.

Actually, engines run more efficiently at higher temperatures like this.

Just make sure your coolant is topped off and that it fluctuates between lower temperatures and this high reading.

This is a normal temperature in my experience for GM vehicles.

I purchased a perko urn model #107Sss and the water has a terrible metalic taste. What can i do

I bought the same horrible, cheap, dishonest unit. They disingenuously say to rinse and boil once. I've boiled the water at least twelve or thirteen times. They also brag it doesn't need immersion (not because such units don't require immersion since that will damage the unit and they don't need immersion) but because of their superior spirituality. Let them answer for dishonesty in 120 years.
