Regardless, you’ll be rewarded with a crispy, flaky shell and a soft, gooey custard filling.ġ/4 cup sugar (use less if you don’t like it too sweet)ġ7.5 ounces frozen puff pastry, thawed according to package directions (you should have 2 sheets)ġ. Next time, I’ll try dropping a vanilla bean, pandan leaf, or orange blossom water into my custard. The recipes I found flavored their custards with vanilla extract, cinnamon and/or lemon peel. Have you come across excellent Portuguese egg tarts in your hometown? These tarts may not be on par with the originals from Pastéis de Belém in Portugal or the famous specimens from Macau’s Lord Stow’s Bakery but I can live with that. In the end, I decided my tarts still tasted amazing so I wasn’t going to worry if my custard puckered or if their tops weren’t adequately splotched. Hard as I tried, I couldn’t achieve the smooth glossy sheen and deep brown patches as seen here. Sometimes, perfection is futile and even unnecessary. If I had one, I could easily create the bruléed top peculiar to Portuguese egg tarts, stress-free!ĥ. nuns’ habits and monks’ cassocks) and the leftover egg yolks were turned into cakes and pastries which were often sold to raise money.Ĥ. Egg tarts were born from happenstance. According to this article, convents and monasteries in 19th century Portugal used large quantities of egg whites for starching clothes (e.g. As with many foods, the recipe evolved to take on local characteristics-cornstarch instead of wheat flour, the non-sprinkling of powdered sugar or cinnamon, etc.ģ. Don’t expect Portuguese egg tarts in Macau to be the same as they are in Portugal. Well, not exactly, but Hong Kong used to be a British colony and traditional English custard tarts are made with short crust pastry.Ģ. I’m guessing that puff pastry is a legacy of the Portuguese egg tart while short crust pastry comes from the Queen. I’ve come across Hong Kong-style egg tarts with shells made from both short crust and flaky, puff pastry and I’ve always wondered why the two variations. And I did learn a few lessons about egg tarts, and myself!ġ. I feared for my oven when I turned it up to 500F (the highest it would go!), especially when it locked itself up and decided it was going to ‘clean’ mode.įollowing Andrea Nguyen’s cue on her blog, I decided to bake the pastries at a lower temperature and switch to broil to finish them off.Īs with many things in life, I chalked it up to a learning process. And trying to acquire the umbra of burnt patches atop the custard was close to hellish. Buying the pastry was easy preventing the custard from curdling–not so much. I’m not much of a baker and I’ve never tried making egg tarts in any shape or form but the recipes I came across online made it seem so simple, especially if you use store bought pastry! Using recipes on and as guidelines, I devised a recipe. The tarts traveled with Portuguese colonials to Macau, and eventually made their way to Hong Kong where they evolved to become a staple at dim sum restaurants and beyond. These delicate custard-filled puff pastry tarts have signature brown-black splotches, a result of the high heat they’re baked at. Now I’ve not had true Portuguese egg tarts, but many a dan taht (romanized for 蛋挞, ‘egg’ in Chinese, and ‘tart’)– those irresistible Hong Kong-style egg tarts - has slid into my happy belly.Īfter a little more research, I found out that pastéis de nata were created in a monastery in Belém, Lisbon over two centuries ago. ![]() Sort of randomly, I came across an article extolling the wonders of pastéis de nata, or Portuguese egg tarts, in a British magazine of all places! Insert a toothpick into the custard, if it stands on its own, it’s done.A flaky, crispy shell houses soft, gooey custard. Bake for another 10 to 15 minutes until the custard is cooked through or the pastry is brown. The custard would collapse once they are cooled down otherwise. This method is to avoid custard from being puffed up too high. Once custard being puffed up a bit, pull the oven door open about 2 to 3 inches. Preheat oven to 200C.Bake tarts for 10-15 minutes until the edges are lightly brown. Fill the pastry with about 80% of the pastry. Beat the egg yolks sieve the egg yolks into the milk mixture. Warm the milk, pour the sugar into the warm milk to dissolve. While pressing the dough, turn the tart tin clockwise/anti-clockwise in order to make an even tart shell. Lightly press the dough with your thumbs, starting from the bottom then up to the sides. Line dough in the middle of tart tins, one by one. Lightly grease the egg tart tins/muffin pan. If no egg tart tin use muffin pan to replace. Cut dough with a cookie cutter that is just a bit smaller than your tart tin in size.

![]() Expanding water can flow into the expansion tank instead of exiting via the valve, and the water heating process can continue to work. You can typically solve an excess pressure problem by installing an expansion tank, which will give the pressure an outlet that isn’t the valve. The water won’t have anywhere to go if the system is closed, and the TPR valve opens to relieve the stress. The water heater does its job and heats the water, which causes upward expansion of the water and an increase in pressure. But if the water leak is active while the pressure, the water pressure in your plumbing system probably isn’t causing it.Ī closed plumbing system usually causes excess pressure. If the gauge shows the pressure is at 150 psi or more significant, excessive water pressure is probably causing your pressure valve to leak. With all other faucets and water outlets turned off, the pressure should be between 40 psi and 80 psi. You’ll need a pressure gauge with threading designed for garden hoses ‒ the one linked above has this feature. While there are many locations where you can connect the gauge to your plumbing, the easiest option is to connect it to one of your outdoor hose faucets. Don’t worry about connecting it to a hot water pipe or a cold water pipe ‒ both will show the same pressure. You need to buy a pressure gauge (available on Amazon) and attach it to your system of pipes. Testing the pressure level in your water heater is a relatively simple process. If your TPR valve is constantly leaking, there’s a good chance it’s working precisely as intended and is relieving excess temperature or internal pressure. High Water PressureĪlthough many people automatically assume a leaking valve is a broken valve, that isn’t always the case. If your valve is set to a different set of specifications, you might have a valve intended for another appliance. While settings can vary between brands and models, the valve is typically set to open when the temperature exceeds 210 degrees, and the pressure exceeds 150 psi. ![]() The water heater could explode due to thermal expansion if excessive pressure rises to an unsustainable level. If this valve didn’t exist, your water heater would be a ticking time bomb sitting in your home. This is because the temperature of your water needs to rise to a ridiculously high level to set off the valve. This safety valve exists to provide water and steam the chance to escape when the temperature or pressure gets too high inside the water heater tank.Īlthough the name contains both “temperature” and “pressure,” most valves are almost exclusively used for water heater pressure relief. The Purpose of the Pressure Relief Valveīefore we get started, I want to give a quick refresher on what the TPR valve does. The rest of this article will take you through the causes of water leaking from the pressure relief valve and explain how you can fix each of them. Identifying the cause of your temperature & pressure relief valve leak may take a bit of time, but you should be able to figure it out without too much trouble.

Some examples of bitcoin miner software are ASICSeer, CGMiner, and MultiMiner. If a miner wants to use different mining software, they can download them online. Today, most ASIC mining rigs come with pre-installed mining software. Therefore, they outperform other chips in performance and energy efficiency. These rigs are customized and built only to mine cryptocurrencies. ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit)ĪSIC mining rigs are the top-performing bitcoin mining hardware in the market today.Users can reconfigure the hardware to mine a specific coin based on the cryptocurrency’s network’s cryptographic hash algorithm.

Here is what you need to mine bitcoin at home (competitively):Ī mining rig is a computer custom-built to mine cryptocurrencies. The bitcoin mining industry has become hyper-competitive, mainly resulting from technological advancements in mining hardware. ![]() Gone are times when you could run a profitable mining operation from your laptop. Miners also receive gas fees for processing transactions. The miner receives newly-minted BTC in return for their effort.Ĭreating the block is not the only way bitcoin miners earn BTC. If all the other miners and nodes come to a consensus regarding the proposed block’s validity, a new block is added to the blockchain. The first miner to solve the puzzle wins the chance to propose and create the next block of the Bitcoin blockchain. The pool members share the proceeds according to the hashing power contributed.īitcoin miners protect the network by solving cryptographic puzzles that prove the validity of the transactions in the block. Pooled mining refers to several miners (individuals or companies) coming together to produce blocks more frequently.Solo mining refers to a single entity (individual or company) attempting to generate new blocks on their own and keeping block rewards for themself, e.g., by mining bitcoins at home.The primary function of bitcoin mining is to prevent bad actors from defrauding the network and its participants.īitcoin mining comes in two forms: solo mining and pooled mining. ![]() What is Bitcoin Mining?īitcoin mining is the process of proposing and creating new blocks on the Bitcoin blockchain, for which miners are rewarded with newly minted BTC. ![]() The Bitcoin protocol can not function with its miners. ![]() Not only do bitcoin miners process transactions, but they also prevent fraudulent activities and double-spending of coins.

Where was this muck coming from? Evidently sand particles from the casting of the 6.0L engine blocks can leach out of the metal and into the water jacket, according to the experts. When this murky coolant was drained and allowed to sit still for a time, a fine silt settled to the bottom. But we found a few other items in the coolant system that required some attention as well.Īfter disassembling a number of failed heat exchangers (for both the EGR and oil system), and also noting a significant difference between oil and coolant temperatures, the source of the affliction become apparent: sludge and debris. Here’s a stock 6.0 Power Stroke, viewed from the location where the coolant filter will be installed. The point here is that just because you have 100K-mile coolant in a vehicle, if it’s more than three years old, it’s no longer 100K coolant. At right is a new tank, at left is a used one, showing discoloration. These two coolant reservoirs from a Duramax show how contaminated coolant can get over time, and why it needs to be checked regularly. Don’t run any number higher than a 24072, because you can actually put too much conditioner in the system, which will also cause fallout of casting sand from the block. You can use just about any brand of standard coolant filter on the market, such as from NAPA or the IE WIX, but only with a minimum amount of additive (part number 24070 has no additive, and 24071 has the lowest amount of conditioner inside the filter). The ball valves make it easy to replace the filter with a minimum of drips. It includes a billet coolant filter housing, mounting bracket, pipe plug, two stainless steel ball valves, a pair of coolant lines, and installation hardware. The coolant filter system from T&A Performance is simple to connect, requiring less than a couple hours of labor. And on the 6.0L, whose oil cooler has minute water and oil passages, this can spell death to the cooler and EGR cooler downstream. This gets a lot more out than just a drain and re-fill.Through the process of corrosion from combining aluminum and steel parts on an engine, debris can find its way into the cooling system. Go a little further and remove the coolant plug(s) in the side of the engine block.Just drain the radiator by removing the petcock.Usually running the engine until it is hot, draining cleaning fluid, then adding the additive. Buy the cheaper kit with just the chemicals.Buy a flush kit with cleaning and additive chemicals and a hose "T" from the local Autozone or other parts store chain.Do not use the newer type since you truck is older. ![]() Thanks.Īnswer: There are several ways to flush the cooling system of your vehicle. Truck has a lot of miles want to do some maintenance. Question: I'm just needing to know how to FLUSH my cooling system before i add new coolant to it. Many times a blown head gasket will not show an external leak but instead the pressure will cause the mix, especially on a diesel with so much cylinder internal pressure. Also if the engine is running bad then this could could also be the cause. You can do this with the engine running as well looking for bubbles. This would be the sign of a blown head gasket. If the pressure test shows that it won't hold then look in the radiator for bubbles. Then a good flush of the cooling system would also be needed as residual oil would still show up for some time in the antifreeze. If there is no sign of external leaks on the engine or a head gasket problem, then the oil cooler is most likely the problem and the radiator would have to be replaced. The antifreeze is discolored and has a sort of goo all around the radiator cap and inside.Īnswer: The oil cooler is located inside the radiator. ![]() ![]() We were also wondering where the oil cooler is located on this truck. Question: I would like to know why oil is getting into the radiator and coolant. |
