RESULTS RESULTS! Both lower and upper rack were nice cleaned and dry! Only one thing came out dirty, it was the pan in which the roast was cooked: half an hour on the stove and then 2 hours in the oven at 200°C Have a look at the pictures!

Gabriele,
That is so interesting. I have never heard of anything like that before. Where I live, in Philadelphia, we don't have anything like that. In the past, during the summer, the rate of electricity was tiered with the first 500 kWh per month at one rate, and anything over at a slightly higher rate. The only way to know how much power you have consumed in any particular month would be to go outside and look at the power meter. As a part of a several year plan to deregulate electicity in Pennsylvania, we now have the ability to choose our power generator. Starting in 2011, in Philadelphia we have many companies to choose from, with different rates and contracts. Joe CLICK HERE TO GO TO joe_in_philly's LINK | ||

@ Ingemar That's an interesting concept, an electromechanical meter with two tariffs, is that synchronized with some kind of clock that operates the mechanism or does it get a signal on the power-line? | ||

2 rate meters
Seeing that took me back a bit I remember back in the 70's I think it was the then electricity company called MEB thats midland electricity board, Were kean for people to use off peak tarrifs and they wanted those of us with elecric water heaters or heating to have these dual meters fitted. At the time they were good as the difference between day and night units was a lot I think then about 70% cheaper at night mostly we put our water heaters on a timer it was fine as long as you did not run out.:) Then along came washers and dryers which could be set to wait oh what a marvel they were! But after our gas oven dying aand only being able to get a electric to fit we had the dual rate removed as the saving was no longer worth the hassle of only being able to wash one load a night. Sorry for the ramble it all came flooding back to me lol
