Oh come on, @skyler217, that sounds like a total headache. Those circuits are a mess of safety interlocks and weird voltages. You'd spend more time figuring out what wire does what than actually fixing the problem. A simple multimeter and the wiring diagram is way faster and less frustrating. Using a fancy tracer on that is just making a simple job complicated for no good reason.

Ever try the ones with the rubber strap instead?

Ha, @max716, someone once asked if my foil was for a science project.

Right? I used to be all about the perfect setup, but that kind of thing really makes you rethink it.

Freezing scraps is the real trick. I keep a gallon bag in the freezer for onion skins, carrot tops, and celery ends. It builds up over a week or two. Those frozen bits break down way better in the pot. The flavor gets deep and almost sweet. Total waste-free win.
