An engineer who's never heard of a pressure cooker? :D

And this is how I've demonstrated the futility and inaccuracy of anecdotal evidence.

However, I have to ask. Why do the instructions for various items state that cooking times are shorter at higher altitudes?

Don't you hate it when the moderators edit your posts?

Perhaps we should also consider the different carbon footprints that each of these methods will incure on our environment. ;)

Hydrogen peroxide and mouth wash do the trick for me.

Seems more like you're the seller of this than just a user (your username is whistleprod and the device is cleanwhistleproducts.com. That is all fine if you're open about it but making it sound like you're a customer is a bit shady.

I also just looked at that. It seems like a waste of money and it really isn't cleaning them. It may be sanitizing them, however. It is blasting them with UV light. That will kill the germs that the light reaches but I'd be skeptical about whether the UV light can reach all the insides of the whistle where it is likely damp the longest and where the bacteria is most likely to grow.

Instead, I pour 2-3 ounces of Listerine in a small cup and drop the whistles into it for a couple hours. That definitely reaches the entire whistle, will kill anything that is there, and will dissolve or soften most of the residue that may have formed so that it can be rinsed away under the faucet. Cost... probably pennies per year.

There is a little irony in this post. :D

Peace

I'm a Listerine Guy myself
 

I just look at the ROI. For the number of whistles I buy over the course of a few yrs, and how long each one lasts (mostly the rubber mouthpiece cracking), how long would it take for this product (for $39.99 plus S&H) to stretch the life of each whistle to where their life and cleanliness would be so much better/longer to make it worth my while?

Guess I'll pass. For me, a solution for a non-problem.

If only I knew then what I know now. :)

At least you weren't sent to the penalty box.

Nothing like resurrecting an almost 6 year old thread! :D

Moderation here sucks.

Inconsistent and arbitarory

And the spelling here sucks.

Don't forget capricious.
