Safe winter meat smoking and turkey frying, tips from the San Juan Bautista propane service

Leave a comment

[ad_1]

Pay close attention to where the appliances are located, don’t overload them with meat or turn them up to higher than recommended cooking temperatures. Following these tips are going to make sure the food comes out excellent and everyone has a safe and enjoyable time.

Before starting

  • Check for propane leaks and make sure all of the connections are secure.
  • Maintain a safe distance from structures.
  • Make sure the fryer or smoker is on a flat, stable, and non-combustible surface. Avoid wooden decks or grassy areas.
  • Make sure the appliance is in a well-ventilated area, with adequate airflow.
  • Follow proper food safety guidelines, including safe meat handling, storage, and temperature control.
  • Never leave the appliances completely unattended while in operation.
  • Keep children and pets away from the cooking area. Avoid using water to extinguish an oil fire; it can make the situation worse.
  • Have a fire extinguisher and oven mitts handy.
  • Rely on the San Juan Bautista propane service for an adequate supply of propane.

Cleaning up

  • Allow the oil in the turkey fryer to cool completely before disposing of it and cleaning the appliance.
  • Allow the smoker to cool down before cleaning it.
  • Dispose of ashes and used wood chips safely.

Safe turkey frying

  • Choose a turkey that fits comfortably in the fryer without overcrowding.
  • Make sure the turkey is fully thawed and dried before frying. Ice and water can cause dangerous splattering.
  • Fill the fryer with the recommended amount of oil, as indicated in the manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Never overfill, as hot oil can overflow and ignite.
  • Gradually heat the oil to the desired temperature, typically around 350°F (175°C).
  • Use a thermometer to monitor the oil temperature throughout the cooking process.
  • Always wear protective gear, such as oven mitts and safety goggles.
  • Lower the turkey into the hot oil slowly and gently to prevent splashing.

Meat smoker safety

  • Familiarize yourself with the smoker’s user manual to understand its specific safety features and guidelines.
  • Use only approved fuels or wood chips designed for your smoker.
  • Maintain a safe distance from the smoker while it’s in operation to avoid burns.
  • Monitor and control the temperature inside the smoker using the built-in thermometer or a separate one.
  • Avoid overheating, as it can lead to flare-ups and excessive smoke.
  • Use quality wood chips or charcoal to ensure consistent heat and smoke. Never use treated wood or other potentially toxic materials.
  • Don’t overcrowd the smoker with too much meat or wood chips, as this can affect air circulation and temperature control.

In the world of cooking, safety should be the first ingredient in every recipe. By mastering turkey fryer and meat smoker safety, you can savor the joy of creating delectable dishes without any unwanted surprises. So, fire up the equipment, follow these guidelines, and embark on a culinary adventure that’s both delicious and safe. Happy winter cooking from the San Juan Bautista propane service.

Ziegler Closes $68,530,000 Financing For ACTS Retirement-Life Communities, Inc.

Leave a comment

[ad_1]

The proceeds of the Series 2023 Bonds will be used to reimburse a line of credit in the amount of $55 million for prior project costs in Delaware and to fund future project costs of $13 million in both Delaware and Pennsylvania. The project costs funded with the bonds and the line of credit include various upgrades and renovations to residential and healthcare units and common areas.

“Acts evaluated a number of financing options with our banking and underwriting team throughout the fourth quarter,” stated Amy Castleberry, Managing Director, Ziegler Senior Living Finance.
Castleberry continued, “Ultimately, Acts’ confidence in the improving fixed rate market and Ziegler’s ability to negotiate with investors the opportunity for Acts to refinance in seven years at no cost led to the selection of the fixed rate option as the most attractive. The scale and sophistication of the Acts’ financing team along with Acts’ strong ongoing investor relations platform enabled the transaction team to move from decision point to pricing to closing in just over one month, meeting the organization’s end-of-year timeline.”

Susan Ahern, Chief Financial Officer at Acts, added “We are thrilled that this financing allowed us to enhance our resident experiences through additional amenities and furthers our strategic initiative to enhance privacy in our healthcare centers. We have a very long history of partnering with Ziegler on debt financing transactions and we highly value the talent and expertise the Ziegler team brings to each transaction and the guidance they provide. Ziegler delivered sound advice as to the timing of when Acts should access the market as we ended up over four times subscribed allowing us to reduce our spreads. The great advice, service, and execution Ziegler provided allowed us to have the quickest financing transaction in my twenty-four-year tenure with the organization. We would not have been so successful without them.”

Ziegler offers creative, tailored solutions to its senior living clientele, including investment banking, financial risk management, merger and acquisition services, seed capital, FHA/HUD, capital and strategic planning as well as senior living research, education, and communication.

Leave a comment

[ad_1]

The survey asked business leaders, including chief executive officers, owners and senior executives, to weigh in on a range of topics, from the advantages the county has for businesses to challenges they have, additional assistance needed, and the outlook on their economic future.

Results include:

  • Almost 60% of respondents agreed that it was easy to find resources and support for their business and agreed that the County is an inclusive place to start or run a business.
  • The county scored a 10 on a Net promoter score, indicating a favorable likelihood of recommending the location as a business destination.
  • When asked about their feelings about the economic climate in the next year, 47% of respondents were somewhat or strongly optimistic regarding the County, however 46% were strongly or somewhat pessimistic about the national economic climate in the next year. Some of that sentiment may be connected with the fact that businesses have generally performed well in the past two years, with 84% seeing level or improving sales, with just 16% seeing a sales decline in the past two years.
  • Almost 80% of the businesses believe they will still be operating in the county in five years, with just under 8% believing they will not; the balance was unsure. The outlook for expansion showed 45% saying they were considering expanding operations in the next two years.

Frederick County: Rich History, Bright Future

  • The largest drivers of positive impacts on growth in the short term were demand for their product or service, mentioned by 67%, and technological advancements mentioned by 59%. The factors having the largest negative impact were inflation mentioned by 76% and economic conditions cited by 53%.
  • The highest request for assistance was financial incentives for expansion (53%) and marketing and promotional support (35%). Mirroring national trends, 68% mentioned encountering challenges related to workforce availability, retention, or recruitment.
  • Other areas that businesses expressed challenges with included permitting and regulatory issues. This is reflected in the top two types of support they would request which were workforce training and development, and assistance with permitting and regulations.

“Success in economic development is not just about financial gains, but also about fostering a positive and supportive environment,” said Lara Fritts, Director of the Division of Economic Opportunity. “The positive results of our business sentiment survey reflect a thriving culture in Frederick County where businesses feel valued, motivated, and empowered to contribute to the region.

By sharing her story, Pope hopes to encourage readers to understand the responsibilities that come with owning a pet, teaching them the importance of providing love, care, and attention to their companions.

Armed Forces Bank Partners with Vector to Provide Preferred Mortgage Lender Program for Vector Employees

Leave a comment

[ad_1]

As a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, Vector understands the unique challenges, as well as the opportunities, that veterans have when purchasing a home.

“Vector is fully committed to empowering our employees’ dreams beyond the workplace by exploring partnerships that benefit and empower them,” said John Hotek, vice president of strategy and workforce solutions at Vector. “Our partnership with Armed Forces Bank provides our employees with a trusted, vetted, veteran-centric mortgage lender that understands and has been recognized for their service to homebuyers, especially veterans and first-time home buyers. Launching Operation Homeward is a testament to our commitment of providing tangible support and fostering lasting stability in the lives of our valued team members.”

Since 2013, Armed Forces Bank has helped nearly 28,000 homeowners close over $9.2 billion in loans and more than 12,000 homeowners close over $4.7 billion in VA loans.

“The partnership between Armed Forces Bank and the Vector family of businesses makes complete sense as the synergy between these two companies – whose primary goals are to help veterans – is engrained in the culture and white-glove service approach we take with all veterans,” said Nick Alphs, president of mortgage lending at Armed Forces Bank. “I’m excited to get this kicked off as I envision all the veterans we’ll help working with the high-quality individuals at Vector.”

Jake Scarbo, Armed Forces Bank senior mortgage banker, designed and will lead the Operation Homeward program. He said it is “the result of two like-minded companies with similar principles and core values finding more ways to serve those individuals who have served our country.”

“We’re excited to partner with Vector and their outstanding leadership team to provide all their employees – veterans and non-veterans alike – with a superior mortgage experience through fast, easy and personal service,” Scarbo added.

Armed Forces Bank’s mission is to provide quality financial products and services tailored for active-duty and retired military, Department of Defense personnel, civilians and their families in all 50 states and around the world.

Uniquely qualified to serve as the preferred mortgage loan partner to Vector employees, Armed Forces Bank has been consistently honored by the Association of Military Banks of America with the Distinguished Bank of the Year Award, Designation of Savings Excellence and the Community Impact Award.
