Download Steam Quicker

There never was fast freight in the steam era. Between coal and water stops, as well as dragging tonnage up grade at less than 10 MPH. Getting a steam powered train over the road at any speed was an accomplishment.

Today's 'priority' trains are faster than anything that was even contemplated in the steam eral Even the PSR land barges move more tonnage faster than any steam powered trains could get over the road.

Plenty of fast steam freight -- the Speed Witch, the BSM, the trains pulled by the N&W As and Seaboard 2-6-6-4s... just about any discussion of AMC power but Nickel Plate freight in particular, right to the end. Arguably some of the wartime trains behind PRR Q2s. I do not have timings for the post-4-6-6-4 D&H but that was an operating 'paradigm shift' from Loree's drag era.

In my opinion you could happily operate TrucTrain or Super C consists behind suitable steam, although the right kind of diesel-electrics were 'better'. I would not have wanted to maintain fast timings with steam, though.

What the UP did with Centennials and Fast Forties would be difficult to imagine even with good Challenger power. We had a whole era of 70mph Z trains stopping and starting that would be difficult to achieve with steam. What changed was economics favoring slower speed, and (not the same thing exactly) not being willing to support the costs of higher speed directly.

In the "super power era" that began in the 1920's, it was recognized that now you could build steam engines that were both powerful and fast, and freights could now be run at much higher speeds. I don't know that diesels really changed anything, you might have a 4-6-6-4 replaced by an A-B-B-A set of F-units, roughly the same horsepower and same speed potential.

One thing the 'steamologists' want to gloss over is the number of fuel and water stops steam engines made, especially in freight service when they were being worked at anywhere near their maximum potential.

UP's Big Boys consumed 11 tons of coal and 12000 gallons of water - PER HOUR. Yes stops could be extended by using large tenders - most railroads 'big' tenders were on the order of 25 tons coal capacity and 25 or 30 thousand gallons of water capacity. Smaller engines were still hungry and thirsty and had much smaller tender capacities. Remember the CARDINAL rule of steam railroading - NEVER RUN THE BOILER OUT OF WATER.

Most major passenger carriers also operated a number of 'Fast Mail' or express trains. The B&O operated a pair between New York and Chicago and another pair between New York and St.Louis. Trains would generally be storage mail and REA Express and sometime have a working RPO. The mail trains would have a 'rider coach' carrying the markers and giving the rear end crew a place to ride - most rider coaches were not air conditioned, cars in mail trains were equipped for trainline steam heating.

Consider NYC Fast Freight schedules. In 1949, during the steam era, the fastest Chicago to New York schedule was around 38.5 hours. In 1965, with diesel, it was 32 hours. Those were Depart and Arrive times for trains. Today's CSX and NS intermodal schedules aren't much faster, if at all. CSX I-010 lists 32 hours Bedford Park to N. Bergen, NJ (Cutoff to Available). NS shows 33.5 hours for 20E and 20K.

One of the major premises of Flexi-Van was quicker speed, both in intermodal transfer and in lessened wind resistance, lower cg. etc. One of the greatest advantages was that, if the correct number of bogies and yard tractors were present, a given train could be gang-loaded or unloaded in what might be little more than the time to unload; I don't know haw carefully NYC actually got prestaging precision of how the equipment would be 'blocked' (in the theatrical sense) to facilitate it, but a railroad capable of building a turbojet RDC on a science-project budget could surely have figured this out.

I came across a video on TikTok by @futurelettuce showing a 15-minute seitan recipe. I had to try it immediately! Unfortunately, even after trying it a few times, I wasn't super happy with the results. The seitan is first fried, and then you cover the pan with a lid for 10 minutes to cook it through. The problem with this is that by covering the seitan after it is fried, it tends to lose the crispy outside due to the steam. Or if you cover it and there isn't much moisture in the pan, then it can run this risk of burning before the seitan is cooked through. And I don't know about you, but soggy burnt vegan chicken just isn't my thing. The end result is spongey and rubbery, and just not super delicious.

But I loved the idea of making a quick seitan recipe so I had to play around with different techniques until I came up with my recipe for the quickest and easiest seitan recipe! In my experience, no matter how many techniques I try, steaming seitan is always a must. Boiling seitan makes it have a brainy spongey texture, frying seitan (without first steaming it) makes it rubbery and spongey, baking it makes it dry and rubbery. Steaming seitan, on the other hand, will yield the perfect meaty, juicy, chewy, yet tender seitan every single time. So even though I tried to get away with a one-pot recipe, it just didn't work for this recipe. The key is to first steam the seitan (which takes only 10 minutes) and then pan fry it for that crispy outside. Vegan chicken perfection!

Add about an inch of water to a pot with a steamer basket and bring to a light boil.

In the meantime, whisk together the vital wheat gluten, flour, vegetable broth powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt in a medium bowl.

Cover, and steam the seitan for 10 minutes.

In the meantime, in a small bowl or a measuring glass, mix together the Thai sweet chili sauce, hoisin, soy sauce, water, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Set aside. (See notes for other sauce options).

When the seitan is done steaming, heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet or non-stick pan. Use tongs to remove the seitan bites from the steamer basket, and place them into the hot oil in the pan. Be careful as it may splatter. Cook the seitan bites a few minutes per side until they are golden brown and crispy.

Hi, made this tonight, steamed for probably 12 mins, pan fried in oil till crispy, they didn't seem quite cooked through but added a Rogan Josh sauce and cooked for about 10-15 mins. Although the flavour is great they still don't seem cooked inside properly Not sure if I've under/ over cooked them or I just don't like the texture Any ideas please?

The Microsteam soleplate, with its 400 active micro-holes, provides a precise and even steam distribution to tackle the toughest unwanted creases. Unlike your traditional iron, your steam generator features a generous and removable 37-oz watertank for longer uninterrupted ironing, as well as a lighter iron for smooth and effortless gliding. Crafted with high quality standards, it also features a calc collector, ensuring long lasting performance and full care of your fabrics.

The most powerful ironing device* that integrates a high pressure boiler for professional results in no time. Easily tackle any job faster than ever before with twice the steam output of a steam iron, and a large removeable water tank for fast refills.

The new Microsteam 400 HD Laser stainless steel soleplate offers perfect steam distribution with 400 active steam holes. Laser finishing of the soleplate ensures the strongest resistance to scratches.

Choose a board that is height-adjustable to adjust it to your height. It should be steady and robust so that you can place the ironing appliance on it.

The board should be perforated to allow the steam to pass through the fibres of the fabric to soften it and make ironing easier. The ironing board cover should also be suitable to allow the flow of steam through.

Yes this is because the steam is generated in a separate area away from the soleplate of the iron. This allows you to obtain steam on the lowest heat setting, e.g. silks. However, when the iron temperature control is set to the lowest setting you must also set the steam output control dial (depending on the model) to the low position, otherwise water droplets may appear in the steam.

No. When starting or using the steam generator you may hear a pumping or vibrating noise along with a clicking sound. This is completely normal and is just the pump injecting water into the boiler or the steam valve opening.

If the boiler does not operate or the red light on the control panel comes on even though there is still water left in the tank, we suggest you check the water tank is not empty. You can also check the removable water tank (depending on model) is pressed down firmly in place and press the restart button located on the control panel. Also the steam output control dial may be set at minimum (depending on Model); therefore turn the dial up to increase the steam. ff782bc1db
