battery operated, its blades heat seal the sachets as they cut and divide.
save money, no more mess - how ever did we live without it?

You mean to divide a single sachet into two sub-
sachets? |
|
| |
I have my doubts. First, you need to seal the sachet
in the middle, but there'll be mayonnaise or ketchup
or wood-glue on the surfaces to be sealed. Second,
if the original sachet is quite plumply filled, it may
not be possible to crimp it shut across the midline. |
|
| |
Do you mean connect two sachets by a tube, which is soldered into the gap between the sachets? |
|
| |
Query: is 'sachet' Britishish for what Americans would call a
'packet' or
'pouch', i.e. a soft plastic liquid-or-gel-bearing vessel? The
interweb search turned up too many ambiguous terms for
me to discern. |
|
| |
no silly [MB], sometimes two sachets become mysteriously conjoined. |
|
| |
yes, quite probably [alterother] |
|
| |
So, to clarify, this is a tool that would allow the division of
a sealed sachet into separate parts without actually
'breaking' the seal? |
|
| |
I like it, but His Lordship has very valid points, especially
the latter: reshaping a filled-to-capacity sachet in order to
form separate chambers reduces the internal volume of the
vessel.
The contents must either conform to the extra pressure
without compromising the seal, or some contents will have
to be removed. |
|
| |
//sometimes two sachets become mysteriously

|
| |
I think this is an issue to take up with your sachet
provider. |
|
| |
[Alter] Not quite. "Sachet" is English for the French
"sachet", meaning "sachet". |
|
| |
<sigh> two sachets - occasionally manufactured with a fault - they are stuck together (conjoined). |
|
| |
however gently you attempt to peel them apart they burst and shower the room with whatever they contain. what I am endeavouring to achieve is a tool that will simultaneously sever the two sachets and seal the break, allowing each of the sachets to fulfill its natural function. |
|
| |
Ah, I see. That makes more sense. |
|
| |
The blade itself need not be heated; what you need are a
pair of heated sealing dies, one on either side of the blade
and a mm or two ahead of the cutting point. I envision it as
something like a safe-cut letter opener. |
|
| |
// "Sachet" is English for the French "sachet", meaning

|
| |
Most helpful, as ever, m'Lud. |
|
| |
Then you'd have two sachets with cachet? Unless
they were to be sachets sealed with a heated
cachet, thereby improving their cachet. |
|
| |
I was thinking opening them in a pressure chamber, but that might make the contents jump out even more. So, what would be best is a hypodermic with a large bore needle, with a flexible collar around the needle attached to a vacuum pump |
|
| |
The collar would hold the sachet firmly as the needle goes in, then pull up the plunger to extract the contents. |
|
| |
Don't forget to use a clean needle and fresh syringe to avoid passing on (for example) mustard. |
|
| |
I just sashayed into this cachet
. |
|
| |
I knew that David and John were brothers, but not that they were twins, or even conjoined. It must make news reports and episodes of Poirot difficult to shoot.
(Many words of French origin, like "serviette" or "toilet" are eschewed by the British upper class, (presumably because of the beastly things the Revolutionary French did to their Continental forebears), but I don't imagine they even have an English word for "sachet" because they simply don't frequent the sort of establishments that vend them. Or so my butler's valet tells me.) |
|
| |
I snip off the end of one sachet, and disgorge the contents
directly into the washing machine. |
|
| |
The second sachet is then best decanted separately into a
jar or other receptacle for later usage. |
|
| |
I think the "design flaw" will likely remain in place for some
time as it tends to encourage us to buy more sachets! |
|
| |
But all this snipping and puncturing and pressure-chamber
extraction does nothing to solve [po]'s problem! Do try to
pay attention, people. |
|
| |
We must, and I stress _must_, find a way to separate two
or more inadvertantly conjoined sachets (packets) without
compromising the integrity of the seal or allowing the
escape of the contents. This is a serious issue affecting the
lives of many honest citizens, and we owe it to [po] to find
a solution. |
|
| |
I'm thinking a very precise surgical incision, that then
can be sutured up properly, just like a human's belly. |
|
| |
yes, nurse. I think needles may exacerbate the mess... |
|
| |
I think the difference is that a sachet holds a fluid (liquid or powder) while a packet holds countable solid items. Presumably there's a grey area between powder and granules for which you should use a pachet. |
|
| |
Well, yes, you did, quite nicely, but (IMO) it hasn't been
properly halfbaked until we've all argued about it and a
few alternate versions have been proposed, including one
that somehow involves a trebuchet. Since we've already
gotten the obligatory off-topic anno thread out of the way,
I was just trying to bring us back to the kitchen so we can
fulfill the remaining compulsory items. |
