For such a seemingly simplistic operation, care and maintenance can be anything but simple. Proper boiler treatment can prevent or correct a multitude of hazardous and costly situations.
Boiler water treatment to combat corrosion and scale is a key consideration for building owners and maintenance professionals. With proper operation and care, you can extend the life of the boiler and reduce repairs.

The perfect end of summer treat
– Mexican Street Corn (Elote)
Ingredients
-
½ cup sour cream
-
½ cup mayonnaise
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
-
1 lime, juiced and zested
-
½ teaspoon paprika
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
-
4 medium sweet corn on the cob, husks removed
-
¼ cup Parmesan or cotija cheese, crumbled
-
chili powder (optional, for a spicy kick)
Directions
-
Preheat the grill to 400˚F, about 5-6 minutes.
-
In a medium mixing bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, cilantro, lime juice, lime zest, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well until smooth and evenly mixed. Set aside for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse into each other.
-
Place the corn on the grill and grill for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally until nicely charred and cooked through. Set aside on a plate.
-
You can also roast the corn in the oven at 400˚F for 25 minutes or cook in boiling water for 10-15 minutes. However, grilling yields a sweeter and creamier taste.
-
Spread and brush the sauce evenly over the corn and top with Parmesan (or cojita cheese). Drizzle with extra lime juice, cilantro, and a sprinkle of chili powder, if desired.
