When your recipe calls for Barbados rum, reach for one of these: 1  Planation Grande Reserve 5 year. 2  Mount Gay Eclipse. 3  Doorly's XO.  R.L. Seale 10 year.
How To: 1  1. Purchase a hygrometer. One of the easiest ways to test your homeâs humidity level is to head to the drugstore and purchase a hygrometer or indoor humidity monitor. 2  2. Check for signs. If you donât want to spring for a store-bought device, there are several telltale signs of humidity.
Other hygrometers use two thermometers to measure humidity. One thermometer has a wet bulb and one has a dry bulb. Water evaporating from the wet bulb causes its mercury to drop. The amount of humidity in the air can be determined by comparing the temperature readings of the two thermometers. When selecting the best hygrometer for your home, though, it doesnât really matter which type of humidity sensor you purchase. Both types can do the job.
