The large selection of specialized tools and gadgets can evoke a feeling of nervousness and confusion . Having a properly quipped kitchen with the tools you need to prepare nuttritious and delicious meals isn't as hard (or expensive) as you may think . Here are a few tips to get your kitchen stocked and ready for preparing wonderful meals.
1 . Make sure your cabinets , drawers and shelves are clean :
You should wipe them down on a regular basis with a sanitizing solution and let them air dry . The best tools and gadgets aren't any good if they spread bacteria and germs . Make sure you clean sinks and drains , too .
2 . Knives stored in a butcher block :
May look attractive on your counter , but you really only need three basic types of knives . A chef's knife (about 10 inches long ) , a serrated knife and a paring knife . When buying knifes , look for ones that feel comfortable and natural in your hands . Purchasing good quality knives a good investment .
3 . Cutting boards made from plastic :
They are inexpensive and durable . They are also easy to clean . Look for mixing bowls that nest inside each other to save space . These are usually very inexpensive and will last a long time .
4 . Quality cookware is important :
You don't have to purchase an expensive set . But only the pieces you need or think you will use . While non-stick cookware can be good for those who are just learning to cook , you must make sure to take proper care of it . Never use metal utensils on coated cookware if the coating is starting to chip away .
5 . As you are building your kitchen inventory :
Buy items slowly and on an as needed basis . Adding to your inventory slowly will give you time to learn to use the new tool and you will be less likely to become overwhelmed .
Words of Wisdom :
Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.
If a country is to be corruption free and become a nation of beautiful minds, I strongly feel there are three key societal members who can make a difference. They are the father, the mother and the teacher.
A wise man once said you must always be intolerant of ignorance but understanding of illiteracy. That some people, unable to go to school, were more educated and more intelligent than college professors .
Infuse your life with action. Don't wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own love. And whatever your beliefs, honor your creator, not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon high, but by doing what you can to make grace happen... yourself, right now, right down here on Earth.
Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.

Boy, those are lethal looking weapons. I am pretty sure they sure get a lot of use though. I know mine do. A good chef needs a good knife.
ReplyDeletePeople don't clean their can openers enough...they pick up a lot of bacteria and you should always wash the top of cans before you open them. A study revealed fecal coliforms on the tops of cans and jars in supermarkets.
I liked all your quotes this week. Thank you so much HB.
