3-in-1 Smoothie, Milkshake and Cocktail Maker

When feeling adventurous, smoothie, milkshake and cocktail makers are the heart to the kitchen. As they supply multiple purposes, they can save a lot of space in the kitchen. Instead of having three different machines for three different purposes, you can simply have this 3-in-1 and save lots of space in your kitchen. This is ideal for individuals with small kitchens.

A 3-in-1 smoothie, milkshake and cocktail maker’s purpose is to persuade people to make something they originally wouldn’t decide to make, mainly because they don’t have the equipment. The best thing about one of these machines is that they are relatively small and are very easy to use; for example, to make a smoothie, just add the fruit you want into the cup, add a little bit of fruit juice, after this, simply place it on the machine and hold the ‘on’ button till your smoothie is done.

 

Non-stick Frying Pans

To prevent food sticking to the bottom of your frying pans, a non-stick pan may be just right for you! Non-stick frying pans are coated in a substance such as polytetrafluoroetheylene (PTFE), this substance can only be applied to pans that are made out of steal or aluminium and are used to minimize food sticking to the pan surface.

Advantages of non-stick pans is that they are much easier to clear rather than most normal pans and you only need a little or no additional fat or oil to prevent your food from sticking to the bottom. However, disadvantages of non-stick pans is that some cooking needs the food to stick to the pan a little to cause sucs to form, this means a non-stick pan cannot be used when a pan sauce is desired. Another disadvantage is that the PTFE coating tends to degrade over time, to preserve the coating, it is important to never overheat a non-stick pan.

 

Cookbook Stand

Trying stand a cookbook straight up can get annoying, especially when the book falls down, but a cookbook stand can solve this issue. Ignoring the name of a cookbook stand, they can also be used for commercial reading; allowing you to sit back in a comfortable chair and enjoy your book.

The cookbook stand allows to baker to stand their recipes up straight; then have a quick glance in the direction of the stand when in unable to know what to do, this is much easier than walking to the book and leaning over your worktop to ready what is needed next.

You can use the stand for a variety of things, including: reading normal books without needing to physically hold the book, to stand your recipes on it, using it to hold a tablet/phone or to keep a load of paperwork together in one place.

 

How to Look After Frying Pans

Mainly due to mismanagement of their current frying pans, people will usually have to replace every couple of years due to their non-stick effect wearing off. If they were to change their cooking habits in just a couple of ways, they could extend the lifespan of their frying pan by a number of years.

The two biggest causes for poor maintenance of cookware is using metal cooking utensils on non stick surfaces and dumping their cookware straight into water after they’ve finished cooking.

Metal shouldn’t be used when cooking in most instances, but it is definitely something that should be avoided for frying pans as they will cause minute scratches on the surface over time, quickly eroding the surface into something which will no longer stop things from sticking.

Dumping cookware into water straight off the stove while they are still really hot is also something which needs to be avoided, particularly metal cooking devices. This is because when metal is heated and then cooled really quickly it will start to warp and bend. Warped metal cookware is definitely less effective as a cooking tool.

 

Complete your chocolate needs with a fondue

To complete your chocolate needs, a chocolate fondue set can fill that gap. Fondues have been around since the 1930s and were originally a Swiss, Italian and French dish of melted cheese which is heated by a candle or spirit lamp, and eaten by dipping bread into the cheese. Since the 1950s the term ‘fondue’ was generalized to describe dishes in which food is dipped into a pot of some sort of substance (chocolate, cheese, etc…) which is kept hot by a candle.

A chocolate fondue will bring the family around the table as everyone picks up slices of fruit, pastry or marshmallows then dipped into a warm melted chocolate. Along with bringing fun to the table, fondues can also be used as a pleasant party food delight, just place fruit slices or tasty pastry bites on a wide plate and leave them for people to help them self’s to a tasty treat.
