A stainless steel food mill is a kitchen appliance used to grind or make food such as soups, sauces, or mashed potatoes. It can be used for canning or jam making to produce a smooth puree without seeds, skins, or stems. It can be used for hot or cold food. It may also be called a rotary tomato mill. Parts of a Food Grinder A stainless steel vegetable mill is usually a manual device with a hand crank on top. It is shaped like a wide-mouthed inverted cone with legs or protrusions that allow it to rest on a bowl and remain stable while you pour in the food you want to season and turn the crank. The bottom has perforations that allow the food being ground to be filtered into a receiving bowl. Attached to the crank is a grinding plate. When you turn the crank, the food is crushed onto the perforated disc at the bottom of the food grinder and then filtered through the sieve holes into the bowl you place below it. Food grinders often come with interchangeable perforated sieve discs to allow for a finer or coarser puree.   If you reverse the crank direction after extracting as much food as possible, seeds, skins, and other debris are carried to the top of the grinding plate. You can then easily invert the food grinder over a trash or compost bin and discard the scraps.   Uses of a food grinder You can use a food grinder to make applesauce or ketchup, with the advantage of being able to add

Don’t let the name mislead you, a fish spatula does a lot more than first impressions suggest. In fact, it’s the tool that’s used most often in the kitchen. Sure, it’s the design that makes it an expert at flipping delicate fish fillets, but its elegance and flexibility mean it gets along well with others, too. A spatula is an extension of your hand when handling hot foods, so the kitchen needs a spatula that’s as sturdy and flexible as a claw.   What is a fish spatula?   A fish spatula features a thin metal blade and a slanted end, making it adept at sliding under delicate items. The metal blade also has slatted cuts, making it lighter and more flexible than a regular spatula.   Why should we love a fish spatula?   A fish spatula shines when cooking in a baking pan. This surface area and flexibility makes it possible to flip a large piece of potato or Brussels sprouts halfway through baking without having to remove the pan from the oven. Cookies (especially delicate cookies, shortbread, or oatmeal fritters) never break when using this spatula.   When making pancakes or French toast, the fish spatula’s slight flex makes it easy to maneuver under half-set cakes or wobbly, custard-soaked brioche rolls. The larger-than-average surface area means stable flipping.

Have your copper pots, measuring cups and beer mugs lost their luster? If your copper kitchen gadgets are looking dull, it might be time to polish it to restore its original beauty. Here's everything you need to know about how to clean and polish copper to keep it looking great for years to come. How to Clean Copper Cookware？ The best way to clean copper pots and pans is with warm water and dish soap. Use a soft, gentle cloth, brush or sponge to wipe away any residue. To remove stuck-on food, soak the pan in hot, soapy water for 15 minutes and scrub again.   It's important to avoid using harsh, abrasive cleaning tools or harsh cleaners like Bon Ami on your copper pots and pans. After washing, always hand dry your copper pots and pans immediately. Allowing them to air dry will leave water spots and cause the metal to tarnish faster.   Can you put copper cookware in the dishwasher? Copper cooking gadgets should be hand washed and never in the dishwasher.   The exception is copper-colored cutlery and other kitchen utensils. They are made of stainless steel that has been coated with a copper-colored coating, but do not actually contain copper. It's best to double-check the manufacturer's instructions, but generally, these items are dishwasher safe.   How to tell if copper is lacquered? Some copper cookware is prized for how its material interacts with what's inside. For example, a copper mixing bowl helps keep egg whites steady while you're beating them, and a copper pot's smooth surface and ability to conduct heat are great for making jam. &nb

With its plain stainless steel body, plastic handle and lid, this insulated gravy bowl isn't going to win any fashion awards. But its thermos-style vacuum insulation will keep gravy - or any other sauce or liquid - hotter, longer than a traditional gravy boat. The temperature dropped by just 23 degrees in an hour, which is easily the best insulation.     The securely fitted lid is important for retaining heat, but it also makes it more portable. Not only is it nearly impossible to spill any gravy on the way from the kitchen to the dining room, but you can even use this stainless steel gravy boat on a cross-town car trip to carry steaming hot sauce to a dinner party. It's great for Thanksgiving dinner, of course, but you can also use it to make hot pancake syrup or a perfect drizzle of crème anglaise on dessert. It can even make tea or keep coffee warm, as it's available in two capacities: 480ml and 725ml.     The insulated gravy jug is dishwasher safe, but it was rather awkward to put it in the dishwasher because the open lid takes up a lot of space. On the other hand, we had no trouble getting it completely clean in the sink with just a scrub brush and dishwashing liquid.

You will find a wide variety of milk frothing pitchers that vary in size, design, and spout shape. You can easily find the right milk jug for you by considering various criteria to choose the one that best suits your needs.   However, it is important to note that there are two main types of milk jugs: Motta-style frothing pitcher and classic frothing pitcher.   Motta Milk Frothing Pitcher The Motta stainless steel milk jug is suitable for beginners as its round design is perfect for learning how to steam and froth milk. However, because its spout is short and the handle is an open design, its accuracy is relatively poor.   Classic Milk Jug If you seek greater precision and flexibility, choose the Classic Milk Jug. Its flared design allows for optimal milk frothing, while its narrow opening allows for greater precision in pouring milk. Finally, the enclosed handle offers more control and freedom, allowing you to have better maneuverability when creating latte art patterns.  

Egg beating by egg whipper involves whisking eggs quickly to change their consistency and thus work their structure into the baked good or dish you are preparing. Depending on what the recipe calls for, whole eggs, just the egg whites, or just the egg yolks may be whisked. Many recipes include beating eggs, especially egg whites, as a crucial step.   However, what is often left out of recipes for kitchenware is how to accurately whisk these eggs. Whether beating egg whites for meringue or beating whole eggs for a cake, preparing your eggs first and using the right tools will help you achieve perfect results every time.     1. Lay out the eggs. Set the eggs out on the counter 30 minutes before using them. Eggs will beat more when they are at room temperature (68 - 70 degrees Fahrenheit or 20 - 25 degrees Celsius).   2. Separate the egg whites from the yolks if necessary. Beat the eggs as close to the center as possible. Let the yolk settle in the lower half of the shell and let the egg whites flow into the bowl. Then use the egg whip to whisk back and forth until all the egg whites are in the bowl.   3. Calculate how much egg white you need to whisk. Depending on your recipe, your egg whites need to reach soft, stiff, or hard peaks.   4. Choose a clean, dry glass, copper, or stainless steel bowl. Never use a plastic bowl to whisk egg whites. Tiny nicks and scratches in a plastic bowl pr

The size of the milk jug is an important factor.   Milk jugs vary in size. However, milk frothing pitcher used for frothing milk are typically 300 ml to 750 ml.   Beyond this range, a jug that is too small will make it difficult to froth the milk properly. Likewise, a jug that is too large will result in milk waste and prevent you from getting a good froth.   Keep in mind that when you froth milk, it doubles in volume. Therefore, do not choose a frothing cup that is the same size as the amount of milk you initially plan to use. Generally speaking, it is recommended to choose a milk jug that is approximately 2 to 3 times the size of the cup.   Find the right milk jug size   To quickly determine if your frothing pitcher is suitable for the amount of milk froth you need, observe where the milk reaches inside. Ideally, the milk should be just below the nozzle mark, about one-third of the height of the milk jug.   If the milk exceeds this level, it will overflow during the frothing process, and if it is not filled enough, the steam wand will not be properly immersed. In addition, choosing the right size milk frother is key to achieving perfect micro-foam, which is essential for making latte art patterns.   For those who are only preparing one drink and want to avoid milk waste, we recommend choosing a smaller stainless steel milk jug, about 350ml. If you plan to make two drinks or practice more complex latte art designs, consider changing the size of your milk jug. A medium-sized jug (600ml) for frothing and a smaller jug ​​(350ml) for mixing can provide the flexibility you need.  

One problem with ice cream scoop with trigger is that they are too big for other culinary uses, such as scooping biscuit dough or melon balls for cocktails. If you want a versatile tool, it's best to use a smaller, disher-style scoop. The largest stainless steel ice cream scoop holds three tablespoons and is most likely to be used for ice cream. During testing, the 18/8 stainless steel ice cream spade felt durable and comfortable to hold in both hands. The squeeze handle is easy to control and the sweep mechanism is sturdy, producing tight balls even with hard ice cream. Smooth ice cream was easy to release, but required a few more squeezes to release the mix.     Testing found that squeezing and releasing the stainless steel ice cream scoop does require some hand strength, which can provide a lot of control when serving, but may not be suitable for children or older people. These versatile, dishwasher safe spoons come with a lifetime warranty, so you'll have plenty of opportunity to use them for a variety of purposes.

Why is it called a gravy boat?   Its shape. The classic gravy boat with lid is an oblong boat with a rounded "hull" at the bottom, like you'd see on a canoe, yacht, or container ship. A "gravy boat" might also be called a "sauce boat," or referred to as a "sauci" (French name) or "salsera" (Spanish name). How do you serve gravy in a gravy boat?   Before filling a insulated gravy bowl, preheat it by washing it in hot water or placing it in the oven's warming drawer. This ensures that your hot gravy doesn't lose heat by raising the temperature of the container itself.   When serving gravy, you want to minimize spills and splatters. Hold the spout as close to the food as possible while slowly tilting it so that the gravy flows out evenly. If a stainless steel gravy boat doesn't have a spout or is too full, use a small spoon or ladle to scoop out the sauce. It's also a good idea to place a plate or other dish under the boat to prevent any drips or spills from splashing onto the tablecloth. This also helps when passing a gravy plate at a large party: it's polite to turn the handle toward the next guest before handing the dish to them.

· Capacity The size of stainless steel gravy boat you should look for depends on the number of people you are serving. A rough rule of thumb is that you need 2 to 3 ounces of sauce or dressing per serving. If you're serving a very large group, you may be better off with two medium-sized sauce boats rather than one large one, as they're easier to pass around the table. Capacity also has an effect on heat retention, as larger portions of sauce will hold on to more of the heat, regardless of the material in which they're held.   · Heat retention Gravy and savoury sauces taste best when hot, and the shape, material and design of a gravy boat all affect how well it can keep its contents hot. An uninsulated metal boat loses heat faster than a ceramic one and cannot be used in the microwave, but there are insulated metal options that do a much better job of retaining heat. Larger gravy boats and those made of stoneware or ceramic generally retain heat longer.   · Spout The shape of the spout on a insulated gravy jug has a lot to do with whether or not it is going to make a mess. A narrower spout with a rounded lip is less likely to drip, but can make it more difficult to dispense a particularly thick gravy. Some models have a matching ladle you can use with soggy ingredients, or just a saucer to catch drips. · Handle The whole point of a insulated gravy bowl is to be moved around and passed from diner to diner, so a handle that's easy to hold is important. A handle that extends far from the body gives better control.

In addition to following the care instructions in your owner's manual, there are a few more tips to keep in mind when caring for stainless steel kitchen accessories. To maintain the shine and appearance of stainless steel, it is recommended to regularly clean the surface with a mild detergent or a mixture of warm water and vinegar. This gentle cleaning solution helps to remove fingerprints, smudges, and grease without causing any damage. For stubborn stains or marks on stainless steel, you can create a paste using baking soda and water. Apply the paste to the affected area and gently rub it in with a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean cloth to prevent water spots. To prevent scratches, it is advisable to use non-abrasive cleaning tools such as microfiber cloths or soft sponges. These materials are gentle on the stainless steel surface and won't leave any marks behind. If you notice any rust spots on your stainless steel kitchenware, it is important to address them promptly. You can remove minor

When using stainless steel kitchen gadgets, are you always worried that improper storage will cause them to rust easily? Are you worried that you won't be able to use it after it rusts?

How to remove the stains from stainless steel kitchenware gadgets? First: Mix equal parts liquid dish soap and baking soda to remove simple stains from stainless steel kitchenware. Apply the cleaner mixture to a nylon scrubber or an old toothbrush and gently scrub the stain along the grain of your stainless steel kitchen tools. Second: For more serious stains, use vinegar to clean. If the baking soda doesn't work, dip a soft brush in undiluted vinegar, scrub gently along the grain of the stainless steel, and wipe away the vinegar with a dry cloth. Or spray vinegar on the stain and wipe it away with a brush or paper towel. Third: Use flour and cleaning powder to remove sink stains. Moisten the corner of the empty flour bag. Sprinkle cleaning powder over it and rub it into the stain in a circular motion. Wet the other corner of the bag and rub the stain in the opposite direction. Finally, wipe the entire cleaned area with wax paper. Forth: Polish your stainless steel sink or appliances after cleaning. Use stainless steel polish, lemon oil, or silicone-based spray to maintain the finish. While the exact directions will vary de

The simplest corkscrew is a "T" shape, just a spiral metal "worm" with a handle on top. However, a travel wine corkscrew comes in two parts: a worm with a plastic handle covered by a sheath that narrows at one end. The sheath will pull or twist open, exposing the worm.   1. If necessary, open the corkscrew. Some simple wine corkscrews have handles that fold down to hold against the worm. If your tools look like this, simply lift them upward until the tool forms a "T" shape. 2. If you are using a travel wine key, slide the sheath into the handle. The plastic handle on the top of the worm should have a hole about the diameter of the handle. Slide the narrow end of the sheath into the hole, stopping when it no longer slides easily. The corkscrew should now be in a "T" shape. 3. Screw the worm into the cork. Place the tip of the worm just outside the center of the

Don't let a simple cork opener come between you and a bottle of wine! There are many types of bottle openers, but most are relatively easy to use. The basic technique is to screw a metal spiral into the bottle's cork and then pull it outward. Wine keys and winged corkscrews take the most effort, but in a pinch a simple bottle opener or a travel bottle opener can also be used. Just remember to be gentle and you'll be pouring out in no time!   Using a Winged Corkscrew: 1. Lower the lever of the bottle opener. This type of wine corkscrew has two long levers (" wings ") located on either side of the center ring. Inside the ring is a long metal spiral (the "worm") controlled by a twistable pull ring at the top. First lower the wings toward the center ring. The worms should rise at the same time. 2. Place the center ring over the cork. The center ring is slightly wider than the opening of a standard wine bottle, so it should be easy to install. The wings should remain down. If the opening of your wine bottle is covered with foil, remove it first.

The stainless steel measuring cups and spoons have numerous advantages that make them a popular choice for kitchens and other cooking spaces. 1. Durability: Stainless steel is a robust material that resists corrosion, rust, and staining, ensuring that your measuring cups and spoons will last for years. Unlike plastic or wooden measuring tools, which can wear out or warp over time, stainless steel maintains its accuracy and shape even after repeated use. 2. Accuracy: The precision of measurements is crucial in cooking, as it can significantly affect the outcome of a recipe. Stainless steel measuring cups and spoons are typically made with exact measurements marked on them, ensuring accurate portioning of ingredients. This is particularly important for recipes that require precise measurements for optimal results.
