Kitchen stuff (2)

I have it under the sink, in the kitchen. But the experience of using is only a couple of months.
Retractable wire drawers could have been installed, but it was painfully expensive. My balcony and loggia are not yet insulated.

onions don't like this temperature

Yes, he likes cooler and drier

I have had such under the sink for three years now, I need to lay newspapers otherwise all the vegetables will soak, my husband bought on his own initiative, I would not, there is plastic and there are not enough holes on the sides

[Gata]

Gata, Anya, I have such Tupperware containers I don't remember how many years, maybe 10. It is mainly used for onions, the lid is always open. Stands in the kitchen on the floor close to the radiator. Onions keep well. But we spend a lot of onion and it is constantly in circulation, it does not stale.

My onions and potatoes are perfectly stored in a wicker rattan box, I bought them in Metro.

[Gata]

Gata, I have such capacities for the third year. I am very satisfied. I keep a larger form of potatoes and a smaller onion. I put paper on the bottom. Previously, they just stood on the kitchen floor, under a small table on which the equipment stood. Now I have set up a locker and keep it in it. It's also convenient. Potatoes are about 5 kg. In big. Onions usually take 2-3 kg. But we eat a lot of potatoes and onions, so that nothing spoils or suffocates. Of course, if the potatoes are wet or the onions are raw, they will suffocate anywhere and begin to rot. And so it is stored very compactly, it is convenient to take, it is also convenient to fall asleep.

It turned out to be not convenient for me this hollow. No, the hand fits, but there is no review. We do not quickly eat even two kilos of potatoes because we want control. And over the onion too - how it lives there, which one to pull out first.
And of course paper is a must.

My onion is dry (we dry it for a long time in the country in the fresh air, then indoors), but in this container it deteriorates quickly. Best kept in a tight cardboard box. So it all depends on the storage conditions.

Oh, and I have these "hollows" for potatoes and onions. Nothing gets wet, they stand one on top of the other in a drawer under the sink. I don’t put paper. If the potatoes lie for a long time (for some reason, there are periods when no one eats them) - they dry out slightly and frown. By size - I would have got a bigger one, if there was somewhere to put it so that the potato could lie freely, it would not be flattened with a lid
I'm thinking of getting another one, for root vegetables, which I don't store a lot (carrots, beets, garlic, ginger - maybe), but it will definitely be inconvenient to climb into it, there is little space in the box.

I also have 2 such large boxes. On the contrary, I want to buy a smaller one for convenience. And these ... are good, but the vegetables sometimes start to wither before they get started. Maybe from the fact that I first wash the vegetables from the clods of earth with a brush (if any). It is necessary to pour what is there, and not bother

[Kubeba1]

I have been using such containers for potatoes and onions for 5 years, I am very happy, like Natalia Kubeba1... Nothing spoils, I periodically look

No, the hand fits, but there is no review. We do not quickly eat even two kilos of potatoes because we want control. And over the onion too - how it lives there, which one to pull out first.

So the lid can be easily removed: if the onion is clean and easy to remove (what is needed there - one or two onions), then it is easier to collect the potatoes by opening the lid.

[grinaty]

grinaty, the lid can be removed, only the drawer itself is worth it so it's difficult to pull it out once again - the top crossbar of the cabinet interferes.
So my vegetables live in boxes or in the refrigerator if the moment comes that they are not needed for a long time.Here is the same potato: sometimes lying around for months, sometimes not ...

I want to buy such a pot for storing potatoes, but I don't know how it will be stored there, maybe someone has experience storing potatoes in clay pots. I have only experience storing onions and garlic in such a pot.

[Tanyusha]

Tanyusha, these pots are intended specifically for onions and garlic.

[Ilmirushka]

Ilmirushka, there are also big ones for potatoes, I'm just tired of it hanging out in a bag, so I want to go to the country and go home. For onions I have and have been using them for a very long time, I like how the onions are stored in it. And there is separately for garlic, one of our former members of the forum presented it to me, she made it herself.

[Tanyusha]

Tanyusha, I have no storage experience, I have it in a craft package. But on the internet I read one thing that really brightens my life: so that the potatoes do not sprout and wither less (if you suddenly keep them warm), put a couple of apples in a container with them. I tried it, and it’s true, it doesn’t sprout so actively, or even quite pretty lies until it is eaten.

After reading the reviews, it seems to me that in a private wooden house, where the humidity in these containers is higher, vegetables, if they lie for a long time, soak. In urban conditions, with central heating and great dryness, it may well lie for a long time. Well I thought so

I decided to take a plastic chest of drawers into the pantry for vegetables, so that there are not very many drawers, 3-4, but so that there are more. Fortunately, they are now for any taste of color. No separate containers are needed, it will stand in one piece, it will be convenient for me. Why not an option?





Here is a dresser-chest of drawers, and to make holes on the sides of the drawers - 6 seconds!

[Ikra]

Ikra, Ira, thanks for the hint, I'll try to put an apple. Probably all the same I'll buy one pot and try it out.



Ilmirushka, a very good option if you have somewhere to put it.

[Tanyusha]

a very good option if you have somewhere to put it.

Tanyusha, I have a pantry !!! And we always keep potatoes there ... in a bag, it's ugly and inconvenient. ALL! We are starting repairs!
A 4-drawer chest of drawers is enough, potatoes + carrots + beets, and you can put a divider for onions and garlic in the top drawer. If they can live together
Girls, can they be together?

[Ilmirushka]

Ilmirushka, unfortunately I do not have a pantry, so the potatoes in the bag lie under the bar counter and it really annoys me. so I want to attach it more beautifully.

Ilmira, the dressers are beautiful, but they are not designed to store something heavy in them. It is better to buy boxes that are stacked on top of each other, there are at least stiffening ribs.

put onion and garlic divider. If they can live together
Girls, can they be together?

I always have onions and garlic and potatoes in one box, I never noticed that they affect each other badly

[Tanyusha]

Tanyusha, beautiful pot. Especially if it fits into the interior, otherwise I have 3/4 of the kitchen in multicooker and flying plates pizza makers.

[Tanyusha]

Tanyusha, Tan, and under the bar you can choose a small chest of drawers, they are different, there are two drawers. There are higher, but narrow, you can find any.

but they are not designed to store something heavy in them.

Marina, it would be WHAT - let's fix it tightly!

always in one box and onions and garlic and potatoes, never noticed that they affect each other badly

Sveta, thanks for the experience.

[Ilmirushka]

Ilmirushka, and what do you not remember with their heavy lifting capacity? A drawer of towels is one thing, a box of potatoes is another.

[Ilmirushka]

Ilmirushka, these squishy dressers, they are for the bathroom, and the potatoes are heavy

[Anna]

what do you not remember with their heavy lifting?

Anna, I don't just don't remember, I just don't know. We need to study this issue. I remember that they took my friend to the bathroom, and I remember that they are different in terms of the subtlety of plastic, well, in terms of strength and stability. But we have reinforcement profiles - let's strengthen it!



Galas they say, I see the goal - I see no obstacles! ...
And you can bring potatoes not in a bag, but much less.
You can, of course, put the usual wooden ala in the pantry, but it's heavy, you get bogged down to pull out the boxes when cleaning.

Ilmirushka, these squishy chests of drawers, they are for the bathroom, and the potatoes are heavy

Ilmirushka, believe us! Think, think again. I also suspect that the boxes will bend and the frame guides or the sides (upper) of the box themselves may bend

But we have reinforcement profiles - let's strengthen it!

Well, then it may also work!

Well, do not put a bag in there. In the theme of kitchen furniture, huge boxes of 1.2 meters were shown and they stand the same.

[Svetul]

I suspect that the boxes will bend and the frame guides or the sides (top) of the box themselves may bend

Svetul, I know that all these priblud plastic is very, very different, and of course you need to read about the recommendations for the weight of the fit. Even if you remember the boxes from the freezers, they are also plastic, but how do you start pulling this box out when it is jam-packed ...

[Ilmira]

In the theme of kitchen furniture, huge boxes of 1.2 meters were shown and they stand the same.

Yes, but there are Blum fittings designed for 40 kg (in any case, as the designer said, the warranty is 5 years) and this is flimsy plastic. Ilmira, I would also not recommend these plastic dressers. It is better to put the rack and on its shelves boxes made of rattan, or from another material if you don't like plastic. In any case, it's up to you, then share with us

[Chef]

I show a photo of the trophies of my today's foray into the hardware store.



I bought two small aluminum baking trays, I will bake biscuit cakes in two at the same time on the same shelf in the oven and I also plan to bake chicken, fish, cutlets in different sauces and on different vegetable pillows. It is a pity for time and electricity to drive the oven twice, and so I put it in different sauces and cooked it on a stone at a time. Here are just to the bottom of the mat to the size of the bottom, I will cut out Teflon rugs for omnivorous baking.

I have wanted to buy such a culinary and confectionery pen for a long time, and finally the opportunity presented itself.



Here is a close-up.



This is such an unknown little thing I saw for the first time. I could not resist, cheap - for only 50 rubles. Designed for picking and picking out something narrow and long. There is even an accompanying picture. It resembles a carpenter's tool - a semicircular chisel. And it really turned out to be very sharp.



So far, I just tried to pick out a flower rudiment and a tail with a peduncle on an apple. Although I have a special very handy mini-spoon for such work.
Here are the results of picking.



And now I'm waiting for responses, who has this? How convenient is the pen? What fruit, chocolate or vegetable sauces do you use for your feather? Can you write the inscription?

Chef, do not demolish the post right away, give me three days to be in the kitchen trivia, maybe people will pull themselves up, read and share their experience of using the pen and recipes for sauces. Thank you.

Designed for picking and picking out something narrow and long.

Probably, make grooves along a cucumber or carrot, and then cut them into slices to make asterisks-flowers. Carving.

Designed for picking and picking out something narrow and long. There is even an accompanying picture.

Alya, everything is clear in the picture. This piece is convenient for removing corn kernels along the length of the row. Remove seeds lengthwise from hot peppers. And on the eggplant, remove the grooves along the surface, such as making a groove (there is a Turkish recipe where striped buckles are needed). What else is green on the little guy I can't make out blindly ...

[Kubeba1]

Kubeba1, Natalia, svetta, thanks, girls, zv answers. And the green one on the label is Chinese cabbage, I think that as a carving, chrysanthemum flowers are made from such cabbage.

[Creamy]

Designed for picking and picking out something narrow and long. There is even an accompanying picture.It resembles a carpenter's tool - a semicircular chisel. And it really turned out to be very sharp.

CreamyAlevtina, I was interested in your tool - I climbed purposefully to look at the tool for carving fruits and vegetables. Here's a look - a pretty complete set. The photo is big - for a better look.

🔗

I realized that I was a little confused in your "chisel" for food - the length of this groove. What's so long? I'm afraid that it will jump off and hurt. In carving sets, the groove is at least twice as short

So there in the picture there is still a red hot pepper, for him just right and clean hands. And whose pen decorator is Maxidom? I have a similar thing, but not such a narrow part, but wider. It is very convenient to sprinkle the buns with sesame seeds or poppy seeds, everything remains on the buns, and not on the baking sheet.

[Tanyusha]

Tanyusha, my garlic dries up in them, I already poured salt down ...

Yes, but there are Blum fittings designed for 40 kg (in any case, as the designer said, the warranty is 5 years) and this is flimsy plastic.

Yes, I didn't understand and didn't watch it. I thought that Ilmira wanted to build a type of furniture chest of drawers for vegetables.

[Svetlenki]

Svetlenki, I have a very similar suitcase, I bought it for a long time at the catering base. So the quality of the tools in this case is extremely low. The metal is thin with burrs, bends. Wooden handles of poor carpentry, curves, centered, you will get splinters. The knives are absolutely dull, you can't even cut off carrots. The case itself is very flimsy. But I bought for a long time, many years ago, maybe now they have begun to do better. But today's chisel is strong and sharp. Doesn't anyone use a pen? And then I dreamed of making inscriptions.

[Alevtina]

Alevtina, your chisel is not for carving exactly in the professional sense of the word.
And this is the first time I've seen such a pen, an interesting thing.

So there in the picture there is still a red hot pepper, for him, his hands are clean. And whose pen decorator is Maxidom? I have a similar thing, but not such a narrow part, but wider. It is very convenient to sprinkle buns with sesame seeds or poppy seeds, everything remains on the buns, and not on the baking sheet.

Well, thank you! That's why I love our forum, that our people come up with such things, which, for example, would never even occur to me! That's it, now I will decorate the rolls with sesame seeds. poppy seeds and nigella!

pen production not by Maxidom, Rong Hya, China. Cheap, price 110 rubles.

But today's chisel is strong and sharp.

Then she should be a faithful assistant, write about her, if you like it and will use it often! At your suggestion, I bought myself a hemisphere for removing tomato stalks - I'm not overjoyed! Thank you very much

Here's my sprinkle spoon

[Svetlenki]

Svetlenki, Sveta, and what is your hemisphere for removing tomato stalks? smooth or sharp? With sharp teeth, a hemisphere tears out the stalks even from such varieties of tomatoes, where the pulp literally branches out with chips like a tree.

Here is my sprinkler spoon

Oh, how pretty!

[Alevtina]

to remove the stalks of a tomato? smooth or sharp?

Alevtina, with sharp. I have been looking for a specially small diameter for a long time - it has only 1 cm.It also tears out perfectly, even the roots come out, which are a little deeper

I was afraid that it would become "abandoned" in the far corner of the toolbox, but no, very, very convenient, I use it all the time. And for the eyes of the potatoes, too

Here is my sprinkler spoon

Thank you for reminding! I bought this three months ago and happily forgot about it. It seems that it was written for the sauce, now I will sprinkle her pastries

I no longer remember what was written on the label. It's just that before, sprinkling rolls from a teaspoon, I sprinkled a lot not only on the rolls. And for sprinkling, this spoon is great.

It seems that it was written for the sauce

For the sauce, I also grabbed this. In the store, a thought arose, why would I need this, but now a spoon is lying down.

I looked at such baking sheets in "Verny", but they look quite thin, and I have a fix idea - to find a shape for a rectangular yeast cake, just not very large, so that two or three of us can eat it during the day at work.

I grabbed one too

Where is Natalia?
