Kitchen little things (2)

[Bijou]

Bijou, Lena, and what is the cell size of your grid? I remember how in my childhood my father used to weave nets with a needle on long winter evenings.

[Creamy]

Creamy, seems to be seen in this picture?




I didn't weave with a needle, but I did it with a shuttle.)) But from simple bobbin HB threads, as a basis for tatting.

Immediately there is some kind of ineradicable thread at the base, it decays very slowly - if you do not pay attention to the degradation of color, then for 5 years one portion of a washcloth can be enough provided that it is knocked into acid and alkali and rubbed with it with abrasives like Pemoxoli .))

[Bijou]

Bijou, Lena, thanks for the informative photo.

[Creamy]

Creamy, Duc there, on page 686, several. And on the next - one more, straight from the bazaar.)))

Wiki, oh, very thin.))

So I decided that I had to look thicker.

The so-called "Japanese sponge" is sold in the fix.
As a washcloth, it did not work with us, although many praise it, but as a "rag" for washing dishes - quite ...
Moreover, the size allows you to make several "rags" from one washcloth. And all for 50 rubles.

🔗

Good luck!

Olya, I've been using Japanese washcloths all my life, right from the time when we didn't have them. The first one is over 30 years old, and she is still alive !!!
For 50 rubles "Japanese" made in China, they are unsuitable for the body, soft, quickly fail.
You need to buy real, Japanese ones, there are different hardness, colors and the structure of the weaving is different.
I supplied the whole family, the rest threw everything away and now they don't want to use anything else. I personally have three sets of them - for the countryside, travel, so as not to forget for the home.
I bought the latter for gifts on NG in Your House, where they were like 450 or 550 rubles. Everyone squeals with delight from such people, including me!
And with your suggestion, I will also send these Chinese ones to the kitchen, thanks for the advice!

[Wiki]

Wiki, don't tell me ... I walk for half an hour, picking in clusters of these ... It seems that for so many years I have already learned everything about them, the flight should be oriented. And nifiga! The latter (the same light green with the photo) do not really like it. You see, I returned the old one - it is a little smaller, the thread is thicker, the knots are coarser and the mesh is slightly larger, it does not tend to fold so much along ..
In short, it is better to let it be a little less often, but a little rougher and thicker. At least now it seems to me so.))

Crochet from a fishing line ...

[Anna67]

Anna67, no, you need to crochet from another thread. You know, this one ... for the garters in the garden. Grandmothers used to make such bags for themselves. Here is a very good sponge from such a plastic thread, only it should be woven more or less openwork, and not with half-columns without crochets.))
Excellent wipes. But. It is less washed from fat and tends to wear rather quickly - from friction and detergents, the plastic begins to crumble and wrinkle. The century is short, but tying a new one is not a problem.
The problem is different - it is not very convenient to use the new one until it is limp, and then it is not very convenient to use it, because it is too soft and crumbles.

and pouring in

That's why I thought about not a thin line. Viscous stretched loop a la string bag. Probably it will be great to wash the table from the dough.

[Anna67]

Anna67, no! Almost everything for which I scolded donuts from the fishing line a little earlier - it will be true here too. You simply cannot carry the detergent to the table on this fishing line, and the worn out back to the sink - too. Nothing will hold on to the fishing line, everything will drip.)) And it is unpleasant for the fingers, and some benefit ... unconvincing.))

Why wash and wet? I also need to scrub in the trash, not wet it with water. You can use a stiff brush, but you can't get anything out of it later. And an iron washcloth is scary for the furniture surface.

Aren't you napkins? ))
It's a shame to admit, but once upon a time, when there was no microfiber yet (God, has it ever happened?), And I couldn't stand rags from old things or towels (because they have it very smelly, spirit, no matter how you wash it), the house just lived in rolls of toilet paper. Tore off, wiped-blotted-erased-collected, thrown into compost. A knife in oil? Wipe clean with paper. Have you spilled your tea? Crumbled cookies on the table? Did you knock the soup over yourself? Did the kitten write on the carpet? There is only one answer - a piece is unwound from the roll and there is no problem.

Yes, today there are paper towels for this purpose. But I always want to cut a roll into several and bring this thing to the usual format.

If immediately then of course a towel or napkin. But I usually notice when it is already stuck or dried up - sticky yeast on the table, not yeast or anything else from a blender, oil splashes on tiles and glass. This is how the sun looks out, or in the light closer to the surfaces, I find myself so and I find that I need to scrub it off. And from a distance it seems that it is clean ...

Yes, today there are paper towels for this purpose. But I always want to cut a roll into several and bring this thing to the usual format.

I buy paper towels in rolls where the napkins tear into narrow strips rather than a large square. Just about the size of a strip of toilet paper.
The packaging of such paper has a size mark.
Rather, I always have a roll of paper of a regular size at home, and a roll with a narrow margin.
In general, I can't do without it in the kitchen.

the house just lived in rolls of toilet paper

I always have a roll of toilet paper in the kitchen, what a shame they will bring a box of toilet paper from a wholesaler and spend it in different ways, enough for a long time.

Ikra, well, generally cool, I would try, but I'm not sure if it's okay to do this on a regular electric stove. I don't have a grill. Surfaces can be assigned - one for meat, one for fish. Well, it will be spent gradually, this is also normal. It costs 990 rubles.

Nothing cool, except for the course of your thought, I thought so too and bought immediately 2

Firstly, it heats up for a very long time, if the electric stove burns out on the bills, everything is salted just awful, that piece of meat that was fried must be rinsed, if you want to eat it can be used as a cutting board (cut vegetables for salad) too salted, the board is wet, dries for a long time Now I put it in the bath, while it fills with water, it seems like I took a bath with Himalayan salt

[Ikra]

It costs less on Ozone. The discount is different all the time, I bought about 400 rubles, there are different ones, even - for grilling, with a recess - for serving. Round and square.
I tried to grill meat and sausages. She put a grate on the magnal, a salt plate on the grate. It is written that gradual heating is needed, it confuses me, like a plate can burst.
Once we experimented everything, next time I will be bolder.
It is convenient that you can put firewood down as it burns out. But you need to fry on two plates at once, because one is not enough in area.
Then I washed this piece of salt with water. If you fry the fish, it's okay, not such a porous material, it will burn and will not smell. I had plans for the fish.
The meat is salty in thin layers. Saves only a large amount of vegetables for a side dish.
In short, a toy.



Yesterday at Ozone I bought a food warmer like this

🔗

It's just a lovely neat shape without pretentiousness, a convenient small volume, I have 1.8 liters written on the box
The most is for family gatherings with barbecue in the country.
You should only pay attention to the fact that you cannot heat an empty pan, it may burst (personal experience)

I buy paper towels in rolls where the napkins tear in narrow strips, not a large square.

I also switched to such towels! Very comfortably!
Most often I take such

[Toilet paper]

I buy paper towels in rolls where napkins tear in narrow strips

I also have such, with a narrow thread, it is very convenient to tear off the desired size I keep a towel on the door, always at hand, because I use it very often



Toilet paper I stopped using markups in the kitchen, because it is saturated with various chemical additives, from aromatic to quickly dissolving in toilet water. And such paper will not, for example, get wet meat or fish from excess liquid. If you only wipe the table, but we put food on it
It was impossible to dissuade my mother from using toilet paper, including instead of table napkins, wiping her mouth, the old ones had their own principles of money saving. As a result, almost constant redness around the mouth and lips.
And you need it? Toilet paper for wiping other places is intended

Toilet paper for wiping other places is intended

In "other places" the skin and mucous membranes are even softer and the reaction to chemistry will be even faster than on the face. There is no special chemistry, everything is the same, plus or minus, that in napkins and towels.

[Galya]

Galya, but am I against Not at all. Everyone uses kitchen little things in their own way

[Twig]

Twig, thanks for the tip about Ozone, I'll probably try this tile anyway.

[Admin]

Admin, I also do not mind, I am only against unfounded horror stories. :-)

I'm only against unfounded horror stories

And what are the horror stories? The fact that toilet paper is impregnated with chemistry, so almost everyone knows it, it's not a secret Whether to use this paper for food, dishes, faces, purely everyone's problems

I expressed only my opinion, however, like each of you
For me personally, there is a division: "this is for the face - this is for the priests", even on a purely emotional level

By the way, you can check the effect of the paper yourself. Try dampening paper towels, they will be recyclable even after dry and are odorless.
What can not be said about even high-quality branded toilet paper, which, after soaking with water, dissolves almost immediately and cannot be restored and used, and has aromatic additives. And manufacturers do not hide on the packaging that the paper contains additives that facilitate the rapid dissolution of paper, which is quite appropriate for a toilet.

The fact that toilet paper is impregnated with chemistry, so almost everyone knows, it's not a secret

I didn’t know, I thought only the one with the smell How to live now ???

How to live now ???

Explore sources that inspire confidence and not sweat for no reason. :-).

Today in the Israeli forum I read the advice and used it already. If there are traces of the dough on the sponge, the bowl from under the dough has been washed, etc. Then rub this sponge on the old cutting board, everything comes off at once

Our toilet paper, gray-brown-crimson, without a sleeve, which costs three kopecks - here it is definitely not saturated with anything)

[Sibelis]

Sibelis, here I am in the kitchen and use it or rather used the fat from the pans to remove. It's a pity for the one that is more expensive, it is only for other places: D Yes, and the pans with fat have disappeared since I abandoned the stove. For pots and grills, non-woven napkins. They are, of course, disposable, but I do not throw it away right away, the purpose of further use depends on the degree of pollution from the table to the floor in the toilet (cats are dusting with filler) ...

[Anna67]

Anna67, yes, I also use non-woven napkins, and not only in the kitchen - wipe my shoes, for example. Their only drawback is that they melt if, for example, you wipe a hot pan.

Our toilet paper, gray-brown-crimson, without a sleeve, which costs three kopecks - here it is definitely not saturated with anything)

I apologize, distracted from the kitchen theme, but in the one that is gray for three kopecks, I met sawdust, and not only wooden

Is it better than fishing?

Went off like a body wash

[Twig]

Twigwell, it goes without saying
To be honest, I, too, in the kitchen somehow cannot imagine toilet paper, purely psychologically. Maybe wipe something off the floor. But I have no animals, there are completely different layouts.



As for the sponges for washing dishes, since such a topic has gone on here: for some reason, they do not "bloom" and do not smell. Normally washed out during the washing process of the dishes themselves. True, I do not put a sponge into the remains of food or fat, in such cases I first wipe it either with a paper napkin or wash it off with a stream of hot water.



And there is still such a thing on the farm

In principle, quite convenient

I got this set of covers. Quicklids are called.

As the manufacturers assure, these three lids are a revolutionary invention, they will replace the entire arsenal available on the farm, and supposedly they have a lot of advantages.

Wait and see. While they seem unusual to me.

[Larissa]

Larissa, I watched the video ... I did not understand what is the advantage of these covers.

[Alla]

Alla, in my opinion, they are bent in a different way, inward, and when shifted to the edge, they do not slide off the pan. They do not drip over the edge of the pan, but everything flows to the center, well, the spoon lies. Do not put a spoon on the lid curved outward.
Yes, Larissa?

The guy in the video has his teeth cut out of the toilet
Such covers seem to me a controversial option. The dome still ensures proper air circulation during cooking.

[Ilmirushka]

Ilmirushka, Yes. And they don't get warm. And they are not limited by the diameter of the dishes. There is actually a full video there, for 10 minutes, but I really did not drag it here.

I always have a roll of toilet paper in the kitchen, what a shame

Gee. At one time we had not a house, but a courtyard - constantly strangers came because of the animals. And these rolls are everywhere - wipe the dog's mouth or the cat's eyes, the kitten's ass ...))) Some looked with slightly bewildered eyes, and then ... They said that now they themselves are using it with might and main and do not care for outside opinion, because it is convenient!

[dopleta]

I liked the covers. Also the fact that it is convenient to fold them. You never know how to attach these domed ones. And in general, it seems to me, they are clever to handle when cooking.

dopleta, I will wait for feedback on the use.

And these rolls are everywhere - wipe the dog's mouth or the cat's eyes, the kitten's ass ...)

I don’t use paper towels at all in the kitchen, but I also have to clean up the animals with towels and paper. I compared both from the same manufacturers, I somehow did not notice the difference in composition, only in size.



And toilet paper with dyes sweeteners, flavors and other bells and whistles, I don't even take it for us, we are not American Marines! :-)

I compared both from the same manufacturers, I somehow did not notice the difference in composition, only in size.

So otzh ... Personally, a small roll is still more convenient for me than a large one. ((Sometimes you really need a shredder, but pulling this odorobno, which a large roll clutters up the tabletop space, does not suit. Therefore, there are towels, but they are stored in a box and are used exclusively for working with food - spread pancakes-pancakes-pies in cheesecakes, dry potatoes , if suddenly I do fries every three years ...

My son recently snotty terribly, I go into the room - he sits at a computer working, next to a basket with "waste material", on the table in the distance is a roll of towels and two rolls of paper at hand. Already running out.)) Says, paper is also handier.

Girls, who has a round "spoon" and Tescom's red tweezers to remove the tails, which is more convenient? I have tweezers, I am absolutely delighted with them, so I am pondering whether I want a spoon or not? And without her trash is already an ocean ...

tea we are not american marines! :-)

She burst out laughing! I almost choked on ice cream!)))))

[Crown]

Crown, and for some reason I only recognize the most sophisticated toilet paper. Perhaps at heart I am an infantryman.



Bijou, and I have special absorbent Italian napkins to absorb fat. I'm an American spy.

special absorbent Italian napkins for fat absorption

What kind?

who has a round "spoon" to remove the tails

I have no tweezers, but I am delighted with the spoon. I used this summer to remove tails in strawberries and pick out tomato (what is the name?) Stalks. I have a spoon with cloves

[gawala]

gawala,

[Sibelis]

Sibelis, Thank you. I realized what it was. We sell something similar.

[Sibelis]

Sibelis,
Name: girl-swoon: the term, of course, is very controversial.
I wonder where they are sold?

[Lena]

who has a round "spoon" and Tescom's red tweezers to remove the tails

Lena, I'm more comfortable with a spoon.

I will wait for feedback on the use

Ira, I can already answer. Very funny, unusual (especially when a small ladle is covered with a large lid), but, you know, really convenient! Am I really going to liquidate all my covers? And screens? And a sippy bottle? By the way, you need to cover something boiling with a specialist, check - what will happen?
