Kitchen little things (2)

Girls! I saw that they ordered a silicone steamer in Horse. Have not received? Any impressions?

The only thing is that they do not fit on top of each other in height.

There are also IDEA liter containers, they are lower and it is possible that they will fit for the remaining space above a 1.5 liter jar

This is exactly what I do:

Good day! I got a new toy from Ali. I don't know if it can be attributed to kitchen trivia, but a curious thing is the Xiaomi Mi TDS Pen TDS water quality tester.
Now I check water quality everywhere. It turns out that in St. Petersburg very clean water flows from the tap, although all the pipes in our house and to the house were changed a couple of years ago. At the dacha, the well is more mineralized, but we knew about it.

I got a new toy from Ali.

Cool thing!

al2, very nice thing. We are waiting for the link.

that is, does the data match the official version?

It turns out that very clean water flows from the tap in St. Petersburg

Clean, but very "rusty"
al2, and what does the little thing show?

[Arina]

Clean, but very "rusty"

Arina,, this is akin to "I am strong, but light"

[Ilmirushka]

do the official version match?

Ilmirushka, it is clean at the exit after the treatment plant, and after passing through the pipes - as you are lucky. At work (in the old fund), water is only from bottles, and at home only from a filter ...

It is rusty not only because of the pipes, but because of the high iron content in nature.

I wrote that our pipes are new and not yet rusty. But in the country, the content of iron and calcium is really higher than normal, but the growth test attributes it to drinking water. Tester article

In St. Petersburg, on Avito, if anyone is quicker, you can find for 500 rubles

[al2]

al2, Alla,the toy is really interesting, when I received it, I also measured it from all sources of water, including bottled water, and then, I also got this one

[Catherine]

Catherine, and a link to the studio. The pH meter is even more interesting.

[al2]

al2, Alla, a good toy! I, too, would not refuse, a necessary and useful thing.

PH meter

Interestingly, and the acidity of the leaven will measure this? Hardly, probably, otherwise it would be too easy

[Sveta]

Sveta,

Interestingly, and the acidity of the leaven will measure this?

To do this, you need to read how it works, I think it can. We are waiting for information from the hostess.
I read a lot of them, there is for liquid and there is for soil.

Girls, reference to pH - METER
It is designed for liquid, at the bottom there is a glass cone, moreover, it is deepened and it will be very problematic to wash it from the viscous dough.

It turns out that in St. Petersburg very clean water pours from the tap,

In 2012, we lived for some time in St. Petersburg on 7th Krasnoarmeyskaya, house 21 .., so at that time it was impossible to drink the local water and we had to buy bottled water every day for cooking and drinking. Maybe the water is not well purified in all areas, or it was bad then, but this house, as I remember, was old. It would be nice if now the water in all areas was clean and drinkable.Maybe bad water happens only in old houses where the pipes haven't changed, I don't know ...

Maybe bad water only happens in old houses where pipes have not changed,

If the pipes were changed in the old house, this does not mean that the water will be good. After all, it can flow up to the house from the water treatment plant through pipes 10-15 kilometers, and what kind of pipes are there is unknown!

After all, it can flow up to the house from the water treatment plant through pipes 10-15 kilometers, and what kind of pipes are there is unknown!

Well, yes, the reasons for bad water can be different and it is possible that bad and insufficiently purified water comes to the house.

.

there are three filters and still the kettle is overgrown with a gray thick coating in a week

apparently, you are filtering for the wrong reason, or you significantly exceed the resource of using filters ...

This napkin
Vileda / Napkin Aktifiber

If that's enough for a month, then for such a price (159 rubles) I think it's great.

Today it is more expensive - 163r
Yesterday I also received this, today I experienced it. Class, I'll buy myself one in stock and give it to my girlfriends! There are a lot of different and expensive and cheap ones, but this one is a little different ... when dry it is tough, and wet, like rubberized to the touch, perfectly collects moisture, does not leave stains on the glass.

I also received a burger press from Waldberries - I haven't used it yet, but there are burrs on this form, my son will have to modify it by hand with a sandpaper.

I also got a set of mini-makers. 🔗 I liked it, it will come in handy. The son asked him to buy one for technical needs.

Silicone molds Orange honeycomb is a good silicone, there was very little smell. I washed it, night on the balcony - they don't smell. Today they are cheaper than I bought. I got it for 217r, and today 198r are orange and there are still brown ones for 171r.

[Alla]

Alla, I also played with a similar toy about three years ago, now I can't find it, I live on Rzhevka, but our water is excellent! At least in my house .. of course there is iron, but not in such a quantity as it used to be.
Galya Thank you very much for the ozonizer!

lega, Galina, I beg your pardon, but in "Galamart" the same thing for 59 rubles, however, now only on "Begovaya"

[lega]

I got it for 217r, and today 198r orange

On my phone, the color shows red.
lega, Galina, are they really orange?

Forgive me, not so long ago information surfaced somewhere. But explain to me why and how to use a grid-grill and how it can be better than baking paper?

Yesterday I found it by chance, rectangular and round. I bought it three years ago and did not use it nirazu

[Venera007]

Venera007, Tatyana, the topic now has a convenient search! Copy the word "grill mesh", paste and the system will find all the matches.
The grid is needed to either protect it from sticking (if the bottom surface of the device heats up too much), or from falling through small pieces (on the grid, for example).

Renewal:

I could not pass by. She is small, somehow cozy. And only 114 rubles

how can it be better than baking paper?

it is reusable, you do not need to cut it like paper every time (it also has the edges wrapped at the wrong time), and you can also use it not only for baking / frying, but also in the dryer

I rarely use a grid. For drying, yes. I put it under the cakes in a pizza maker. But there was not much experience when I spread yeast pies on the grid, and they rose in all directions and dug into the grid. Then she tore it off. The bottom came out ugly, and it took a long time to wash the net.
In general, I rarely use it, unlike Teflon rugs.

it is reusable

I threw out the paper once, and then wash the net. For me, it's easier to wash a flat surface. And this is a net .. how to wash it then?

Dishwashing brush.

I only use the net in the dome grill, so that the mugs of zucchini, for example, do not fall through their own grate. I do not like the fact that it is necessary to then wash both the grate and the net, but there is simply no other thing to come up with.
And for baking nunafig. I don't even want to wash teflon rugs. I only use paper. Moreover, for dry baking, it can be used 3-5 times. Then just throw it away and don't wash anything.
Grease a baking sheet with oil and then wash it - it's generally tin.

I could not pass by. She is small, somehow cozy. And only 114 rubles

Yeah, I also grabbed one in Crossroads. First, a mint gift (at a discount, but the last one), and then a pink one. It seems not necessary, full of all sorts, but so pretty.

On my phone, the color shows red.
lga, Galina, in reality they are just orange?

Yes, exactly orange.

what and how to use the grill mesh

I use this mesh for baking when I get hot ones out of the oven. It is very convenient and quick to cool pies, biscuits, cookies and other pastries on it. Does not damp the bottom and freezes very quickly

what and how to use the grill mesh

I also didn't understand why ... When frying fish ...
But for baking - yes ... just that ... Thanks for the idea!

[the bottom is on]

what and how to use a grill mesh and how can it be better than baking paper?

Who's in the oven or what other stove the bottom is on, this mesh is simply salvation, everything is baked with it evenly, thanks to the air "layer" that it creates, but you still need to put either paper or a Teflon mat on top of it so that the baked goods do not fall through and do not stick to the mesh, then you should wash anything don't have to.
I cut a circle out of a square into a P1 pizza maker for sweet pastries and always put it under a mold or under a rug.

[win-tat]

win-tat, ooooo, Tatiana, I also use this grid.
I also use it on a gas grill pan.
At the expense of laundering. I do not rush to wash immediately after use, but soak it. If there is no suitable container, then I put a very wet cloth on the mesh or grate, and then wash it with a brush.

Girls, if you need a salt meter, stumbled across Zdoroveevo:

There are still plenty of test strips and PH-measures.

I also use this grid.

Sveta, an excellent adaptation, is very helpful.

whoever burns in the oven or some other stove, this mesh is simply salvation, everything is baked with it evenly, thanks to the air "layer" that it creates, but on top of it you still need to put either paper or a Teflon mat,

Thanks for the idea. In my oven, the bottom burns only when I put a very high temperature. I'll try with a paper mesh. I really don't like to wash everything afterwards. Even with a brush. You may not see what's stuck where, even a corner, but you will miss it by accident.
And then I really wanted to sell. I still have a round one, 24 cm in diameter. Maybe someone needs it?
