Kitchen little things (2)

One of my fruits, vegetables. Other dishes.

Irina, I can't even imagine how you can wash fruits with a brush. Is it convenient, you say ?? The brush, as I understand it, is soft, right?
How about the dishes ?? How much detergent is spent ??
Something I do not understand for sure

Apples, pears, lemons, oranges, etc. My brush is always soft enough and does not damage the fruit.

And I wash the dishes with it, not instead of a sponge, but together with it (hard-to-reach places, cutting and other such things: for example, a grate from a meat grinder, graters from a combine, spare parts from a coffee machine, etc.)

And I my Berner for her, so as not to touch him again

And I my Berner for her, so as not to touch him again

We think and act in the same way.

Apples, pears, lemons, oranges

as well as carrots, beets, potatoes ... and so on and so on

Girls, my darlings! How I love you all
I, you bastard, would not have thought of washing a Berner with a brush without you !!!
I always suffer with him, I don’t know how to wash properly! And now I urgently need to go to IKEA for the brushes!
And I was yesterday in the mega, IKEA is nearby ...

[about]

Oh, yes, everything can and should be washed with this or that brush, wherever possible!
I have for a vacuum cleaner - a container for my water filter.
Today I washed in the bathroom, sorry, a circle for the toilet, and immediately rubbed the bath itself along the junction with the wall, although I usually do this.aboutWith a big brush or a steam cleaner, and there and then a sink and taps, - in between.
The girls have already written about dishes and vegetables and fruits.
The stove, if it is a little dirty, then with a sponge, and if something has stuck, I wash it off with a brush, and then with a sponge. Etc.
That is, everything that you are going to wash, for example, rubber boots, wheels of trolleys or strollers, plastic, glass, metal things and surfaces - first mentally figure out if it is better to use a brush for this. Often you will find that yes!
And it is convenient that they come in different colors, so as not to confuse them.
In addition to those on the suction cup, there are also those that are convenient to hang on a hook, those are also different colors and even cheaper.
And rightly so the girls wrote that they are of quite decent quality.

Yeah, now I see. I have for a lot of what the toothbrushes listed in use. It seems to me that less spray scatters from them when you blast it back and forth. Ikeevski did not misbehave on the subject of rigidity, it will be necessary to do this on occasion ...

Well, you need to get used to the spray, or rather, so that there is no spray. After all, the toothbrush, if you pull it sharply, will also splash.
And one more thing: the softer the brush, the less it splashes and the gentler it washes. I also take this into account, where it is necessary, which is softer, which is harder.
But this is not another brush, just the hotter the water, the softer the brush in it, and I regulate it by the temperature of the water.

Devulki, thanks for the science, I love you all!

Girls, a rather large Chibo department has appeared in Moscow. For example, there are also brushes for vegetables and fruits, about which we only spoke. True, in my opinion, they are harsh - good for potatoes, but for fruits - ... I made a small order there (brushes, a syringe for greens, such tiny containers for freezing greens are cute!

🔗

, something else), received in Konkovo. I ordered through Enter. If everyone already knows, then sorry!

Why put them in the dishwasher?

To be clean. They also need to be washed.

Who will tell you about the teskom grater. Two options are considered: a thin one with the same small cutter cells and a thin one, but divided in half into 2-size cells. I hope they understand me)))

In addition to those on the suction cup, there are also those that are convenient to hang on a hook, those are also different colors and even cheaper.

Oh no, something didn't take root in my kitchen .. Wherever you put it or hang it, it drips from them, and it doesn't look good. You have to hide in the closet, and then climb behind them to use them .. Long, wet, easier to do. )) But I literally came to life when brushes without a handle at all appeared on sale. They are all sorts of different colors and design. Here's something like that, but I got a duckling, it's more convenient to grab it with my palm.))
IMHO, for ease of use, brushes with handles and were not lying around. More precisely, I have twenty different kinds of them lying around. Forgotten, abandoned.



Such a baby lives perfectly either inside the sink in the kitchen, then on a table dispenser with a "bowl" for a washcloth, then in the cabinet door under the sink in a special plastic "saucer" from a can from Fairy.)) And nothing sticks out from her - all sticking out shoved under the sink too, but further. There they spread out with their hands, where they do not interfere with anyone.

And for vegetables there is a special one - with short soft bristles and a nozzle for a finger for fixing.

I am such a sink.

Yeah, and me. And the sink, and graters, and all sorts of cracks are hard to reach.

Tell me, is it cool that nothing sticks out?)) I just caught myself a long time ago that I still more often hold the usual by the head, and not by the handle. Unless it's my toilet or the cat's pot. That's just there on the handles and remained.))

I bought such an elongated Tovolo container for ice cream:

[julia_bb]

julia_bb, Wow! Class! Where did you buy it? And what is their volume?

[Elena-Liza]

Elena-Liza, the volume of 1.5 quart is approximately 1.3 liters. I bought it in the Crate Barrel store, it's a little expensive, of course, but I wanted it for a long time, and then I came across it) Only there were red ones, well, I took what I have.

[julia_bb]

julia_bb, thanks for the answer. We don't have such a store. For such a volume, it seems to be not expensive.

I bought it at IKEA - nothing special - a dishwashing brush.

I'm not even talking about my favorite light green color, it's also quite functional for its intended purpose and a very convenient suction cup at the end.
I now have it on the sink, then hanging on the wall above the sink - it turned out to be very convenient.

About 5 years ago I bought three brushes of different colors, I gave one, two to myself. Right now, only one has fallen into disrepair, the second has been uncovered and put into action))))) They are actually not bad, I had an analogue from the metro but at a price three times more expensive, now I will buy these Ikeevsky ones.

[Kara]

And I give her my Berner, so as not to touch him again

I washed her Debayer mandolin - turned it into shreds, no longer mine

Kara, Chardonnay,
I wash my fruits and vegetables with a special, comfortable brush from Tescoma. And this is my dishes, mostly pans, when everything is already washed, or in the dishwasher, but they forgot the frying pan, well, then a brush is used, you don't want to wet your hands. For her alone, I do not wash the dishes (as in the movies, the irony of fate, part 1 Zhenya washed with a brush), my sponge, she only had glass or steel baking dishes. Very comfortable, but I don't like every shape of the brush. Ikeevskaya, just the same, of excellent shape and rigidity.

Kara, Chardonnay,

But I literally came to life when brushes without a handle at all appeared on sale. They are all sorts of different colors and design. Here's something like that, but I got a duckling, it's more convenient to grab it with my palm.))

Also there is such a kid, I really like it. My shell is mine, it will be tougher than Ikeev's. In general, each has its own purpose.

Who will tell you about the teskom grater. Two options are considered: a thin one with identical small cutter cells and a thin one, but divided in half into 2-size cells. I hope they understand me)))

Doubles are uncomfortable for me, willingly or unwillingly I end up on the other side when I work. I take and have Teskomovskie in monovariant.

I bought such an elongated Tovolo container for ice cream:

We sold (and maybe they are also on sale, I did not look specifically) the same oval-elongated containers of Belarusian production. They are different in volume and height. I bought several pieces of different heights. One is tall, about 15 centimeters high, another about 5 centimeters high. I use them to collect a side dish for my man: I put a side dish and meat into a tall one, then I insert a five-centimeter one with salad or vegetables on top of it, which I close with a lid. A small container fits tightly into a large one.It turns out such a two-story structure with a height of about 17-18 cm (a small container with its entire height enters into a large one). It is very convenient for "ssoboeki", and for trips out of town, and for storage in the refrigerator. They can be heated in them and in the microwave.
And they cost inexpensively: 0.5-1 USD (in terms of Belarusian rubles) apiece.

[variety]

variety, cool! I was also looking for cheaper analogs (Auchan, Ikea, etc.), but I didn't come across something. Therefore, I grabbed this one) According to the picture, you can not understand the size, it has a length of 30 cm, a height of 12 cm, and inside additional. the container is removed for better cooling. I met them on Amazon and ibey, or you can score Tovolo in a search engine)

Julia, did you order them on ebee? Or did you buy it somewhere in a retail store? Where, if not a secret?

Irina, bought in a retail store Crate & Barrel, by chance, it is not far from work. If necessary, I can buy more)

Yulia, is this store located at this address Presnenskaya embankment, 2, shopping and entertainment center AFIMALL City? Interested in containers

[Svetlana]

Svetlana, Yes exactly. This shop is here. On the showcase, things 4-5 were

Julia, thank you very much, I will visit at the weekend

As an analogue of a container for ice cream, and not bad at that.
Ikea has a similar oval, with a nice plastic cover in blue, the same groove along the edge, they are matte. Volume 3 types. The price is ridiculous. For the freezer. The height of the side is 4, 6 and 8 cm, which is 0.9 liters by 6, and 1.2 by 8 in height. In the picture you can pick and see the largest of the series.
These are made in Italy. From the same series, high for cereals - china.
🔗

I have such, the largest, 20 cm long - it is short, the ice cream spoon does not have time to roll the ball) Just as a container for anything - very good, and in the freezer too)
But the trick of a long container is to roll a good ball with a spoon for ice cream (I have Tescom)) If there is another picker (he makes balls) or just put ice cream like that, then such a container is probably not needed. Anyone will fit

[julia_bb]

julia_bb, I have it too. The side is present there. In the photo, yes, they are simply nested one into one. I came up with ice cream, I have a meter spoon, not self-cleaning, it picks up the ball normally.

[julia_bb]

Here's a large container, 30 cm long:
🔗
julia_bb, Yulenka, your tray is, of course, very cute, but for this money it is easier to buy a normal spoon for the empty food, so as not to pick up the container later under the spoon. After all, a spoon, as a rule, is a thing of a longer use, and a container is wider, that is, it is desirable to be more versatile.

Here's a large container, 30 cm long:

Olga, to be honest, I don't like such a container - it doesn't fit me in size 20 cm x 31 cm - it will barely be filled with ice cream and take up a lot of space in the freezer. My exit from the ice cream maker is just 1 liter.
But here everyone chooses for himself what suits whom, or buy a new 2nd spoon, or a new container

and than just a deep colander or a vegetable dryer is not suitable for you

I thought the same thing.

Girls, did anyone use such a thing?
🔗

Oh god, it seems we've run out ...

I finally came in to lust for something ... but at the same time I will report.
Remember I once asked about Burner's knife? Here's one:


Girls, what an awesome thing! I have probably had it for two months. During this time, she sharpened knives four times, no more. And even the Santoku knife, whose blade itself is very thick, and it is easier to sharpen it, is now as sharp as a razor. In general, I'm happy, I don't know how!
That's it, I reported, I'll go now to read the last 100 pages - what did you buy mulberries ...

[Lenchik]

Lenchik, I also need a knife. So you advise? Took on ozone?

[Elena Tim]

Elena Tim, Lena, and I'm keeping my eyes on this little knife. We must take.

two months. During this time, she sharpened knives four times, no more.

Elena! My last (by no means the most expensive) knives for a year and a half or two and I have not sharpened them even once! Musata is enough to cut the paper. Admit it, what are you doing with them, shredding nails?

[Bijou]

Bijou, immediately reveal the secret: what kind of knives?

[Irina]

Irina, abbreviated. From Tramontina. Favorite-from-hand-not-released is her 🔗, the rest of the different lines - three station wagons from the Chef-Master, Polywood and Centuri series and the rest of the little things - vegetable, tomato, cheese, bread, sirloin ...

But. I don't have plastic boards as a class, maybe that's why? Because I gave one young lady here 🔗 - I have for several years (he is my very first from this manufacturer) cuts through a loaf of bread, like butter and without crumbs, and planes a newspaper, and after a month I hardly cut off the thread with it.

I don't have plastic boards as a class

Do they blunt knives? Dont know

Lud, I don't know for sure either. But just in case, I don't have them (and there are in that house). Yes, and I am very uncomfortable with them - I love large and stable boards, I buy the most ordinary wooden 40 centimeters long at the bazaar, they cost a penny (I took the last 170 rubles, or something), they are enough for a long time, they do not fidget on the table, plastic is on They do not rub the countertop, you can put hot things, you can also chop meat for minced meat, chopping quickly, quickly like a professional cook is also convenient - they are quiet and obedient. Well, unless you put it in the dishwasher.

I shove ordinary boards into the dishwasher. Not all, but the one on which I butcher. Three years until nothing happened to her.

Yes, I could shove small ones too. And as for the big ones, I lost the habit. They bend them and then, when shredding, the knife does not fit tightly. ((Therefore, there is a separate board for the meat or at least a side, boiling water and a metal washcloth.))

Lenchik, I also need a knife. So you advise? Took on ozone?

Yeah, Ol, I advise. I took it on Ozone.
Only now I did not understand, they have different prices there for seemingly the same knife (only the colors differ). But, just in case, I bought the most expensive one - for 880, I think, a ruble.

Lena, I'm keeping my eyes on this little knife. We must take.

Oh, I also built, built ... and then I got tired of adjusting the knives before every cooking, I went to Ozone and ordered it! Damn, happy as an elephant! She already removes shavings from the blade! I once watched a video clip, I could not believe my eyes. And then, on my own experience, I was convinced - she still removes!
You just need to take into account that the surface to which the little knife will stick should be smooth, not corrugated. Then he sits tightly.

Elena! My last (by no means the most expensive) knives for a year and a half or two and I have not sharpened them even once!

I can't be so lucky!

[Linen]

Linen, there the most expensive is 808 rubles. It is written that the color is light green, and in the picture it is yellow. What color do you have?

Oh, I probably mixed up the tsiferki, it is quite possible that 808 re.
I have a yellow one.
