Little culinary tricks and secrets

I'm actually chic cabbage leaves up.

That's how it turns out here! All parts are cut so that they are then shredded across the leaves!

Oh ... I really don't know how to explain ...
The top was cut off ... shredded.
We put the swing on the table with a cut, stump up ... cut off the first large piece of the side along the dotted line ... put it on the table with this cut and chop it.
Then we cut off the second piece, already smaller ...
Again with a cut on the table and chop ...
We cut off the third piece, the size of it is the same as that of the second ... we put it on the table with this cut ... shred ...
And the last fourth piece - the smallest remains - we cut it off, again on the table with this cut and shred ...
Maybe it will be more understandable? ...



The trick is that when we put them on the shredding table, the leaves are located in one direction (parallel to the table) ... and you don't need to twist and twist this piece to chop it into strips! ...

Seven-year plan, Svetlana, cabbage affairs

I also cut cabbage, very convenient and waste-free.

[Irin]

Yes Irin! Almost the same…
But I always cut with my hands ... even though there is a Burner ... well, I love it ...
For Burner, of course, it is more convenient, as you wrote! ...
But if with your hands, then in pieces cut from the stump, it turns out more conveniently ...

Oh ... I really don't know how to explain ...

Sveta, yes, I already understood. That is, it was immediately clear from your picture, but got confused in the description. And I usually shred the cut up

But if with your hands, then in pieces cut from the stump, it turns out more conveniently ...

When I come across not dense heads of cabbage, then, of course, with a knife.

[Ludmila]

Ludmila, yes, in general, I always cut into four parts and chopped (twisted, cut ...)
And I have not seen any other ways ... but it turns out that many have already adapted and know many of which!
Then - this is for those like me ...

[Svetlana]

Svetlana, now it's clear) I often cut on Borner, but sometimes by hand, leaves up. It will be necessary to try so. It's just that sometimes huge cabbage happens, and you get a very long cut, no?
Lazerson showed in September at MK how to cut cabbage in two ways, I forgot a bit, really, but yours was not there!

ABOUT! Interesting! How did Lazerson cut ...

Svetlana, look here:

[Galina]

Galina! Thank you!!!!
Here's the first way - it's like I've always done!
But the second one, in principle, is similar to this one, which I just showed ... only I did not beat her !! '

[Yulia]

Yulia, if I get a long straw, then I walk across it with a large knife once more. Delov something.

Interesting! How did Lazerson cut ...

Lazerson, Lazerson, I watched how this celebrity barbarously butchered herring, preparing herring under a fur coat.
It was terrible, I couldn't even watch the masterclass to the end.

I watched this celebrity barbarously butcher herring

Go and see yourself ...

It was terrible

Oops ... can we not go?

barbarously butchering herring, cooking herring under a fur coat

So, this is for a fur coat, here at least "chop in a meat grinder" is also suitable. Herring for a fur coat should be finely chopped, in pieces, then what's the difference how to clean it - whole fillet or torn

So, this is for a fur coat, here at least "chop in a meat grinder" is also suitable. Herring for a fur coat should be finely chopped, in pieces, then what's the difference how to clean it - whole fillet or torn

I like to watch the pros work in the kitchen, I always admire how they masterfully handle knives and food, but there was nothing like that, a good half of the fillet remained on the bones and skin and went to waste. Even an amateur would have to knock on his hands for this.
Although, maybe uncle just has arthritis, because he is so awkward.

[Seven-year plan]

Seven-year plan, Light, I bring you Thank you for the cabbage!
I wanted pies, the cabbage is still my own, but the heads of cabbage are loose, I was afraid of Burner. Well, I think we need to try out a new method, along with a new knife. All liked it!

And yesterday I wanted to buy a book for Oksana Putan, he sends us ozone, the book costs 470 rubles, and the parcel to us is 1200
I got sick at once.

Yeah ... not humane delivery ...

I wanted to buy a book by Oksana Putan

yes it is full on the web, read not re-read.

[Lerele]

Lerele, all desires disappear from the cost of shipping to us!

[Rita]

RitaWell, it's a sin for the inhabitants of Estonia to complain: many Petersburgers come to visit you, you can establish a mutually beneficial exchange, excluding the horse prices for delivery.

[Anna1957]

Anna1957, in theory, yes. But in reality, not everything is so simple. That is, first you need to strain a person to buy. It's good if the item can be bought in an online store with delivery. If not, then additional complications arise. A thing can be heavy, it is far away ...
In short, I already had this experience. The result is such a long and complex chain that you no longer want to strain so many people with your desires.

First we cut off the top of the head (there are the thinnest leaves and go well on a salad), and chop it finely ... putting it on the table with a cut - there are all the leaves in one direction ...
And then we cut the stump, like the top of the head, only from the side (four pieces are obtained) and put each piece again with a cut on the table and shred ...

All the time I do this with cabbage. I can't even imagine how you can cut it in another way.

Chocolate cups made with ice.

Galina's link in the topic is not visible to everyone, the spoiler does not open, the gif is something, but they do not hold on to the forums.
In words - pour water into silicone molds for ice or candy, put a wooden stick into each cell with water - a bamboo skewer, broken into pieces, according to the size of the cell. Freeze water with a stick. Take the ice out of the mold slot by the stick and dip it in melted chocolate, not completely, the top remains without chocolate.
Put the "chocolate-coated" ice on a cold surface, the chocolate freezes, remove the ice. And it turns out a chocolate "glass". Fill with whatever you want, or make candy.

[When making mousses]

When making mousses you need to beat them on ice, or put them in the refrigerator, freezer for cooling, but if you have ice maker, then in it immediately and cooling and whipping.

Well, and my little know-how. I had to get it done quickly, and there was an ice cream bowl in the freezer.In it and whipped. Just in a moment the mousse was ready.

[How easy and simple it is to chop mushrooms by hand.]

How easy and simple it is to chop mushrooms by hand.
small analogue of the cut

I put the mushrooms in a bucket, now there are a lot of them from under all kinds of things from the store, 3-4 liters, the bottom of the bucket should be completely flat, and the bucket itself is not narrow. Or a tight plastic bowl with a flat bottom.
The layer of mushrooms is not more than half the height of the bucket or basin.

And with such a Teskomian thing Tescoma "Presto Carving" ruble mushrooms, the degree of grinding depends on the cutting time. It turns out a very small fraction if desired.

I would like to know who keeps fresh celery how? not for a long time, but for about a month.

If these are stems, then just in the refrigerator in a plastic bag, where are all the vegetables and fruits. I have a month for sure. And the tubers are already well stored in refrigerator drawers.

If these are stems

aha, exactly the stems with leaves! but for some reason they are not saved in the package

but for some reason they are not saved in the package

Then try to cut it to the desired size and freeze it. When you need to cook, just add without defrosting

to freeze

eeehhh space in 2 freezers is limited.

[Mirabel]

for some reason I do not save in the package

Mirabel, Vika, good afternoon! And what kind of bags is it sold in, in plastic bags? If yes, then I recommend shifting to the so-called "rustling", they are plastic, and they keep everything better. You can first wrap the "bouquet" in a paper towel, it will absorb moisture and at the same time maintain the "microclimate" in the package))) And it is advisable not to close the package very tightly and still look from time to time. Good luck!))

[torbochka]

torbochka,

"Rustlers", strange as it may sound, are also made of plastic!
To be honest, I do not see a difference in the properties of the bags in relation to storage: the barrier properties are the same - neither one nor the other is allowed to pass air

[special bags for freezing]

barrier properties are the same

They are different, different for different packages - this is verified at least by the experience of freezing food. Because in bags of lower density, the product dries up in the freeze.
When they went on sale special bags for freezing - it has become, and they are very different from simple packaging bags, they are just "rustle".
Packages are different, more and less dense, it's obvious.

[Irsha]

Irsha,

Let's then define the terms:
First, plastics or plastics or polymers are the same thing!
Secondly, what are rustles? This is commonly referred to as low-density polyethylene bags, unlike conventional high-density polyethylene bags, which do not rustle.
Third, for the same thickness, the difference in the transmission of air or water vapor is at the level of error. Try pouring water into both bags, close tightly and wait for which bag the water seeps out faster. The main difference is in mechanical properties: strength, ability to withstand low and high temperatures.
And finally, if we talk about density in physical terms, then the difference of 3% of the weight with the same film thickness (and this is exactly the case for these two types of polyethylene) cannot be determined by any feeling or "weighing" on the hand. It is more correct to talk about the difference in the rigidity of the material.

And what kind of bags is it sold in, in plastic bags?

Celery stalks with leaves are sold simply, without any packaging.
Vic, maybe you can wrap it in a damp cloth, in a bag, but leave it open, do not tie it and put it in a container for fruits and vegetables, or put it behind the lowest shelf and check it periodically. The option to put in a vase of water, in theory, you can, but change the water every day.

And here celery is sold in bags that close like a pocket. That is, there is air access there in the packaging provided by the manufacturer.It is stored for a long time in the refrigerator in a drawer for vegetables and fruits, sometimes I twist it so that it does not lie on one side all the time

And here celery is sold in bags that close like a pocket

Well, you are cool guys. And so with us. not understandable .. By weight ..

10 types of greens that can be grown without land at home. Kitchen garden.

Celery stalks with leaves are sold simply, without any packaging

We sell such celery in a bag open on one side, it breathes air.
I put celery right in this package in the zero chamber of the refrigerator - it lasts a very long time, sometimes 3-4 weeks without compromising quality.
I don't wrap it around, I don't take any measures - it just lies in the refrigerator.

celery sells in an open package

No, you have to look, maybe we, too, still sell in packages. but the memory somehow did not keep the package in my head. In general, we do not have a lot of greenery on sale. Seasonal, I would say so. And celery, by the way, is more used here tuberous and petiolate. Leafy, even seeds for planting, can be found with great difficulty.

[Igor]

Igor, Igrig, why did you write all this so clever now?
We girls are talking about bags at the household level. We're not in a chemistry / physics class.

what are rustles?

packages that rustle

no feeling or "weighing" on the hand can be determined

you can touch, no one is going to weigh.
And, most importantly, I wrote mine real observation, for example, in the freezer.
Moreover, nowadays you don't need to think too much - everything is written - for freezing or for evacuation, that is, they are both dense and tough enough.

I can take a photo, I just have a package of celery in the fridge.
