Kitchen little things (2)

In such pots in my apartment, both potatoes and onions are stored. They keep very well even in warmth

[alba et atra]

alba et atra, Lena, you can find anything. But ... And, anyway, I hope that the moment will come when I can afford to buy such a necessary beauty. True, I prefer the monochrome ones that you showed above.

True, I prefer the monochrome ones that you showed above.

Kungur has such pots even without decor.
And above, I did not bring it.

And above, I did not bring it.

Sorry, Helen. I was wrong. But it's still beautiful. I just have an association with the fact that you always bring beauty.

[Tashenka]

Tashenka, I bought a pot with holes for onions in Leroy - the onions are perfectly stored and cost quite budget, almost 150 rubles

I also like these pots, but I don't really understand them specifically for onions. It’s not enough to fit in this pot. The onion and garlic pots are similar in size. But we eat a lot of onions, but how many will fit? Kilo? Or is it just for storage in the kitchen, so that to run to the balcony (we have vegetables there) less often?

[M @ rtochka]

M @ rtochka, my includes a little more than kg.

but I don't really understand them specifically for the bow

For onions there are large ones, for 3 and 5 kg I saw.

There are big ones for the bow

Skopino ceramics have jars for root crops with a volume of 10 liters (I could not insert a photo)

I have a 4 liter pot for onions, it is on the windowsill

but at 10, I have nowhere to put, there is no balcony.

I have Borisov ceramics for garlic

🔗

like 200 rubles, there was a discount. And yes, garlic has a longer shelf life. Even if it does not deteriorate for a very long time, but somehow it is mummified or something. You can even add this somewhere, the taste of the color remains.

If the garlic is your own, then I understand that it must be stored somehow. Before, I planted and kept just in a cool hallway in a basket of vines, with which we go to pick mushrooms in summer. I went through periodically, threw something away. There was a lot of garlic, so it was not a pity to throw it away, there was still an extra one left. Now I don't plant. And I don't. I buy 2-3 heads on the market, if it ends, I buy again. I don't see any sense at all to buy a lot, so that later think about where to store it. Well, on my windowsills, flowers interfere with airing, every time you have to remove the pots to open the window, so also put the pots of garlic there
And onions too, I buy 10 pieces and store them in the sink, in the same basket as the potatoes.

I buy 2-3 heads on the market, if it ends, I buy again.

So where to store it? I also do and store in a ceramic jar in the kitchen. I don't like the taste of garlic from the fridge. I felt a difference when I started to store it at room temperature.

I buy 2-3 heads on the market, if it ends, I buy again. I don’t see the point of buying a lot so that later think about where to store it.

In our markets and in the store, they sell imported garlic all year round, usually Chinese, but there is little trust in it, or rather there is none at all. In the summer, at the market, I bought an imported one from our south, I specially took such a variety of garlic, which looks very different from the "commercial" ones - medium-sized heads of 4-5 pot-bellied slices, so they used them all year, but I didn't have to buy one. Profit! :-)

Well, on my windowsills, flowers interfere with airing, every time you have to remove the pots to open the window, so also put the pots of garlic there

No, if you put the pots somewhere, then only on the floor, it is darker and cooler there, light also acts destructively, there is no need for garlic. :-)

In our markets, grannies sell their garlic by the piece all year round.

So where to store it?

Two or three heads anywhere. Wrap in a bag of A4 paper and fold it into the corner of any cabinet without any pot.

[incredible]

Girls!
I read and envy: "buy a head of garlic", "a kilo of onions in a ceramic pot" ...
We use both garlic and onion in comparison with other families in incredible quantities. We love them very much, and not for a healthy lifestyle.
Here only at least 4 heads go to pilaf of garlic at a time!
Minced meat contains at least 50% of meat! I'm not talking about manti at all, 130-150% of meat is ideal there!
Therefore, on our loggia there is always at least 5 kg of onions in a square basket, and 30 heads of garlic (this is our own from the garden).
In soup, salads and other dishes, onions are almost always included in the recipe.
We also love onions and garlic baked with other vegetables for a side dish.
Therefore, no kitchen stuff they won't help us, give us the kitchen grain!

[Igor]

Igor, do not envy. Now you get old and stay alone with your wife, then 3 heads of garlic will be enough for you for a month

Two or three heads anywhere. Wrap in a bag of A4 paper and fold it into the corner of any cabinet without any pot.

I also buy onions and garlic in the market. I live near the central market, I know all the outbids' by sight, I buy from my trusted grandmothers, but. of course, more than two things, and I don’t like to store it in a cabinet, and it’s warm there, and my window sill is half a meter, everything fits and is cool, the window is constantly open.

Now you get old and stay alone with your wife, then 3 heads of garlic will be enough for you for a month

Thanks for the positive outlook!
Only now they have long been alone with my wife: children 38 and 33! And they left for a long time!
I'm talking about onions and garlic for the two of us!
PS But, probably, they are not old yet!

Wrap in a bag of A4 paper and fold it into the corner of any cabinet without any pot.

No, we don't agree without a pot!
He's a very beautiful pot!
There are small pots, just for 3 heads of garlic, let it lie in a pot!

No, we don't agree without a pot!

Well, you have to go to meet those who disagree
Will these mugs go? There are no known how many years empty idle, someone once gave. Why not put the garlic there, right?

[Wiki]

Wiki, at one time I dreamed of doing cacti, and occupying all unnecessary mugs-dishes with them ... But my hands did not reach
And in a mug with a hand in my bedroom mirror were all sorts of little things - nail files, scissors, eyeliner, lip gloss. It was convenient for me, everything is in sight and does not lie in bulk. But broke

[Ilmira]

Ilmira, for cacti or any other flower I have a myriad of ceramic pots in my attic.
And cactuses are also full

for cacti

No, no, buying on purpose - it was not my option, I wanted to use exactly what was available, which is no longer in use, but it's a pity to throw it away, everything is somehow memorable.
And cacti ... and I have a lot

No, no, buying on purpose was not my option

I didn't buy specifically for cacti, these are leftovers from other flowers, flowers grew, larger pots were needed, and so the darkness of pots accumulated. I don't like plastic pots in the interior, I tried to paint them on the advice of gold and silver paint from a spray can - it's still a collective farm, as for me.
By the way, I can put garlic and onions in flower pots now

I can now put garlic and onions in flower pots

Yes, here the whole trick is that the ceramic container should be with a lid, and the holes for air penetration are located in the side of the container

The lid can be used to adjust the tray from the pot and drill holes is not a problem.

Minced meat contains at least 50% of meat! I'm not talking about manti at all, 130-150% of meat is ideal there!

My son once ate real Uzbek pasties, when asked - delicious, answered that it is delicious, but there is too much cabbage. :-)) It was he who reacted to so many bows. :-)

I always believed that I use a lot of onions and garlic, but so much
We always buy onions in the fall, which was enough until spring. Not less than 30 kg, this is now that there are two of us left. Previously, they stored 60 kg each. I keep it in the summer kitchen, hanging on hooks in tights. Perfectly stored until the next harvest. The one that begins to sprout, I sprout on a feather.
Garlic is harder to store. But 0.5-1 kg is always there, stored in a basket, also in the summer kitchen. Only the first signs of germination - I clean, grind and fill in with oil. I didn't know about storage in ceramic containers, and the pots are not in demand, and there is a 10L barrel.

[Nelya]

I didn't know about storage in ceramic containers, and the pots are not in demand, and there is a 10L barrel.

Nelya, all the matter is that both onions and garlic need not just ceramics, but with constant air access, that is, there should be holes in the pots. There is only one way out - to hole the pots

[Wiki]

Ltd! Wiki, urgently patent! My pots are empty for 30-40 liters.

Patenting!
I will not store anything myself, round-the-clock Pyaterochka is around the corner and there is always a bow there.

Pyaterochka around the corner

I have to "round the corner" 30 km))))

I have to "round the corner" 30 km))))

And a magnet around the same corner

And a magnet around the same corner

yeah, graze nearby)))

We have Pyaterochka, Magnet, Crossroads in front of our house and Fasol a little to the side - I don't store anything large-scale, I don't fill the bins. All this has already passed in the USSR.

Don't you store salt?
They are afraid that there will be only iodized.

They are afraid that there will be only iodized.

Over time, iodine evaporates. And if you need to quickly, then calcining the salt is not a problem.

it will only be iodized

Flax, I think in our darkness the choice of salt will be for a long time)) Not in magnets, so in small shops)))

Don't you store salt?
They are afraid that there will be only iodized.

No, it won’t, it’s journalists playing in the headlines - “Since the new year, salt will disappear from sale!”, Just the name will change from “cooking” to “dining room”, and fse. :-)

Over time, iodine evaporates. And if you need to quickly, then calcining the salt is not a problem.

Now it doesn't evaporate! It used to be such a formula that iodine quickly decomposed, but now technologies have improved and iodine is added in a slightly different form, now it is persistent. :-)

[Galina]

Galina, and where to read about it?

In Google, the stump is clear! :-)

I went to read But on the culinary YouTube one often comes across the opinion that it doesn't matter whether iodized or not that salt. Yes, and I myself sauerkraut iodized, I did not notice the difference.

Soooo ... googled "Iodized salt has a short shelf life. If it contains potassium iodide, then its shelf life is about six months. If potassium iodate is used as an additive, then the shelf life is increased to 9 months.

After the expiration date, iodized salt loses its beneficial properties. However, it can replace table salt. It should be borne in mind that iodized salt loses its properties at high temperatures. Therefore, it is necessary to add it to dishes immediately before using them."

[Alim]

Alim, yes, quite right, the current iodized salt is not harmful for salting, it does not have the "side" that the earlier one had. :-)

I bought silicone mats from Fix Price, I'm going to use them in the Travola dryer, a little longer in length, but it's easy to cut

Oh, Buttercup, I also ran into FixPrice yesterday and grabbed the same rug, I don't know why, but I liked that it is thinner than ordinary silicone rugs. And in general, he is some kind of cunning - and the weave is clearly visible at the base, like Teflon rugs

he's kind of tricky - and at the base you can clearly see the weave, like Teflon rugs

Yes, I was surprised the same, for the first time I see something like a textile base impregnated with silicone, but they are really thinner than ordinary silicone ones, in general, they grabbed a third piece of 99r ​​for the mat - a good price. Oh, I read the composition: silicone, fiberglass.

I bought one too. The first ones were very smelly, and these don't seem to smell. I also want to try for a dryer

really thinner than ordinary silicone ones, in general, I grabbed a third piece of 99r ​​for the mat - a good price. Oh, I read the composition: silicone, fiberglass.

We have one! The value is that it is more sticky (to the table top) and does not stretch due to the inner mesh frame.
It is just very convenient for rolling out juicier for me for dumplings-manti-dumplings. Our countertop is not smooth, but in the form of a small convex texture of natural stone ...
Tomorrow I should buy another one.
