10. Tips for reducing kitchen fumes
According to experts' research, kitchen oil fume is directly related to the temperature of oil during cooking: when oil is heated above 200℃, acrolein, the main component of oil fume, is produced, which has a strong spicy taste and has a strong stimulating effect on nasal, eye and throat mucosa, and can cause respiratory diseases such as rhinitis, pharyngitis and tracheitis; When the oil burns to "spit fire", the oil temperature exceeds 300℃. At this time, in addition to acrolein, aggregates will be produced, which will lead to chronic poisoning and easily induce cancer of respiratory system and digestive system.
(1) Change the cooking habit of "stir-frying". The oil temperature should not be overheated, and the oil temperature should not exceed 200℃ (limited to the smoke in the oil pan), which can not only alleviate the "oil fume syndrome", but also effectively preserve the vitamins of the next pot of vegetables.
(2) It is best not to fry repeatedly. In order to save some oil, some housewives do not throw away the oil used for frying fish and ribs after repeated use, but it also contains many carcinogens. Repeatedly heated cooking oil, such as cooking oil used for frying food for many times, not only contains carcinogens, but also the lampblack it produces contains more carcinogens, which is more harmful.
(3) Be sure to ventilate the kitchen. The kitchen should always be naturally ventilated, and at the same time, a range hood with good performance and effect should be installed. When cooking, keep the range hood on, and turn it off after 10 minutes.
1 1. Small idea of water heater waterproof scale
(1) After the water heater (gas water heater, electric water heater) is used, turn off the gas or power supply, open the tap water valve, and let the cold water pass through the circulating water pipe (water storage tank) 10 second, so that the hot water and steam in the heat exchange water pipe can be discharged, so that no scale will be formed in the circulating water pipe (water storage tank), so that the components can be cooled in time and the service life can be prolonged. Because hot water stays in the circulating water pipe or water storage tank, it is easy to precipitate and produce scale, which is not easy to eliminate. If the scale thickens over time, it will inevitably lead to poor drainage.
(2) It is advisable to adjust the temperature between 50-60℃. When the water temperature exceeds 85℃, the scaling will be aggravated.

20. Quick defrosting skills of refrigerator
Refrigerators without automatic defrosting devices can be quickly defrosted by the following methods. First, turn off the power of the refrigerator and take out the food in the box. Then according to the size of the freezer, fill one or two aluminum lunch boxes with boiling water and put them into the freezer. After a few minutes, the frost on the freezer wall begins to fall off (if it doesn't fall off, you can gently pull it by hand). If there is no metal evaporation plate at the top of the freezer, the lunch box filled with boiling water should be covered to prevent the plastic inner wall from being deformed due to sudden temperature rise at low temperature. Using this method is much more time-saving than heating up and defrosting yourself after power failure.
