Kitchen utensils break away: cook more food with less kitchen utensils.

the kitchen is the hardest hit area for surplus goods.

there are a wide variety of kitchen utensils. There are all kinds of tableware, such as bowls, plates, chopsticks, spoons, knives and forks, etc. There are all kinds of pots and kitchen appliances, such as wok, pan, soup pot, casserole, enamel pot, steamer, electric pressure cooker, air fryer, braised pot, rice cooker, microwave oven, oven, steamer, electric baking pan, electromagnetic oven, breakfast machine, bread machine, yogurt machine, soymilk machine, egg cooker, meat grinder, cooking machine and dishwasher.

However, more kitchenware does not mean better cooking and more cooking. Many people are keen on buying kitchen utensils, but they don't like cooking food. There is a feeling that Ye Gong likes dragons.

My family is a family that cooks frequently. If you choose the necessary and frequently used pots and small kitchen appliances, there are very few, mainly wok, rice cooker, microwave oven, electric pressure cooker, steamer, electric kettle and filter kettle. Other kitchen utensils are dispensable, or they are used less frequently, or they can be replaced by other kitchen utensils, which will not and will not have much impact on my cooking.

a wok can basically solve the problems of frying, frying, boiling, frying and steaming. I often use it for cooking, making soup and pancakes. I can steam things by adding a steaming grid. My family often makes cakes, scallion cakes, various pies, leek boxes, hand-grabbed cakes, egg cakes and so on for breakfast. Two flat-bottomed non-stick pans have been given or exchanged before. Pancakes are indeed more convenient, but the coating of non-stick pans is easy to fall off and its service life is short. Someone recommended the electric baking pan, but I have been unmoved. Because I use a wok to fry pancakes very well, it doesn't affect the effect of pancakes at all, and the wok is durable, so I use a wok to conquer the world and use it for multiple purposes, instead of soup pots, pans, electric baking pans and other pots.

The rice cooker mainly cooks rice and has a steaming rack. Steam vegetables or coarse grains while cooking.

The microwave oven is used to heat milk every day and occasionally heat meals. Now the food is basically clear, no food is hoarded, and the refrigerator is often emptied.

The electric pressure cooker is mainly used for cooking meat which takes a long time, such as beef and mutton, chicken, ribs, pig's trotters and so on. I also brought a retractable steaming rack, which I often use to steam steamed meat. Electric pressure cookers can also be used for cooking, and rice cookers can actually be eliminated. But there is a rice cooker at home, and I am still used to cooking with it.

Because my family often cooks pasta, the frequency of using the steamer is relatively high. It is often used to steam steamed buns, steamed bread, flower rolls and so on. It is also used to steam vegetables and coarse grains.

Electric kettles and filter kettles are mainly used for drinking water, and water dispensers are eliminated.

there are also some things that are used less frequently at home. Such as soymilk machine, oven, induction cooker, bread maker, etc.

Soymilk machine is occasionally used to make miscellaneous grains rice paste, but the frequency is very limited. One is the trouble of cleaning, and the other is that the reservation function is neglected when buying, and it is often too late in the morning. Home appliances used for breakfast are best equipped with reservation function to save valuable time in the morning.

when I first bought the oven, I was full of enthusiasm and turned into a baker. Bread, cakes and biscuits are made in turn, and a lot of baking tools are bought. Then it was idle for six or seven years. Last summer, I baked it on a whim, grilled fish, roasted chicken wings, etc., and then I left it idle, occasionally baking Si Kang, which was basically unnecessary. It's hard to please, and my family prefers Chinese pastry. If you are not a baking enthusiast, it is not recommended to buy an oven. The procedure is complicated, time-consuming and laborious, the finished product may not achieve the expected effect, and it is unhealthy to eat too much because it is high in oil and sugar. It is better to go to the cake shop and buy less food.

the bread machine is a fool machine. Before buying, think about flour going in and coming out as delicious and healthy bread. Making bread is really easy, but it tastes bad. It is better to make it by hand and bake it in the oven. I bought it and cooked it several times, and no one wanted to eat it. Later, it was mainly used for dough mixing fermentation, but when I was proficient in dough mixing, I finished it by hand in 5 minutes, then put it in the refrigerator for fermentation overnight, and cooked it now in the morning, which was very convenient. My bread machine mixes dough for 18 minutes, ferments dough for an hour and a half, and cleans the machine, which is really troublesome. Therefore, the bread machine was also put into the cold palace for several years.

In the first two weeks, take out the bread machine and prepare to give it one last chance. If the bread you make still doesn't like to eat, it will be completely eliminated. As a result, I suddenly fell in love with this simple bread after tossing in the oven. It's not good to eat alone, but it's a good choice as a staple food. Make an appointment at night, and there will be hot toast in the morning. The rest of the toast is sliced and frozen. When you are at home or don't want to cook, you can fry a piece of bread, an egg, a dish and a cup of milk for one meal. It is also a happy thing to bring the bread machine back to life.

The induction cooker is used for one or two months at most a year, mainly for eating hot pot in winter.

once these kitchen utensils are damaged, they will not be added. Of course, everyone's living habits are different, and the use of kitchen utensils varies from person to person. Honey of a is arsenic of b. For example, an induction cooker is a good choice for a house without natural gas.

with too many kitchenware, the kitchen is bound to be crowded. It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and it is difficult for a clever woman to collect too many things. It is better to simplify things than to store them skillfully.

Try to buy kitchen utensils with single function as little as possible, and use one thing for multiple purposes. Completely idle kitchen utensils are decisively abandoned. When you buy new kitchen utensils, you should abandon the old kitchen utensils of the same kind and keep the same kitchen utensils. Fundamentally reduce the number of kitchen utensils.

reduce tableware. Use a favorite set of tableware and discard the extra ones. All the old dishes were used by me to grow flowers and serve as trays for flowerpots. You don't have to buy a whole set of tableware. You can choose your favorite bowls, plates and cups one by one and buy them as needed, which is also convenient for everyone to use items.

don't hoard condiments and disposable items. Buy a bottle after using up all kinds of condiments, and use up the existing stocks before buying. Disposable items, such as spoons, chopsticks, straws, paper plates and birthday candles for birthday cakes, were all thrown away. I don't take extra disposable goods when shopping.

don't hoard food. Refrigerated vegetables should not exceed 3 days and frozen food should not exceed 1 week. Buy it after eating.

there are few items on the kitchen countertop, especially small items. There are too many small items, which will be particularly messy. A wok, a rice cooker, a microwave oven, an electric kettle and a filter kettle are often placed on the countertop of my kitchen. These samples are used almost every day, and their volume is relatively large, so it is convenient to take them outside. Everything else is put into drawers and cabinets immediately after use. Since the bottles and jars of spices were put into the cabinet, the kitchen has become much cleaner and it is not much inconvenience to take them with you.

Less kitchenware, more kitchen space, less storage time, and more time and space for cooking.
