Little Secrets in the Kitchen

Many people today who decide to buy new kitchen components, like chef ovens, do so on a whim. Without a clear idea of what they are about, buyers often get stampeded by shrewd salesmen or advertising. They may get their new appliance home and suddenly realize that the product purchased does not match how they pictured it would fit with their kitchen style during the sale. These little secrets will prepare the careful consumer in making an informed choice.

The first secret is to plan ahead. As is usually the case, kitchen area is limited. Freedom of movement, ventilation, and the position of power outlets are key factors that need to be considered. The space available should be measured.
Kitchens tend to get hot and humid over time during cooking. Without air conditioning, the kitchen will become annoying to work in. Also, air conditioners prices and types vary so choosing one can be done after selecting the other components. Unless the kitchen is a really large one, no more than one or two horsepower is needed.  

The second secret is to research the products you are interested in. Once a list is made of the components, it is important to check user reviews and complaints about the product. Most kitchen sales sites have these, and the reputable ones, such as the one used in the examples, avoid tampering with these reviews. This will give an indication of how the product satisfied its user. Searching for complaints can be done using search engines. All that is needed is to input the product name and product code . 
Remedy secrets
 
We have all experienced some physical accidents in our kitchen, which need immediate assistance. Sometimes we have to suffer from them because we have very little self-rescue training ideas that can prevent injuries from worsening or help them heal faster. The following are some home remedy secrets I want to share with you.
Burns

For minor burns, I suggest applying a few drops of sesame oil to the affected area, sprinkling some salt on top of the oil. Leave it on for a few minutes. If you still experience a burning sensation, re-apply oil and salt mixture to the burn. This mixture stops the burning pain and helps decrease swelling to prevent blistering from occurring. For large, severe burns go to the emergency room.
Food Poisoning


Some food poisoning symptoms include nausea and vomiting. Mung Beans are very helpful in alleviating these symptoms. Cook 1 cup of mung beans in 6 cups of water for 30 minutes or grind 1/4 cup of mung beans and stir into 2-3 cups of distilled water then strain the tea and drink several times a day. If you have stomach pain or cramps, cook 10 slices of ginger root in 2 cups of water for 5 minutes then drink it all.
Common Cold

When you are exposed to a very cold environment or feel chills, to prevent from coming down with a cold, cook 5 slices of ginger and 2 whole, uncut stalks of green onions in 2 cups of water. Cover the pot and cook for 5 minutes on a medium flame. Drink tea hot and if possible, take a nap afterwards. Slight perspiration should be expected to disperse the cold.
Chronic Diarrhea for Children
Since adults bodies are much more complex than children, the following remedy is most effective for children. Simply stir fry 1 cup of dry, white rice in a skillet, stirring constantly until golden brown then add 6 cups of water and simmer for 30-40 minutes on low heat. Have children eat a small bowl of porridge daily for 2-3 days. For younger children, feed them the broth portion of this porridge only.
