Plating and fish boning tweezers are tweezers that ensure precision when de-boning fish and plating meals in professional kitchens, restaurants and cafes. Plating tweezers don’t bruise the stems of miniature herbs or edible flowers and petals due to their gentler tips than normal tweezers. Fish boning tweezers are flatter and wider than a normal tweezers ensuring you capture every fine bone.

Here i will share about care instructions for kitchen tweezers

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

• Stainless steel tweezers can withstand a lot: High temperatures, water, steel pots and pans, acidic ingredients, detergents, etc.
• Machine wash. Abrasives in dishwasher detergents may dull the steel surface, but this will not affect the tweezers’ function.
• Tweezers are a universal and very practical tool for all sorts of tasks, but don’t let them leave the kitchen. Don’t lift objects that are too heavy.
• Keep dry.

Kitchen scale 

Name of item              : kitchen scale

Function                      : to measure with ensure ingredients

Materials                     : aluminum and stainless steel or plastic

How to clean               : use dry napkin, don't splash it with water

A kitchen scale is a smart tool to ensure you measure accurately and achieve the same great results we enjoy in our Test Kitchens. Every so often, we field questions from readers who prepare one of our baking recipes and their results don't match ours. The culprit is often the flour.

Weighing scales are born of necessity. As trading developed during the Antiquity, merchants needed a way to assess the value of goods that could not simply be counted by the pieces, like irregular-shaped gold nuggets for instance. The most ancient relics of a weighing scale have been discovered in the Indus River valley, near present day’s Pakistan, and date back to around 2,000 B.C. Those first weighing scales were actually balances, using two plates attached to an overhead beam, itself fixed on a central pole. The measurement was taken by putting the object measured on one plate and weight-setting stones on the other, until equilibrium was reached.

This system can be very accurate, but it can also be easily cheated. Perhaps the most famous example of a rigged balance was the one used by Celt chieftain Brennus around 390 B.C. when he captured Rome and demanded a ransom of 1,000 pounds of gold. When the Romans complained about Brennus using fixed weights, Brennus famously threw his own sword on top of the weights and proclaimed “Woe to the vanquished!”

The weighing scale didn’t know any major technological improvements until the industrial era. It is only starting in the late 18th century that new ways to measure mass appeared that didn’t rely on counter-weights. The spring scale was invented by Richard Salter, a British balance maker around 1770. The spring scale, as the name implies, measures the pressure (or the tension) exerted on a spring to deduce the weight of an object. Spring scales are still fairly common today because they are very cheap to make, but they are not quite as accurate as the electronic systems designed and perfected during the 20^thcentury.

If it used to be used for measure things wheight org people wheight now, scale is also used to measure ingredients from kitchen.

Honey Dipper

Name of item              : honey dipper

Function                      : to help the honey get out from the jar

Material                       : wood

How to clean               : rinse with water and with dry napkin

Honey dipper is a kitchen utensil used to collect viscous liquid (generally honey) from a container, which it then exudes to another location. It is often made of turned wood. Besides the handle, the tool consists of equally-spaced concentric (coaxial) grooves.

The purpose of a honey dipper is to get honey out of a jar without making a sticky mess. The honey sticks in the groves of the dipper, so it won't drip the way it does when you use a spoon. Honey dippers aren't useful with squeezable honey bottles, only jars. Usually they're made of wood, but they can also be made of plastic or metal.

Here's how to use honey dipper:

Step 1

Open the jar of honey.

Step 2

Dip the honey dipper in the honey jar.

Step 3

Twist the honey dipper to coat it with honey on all sides.

Step 4

Pull the honey dipper out of the jar and twist it over whatever food you want the honey to go on. To put honey in tea, place the entire honey dipper in the hot tea.

Step 5

Wash the honey dipper either in the dishwasher or by hand.
