Pressure Cooker
Name of item :
Pressure Cooker
Function :
to cook food to tender more quickly
Materials :
metal or stainless steel
How to clean :
use liquid soap and clean water
A pressure cooker is a kitchen tool that works on a simple principle: Steam
pressure. A sealed pot, with a lot of steam inside, builds up high pressure,
which helps food cook faster.
the pressure cooker was invented in the 1600s by a Frenchman by Denis Papin, who wanted to translate new discoveries in physics about pressure and steam into cooking. He called his pot the "Digester" but it took quite a while before better manufacturing standards and technology could make these high pressure pots safe.
Here I share you how
does a pressure cooker work.
A pressure cooker is a sealed pot with a valve that controls the steam pressure inside. As the pot heats up, the liquid inside forms steam, which raises the pressure in the pot. This high pressure steam has two major effects:
A pressure cooker is a sealed pot with a valve that controls the steam pressure inside. As the pot heats up, the liquid inside forms steam, which raises the pressure in the pot. This high pressure steam has two major effects:
- Raises the boiling point of the water in the pot. When cooking something wet, like a stew or steamed vegetables, the heat of your cooking is limited to the boiling point of water (212°F). But with the steam's pressure now the boiling point can get as high as 250°F. This higher heat helps the food to cook faster.
- Raises the pressure, forcing liquid into the food. The high pressure also helps force liquid and moisture into the food quickly, which helps it cook faster and also helps certain foods, like tough meat, get very tender very quickly.
Flour Shifter
Name of item :
Flour Shifter
Function :
to strain flour from other particles even small bugs
Materials :
aluminum or plastic
How to clean :
use liquid soap and clean water and dry napkin
A flour sifter is a
kind of strainer with a fine mesh screen housed in a container that is used to
pass dry ingredients through to loosen the particles, incorporate air, and
lighten them. It is also used to combine several ingredients that are passed through at the same
time such as spices, sugar or fine grains.
If a recipe calls for presifted ingredients, sift first and then measure. If it calls for a certain amount of the ingredient, sifted, then measure first.
Sifting helps to break up clumps and remove foreign matter. It aerates flour and gives it more volume. It makes it easier to incorporate other foods and liquids into sifted powders.
Sifting flour is a way of
aerating your flour and making sure that there are no large lumps in it. Flour
is very finely milled and it is typically packed in small bags, where it gets
packed down easily. This is especially true of cake flour, which has an exceptionally
fine texture. Depending on the climate you live in, your flour might also
develop lumps due to very high humidity and it can even attract small bugs, and
sifting eliminates both of these problems. When a recipe calls for sifting
flour together with other ingredients – such as cocoa powder, leavening agents
or salt – it is to help disperse those ingredients into one mixture before
adding them to a recipe.
Parisienne Scoop
Name of item :
Parisienne Scoop
Function :
to scoop the fruits shaped like small ball
Materials :
aluminum
How to clean :
use liquid soap and clean water
Parisienne is a term that can refer to a tool used for scooping balls
of fruit or vegetables, or the balls themselves. They come in different sizes
and range from about 1 to 3 centimeters. They’re frequently used
to make pearls out of melon, potato, squash, etc.
To pearl
using a Parisienne scoop, press the circular end down into the fruit and rotate
in a downwards motion. If pearling tougher fruits, use your thumb for leverage.
Lift, and flick out your orb of fruit. If balling squash or other starchy
fruits or vegetables, it is handy to have a bain of water to give your scoop a
quick rinse every so often. This washes off the sticky starch for easier and
quicker pearling.
