Broiler Pan
Name of item : Broiler Pan
Function : Place for broiling food in a broiler
How to clean : Use liquid soap and clean water,
brush a little
Broiler pan also known as a broiler
roaster, oven roaster or oven broiling pan, this piece of cookware is used to
broil foods in the oven such as steaks, roasts, or various cuts of meat,
poultry and vegetables. Typically constructed of stainless steel or heavy gauge
steel with a black porcelain enamel, Broiler Pans consist of two sections, a
low walled pan section and an upper cooking surface that is the broiler plate
lid. The cooking surface or lid, which contains open slits and small holes,
holds the food as it broils while the pan below catches the drippings. Since
the lid has only minimal openings, it keeps the hot grease and drippings
contained within the pan so they don't flare up and burn the bottom of the food
as it broils. With cooking surfaces that generally range from 6 to 12 inches in
width and with 10 to 18 inches in length, the Broiler Pan can be sized to fit a
variety of ovens as well as a variety of different cooking tasks.
Garlic Press
Name of item : Garlic Press
Function : To help crushing garlic without
knife
How to clean : Use little brush and clean water
A tool used for pressing garlic
cloves through small holes to extract the pulp, oils, and juice from the
garlic. Some of the garlic pulp remaining on the press may dry quickly, so it
is important to clean the press immediately after using it to make cleaning
much easier. Most garlic presses are manufactured from aluminum, stainless
steel, or strong plastics.
Pressed garlic is much easier to
use and prepare when cooking. Pressed garlic is also said to unlock all of the
nutrients and health benefits of garlic. It is thought to be stronger and more flavorful than
mincing as well. Garlic crushed by
a press is generally believed to have a more robust flavor than minced garlic.
More of garlic's strong flavor compounds are liberated and mixed through the
pressing process. Some people prefer the flavor of pressed garlic.Raw-foods
chef Renée Underkoffler says "a good garlic press makes dealing with
garlic a pleasure." Pressed garlic has a lighter, more delicate flavor
than minced garlic because it excludes the bitter center stem.
If you want to press your garlic,
remove the husky dry cover from the outer part of the garlic cloves. Select
garlic that does not have any green shoots, and if it has them, remove them.
The size of your garlic will determine the number of garlic cloves you can
press at the same time. If it is a small press, then only put one garlic clove
in the press at a time. Place the press over a clean container for the garlic
to fall into. Press and hold the handles closely until the garlic comes out in
a paste.
Citrus Juicer
Name of item : Citrus Juicer
Function : To help squeeze the water from
citrus
How to clean : Use clean water and rinse it
A citrus juicer is
a kitchen tool specifically designed for removing the juice from citrus. Both hand
operated and electric versions are available, with many cooks preferring one or
the other, depending on how much citrus needs to be juiced. Most cooks can find
a use for a citrus juicer, making it an excellent tool to have
around the kitchen and a good gift as well. Most kitchen supply stores stock
citrus juicers, usually in a wide range of styles.
The most simple
type of citrus juicer is a citrus reamer.
A citrus reamer consists of a ridged cone attached to a handle. The consumer
cuts a piece of fruit in half and holds it in one hand while pressing the
conical part of the reamer against it to extract the juice. As a basic, easily
used kitchen tool, a citrus reamer makes a great juicer. As one can imagine,
using a citrus reamer for large volumes of juice can get tiring. A citrus
reamer also does not strain out pulp or seeds.
There are a wide variety of
automatic Juicers, also known as Juicing Machines, with numerous features to
consider. Typically, automatic juice extractors are categorized into
centrifugal juicers or masticating juicers. The centrifugal juicers are built
of stainless steel or plastic with round containers placed over a rotating
motor that drives the rotating blade. Molded into the circular shape is a food
chute that may be crescent or rectangular shaped. The typical horsepower (HP)
will range from 1/4 to 3/4 HP, providing from 3,600 to over 20,000 revolutions
per minute (RPM's). The higher RPM's of the centrifugal Juicers causes more
heat and more oxidation (foaming action) to the food being crushed, which
decreases the nutrients in the food. Some models allow for continuous juicing
so fruit and vegetables can be continually added to the machine without
shutting down to remove pulp from holding compartments or containers. The
Juicer produces good quality juice, which is often pulp free. It also produces
a good yield from the item being crushed.
