How to Design an Idyllic English Country Kitchen

January 24th, 2010 by admin

The eternally charming English countryside is the inspiration for a warm, cozy kitchen done in English country style. Imagine an English stonewall cottage with flower gardens outside the backdoor while reveling in the warmth of a cup of tea by the kitchen hearth, or imagine a more formal kitchen of a traditional English country estate full of natural materials like cherry wood, marble and stainless steel. Either way, comfort, warmth and a welcoming ambiance are the order of the day.

Start by Choosing Soft, Warm Colors
Base your color palette on hues found in a quintessential English country garden. Buttery yellow, lavender and rose, pale greens and blues are colors that can accent a creamy neutral wall color or warmer wall tones with undertones of red or yellow. Or use faux painting techniques to create the illusion of stone or old plaster.

Add Cabinetry in Wood Finishes
Wood is the mainstay of English country kitchens featured in plain, flat paneled cabinet doors with simple, sturdy designs. Wood may be white washed or pickled to create a well-loved, well-worn appearance and hardware may be made of hammered metal or ceramic. Gleaming cherry wood is a traditional choice for countertops that offers a warm appealing radiance to the kitchen Intermixed in a wooden counter-top, you may find a section of cooled marble for rolling out pastry dough and in a large English country kitchen that serves an estate or country house, stainless steel countertops may dominate the prep and cleanup areas with a deep stainless steel sink. A cottage country kitchen is more likely to feature a porcelain apron style farm sink.

Weathered, Rustic and Comfortable
Cozy, homey appointments are standard in every English country kitchen, whether tucked into a hillside cottage or a grand estate. Even in a formal English country home, the kitchen will feature a large table and rush seat chairs with comfortable cushions for the kitchen staff or children of the home. A rustic beamed ceiling or stone fireplace is an authentic touch, and if your kitchen does not have these features, add features to complement the romantic cottage ambiance. An old mantel from an antique store can be mounted against a wall and a small electric fireplace designed to mimic an antique iron stove can be set beneath it; top the stove with a brass tea kettle and cheery checkered tea towels. An old china hutch can be set in a corner to give the illusion of built-in display. Use area rugs, curtains, patchwork or woolen throws, pillows and cushions, earthenware pitchers and old tea sets for realistic detail. Take care to keep things eclectic and not too matchy-matchy or pristine: comingle big floral prints with chintz, chenille, plaids and tweeds. A pot rack above the stove or sink can display an array of copper pots, iron skillets, brass pitchers and baskets.

Layer other accents for interest on every wall. Open plate racks with blue and white English china are apropos, as are bunches of herbs hung in the windows and fresh flowers gathered in an old vase or sugar bowl. Add wall art with antique appeal, such as old dishes and plates, silver trays, and old paintings with English country motifs. Accent the counter-tops with ceramic jars or clear glass apothecary jars stocked with treats and pantry staples, and of course, tea pots, tea cups, lemons, sugar bowls and creamers must be part of the mix.

Cleaning Tips for your Kitchen

January 12th, 2010 by admin

- To rid the yellowing from white appliances: Mix together 1/2 cup bleach, 1/4 cup baking soda and 4 cups of warm water. Apply with a sponge and let set for 10-15 minutes. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

- To clean a greasy blender: Fill with a little hot water and add a drop of detergent. Cover and turn it on for a few seconds. Rinse and drain dry.

- To rid cutting boards of onion, garlic or fish smell, cut a lime in two and rub the surface of the board. You can also apply a paste of baking soda and water and rinse.

- To clean copper and brassware, dip lemon halves in salt and rub. A solution of vinegar and salt sprayed liberally will also do the trick.

- For a fast and thorough clean-up of the grater, use a toothbrush to brush lemon rind, cheese, onion or whatever out of the grater before washing it.

- Before washing a meat grinder, run a slice of bread through it.

- To open a clogged drain: either use a couple of denture tablets, or pour a cup of salt and a cup of baking soda into the drain followed by a kettle of boiling water. The grease will usually dissolve and open the drain.

- Following a spill in an oven or on a stove, sprinkle with salt immediately. When oven is cool brush off burnt food and wipe with a damp sponge or cloth.

- Burners of gas stoves can be cleaned by soaking them in a solution of warm water mixed with ammonia. Use a wire brush to clean the burner holes. Rinse and dry.

- Coffee or tea stains from plastic cups can be scoured out by rubbing with baking soda. Rinse and dry.

- To rid plastic containers of foul smell, place crumpled newspaper (black and white only) into it.

- Cover tightly and leave overnight. Wash and dry in the normal way.

- To prevent mildew from forming in a refrigerator, wipe with a cloth dipped in vinegar. The acid effectively kills the mildew fungus.

- After the freezer has been defrosted, coat the inside with glycerine. The next time you defrost, the ice will loosen quickly and drop off in sheets.

- To help eliminate odours in the refrigerator, fill a small bowl with charcoal and place it on a shelf in the fridge. It absorbs odours rapidly. An open box of baking soda will also absorb odours from the refrigerator for at least a month or two.

- For a sparkling white kitchen sink, place paper towels across the bottom of your sink and saturate with household bleach. Leave for an hour or so. Scrub and rinse.

- Spots on stainless steel sinks can be removed with methylated spirit or with white vinegar. Club soda can also shine up your sink in minutes.

- To renew and freshen a cleaning sponge, soak overnight in salt or baking soda water. Wash out in the morning.

- To remove lime deposits from a tea kettle, fill with equal parts of vinegar and water. Bring to a boil and allow to stand overnight.

- To keep a thermos flask free of foul odours while storing, wash with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry well in the sun if possible. Place a tablespoon of sugar granules in it and store.

- To remove rust from tin pie pans, dip a raw potato in cleaning powder and scrub.

- To eliminate strong or pungent odours from a microwave, heat four tablespoons of vanilla for a minute in the microwave and leave overnight.

- To remove the smell of burnt food from a pan, simmer a few slices of lemon in water in it.

- If a cup of coffee is placed in the refrigerator, it helps in keeping the fridge smelling fresh.

- To avoid strong smells of fish, garlic etc from filling up your home, place white vinegar in a small bowl next to the stove while cooking.

- To clean and freshen dusty artificial flowers, put them in a paper bag with a handful of salt and shake well. The flowers will look as good as new.

French press Coffeemakers to Consider

January 8th, 2010 by admin

Coffeemakers that are all about flavor are the French press coffee makers. This is the belief of many coffee connoisseurs. They believe that the best way to make a pot of coffee is by a French press model of coffee maker. A fine screen, usually of nylon or steel mesh, is pressed down on the coffee grounds after they have steeped directly in hot water.

French press coffee makers come in non-electrical and electrical models. The electrical model allows you to boil and brew your coffee (or tea) all in one carafe. A solid state heating element boils the water in just 4 minutes, faster than on a stove or in a microwave, and will automatically shut off once the water reaches a full boil. The brew cycle is shorter than most conventional coffee makers thanks to the unit’s ability to brew at the optimum temperature of 195 -205 degrees Fahrenheit, resulting in superb flavor and aroma. The ingenious German-made Cordless Electric French Press brews this way and comes with a boil-dry alert, safe Lid Lock system for easy pouring, heat-resistant glass carafe, easy-to-clean stainless filters and an extra lid for use as a hot pot. This Chef’s Choice Electric Cordless French Press coffee maker has an 8 cup capacity and the cord stores in the base.

The non-electrical French Press coffee makers usually use a fine screen to press down on the coffee grounds after they have steeped directly in hot water. An electric tea kettle is a fast and convenient way to have the right water temperature. After the water comes to a boil, wait one minute and the water should be between 195 and 205 degrees, again, just the right temperature for the best flavor and aroma. The grind of the coffee cannot be forgotten here. Remember, whole coffee beans that you grind yourself give you the freshest ground coffee all of the time. The grind of the beans needs to be a much coarser grind so that it won’t clog the filter of the French press plunger.

 French Press coffee makers come in different brands. The Bodum is the most popular. It makes the most French Press coffee makers and was the first company to make French press coffee makers. There glass beakers are temperature safe borosilicate glass or polycarbonate with stainless steel. There Columbian French Press is a double-walled stainless steel thermo press. This means it is a thermally insulated pot so the coffee you make will stay hot for up to 2 hours. This feature makes this a durable and practical coffeemaker that is great for small group settings at home or at an office. Other brands include the BonJour, which offers a selection of 9 French Press coffeemakers. Many of BonJour’s French press coffee makers have a secondary filter on the lid that further filters the grounds from the coffee. Some of them are made of glass and others are metal. The Trudeau Chrome Coffee Press 17 oz. will join the 34 oz. size in late November; both use stainless steel filters. All French press coffeemakers come in various serving sizes from a 3 cup to12 cup size; remember a cup is between 4-6 ounces. Bodum also offers French press coffee maker travel mugs.

Stainless Steel Tea Kettles Make a Great Gift Idea

January 5th, 2010 by admin

You want something really special when it comes to giving a gift, no matter if it is for a birthday or a wedding. Great gift ideas are stainless steel tea kettles. The electric kind are especially nice, as they are really convenient to use. Not only can they easily be used at home, they are also great for traveling. As long as you have access to an electrical outlet, you have the means for a cup of tea or cocoa.

Many Options and Lots of Convenience

There are a number of options available for stainless steel tea kettles. These come in a variety of sizes, shapes, colors, and patterns. Some come with a whistle, while other are a little quieter.

You can take your stainless steel tea kettle virtually anywhere: the office, home, kitchen, bedroom, and even an RV. No matter where you would like to use the electric version, as long as you have electricity, you are ready.

Keep the Outside Beautiful

One of the most common problems with a traditional kettle is that the outside can often be covered in dirt, grime, and grease. This is due to all the cooking on the stove and the fact that most people leave it sitting on a burner. This grease can often become very difficult to clean and it makes the outside lose its luster and shine. The nice part about one of the electric versions is that you do not have to keep it anywhere near the stove. If there is one kitchen appliance that you need to have, it is this type of tea kettle.

Safety Always

Some people attempt to boil water in a pot or pan. This can be very dangerous when you start pouring into a cup. The water often drips down the side or splashed heavily into the cup. This can quickly result in burns, for either you or your guests. Electric tea kettles are designed to safely allow you to pour the water without being burned.

In Closing

When it comes to boiling water for tea or coffee, your best bet are stainless steel tea kettles. It just makes sense to use an appliance that is specifically designed to do the job, without increasing the risk of getting hurt. If you are looking for a fantastic gift idea, then you really need to consider one of these useful items! The recipient will be very glad you did!

Finally, one place for all the information you need on stainless steel tea kettles, as well as others, such as whistling tea kettles, or even a yellow, blue or pink tea kettle. Take a few moments and look all the latest models and information .

Precautions When Using a Steam Shower

January 5th, 2010 by admin

‘Safety first’. As with most things, when not used correctly or abused a steam shower can cause harm. This article will touch on a number of different ways to stay safe when using a steam shower.

Steam Shower Precaution 1: Acclimatisation

When using a steam shower for the first time it is important to ease into the routine, not attempting to reach high temperatures immediately. First timers may have the inclination to stay in the steam shower for a long time as the experience is exciting and exhilarating, however, it is wise not to push the body too hard, therefore start off slowly.

Stay in the steam shower until your body tells you it’s time to stop. Listen to your body and don’t force it to stay in the steam shower longer than it feels comfortable. Everyone’s body is different: Therefore, it is hard to give one generic temperature that people can stay in the steam shower until. One can usually recognize when the body has had enough as you will start to feel uncomfortable. When this is the case, turn the steam function off and exit the steam shower. On your next steam shower session, follow the same procedure and listen to your body. Over time, as your body becomes acclimatized to the hot humid temperatures, you may be able to stay in the steam shower for longer and may be able to sustain higher temperatures.

Steam Shower Precaution 2: Food

While taking a steam shower it’s important not to bathe on an empty or a full stomach. On an empty stomach blood sugars may drop, causing the body to feel faint and weak. On the other hand it is important not to use a steam shower on a full stomach as blood, oxygen and water, which is used in cooling the body, is being used to digest the food. It is best to eat a light snack before using a steam shower.

Steam Shower Precaution 3: Hydration

The main effect a steam shower has on the body is to make it sweat. Sweating lowers the body’s water level, therefore it is critical to ensure one is well hydrated before and after a steam shower session. A deficiency in water can results in headaches and other problems. Prevent any problems and drink plenty of water before and after a steam shower session.

Steam Shower Precaution 4: Metal Jewellery, Contact Lenses

Temperatures in a steam shower can reach 44°C and above. These temperatures can cause metal jewellery to heat up and potentially burn the skin. Therefore, it is advised not to wear metal jewellery while using a steam shower. Contact lenses can also irritate the eyes while in the steam shower, therefore it is recommended to take them out before a steam session.

Steam Shower Precaution 5: Slipping

As with all showers and baths, it is possible to slip in a steam shower. Be careful when stepping in and out of the steam shower to avoid slipping.

Steam Shower Precaution 6: Rest

It’s important not to use a steam shower when your body is exhausted. A tired body cannot cope with the high temperatures of a steam shower as efficiently as a body that has a lot of energy. Ensure one is rested before using a steam shower.

Steam Shower Precaution 7: Fainting – Stand up slowly

Standing up to quickly and feeling faint has probably happened to most people at some time or another. It is especially important not to stand up too quickly in a steam shower as it may cause you to feel faint. Standing up quickly causes blood to drain from the head, which causes a faint feeling, or even causing the body to faint.

Steam Shower Precaution 8: Steam Outlet

The steam outlet on the steam shower is similar to a kettle in many ways. Water is boiled and is deposited into the steam shower through the steam generator. Steam is hotter than boiling water, therefore it is important to avoid contact with the steam outlet or be in close proximity to it while the steam function is operating.

“the Steam Kettle Rocket”

December 18th, 2009 by admin

Paying attention to simple techniques in physics in using simple ideas, such as the steam engine we could venture further into outer regions of our Universe without difficulties. Water tanks made of thick heavy-duty titanium steel that would withstand enormous pressure, attaché nozzles to them, filed them up with water to the ream of the nozzle, and freeze it. Attaché a control valve at the end of each nozzle to control the released heated pressure once heat is applied.

Take these tanks attach them, to rockets sent into space and stored them at the International Space Station for future use. Keeping them in orbit around the Earth, you could use them as the propellant fuel for travel to Mars and beyond.

These tanks attached to a spacecraft and properly controling the releasing of the steam pressure will control the speed of the spacecraft while in flight. Once the spacecraft is in motion in space it will continue its journey until stopped. In a trip to Mars, the tanks could be refill with water found in the planet, preferably sea water or salty water,freezing it to use on the return trip to Earth.

In theory, a cluster of these tanks filed with frozen water could remain in orbit attaché to the space station for future strips to the outer regions in space. Use of these tanks could be an inexpensive means of propellant fuel for future space travel.

The next step would be a simple matter of getting the Astronauts and a spacecraft like our space shuttle out in orbit. Attaching these tanks as a means of propellant to the space shuttle and in theory could propel the space shuttle on a journey to any region in space. This propellant could replace the dangerous and expensive ones used today.

During my research while conducting my experiments, I made several small workable samples of a steams engine. The first one was a small steam kettle where I attached a small gage to give me readings of the pressure inside the kettle. I then attached a small variable control valve at the end of the nozzle. I filled the kettle with water and placed it in the freezer overnight.

The following day I connected the kettle with the frozen water to a roller skate with four little wheels. I then began applying heat to the kettle with a burning torch. Watching the gage for the proper reading, when I saw the kettle starting to shake and to inflate like a balloon. Afraid that it was going to blow up I stopped applying heat.

I then carefully started opening slowly the valves. As I did, the kettle began to move in the opposite direction from where the steam was escaping. The more I opened the valve the faster the kettle moved forward. Showing the same principle would workto a spacecraft in space.

The second experiment I did the same, but with one exception I made the kettle much stronger able to withstand more pressure. In doing so I got the same results as the first but much more potent in pressure. The gage read a greater pressure double the pressure from the first.

In converting, the frozen water into steam the first kettle almost began to break apart, while the second held tight with no signs of stress in being stronger and thicker.

Further experiment showed that when using water with a high concentration of salt caused the water to boil hotter with more pressure. Seawater can be used and it is in great abundance through out the World. More likely also in other planets as well;

This experimen showed space travel to be less expensive,reliable, and feasible in reducing the time of getting spacecraft into further regions of the Universe.
