Learning to Care for Kitchen Utensils

The practice of cooking is a task that requires tools just like any activity, whether at work or at home. Thus, we use utensils such as pots, spoons, forks, spatulas, measuring cups, etc. The list of kitchen utensils is very vast, and the use we give them should be rewarded with good care so that they last longer and continue helping us in the preparation of delicious recipes. Moreover, good maintenance or care of these utensils will allow food to be cooked perfectly; for that, we leave you with these brief tips: After using your kitchen utensils, wash them with hot water to prevent grime from sticking, and wash them as indicated in the instructions. When using your kitchen utensils for the first time, follow the instructions. Dirty dishes and utensils should be placed in the sink; it’s better to wash them quickly so grime doesn’t stick, and you won’t have to work twice as hard to clean them later. Before storing your plastic or metal dishes, check that they are not damp and dry them if necessary. Be careful when washing glass utensils, only use a sponge to avoid scratches. After washing glass items, drain them and store them. If you need to dry them, ensure you do not use a cotton cloth. Just as you must be very careful and clean with your dishes, you should also be with your stove, blender, toaster, refrigerator, and microwave oven; keep them always spotless. You must take care of the maintenance of the water and gas pipes in your kitchen. Keep all the conduits, both supply and waste, unclogged and clean in your kitchen and throughout your house. Ensure there are no leaks in the piping systems to avoid moisture in the walls, floors, and surfaces of your kitchen and home in general.
