Three Aspects of kitchenware You Should Consider

Choosing the appropriate kitchenware is crucial in commercial kitchens. After all, everyone's health and safety are a concern in the kitchen. However, it is usual for kitchen equipment on the market to have tricks, and many people are unsure of which product to select. Manufacturers of kitchen appliances are present today to inform friends about their options.   Performance is directly proportional to the price You usually pay attention to whether the technical indicators match those specified on the nameplate and whether they can suit your requirements when selecting commercial kitchen equipment. In fact, the length of the indicator should be evaluated in addition to these. Speaking of very good indicators, investing a lot of money to replace kitchen appliances would result in subpar longevity after 1.5 years. This is a loss, right? Only when performance and price are inversely proportionate is it a wise decision. Cost is considered in many aspects Most of us take into account the cost of kitchen equipment that is not included when calculating costs. There are numerous areas of cost that need to be taken into account, but in general, you can think about freight, equipment expenses, installation costs, insurance/packaging costs, maintenance costs, operational costs, etc. Hygiene and safety are guaranteed In addition to functionality and cost, significant factors to consider include safety, hygiene, and the choice of kitchen appliances. The user of commercial kitchen equipment should think about how safely they can use it before utilizing it. Of course, safety precautions like automated power-off, automatic shutdown, automatic alert, and grounding wire must be installed in order to prevent various accidents. In hotels, hospitals, and even schools, people come and go, so hygiene is obviously a concern. The consequences of a health accident are uncertain. Consequently, you must take the equipment's substance into account while selecting it for your kitchen. For instance, the inner wall of cookware is composed of stainless steel and cannot be galvanized or brushed onto the equipment. Cookware is also built of materials that do not promote the movement of harmful substances.   Visit James. F Kitchenware to buy or customize your knives!

5 Common Kitchen Knives

You need a variety of kitchen knives in your collection no matter how you slice it. To make meals easier, we examine five common options—paring, santoku, serrated utility, bread knife, and chef's knife—and explain when to use each of them.   The Importance of Knowing about Every Knife Knives all have one thing in common, even though they are made for diverse jobs: They should feel like an extension of your hand. Check out several knives to determine whether you like the length, weight, and handle. Because the best knife is the one you'll use, comfort is essential. If you find your bladed bestie, make a commitment to keep it sharp. Due to the fact that it demands less effort from you, preparation work is safer. Cutting with a forceful motion can cause the knife's blade to slip and injure you. Let the blade do the work; this is the whole point of the knife.   Serrated Utility Knife The serrated utility knife is a type of knife that has a blade with teeth, or serrations, on the edge. These teeth are designed to cut through tough materials such as rope, wire, and plastic. The serrated edge also makes it easier to cut through foods like tomatoes and bread.     A Paring Knife  A paring knife is used for a variety of tasks, including peeling and coring fruit, trimming fat from meat, and cutting small vegetables. Paring knives are distinguished from other types of knives because they are shorter and thinner than most other knives. Paring knives are typically used in the kitchen to perform small tasks such as peeling an apple or trimming fat from meat. They can also be used to cut small vegetables like carrots or potatoes. It is not recommended that you use a paring knife for large tasks like cutting through a whole chicken or carving a turkey. For these types of tasks, it is best to use a chef's knife.     Santoku A santoku knife is a Japanese kitchen knife that has a rectangular blade with a flat edge and beveled sides. It differs from the traditional Western chef's knife by its straighter edge and slimmer profile. The Santoku is typically used for chopping vegetables, but can also be used for slicing meat or fish, making it an all-purpose kitchen tool. The name "Santoku" means "three virtues" in Japanese, which refers to the three tasks this kind of blade performs well: slicing, dicing, and mincing.     Bread Knife A bread knife is a kitchen knife used to slice through bread. They come in different sizes and shapes, with some being serrated and others not. Some are even designed specifically for bagels. A bread knife is a versatile tool that can be used for more than just cutting bread. It can also be used for slicing tomatoes, cutting up cooked poultry, and even cutting pizza or cakes.     Chef's Knife A chef's knife is typically the first knife that a cook should buy. It has a wide blade that is ideal for slicing and dicing vegetables and fruits. Chef's knives are generally used for cutting meat, fish, and vegetables. They are also used for mincing garlic or herbs, chopping onions, cutting through the backbone of a chicken or fish to separate the fillets, peeling fruit or vegetables with a downward motion using the tip of the blade, and crushing whole spices by pressing them against a cutting board with the flat side of the blade. Chef's knives are usually made from stainless steel with carbon steel blades that can be sharpened on both sides (a "double-beveled" edge). The handles can vary in shape depending on preference but are usually made from wood or plastic.     Visit James. F Kitchenware to buy or customize your knives!

Fine Bowls and Dishes from the Collection of Dr Wou Kiuan

Fine Bowls and Dishes from the Collection of Dr Wou Kiuan

The collection of Dr. Wu Kiuan (1910-1997) covers nearly four millennia of Chinese art and culture, from the utilitarian wares of the first Neolithic culture in the Yellow River basin to the imperial porcelain treasures of China's last imperial dynasty. Dr. Wu's collection is extensive, setting him apart from other private pools of Chinese art that were integrated in the mid-twentieth century. His collection is one of the last of the most important collections of Chinese art in Europe today. Here we've chosen some fine bowls and dishes from this collector's treasure list, stepping onto the journey of Chinese culture.   A Yellow-glazed Chrysanthemum' Dish, Mark and Period of Yongzheng  the base with a six-character reign mark within a double circle in underglaze blue Diameter :17.7 cm, 7 in. This dish is well-potted, with narrow fluted edges, and even pointed points that resemble the petals of a chrysanthemum flower. It is a member of an elite class of Yongzheng period porcelain (1723-1735). It is known that the Yongzheng Emperor ordered forty pieces of each color of chrysanthemum dishes from Nian Xiyao, the supervisor of the imperial kilns at Jingdezhen. The development of chrysanthemum-shaped porcelain wares during the Yongzheng period is discussed by Hajni Elias in "In the path of Tao Qian: "Chrysanthemum" wares of the Yongzheng emperor," Arts of Asia, May-June 2015, pp. 72–85. She hypothesizes that these items may reveal the Emperor's admiration for Tao Qian, one of China's poets(365-427). He is renowned for leading a pastoral lifestyle and for having written the so-called "farmstead poetry" (tianyuan shi), which was influenced by his chrysanthemum garden as well as by the natural landscape and pastoral scenes. He was a scholar-official who retired to his hometown of Chaisang, present-day Jiujiang in Jiangxi Province. These ideas were especially pertinent to the Yongzheng Emperor, who supported labor and agriculture.   A Rare Famille-rose 'Hibiscus' Dish, Seal Mark and Period of Qianlong inscribed on the base with a six-character seal mark in underglaze blue Diameter 13.7 cm, 5⅜ in. This dish is the product of a painterly style that gained popularity during the Kangxi dynasty (r. 1662–1722) and was developed during the Yongzheng (r. 1723–1735) and Qianlong (r. 1736–1795) emperors. It is delicately painted in vivid enamels on a background of spotless white porcelain. The pink hibiscus flowers on this plate quickly catch the eye because of how freely they bend and twist, as though they were being stirred by a light breeze. This dish is the product of a painterly style that gained popularity during the Kangxi dynasty (r. 1662–1722) and was developed during the Yongzheng (r. 1723–1735) and Qianlong (r. 1736–1795) emperors.

The pink hibiscus flowers on this plate quickly catch the eye because of how freely they bend and twist, as though a light breeze was stirring them.   A Rare Coral-ground Famille-verte 'Floral' Bowl, Yuzhi Mark and Period of Yongzheng   the base with a four-character yuzhi mark within a double square in underglaze blue Diameter 14.6 cm, 5¾ in. This bowl is an exceptionally uncommon and unique specimen in a well-known category of goods. Yongzheng nian zhi, six-character Yongzheng markings, and Qianlong seal marks are used to identify bowls with this sort of elaborate flower decoration on a coral-red background produced in the late Kangxi and early Yongzheng dynasty and resurrected during that period. The phrase "made to imperial order," or "yu zhi," is used instead of the more generic "produced during the period of," or "nian zhi," and it is consistent with the method of marking used at the imperial enameling workshops in Beijing, which affixed yu zhi marks in enamel colors.   A Rare Large Famille-rose 'Chrysanthemum and Butterfly' Dish, Mark and Period of Yongzheng  the base with a six-character reign mark in underglaze blue within a double circle Diameter 51 cm, 20¼ in. This big charger showcases the unique enamel patterns used during the reign of the Yongzheng Emperor. It is exquisitely painted with pink, crimson, and yellow chrysanthemum flowers in bloom growing beside bamboo and with butterflies in flight above. The term "changzha" (literally, "long branch"), a homophone of the phrase "Eternal Governance," refers to a group of large Yongzheng period dishes, each brilliantly painted with a distinctive asymmetrical arrangement of flowering or fruiting branches rising from the foot and continuing over the rim onto the interior. The artistic aesthetic of Yongzheng period porcelain changzha dishes is noteworthy. Chrysanthemum blooms are painted in the manner of one of China's most renowned painters, Yun Shouping (1633-1690), one of the early Qing era's "Six Masters." Flowers painted in the mogu, or "boneless," manner, which emphasizes washes rather than lines, are often linked with Yun's distinctive painting technique. Yun's paintings were copied on porcelain as a result of the Yongzheng Emperor's admiration for his art, resulting in beautiful and bright floral motifs.   Visit James.

Release of 'Midnights'

Make Chai Cookies to Celebrate the Release of 'Midnights'

We interrupt your marathon listening of Midnights, Taylor Swift lovers, with a special message from the Swift universe. A Swift recipe from a few years ago has reappeared, and the entire internet is turning on their ovens and pulling out their stand mixers. There's something about this season that we connect with Taylor Swift—from cardigans to the crisp autumn air—and now she's given us another reason to enjoy a Taylor Swift Fall with these Chai Cookies with Eggnog Frosting. Should you create these cookies to keep up with the fad? Evidently, but here's why.   How to Make Taylor Swift's Chai Cookies When Taylor initially shared these treats on Instagram in 2009, it looked like this:   After fans pleaded for the recipe, Swift reportedly responded in a blog post stating there are two ways to make these cookies, according to a since-deleted Tumblr post. Here are the steps according to what Taylor has written: Make sugar cookies from a sugar cookie mix Cut open a packet of chai tea and pour it into the batter as you make it Bake the cookies after preparing the batter. (With the delightful aroma of autumnal chai spice in the air, your home will smell better than any Yankee Candle has ever been able to.) Add eggnog to cookies. The more eggnog you add to cookies, the more your icing will be a glaze. According to Taylor, eggnog glaze is the secret to distinguishing her cookies from the rest. Do remember to follow this important tip when making your own cookies at home. That's all. You can prepare these cookies with just a few staple ingredients in about the same amount of time as it takes to listen to one episode of Midnights. You have no justification for not baking these cookies this weekend, so come out of your lavender trance, stop playing the villain, and bake these cookies before the beach is covered in snow.

Essential Tools for Every Cook

Know a new college graduate who is beginning their independent life, perhaps in their first proper apartment? Or a newcomer from a distant country who must assemble a brand-new kitchen from scratch? Or perhaps a friend who has just developed a passion for cooking but lacks the necessary equipment? The products in this list are ideal for novice cooks in one manner or another. It is separated into two parts: The first outlines the items we believe to be absolutely necessary—no excess, no frills, and nothing that won't be utilized repeatedly for years to come. The second list includes a few things that, while not strictly necessary, will make cooking a lot simpler.   The Must-Haves A Chef's Knife A chef's knife is a type of kitchen knife used for slicing, chopping, and mincing vegetables and other food ingredients. It typically has a wide blade that tapers to a point. Chefs usually use this type of knife to perform many different tasks because it is the most versatile. These knives are designed to be long and thin with an acute point so they can cut through things like bones or fish heads with ease. The blade of the chef's knife can also be curved in order to make it easier to access difficult-to-reach spots such as the middle of squash or large fruits like pineapple. A Serrated Knife Although a chef's knife is more useful and necessary, a nice serrated knife, often known as a bread knife, is difficult to replace: Its saw-toothed blade is the best at slicing through the tender crumb of fresh bread or the skin of a ripe tomato.   A Cutting Board A lot of people are reluctant to buy a wooden cutting board because they think it will be difficult to clean. But the reality is that you can use soap and water to clean the board, and then dry it with a cloth. There is nothing improper with investing in a stylish and expensive wooden cutting board. It's not just for decoration, but also for practical reasons such as preventing damage from knives or other sharp kitchen utensils.   A Nonstick Skillet A nonstick skillet is a frying pan with an interior surface that does not allow food to stick to it. The coating on the inside of the pan is made of silicone or another material that has been applied in such a way as to make it easy for food to slide off when it's ready. Nonstick pans are typically coated with Teflon and are popular because they are easy to clean, durable, and safe for use with metal utensils.   An Enameled Dutch Oven The best pot for slow braises and soups is an enamel-coated cast iron Dutch oven, like these short ribs with Chinese spices. The hefty cover and thick walls of the pot make it perfect for low-and-slow heat transfer in the oven, making stews and pot roasts more tender and juicy with less evaporation.   Rimmed Baking Sheets and Wire Racks The best baking sheets for cookies, cakes, and other delicate items are made of silicone because it is non-stick and will not warp when heated. Silicone is also a good material for baking sheets because it can withstand high temperatures without breaking. Wire racks, which are usually made out of metal, have a lot more benefits than rimmed baking sheets do because they allow heat to circulate around food more evenly so it cooks faster and more thoroughly than any other type of pan would be able to.    Sturdy Tongs We investigated the top tongs because a well-made set of tongs functions as a heatproof extension of your own fingers. These OXO stainless steel locking tongs are the gold standard in quality thanks to their sturdy design, slip-resistant grips (ever try to hold onto a pair of stainless-steel-only tongs with greasy fingers? ), and scalloped edges ideal for picking up the largest bone-in pork roast or the most tender spring asparagus stalks.   A Slotted Fish Spatula Every professional chef has a fish spatula in their knife kit because it's one of the most important (and fortunately affordable) kitchen tools. It's flexible enough to flip delicate pieces of fish without breaking them and sturdy enough to scrape a smashed burger off the bottom of your pan without missing a morsel. Additionally, it works wonders for wiping extra grease from cooked steaks and chops: No need to take the meat off the spatula first; just take it out of the skillet, pat it dry with a paper towel, and place it right on the serving plate. Grease can easily drain off the spatula thanks to its broad grooves.

Declutter Your Kitchen

Ideas to Declutter Your Kitchen

I hate to confess it, but I'm one of those people that wait until the last minute to clean the kitchen. So I want those tasks to be as simple as possible when I eventually get around to doing them. Fortunately, there are a ton of useful tools out there that make cleaning up quick and easy, so I can quickly put things away and still wake up to a spotless home. See my go-to advice and must-have things in the sections below to get the job done in every nook and cranny of your own kitchen.   Divide and Conquer Your Plastic Containers You can get rid of your plastic containers by dividing them into different categories. This way, you will be able to declutter your kitchen in no time. You can divide your storage containers into food storage and non-food storage. Food storage includes things like cereal boxes, cereal bags, pasta boxes, pasta bags, and many more. Non-food storage includes things like Tupperware, zip-lock bags, and many more. Put Your Essentials Front and Center The most important thing to do is to keep them in one place. This way, you will not have to spend time searching for them every time and you will be able to find them easily. You should also make sure that you have enough of each item so that you don't run out at the wrong time. Streamline Your Plastic Bags The first step is to designate a place in the kitchen for your bag. You can use a drawer, shelf, or any other storage space. The next step is to categorize your plastic bags into three groups: recycling, trash, and storage/reuse. This will help you keep your kitchen as organized as possible. Clean Out Your Fridge and Add Clear Bins The fridge is one of the most important parts of your kitchen because it stores everything from milk to leftovers, and all of these things can go bad if they're not stored properly. The first step in keeping your fridge clean is emptying it out completely! Get rid of all the old food that you don't want, and get rid of any containers that are broken or stained. Next, line up all the bins you have and pick a place for each type of food. For example, put vegetables in one bin, meat in another bin, dairy products in another bin, etc.   Install Wire Racks Wire racks are an excellent way to save space in your kitchen. They can be installed on the wall or on the floor, depending on your needs and preferences. Wire racks are a great solution for those who don't have a lot of cabinet space. They can be installed on the floor or mounted to the wall depending on your needs and preferences. Declutter Your Utensil Drawer This is a simple task that you can do to make your kitchen feel cleaner and more organized. Start by taking everything out of your utensil drawer and sorting it into categories. Throw away any broken or unused items, as well as anything you don't use often. Once you have sorted the items into categories, place them in the appropriate spot in the kitchen so they are easy to find when needed.   Ditch The Traditional Knife Block Knife blocks are a great way to store your knives, but they can also be a hazard. A knife block is typically made of wood or stainless steel and can hold anywhere from two to ten knives. The problem with these blocks is that they are not very stable and can easily topple over if the weight of the knives is not distributed evenly. This makes them dangerous items in the kitchen as they could easily fall on someone’s toes or hands. Opt for Open Shelving Open shelving is a design trend that has been around for a few years now. It is becoming more popular as people are realizing its benefits. The following are some of the benefits of open shelving: It helps to declutter your space, which can be helpful if you’re living in a small apartment or house. It can make your room feel larger by giving off a sense of openness and removing obstructions from your sightline. You can easily see what you have and how much you have, which makes it easier to find things when you need them. You can display delicate glassware, cookbooks, plants, and even artwork on floating shelves.    Stow Large Appliances To free up counter space, keep appliances in deep drawers or pull-out shelves. You may pick the appropriate tool for the job much more quickly by setting them up vertically, as seen in this image. While helpful, labels are not required. Aren't your kitchen drawers deep blessed? Blenders and other tall equipment can be disassembled to neatly fit in smaller places. Create a Kid-Friendly Cabinet Also, set aside a location in a lower cabinet for stackable food storage containers, plastic cups, and lunch boxes. It is simpler to get everyone out the door in the morning when similar items are kept together. Plus, it's a win-win for everyone because kids will always know where to store their school lunch supplies at the end of the day.

Chinese Bowls

Chinese Bowls in Different Periods

 From baking to steaming to cooking in oil, the Chinese way of eating has evolved, and the porcelain that partnered with it has developed, eventually forming the unique Chinese porcelain and Chinese food culture. Today we will start with the most common bowls and see what kind of bowls the ancients used to eat in. Neolithic period (8000-4000 BC) During the Neolithic period, with the production of pottery and the rise of the pottery industry, the ancestors moved from primitive raw food to cooked food. This was a remarkable event in the history of Chinese food culture. The earliest rice was cooked in a pottery kettle with water, which was then still in the form of porridge; later on, there was a 'retort' that could be heated in water, which led to steaming and the emergence of dry rice.   Shang and Zhou Dynasties (1600-221 BC) Porcelain played an important role in food culture, with primitive celadon first appearing from the mid-Shang dynasty onwards. Celadon was not only restricted to the upper classes, but the common people could also use it for pleasure: the restrictions on the use of ceramics were relatively broad, and bowls became a staple of everyday food life, with the earliest porcelain bowls in China, their basic shape being a large mouth with a deep belly and flat bottom, simple and practical, basically without ornamentation, used from the Shang and Zhou dynasties to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.   Han Dynasty (202 BC –220 AD) The Han dynasty was a period of great development for the ancient lacquer craft in China, and lacquer tableware became trendy tableware sought after by the nobility because it was far more durable, lightweight and beautiful than bronze and earthenware products.   Tang Dynasty (618-907) During the Tang and Song dynasties, due to the continuous development of porcelain technology, coupled with the fact that copper was mainly used to make money, copper manufacturing was restricted, so the general daily necessities were mostly replaced by ceramics, and porcelain gradually occupied the chief position in the tableware world. White porcelain and painted porcelain tableware based on white porcelain emerged during the Tang Dynasty. The porcelain bowls of the Tang dynasty are more varied, with petal mouths and rolled rims, and are finely crafted and beautifully shaped, with simple scratched decoration on them.   Song Dynasty (960-1279) In the Song dynasty, due to the expansion of the porcelain production scale, the level of technology improved significantly, making the Song porcelain tableware in the process of modelling, glaze, decoration and other aspects a peak of ancient Chinese ceramic production. Shapes of Song dynasty bowls are richer, with bucket style, straw hat style, etc., glaze colour is mostly monochrome, such as shadow blue, black, sauce, white, etc., and the decoration is mostly baby play, animals, plants, etc., the style is elegant, exquisite.   Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368) Underglaze porcelain, represented by painted blue and white porcelain and underglaze red, became the newest of the Yuan dynasty. Yuan dynasty porcelain was exported in large quantities, both in a distinctly Chinese style and with characteristics of West Asian culture. During this period, blue and white porcelain bowls, representative of Chinese tableware, began to appear. The elegant and atmospheric blue and white porcelain bowl became the mainstream of Chinese porcelain tableware production, and its influence continues to this day.   Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) The most common type of porcelain used during the Ming dynasty was a light-bodied, white-on-white, blue-and-white bowl for eating and drinking.
