osobní friťáček : )

Takže toto je něco zase pro single ppl: mini plastikovo-teflonová fritéza, ve které se dá za 10 - 12 minut udělat pěkně dokřupava i dotukova hrst hranolek. OMFG, to je vývoj!

Hot Air Pan

Another useful home or kitchen stuff is this hot air pan. It´s very old but still well working. There are many new types of this pan, including infra-red ones those probably are able to cook faster. I like this one and I use it to prepare quick fast-food types of meal such as fish fingers and french fries. Good aspect is that it´s possible to prepare them absolutely with no oil/fat added. The french fries are not oily, but still they´re very crispy - they´re different, one has to get use to eat it without oil. Good for figure!!
But when i´m fastidious for something nasty and fatty, i place a slice of a tinfoil under the meal, and i drop some oil (olive or sunflower), always less than one spoon. And it´s crispier and fast-fooder then. Don´t forget to accompany each dish with some pieces of vegetable!

Preserving cooker

Interesting and very helpful thing. It´s not cheap, but it´s an excellent helper while preserving. It can have a capacity of about 25 bottles. And of course, it works very smart and fast.
Put the jars to be preserved inside, pour sufficient amount of water to have the two decks of jars fully plunged and the top deck sunk partially. Set the cooker to boil, and from the point of boiling water there starts the preservation. Adequate time for preservate the cucumbers is 25 mins, 30 for be ultra sure. Then put the jars of the cooker with some kind of kitchen pliers and place them to chill out onto a solid cold surface such as flagstones. I do turn them upside down to be certain they are well closed with the lid. Some ppl don´t do that and i guess it´s not absolutely inavoidable. Have fun with home made pickles and enjoy!
