CHERRY
PITTER
A cherry pitter is a device for removing the pit from a cherry, leaving the
cherry relatively intact. Many styles of cherry pitters exist, including small
tools held in the hand, domestic crank-operated machines with a hopper, and
industrial machines.

Use of a hand-held cherry pitter involves first removing the stem, then pushing
a retractable plunger through the cherry so that the stone is pushed out the
other side. A homemade alternative to a cherry pitter is an unbent paperclip.
Insert the large end into the cherry, then twist and pull out the pit.
How
to Clean Up ?
Soak
it first so that the dirt is easy to clean, then wash thoroughly using cleaning
soap, then keep it according to the type of material used.
BLENDER
A blender (sometimes called a liquidiser in British English) is a kitchen and
laboratory appliance used to mix, purée, or emulsify food and other substances.
A stationary blender consists of a blender jar with a rotating metal blade at
the bottom, powered by an electric motor in the base. Some powerful models can
also crush ice. The newer immersion blender configuration has a motor on top
connected by a shaft to a rotating blade at the bottom, which can be used with
any container.
Countertop blenders are designed to mix, purée, and chop food. Their strength
is such that the ability to crush ice is an expected feature.
Blenders are used both in home and commercial kitchens for various purposes,
including to:
- Blend ice cream, milk, and sweet sauces to make milkshakes
- Mix and crush ice in cocktails such as the Zombie, piña colada and frozen margarita
- Crush ice and other ingredients in non-alcoholic drinks such as frappuccinos and smoothies
- Emulsify mixtures
- Make smooth purées of semi-solid ingredients, such as cooked vegetables and meat
- Reduce small solids such as spices and seeds to powder or nut butters
- Blend mixtures of powders, granules, and/or liquids thoroughly
- Help dissolve solids into liquids
Blenders also have a variety of applications in microbiology and food science.
In addition to standard food-type blenders, there is a variety of other
configurations of blender for laboratories.
Different blenders have different functions and features but product testing
indicates that many blenders, even less expensive ones, are useful for meeting
many consumer needs. Features which consumers consider when purchasing a
blender include the following:
- large visible measurement marks
- ease of use
- low noise during usage
- power usage (typically 300–1000 watts)
- ease of cleaning
- option for quick "pulse" blending
How
to Clean Up ?
To remove the odor and flavor left on the blender, you can soak it with lime
juice. Efficacy of lime is eliminating the odor from food ingredients attached
to the blender. However, this method takes a long time. Because you have
to fill the blender with lemon juice and silence it within a few hours, after
that just clean like we do normaly.
CHEESE
KNIFE
Cheese cutters are designed to cut soft, sticky cheeses (moist and oily), and
accordingly do not have a large sharp edged blade compare to a cheese knife
with holes in the blade. The cutting edge of cheese cutters are typically a
fine gauge stainless steel or aluminium wire (a "cheesewire")
stretched across a supporting frame. The thin wire cuts through a cheese block
with hand pressure.
The original Prodyne Gourmet Cheese Slicer had a wooden board with a slot cut
into it and a hole through which one end of a U-shaped steel cutting arm was
inserted. In the patented design, a stainless steel wire extends between the
two ends of the cutting arm fit into the slot, and cuts the cheese. The wire
has loops at each end; one loop is around the steel cutting arm in the slot,
while the other passes around a metal pin though a plastic handle on the other
end of the cutting arm. The plastic handle rotates upward to tighten the wire,
and is secured to the cutting arm with a screw.
The board-style cheese slicer has been expanded to include marble, stainless
steel, and plastic cutting boards. Several other designs of handles and wire
holders have also been invented to hold the cutting wires of cheese slicing
boards. Many of these wires have loops on the ends like the Prodyne models;
others have small rings or knots that fit into a slot on the handle and cutting
arm.
