BOTTLE SCRAPER
The
bottle scraper (known as both a flessenschraper (bottle scraper) and
flessenlikker (bottle licker) in Dutch) is a Dutch kitchen tool similar to a
small spatula. It is designed to scrape the contents of long bottles that would
be impossible to reach with other kitchen tools. Although the tool is sold in
Norway and has even been described in some accounts as having originated there,
it is cited as a quintessentially Dutch tool as well as an example of Dutch
thrift.
The
scraper is made of a long shaft, frequently around 30 centimetres (0.98 ft) in
length. On one side is a small flexible rubber spatula head roughly 4
centimetres (1.6 in) across set perpendicular to the shaft. The head is
flexible and usually has a rounded half-circle shape one side useful for
scraping round bottles and jars and a flat side with two right angles useful
for scraping out cartons. The head is flexible so that it can be pushed into
and pulled out of bottles whose mouth is smaller than the fully expanded head of
the scraper but larger than the shaft.
How to Clean Up ?
Just
use cleaning soap then store it according to the materials.
LAME
A lame is a double-sided blade that is used to slash the tops of
bread loaves in artisan baking. A lame is used to score (also called slashing
or docking) bread just before the bread is placed in the oven. Often the
blade's cutting edge will be slightly concave-shaped, which allows users to cut
flaps (called shag) considerably thinner than would be possible with a
traditional straight razor.
A slash on the loaf's surface allows the dough to properly expand
in the oven without tearing the skin or crust and also allows moisture to
escape from the loaf. It also releases some of the gas, mainly carbon dioxide,
that is trapped inside the dough. Proper scoring also allows the baker to
control exactly where the loaf will open or bloom. This significantly improves
the appearance of baked breads. Scoring, finally, creates varieties in forms
and appearance. It brings out the bread baker's artistic talent, allowing a
unique signature.
How to Clean Up ?
Clean with dirt that still sticks like flour or bread dough then
wash if it is too dirty if not enough to wipe it wet and dry it.
BOTTLE OPENER
A
bottle opener is a device that enables the removal of metal bottle caps from
bottles. More generally, it might be thought to include corkscrews used to
remove cork or plastic stoppers from wine bottles. A metal bottle cap is
affixed to the rim of the neck of a bottle by being pleated or ruffled around
the rim. A bottle opener is a specialized lever inserted beneath the pleated
metalwork, which uses a point on the bottle cap as a fulcrum on which to pivot.
There
are several distinct designs of such bottle openers. Wall mounted openers are
typically found behind bars in pubs, whilst hand-tool bottle openers tend to be
found and used in domestic environments. Whereas the functional elements of
bottle openers (a tooth or lip to catch the underside of the cap, a fulcrum
across which to exert the force that will remove the cap, and usually a lever
for mechanical advantage) tend to be consistent (sometimes the lever is the
bottle itself), their aesthetic design is subject to very great variety, and a
great many decorative types are available.
Technique
Under
most use, a bottle opener functions as a second-class lever: the fulcrum is the
far end of the bottle opener, placed on the top of the crown, with the output
at the near end of the bottle opener, on the crown edge, between the fulcrum
and the hand: in these cases, one pushes up on the lever.
However,
one may instead use it as a first-class lever, by placing the near end on the
top of the crown, and the far end under the crown edge, then pushing down on
the lever (thus the output is on the opposite side of the fulcrum from the
hand). This is particularly used with bar blades, which form an obtuse angle.
Mechanically, this is a marginally less effective lever, as the effort arm is
shorter, but the action of pushing down is marginally anatomically easier.
While
most lever-type bottle openers can be used in either configuration, the
designed use can be determined if one of the edges is curved, in which case
this edge is designed to sit in the middle of the crown, as the curve
concentrates pressure, deforming the crown, and a curved edge does not connect
with as much of the crown edge, hence being suboptimal and slipping more
frequently if used to connect with the crown edge. This difference can be seen
in comparing the traditional opener and contemporary bar blade at right.

Only
using cleaning produck and than keep it in the good place.
