Clean Your White Kitchen

White Kitchen Interior 1

Do want to a fresh clean kitchen? White colour will certainly make it look nice and clean but …

In an easily dirty area, such as kitchen, many people often get frustrated and avoid the use of white colour. The reason is that white color can be easily stained by dirt, dust and even food splashes, often created in a kitchen.

Keeping white-coloured kitchen clean is certainly not a difficult case. It’s just that we need extra work to quickly clean the dirt and stain created. Dirt that is left for too long will make it more difficult to clean and ultimately leave permanent stain marks in kitchen which is clean white.

Of course regular cleaning is not only for white dominant coloured kitchen. Kitchen, whatever colour it is, should be maintained clean. But if you want to use white as the main colour, then consider the type of finishing materials. For table top, you can choose to use solid white surface. Synthetic material is one good candidate as it does not have pores: it is unlikely that stains will get absorbed into the material and damage the table top display.

Besides table top, the choice of kitchen cabinet finishing and the paint colour of kitchen walls are also important. Choose finishing materials that are easy to clean. For cabinet, melaminto finishing can be selected. The walls can be painted with stain-resistant acrylic material: if there is a splash of oil, soy sauce, or ketchup, it can easily be cleaned without leaving a stain on the kitchen set.

Today’s Dinner Menu: Roast Chicken? Yummy!

Roast chicken is one of delicious simple meals to cook. A perfectly cooked chicken has superbly crisp, juicy skin and succulent, tender meat. Roast Chicken DoneFor some people, a whole chicken can become puzzlement as they do not know what they should cook with the whole chicken in order to produce a delicious meal for lunch or dinner.

Today we will learn some techniques for creating a tasty and mouth-watering meal from a whole chicken. One way is to cook it as a yummy crispy roast chicken.

  1. Butterflying
    Flatten a whole chicken by cutting the chicken along the backbone, and then press the breastbone tightly to make it flat. Chicken ButterflyThis method is named spatchcocking, which allows us to give flavours on both inside and outside of the chicken easily. By flatting the whole chicken, it will reduce the cooking time.
  2. Speedy Solution
    Cut the butterfly whole chicken breasts lengthwise carefully by utilising a sharp knife; however do not cut it all the way through. After that, fold the butterfly chicken breast out. The shape of the butterfly chicken breast will look like a heart, which is great to be pan-fried, grilled and barbecued. This way will reduce your food preparation time.
  3. Stuffing
    Wash a whole chicken before stuffing it (preferably fresh chicken rather than frozen chicken). Then slap the chicken with absorbent paper to dry it. When the chicken has dried, spoon your choice of stuffing loosely over the cavity of the chicken. Do not pack it too tight as it will not heat all the way through. To keep the shape of the chicken and prevent the stuffing to come out from the cavity while it is roasting, tie the legs of the chicken together by using cotton string until both legs almost touch one another.
  4. Roasting Times
    Firstly, put the chicken on a ‘Chefer’ jumbo double pressure pan. Sweep the chicken with minimal oil and coat it with salt. Chefer Jumbo Double Pressure PanSpill out chicken stock to the base of the pan, and then bake it at 190°C (375°F) for about 1 hour until the chicken is tenderly cooked and roasted nicely with brown crisp colour. With ‘Chefer’ jumbo double pressure pan, you get a lot of benefits. Firstly, you do not need to turn back the chicken, just turn back the pan to the other side with the pan still closed. Hot oil will not splash or spill out of the pan – you are protected from getting oil burn.
  5. Roasting Tips
    To check whether the chicken is cooked or not, we can skew the flesh at the thickest point of chicken which is under the leg or part of the thigh for about 8 cm. The chicken is cooked when the juice looks clear, not red or pink. The other tip is to check whether the stuffing of the chicken is heated properly or not. We can test it by inserting a metal skewer into the stuffing area and hold it for 6 seconds. If the part of skewer in touch with the stuffing area is hot then the yummy chicken is ready to be consumed. However, if it is still warm, cook it for longer.

So, what are you waiting for? Let’s try roasting a scrumptious whole chicken!
