    Lylas Tips
     
    If you can't stand the smell, get out of the kitchen!  Or get some vinegar.  To deodorize the kitchen drain, pour a cup of vinegar down the drain once a week.  Let it stand for 30 minutes and flush it with cold water.
     
    FRIGHTFUL FRIGIDAIRE?  Not anymore! 
    For a really clean refrigerator, wash it
    down with a solution made of equal parts
    vinegar and water.

    You probably deodorize you fridge,
    and kitchen cupboards on a regular
    basis.  What you probably don't pay
    much attention to is your microwave.
    To clean your microwave, boil a
    mixture of l/4 cup of vinegar and
    1 cup of water in it.  This mixture will
    loosen any splattered-on food, while
    simultaneously deodorizing your
    microwave

    A Gift Worth Having
     
     Christmas 2004 I received a complete set of Ronco knives.  I was surprised to say the least. A friend decided that I needed a new set of knives and so sent them to me.

    Take the guesswork out of sizing pie crusts with this 16-by-22-inch wooden pastry board from Catskill Craftsmen. The board features an imprinted chart with "perfect pastry" sizes, inviting you to roll your pie or tart crust into the appropriate circle. To ensure precision, the board features both metric and inch rulers. It's also reversible to a plain surface for other projects. Made of solid domestic hardwood, the 3/4-inch-thick board features an oil finish to prevent sticking. Users should wash with soap and water, and occasionally restore with mineral oil. The board weighs just over 6-1/2 pounds.

    Clean lines and simple decoration make Farberware's Stephanie flatware a handsome everyday pattern or an unfussy addition to more elaborate place settings. With service for four, each round-edged handle has a slim silhouette that flares gracefully from the neck to the flat-ended tip. Wrapping the handles, a straightforward design of raised bands graces the gleaming mirror finish. This 20-piece collection feels pleasantly weighty in the hand and is constructed of high-quality 18/10 stainless steel--18 percent chrome for corrosion resistance and 10 percent nickel for luster. Each place setting includes a salad fork, dinner fork, dinner knife, teaspoon, and soupspoon, and the entire set goes safely into the dishwasher.

    With 600 watts of pulsing power, this five-speed blender works great for making smoothies, frozen drinks, soups, salsas, and more. The unit's soft-start feature starts the blender at a lower speed to prevent splattering, and its ice-crush function easily crushes ice by intermittently pulsing for maximum efficiency. Two 50-ounce jars are included, one glass and one stainless steel, both with durable, sealed lids and removable blades. And there's no need to turn or twist the jar for positioning--just drop it onto the base and the jar will automatically lock into place.

    For safety, the blender shuts down the motor if the jar is removed from the base while in operation. Other useful features include illuminated soft-touch controls, cord storage, and jar lids with removable ingredient caps. The blender's heavy-duty base ensures maximum stability, and its brushed aluminum finish beautifully complements any kitchen decor. Designed and engineered in Italy, the blender measures 15-1/3 by 14-2/5 by 8-1/2 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

     

     

    The name Cuisinart is synonymous with food processors and this 7-cup unit is the perfect size for daily food prep for an average family of four. This versatile appliance comes with two blades and two discs that perform a variety of kitchen tasks in a short time. The main stainless-steel blade chops or purées raw or cooked fruits and vegetables, meat, fish, cheese, and nuts. A switch on the motor base flips up for mincing or puréeing and flips down for the pulse option, which offers better control when chopping food into larger chunks. The included plastic blade kneads up to two pounds of perfectly textured bread, pastry, or pizza dough in less than two minutes. Other attachments include a slicer disc for slicing or julienning luncheon meats, cheeses, and various vegetables, and a shredding disc for vegetables such as cabbage, carrots, or iceberg lettuce. Foods to be sliced or shredded are inserted through an extra-large plastic feed tube above the processor's bowl and helped through with a pusher. For convenience, the bowl, feed tube, and pusher are all dishwasher-safe, reducing cleanup as well as prep time. The sleek base gives this processor a commercial-kitchen look and its weight and rubber feet make it immovable during use. This Cuisinart food processor comes with a spatula and a colorful instruction and recipe book as well as a full five-year warranty on the motor.

    This sturdy butcher-block board is made from select, non-endangered, self-sustaining American hardwood. Made by Catskill Craftsmen, of New York, this board has smoothly rounded edges and a channel along the edge that's deep enough to hold any juices released during cutting. The wood won't splinter or dull knives. Take good care of the wood by hand washing and occasionally coating with butcher-block oil.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     

    Forged of high-carbon stainless steel, the knives in this 14-piece set equip the kitchen for every essential need and outfit the dining room for slicing steaks, chops, and roasts when family and friends gather for dinner. The five kitchen knives have wide bolsters for control and balance and finely ground edges. Included are an 8-inch chef's knife for rocking through chopping tasks, an 8-inch slicer for carving roasts and poultry, an 8-inch bread knife with a serrated edge, a 5-inch utility knife, and a 3-1/4-inch paring knife. Synthetic handles on both the kitchen knives and the six 4-1/2-inch steak knives are attached to full bolsters with three rivets for traditional style. Accompanying the knives are an 8-inch sharpening steel to keep edges aligned and 8-inch kitchen shears with a bottle opener between the handles. All pieces fit into a stylish, three-tier, hardwood storage block slanted for easy access. The knives are dishwasher-safe but should be hand washed to preserve edges.
