How to Load a Dishwasher 101

Posted on June 5, 2020October 14, 2020Posted in Appliances 101, How-To, KitchenTagged dishwasherNo Comments

There are several essentials tips to keep in mind for the best way to load a dishwasher. Depending on the brand a dishwasher has different racks and internal workings, meaning each has a unique loading pattern. Consult your manufacturer’s instructions about how to load your dishwasher to ensure you get the most effective cleaning. Pre-rinse any dishes that will sit in the dishwasher for a while before you run a cycle. Some items — like cast iron cookware — should never go in this machine. Make sure you know what not to put in the dishwasher. Don’t stack dishes, as this prevents the sprayer from reaching everywhere. Make sure plastic items are secure, so they don’t get knocked loose. If they are unsettled and get too close to the heating element, they can melt. Avoid crowding the dishwasher, as this can lead to dishes getting broken or not being washed effectively. Loading Silverware in a Dishwasher Loading silverware in the dishwasher should be a no brainer, You just drop it in, right? Well, there’s a bit more to it. When possible, mix forks, spoons and knives to prevent them from nesting. Load some utensils — like forks and spoons — with handles facing down. Knives should be loaded with the handles facing up so that you don’t cut yourself. Keep silver-plated utensils and stainless steel utensils separate to prevent damage to your good silver. How to Load Large Items Larger dishes like plates, casserole dishes, dishwasher-safe baking sheets and mixing bowls should be loaded on the bottom rack. But there are a few things you might not be aware of. Make sure the largest items are positioned towards the sides and the back of the rack. (This will allow the water to circulate more evenly.) Load dishes so that the side that is dirty faces the sprayer. Space out larger items to ensure they’re properly cleaned. . Many non-stick pots and pans should be washed by hand, don’t assume they are dishwasher safe, it’s best to always consult the care instructions. How to Load Smaller Items in Your Dishwasher As it goes, the top rack is reserved for smaller items, such as coffee mugs, small bowls and glasses. Make the most of each dishwashing cycle with these tips. Place items in between the tines on the rack to prevent water spots. Load cups and mugs at an angle — with the inside of the cup facing the sprayer — to help limit pooling. Unload the bottom rack first so that any liquid that has puddled in cups or mugs doesn’t splash on clean dishes. Skip the dishwasher when it comes to cleaning wine glasses, as their delicate globes and stems can easily break. Load dishwasher-safe plastic food storage containers and other plastic items on the top rack — and far away from the heating element — to help prevent warping and buckling.

Laundry Day- A “Do’s and Don’ts” Guide

Posted on May 19, 2020October 14, 2020Posted in Appliances 101, How-To, Kitchen, ProductsTagged cosmo appliances, kitchen appliances, washing machine2 Comments

Like with most kitchen appliances, there are a few tricks to washing clothes in a washing machine. Having a machine to do those seemingly endless loads of clothing is convenient. And you may think you know how to use it effectively but it’s not as straight forward as you would imagine. To ensure your clothes always come out clean and fresh it’s important you know exactly how to use a washing machine, for example you want to know the proper ways to wash your delicates or load the dryer, you’ll want to follow this guide on the right ways to do your laundry. DOs – For best results 1. DO separate colors and pre-treat stains Divide your weekly washes into four piles: whites, lights, darks, and delicates to prevent any color run disasters. Once you’ve got enough of one pile to put it in the machine, check the garments for stains. Pre-treat these items before placing in the washer to avoid having to re-wash later. Clothes should be sorted by: Fabric: separate delicate fabrics that require a gentle cycle from heavier items. Color: Keep whites separate from colors and group lighter colors from darker ones. Soil: Soil travels from one garment to garment so try to wash heavily soiled garments separately. 2. DO check garment care labels Before popping your clothes in the washing machine, check the care labels for washing guidelines for instructions on the appropriate wash cycle and temperature to set. 3. DO use laundry bags for delicates Delicate items like underwear, silks, lingerie and white items that are really precious to you should be placed in laundry bags to protect them from snagging. If you don’t have a laundry bag, use a pillowcase! 4. DO use the right amount of detergent Always read the packaging of your detergent to learn how to measure and use that specific product: Measure liquid detergents using the measuring cap Measure washing powders using the scoop provided and pour into the correct compartment of the detergent drawer (check your owner manual for this). Add washing tablets to the detergent drawer or the washing machine drum before your clothes, according to the instructions for your machine. Just like washing machine tablets, how to use laundry capsules is easy and straightforward. Pop one at the back of the drum before your clothes and go! Fill the machine with water, detergent and then add your clothes, this procedure will help detergent, fabric softener to properly dissolve in the water. 5. DO leave your washing machine door open after use This will allow it to air out and help prevent mold and mildew from growing. 6. DO prevent shrinking by using cold or warm water Cotton, denim, and various other fabrics can shrink if you wash them in hot water, so always use cold or warm water while washing woolen, cotton outfits. 7. DO clean your washing machine Regular cleaning is an important part of knowing how to use a washing machine. Set the washing machine to a hot cycle and add a cup of white vinegar to sanitize the machine and help remove smells. DON’T’s – Avoid these common mistakes 1. DON’T overload your machine Clothes crammed into the washing machine won’t be able to move around enough to get a proper clean so you could end up needing to wash them again! Likewise, do not wash small loads using a large load cycle – this will use an unnecessary amount of water and energy. 2. DON’T leave anything in pockets Check all pockets for things like tissues or plastic toys, before placing in the washing machine. A stray tissue could leave your entire load covered in white fluff! 3. DON’T put fabric softener directly on top of laundry Fabric softener should never come in direct contact with clothes as it could stain them. Consult your washing machine manual and find the correct compartment in the detergent drawer for the conditioner to be placed in – it’s usually marked with a flower. 4. DON’T use too much detergent An excessive amount of laundry detergent could leave residue on your clothing and doesn’t result in cleaner clothes. 5. DON’T leave wet clothes in for a long time Moisture from wet clothes could result in a build-up of mold in your washing machine drum, or even on your clothes. Remove clothes from the washer as soon as possible after the rinse cycle is finished and dry naturally, outside, where you can. Happy washing! With the basic dos and don’ts of how to use your washing machine covered, doing the laundry should now be a lot simpler.

If there’s one kitchen appliance every home needs it’s a microwave but it’s one bulky appliance with a large footprint. The typical location for a microwave oven is on the countertop, where it takes up so much precious counter space.

Simple Solutions for Small Appliances

Your family depends on the appliances in your kitchen. You have a few small appliances in your home that you want to keep in good working order. Here’s a quick list of small kitchen solutions for small kitchen appliances to make cooking and cleaning more convenient. Microwave Presets to Save Energy Did you know that using the pre-set cooking times on the touchpad can help your microwave work more efficiently and save energy? It can also help you avoid cooking accidents. Use the pre-set times when thawing foods, too. Order Matters in the Blender One of the most important tips to keep in mind with any blender is the order of the ingredients you’re adding. Go from lightest to heaviest. That mean you should ALWAYS start with liquid and make sure it covers the blades. Cover Up the Stand Mixer To prevent unwanted dust from getting into your Stand Mixer and into your food, keep it covered by attaching a shower cap around it. Know your Slow Cooker’s Limits The high setting is for when you just want to heat things up, If you want vegetables to stay whole, don’t put them in the slow cooker on high for 12 hours unless they’re hard-shelled, like squashes. Delicate vegetables like zucchini or peppers will melt into nothing. When you’re slow cooking vegetables, put the slow cooker on a delayed start for about three to four hours and keep it set to low. Clean your Coffee Pot The coffee pot, itself, should be cleaned regularly. Cleaning it every two weeks will keep old coffee and grounds that are stuck in the pot from imparting your brews with unwanted flavors. Wipe the Outside Of the Rice Cooker’s Pot A common mistake some people have is placing the pot of uncooked rice into the cooker with the outside of the pot being wet. Not only could it damage the rice cooker’s heating elements, it also affects the cooking temperature of the rice. So give it a quick wipe on the outside first before you put the rice in.

How to Chill Wine Quickly

Posted on April 24, 2020October 14, 2020Posted in Appliances 101, Kitchen, ProductsTagged food, food expirationNo Comments

One of the biggest factors that affects way you experience wine is serving temperature; which has an impact on the wine’s flavor, structure, and aroma. That being said, what do you do when company is on the way and you’re in need of some perfectly chilled wine now. Resist the urge to add ice cubes to your glass; this dilutes the wine. So we decided to take a look at the proper serving temperature, because getting your wines temperature just right is one of the most important factors for enjoying wine. Submerge the Wine Bottle in Ice Water And Salt This is the method preferred by sommeliers. Make an ice bath for your bottle, you should use a 50/50 ratio of ice and water. There is a one special ingredient that you need –Salt! It will further drop the freezing temperature of water, which will chill your wine faster! Make sure the bottle is completely submerged, to ensure the contents of the entire bottle evenly chill. Drop Frozen Grapes into Your Wine Glass More than just a delicious healthy snack frozen grapes are also a great way to chill wine. Drop your frozen grapes into your glass—they’ll function just like ice cubes, except you won’t end up with watered-down wine. Use Wine Pearls in Your Wine Glass Unlike ice cubes which dilute your wine, Wine Pearls are hand-polished stainless steel “pearls” that have a freezing gel inside, which works to quickly cool your glass of wine, without affecting the taste in the process. Wine Pearls will keep your wine cold for up to an hour. Use your Freezer If you choose to use the freezer, be very careful (don’t want the bottle to explode). The right way to do it is to wrap the bottle in a wet tea towel before you put it in. The damp towel will freeze quickly, and thanks to the frozen towel, the wine will chill in half the time it usually would (Note: The tea towel might be stuck to the bottle when you remove it from the freezer—to fix this, simply run it under warm water and the towel will slide off.) Chill Your Wine by the Serving Since glass bottles can be thick and insulated, the wine will chill faster once it’s out of the bottle. Keep a bag of frozen grapes in the fridge, you can just use them as needed. It is a great way to chill wine, since it will cool down the wine without watering it down too. Right now, you need to chill your wine quickly but if you want to avoid this problem in the future there is a solution that will make sure your wine is always at optimal temperature. Consider buying a wine cooler by Cosmo, designed for chilling wine and other beverages by eliminating harmful light, fluctuating temperatures, humidity, and vibration.
