The Milk Man

JohnW — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 18:34:31 +0000

Interesting article in today’s Khaleej Times about the author’s memories of visiting his grandmother in Southern India.

Seems like the milk man would bring his cow door to door and ask how many cups everyone wanted in their stainless steel containers. Then he would proceed to milk the cow right then and there.

Reminded me (when I was 4 or 5) of the milkman, who would drop off milk in big glass bottles and take the old ones to be cleaned and used again. No waste and no having to recycle milk cartons. How simple.

Why not marinade them in a large stainless steel or glass container with a sliced red onion, minced garlic, lots of lemon juice, olive oil & salt. Stir well and put it in the fridge for at least 2 hours. This is a good side dish to make ahead.

A simple way to keep your stainless steel looking new!

Of course, all of HealthyKitchenware Stainless Steel products are dishwasher safe. But, eventually, some of the shine will dull with repeated washings.

According to Helium Online, a good homemade cleaner consists of a small amount of olive oil mixed with baking soda, which will turn into a paste. After a few minutes of hand polishing, your stainless steel sandwich container will look nice and shiny – just like it did when it was delivered to your door!

Is BPA dangerous?

JohnW — Mon, 13 Sep 2010 22:23:40 +0000

Is BPA, also called Bisephenol, really dangerous? As you have read in other blogs on this site, studies have shown that BPA can lead to all sorts of health problems, including erectile dysfunction in men, heart aliments and disrupting endocrines in your body. However, for every study showing the harmful effects of the chemical, there is a conflicting study demonstrating the opposite. How is this possible? Because different laboratories use their own procedures and experiments in studing the chemical, which lead to different results in their findings. I don’t claim to be a scientist. But, until they get it all sorted out, it would be best to error on the side of caution. Don’t microwave anything in a plastic containers. Use stainless steel and glass containers around the kitchen.

Make it last

JohnW — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 18:56:13 +0000

Good article in “The Star Online” about how the kitchen is a good place to start going green. Of course, don’t use Teflon frying pans. They wear out pretty fast. (I do miss flipping eggs in one, though). Use cast iron or stainless steel instead. My sister picked up a discarded cast iron skillet at a garage sale. It will last generations. Also, stainless steel and glass containers are essential items for your kitchen. They’re a bit more expensive, but you’ll have them forever.

I know. It’s a pain to recycle all of those plastic containers. But, you and your family will be glad that you did.
