Make washing and preparing your vegetables part of your everyday routine



20 June 2011

As the UK becomes more vigilant about washing and preparing vegetables in
light of the recent E.Coli outbreak, many of us are turning towards our
favourite kitchen gadgets to make light work of everyday cooking tasks.

OXO’s universally-designed salad spinner will wash and dry leaves in next
to no time. Whether a full head of romaine lettuce, pre-prepared bag or a
juicy tomato, it pays to be extra careful.

Simply wash your leaves in the removable plastic basket, which doubles as a
colander, and add to the salad spinner to dry. OXO’s innovative pop-up
handle allows you to spin with just one hand, while the non-slip base
ensures that the spinner stays put on your work surface. A push button break
mechanism brings the spinning to a quick halt.

For those who like to snack on cucumbers or create a refreshing salad but
have become slightly wary given the recent health scare, OXO’s Y peeler is
ideal for removing a wafer thin layer of skin. With its trademark, soft-grip
handle, OXO’s Y peeler quickly and efficiently peels all manner of
vegetables, removing just enough skin to leave behind all the healthy
vitamins and nutrients. Also available in the range is a serrated peeler for
tackling soft fruits such as tomatoes and peaches.

OXO’s UK Marketing Manager, Tracy Carroll, says: “We have all become
much aware of our everyday food preparation practices given the recent
health scare. With many of us busy juggling work and family lives, everyday
tasks such as washing or peeling vegetables often fall by the way side, but
now we are all becoming stricter in our regimes. Our salad spinner can wash
and dry lettuce, tomatoes, even fruit and has been universally-designed so
that it is easy to use for the largest spectrum of people, even those who
have manual dexterities.“

Prices:
Salad spinner: £25.53
Little salad & herb spinner: £18.38

Y peeler: £5.62
Serrated peeler: £5.62

Designed to make everyday living that little bit easier, the OXO Good Grips
range offers over 200 stylish, yet practical tools for the home including
kitchenware, organisational tools, bathroom and cleaning products. The
company has also now extended into the nursery with the launch of OXO Tot,
an exciting new design-led collection of baby equipment including essential
feeding and weaning tools in three bright colours, handy cleaning tools and
a super stylish, ultra functional highchair.

A recipe for perfect Yorkshire pudding

Image
A lot is spoken about Yorkshire pudding but is in not such a very difficult thing to do. All it is, is a batter mix that is put in a mould with some oil so that it soufflés up as it bakes. As long as you follow a few simple rules then you should have a perfect pudding every time. To make the batter you will need. 125g/8oz plain flour 300ml/¾ pint milk 2 eggs Pinch of salt Some vegetable oil. Now a lot of propel say that you need a strong bread flour to make a god batter for Yorkshire puddings but I have found that over time it does not really matter. But if you are going to use a strong flour let it rest for a little longer to allow the glutens to start working and get soaked up in the liquid . Take you flour and sift it in to a bowel to make sure that you do not get any lumps. Then make a well in the middle and crack your eggs in to that. Now taking a whisk start to work the eggs in to the flour. It will start to from a thick paste. If you think that it is getting to hard to work then...
