There are so many kitchen gadgets that you can purchase for your home. But the truth is, not all of the gadgets you see will be useful for your home. So, today we are going to share with you some of the kitchen gadgets you must have in your home, the ones that are going to be the most useful.

Tin Opener
One kitchen gadget that people tend to forget about having in their kitchen until it’s needed is a tin opener. These are needed a lot of the time for opening the tins that are used in daily meals. Some tins will have a tab, but the smaller tins that are more commonly used will need a tin opener. Having one of these in your kitchen will be extremely useful.

Knife Rack
Another kitchen gadget that we believe every kitchen must-have is a knife rack. This is one of the most useful items as it can store all of your sharp cooking knives. You never know when you will need a sharp knife on hand, they are used very commonly. Having a knife rack makes it easy for you to grab these and have them to hand.

Blender

Finally, we believe every home should have a blender. This is a kitchen gadget that is pushed to one side. It is believed that this gadget is only useful for making smoothies, but this is not the case. A blender can be used for lots of things, such as making baby food or even making your own slush puppies or bread crumbs. It is a useful gadget for you if you wish to save money on some kitchen ingredients that may overwise up your food shopping bill.

These are just a few of the most useful kitchen gadgets that we believe every home should have in their kitchens.

On chef blogs, you will read a lot about cooking tips and recipes. But what you won’t read a lot about is cleanliness, the importance of it and how to keep your kitchen clean. That is why today we are taking a new turn on our blog. We are going to discuss with you kitchen cleanliness, sharing our top tips for keeping your kitchen clean.

So, how can you effectively keep your kitchen clean?

One of the most effective ways to keep on top of your kitchen cleanliness is by wiping down your surfaces after every use. This will help you to keep your kitchen clean, making every cleaning time less daunting.

You should also try to clean all of your equipment after every use, especially if you are someone who likes to cook fresh meals for every meal. This way you will always have the equipment to use for every cooking time. This can be washing by hand, or placing them in your dishwasher. This will always help with the cleanliness of your kitchen.

If you are unsure whether or not something in your kitchen has been cleaned effectively, whether it be the tools you are going to use, or the surface you’ll be using then there’s no need to worry. It is always a good idea to wipe down surfaces and tools again before use to ensure only clean items are being used during your cooking time.

You should also ensure that any tools that are being used for raw meat are kept separate and only being used on raw meat. This is to keep everyone safe as raw meat can be dangerous for the human body. Keeping these tools and surfaces separate will help to prevent cross-contamination and help with your kitchen cleanliness.

An omelette, a staple meal in many homes across the United Kingdom. As much as it is a staple meal in many home, that we all find easy to make some people do still struggle. Making a truly perfect omelette can be such a challenge so today we are going to share with you our top chef tips to creating the perfect omelette.

How Many Eggs?
This entirely depends on you and how many eggs you deem necessary. If it is for one person with a mild appetite we recommend 2 eggs, but you can go up to 4 eggs if they are extremely hungry.

Beating Your Eggs
The following step is beating your eggs. This is where most people tend to go wrong. Over beating your eggs makes for an omelette that is more like scrambled egg that is not what any body wants. You need to beat your eggs for a short amount of time, stopping right before the yolk and egg which become completely mixed together.

Whats The Right Filling?
A lot of people enjoy adding fillings to their omelette. If you are one of these people please take this into consideration when choosing the amount of eggs as the fillings will make this just as filling so you will not need as many eggs. When choosing the right filling it is all down to personal preference. We personally like to add cheese and ham into our omelettes. But some people also like to add pepper, mushrooms and other meats into theirs.

Seasoning
Please do not forget to season your omelette. There are so many people who make an omeltte with only egg and a filling. Please add salt, pepper and milk to your omelette. This will give it an amazing texture as well as the flavour you desire.

How Is Brexit Impacting The Food Industry?

Brexit, the situation that has come from the UK leaving the EU. What impact is this situation going to have on the food industry?

One of the main impacts that Brexit will have on the food industry is unfortunately negative. This being that the price of food is going to increase! With newly introduced import fees from the Brexit issues. This means we will have to pay more for food supplies, customers in turn will need to pay more for the meals and food that is created.

This price increase may be the start of a huge impact on the food industry. A lot of people do not enjoy paying more for a product. They like the prices to stay the same or to decrease. So this increase may see a loss in customers. Luckily as Brexit is a nationwide issue, people are being more understanding and supportive of these changes.

Hand Whisks are one piece of kitchen equipment that are commonly used in homes across the world. With near enough every home in the United Kingdom containing at least one kind of whisk, if not multiple. Two of the most common choices for hand whisks are manual and electric, but which one should you choose for your home?

Price Point
If the price point is something that you are considering, then a manual hand whisk may be best for you. These are more budget-friendly, at a much lower price point. Electric whisks come with a higher price point, but it is possible to find simple hand whisks at lower price points.

Ease of Use
If you are purchasing a hand whisk for ease of use, you may want to highly consider an electric hand whisk. This is the option that requires less effort on your part. All you need to learn is the different speeds and which will work best for you. Saying this, a manual hand whisk is much simpler to use but will require more effort.

Time Saving 
If you are after a hand whisk that will save you time, you will want to choose an electric hand whisk. Due to the speeds that this type of hand whisk can go, you will find that you are saving a lot of time using this whisk. Your items will be whisked and blended together at a faster speed.

Keeping Traditional
If you are someone who wants to keep things traditional, the best option for you will be to use a manual hand whisk.
