Kitchen mechanical appliances. Practical and unusual kitchen appliances. … and what you can do yourself
Unusual devices may be different. Important and not very important, unique and not, expensive and free, big and small. Another thing is important: in such devices there is something that distinguishes them from the general range of things that are familiar and dear to the heart. The genius of a person knows no fatigue, there are always ordinary things that can be slightly changed - and something unusual will turn out. And where to practice such experiments, if not in the field of science and technology? Where to apply the gift of engineering, if not to solve specific problems with the help of unusual devices? We try to follow such manifestations of the world of progress very carefully, because once upon a time even an ordinary light bulb was an unusual device. And a computer. And a phone. And a car. Everything unusual eventually becomes ordinary.
In France, an artificial pancreas apparatus designed for patients with type 1 diabetes is undergoing clinical trials, allowing automatic control of blood sugar levels and insulin injections.
Kitchen appliances, small or large, bought or made, make your life easier. With them, kitchen worries turn into a fun game - do not deny yourself such pleasure!
A lot of cute and useful gadgets that make household chores easier have already been invented. Some can be purchased at the store, others do it yourself. Consider the most interesting and necessary appliances for the kitchen, and at the same time share some ideas with you. Perhaps you will take some of this into service.
What manufacturers offer...
Tablet holder
Wherever you put the TV in the kitchen, you still can’t see what’s happening on the screen all the time. But on the tablet, you can turn on the video recipe you like and hang it, for example, over. This is where a convenient adjustable holder comes in handy - a simple mechanical device that is easy to install anywhere in the kitchen.
Stand-organizer for peeling potatoes
An excellent device for those who can’t get used to peeling potatoes while sitting in the kitchen. This is the most common tray, but a very unusual shape. Lay it on your knees - and here is everything you need to organize this boring job:
- immediately under the hands of a recess for cleaning;
- ahead of the "bucket" for tubers;
- additional recesses on the right and left, where you can put potatoes;
- in the center is a flat surface for cutting.
That's just in the kitchen you have to find a place where to store such a voluminous device.
Cutting board with electronic scales
This kitchen appliance has a durable coating that cannot be damaged by a knife. But after cutting, it is easy to move the chopped products to the highlighted circle to determine their weight. An excellent device for those who are on a diet or are not used to preparing complex dishes “by eye”.
As an everyday option, you can use a spoon with weights in the kitchen. The display on the device handle will immediately highlight the exact figure as soon as you scoop up salt, sugar or other spices.
Beverage cooler
The electronic device is designed for one bottle, but it can work both from a socket in the kitchen and from a built-in battery. Unlike a primitive ice bucket, this device cools wine and drinks in minutes to the correct temperature set from the control panel.
Another option, more compact and non-volatile, was called Corkcicle, that is, “cork icicle”. A long transparent test tube with liquid inside and a real wine cork on the end just sits in the freezer in your kitchen. And as soon as you need to cool the wine, it is enough to insert the “icicle” into the neck of the uncorked bottle for a few minutes.
pan-combine
Very useful kitchen appliances are obtained from combinations of household appliances. This happened in this case too: the chopper was simply combined in one housing with a multicooker. It remains only to clean the necessary products with your own hands, throw them inside and select a program - and the smart device will cut and cook them.
Pasta machine with dumpling attachment
Previously, on such a device in the kitchen, it was only possible to roll out dough or cut pasta. And with the new nozzle and topping dispenser, you can make dozens of delicious ravioli in minutes. A lot of square dumplings come out of the device at once, so it is better to send some of them to the freezer.
Containers with a dispenser
An improved version of measuring cups in the kitchen is used for the exact dosage of batter poured into cupcake molds, as well as for baking pancakes. The shutter at the bottom of this device is opened by simply pressing the double handle, and the scale on the transparent walls allows you to control the amount of dough flowing out.
spaghetti plug
Funny devices are most liked by kids, so they are produced in a bright and cheerful design. The principle of operation of the device is the same as that of an electric toothbrush, only at the end there is a regular plug. When you press the button, it starts to rotate, gently winding long spaghetti.
… and what you can do yourself
Kitchen appliances not only facilitate the work of housewives, but also decorate the interior. And what can give it more comfort and charm than useful handmade accessories?
Cutlery organizer
The first kitchen appliances that the hostess decides to make with her own hands are organizer-stands for storing forks, spoons and other small appliances. You can assemble a useful decoration from improvised materials, and after decorating it will acquire an original appearance and transform the interior. To create this device, tin cans or cut plastic bottles are suitable, which are bolted together or glued together. The decor can be anything at all - from painting and painting to covering with fabric and twine (depending on the style of the kitchen itself).
invisible magnet
It is convenient to store knives on a wall magnet - here they do not get dull, they are always in sight, they can be quickly taken and returned to their place. And so that the metal strip does not spoil the interior of, say, a classic kitchen, you can make a simple fixture with your own hands. To do this, on the reverse side of a small board, you need to drill round recesses with a crown and glue magnets of a suitable size inside. Outside, such a plank in the kitchen will look like natural wood should, and it can work no worse than standard magnetic strips, securely holding sharp appliances.
Sometimes even for such small appliances in a cramped kitchen there is not enough space. If there is no way to fit the spices on the shelf, they can be hung from below. To make such a storage system with your own hands, you will need glass baby food jars or small containers with screw-on tin lids. Here they need to be bolted to the bottom. After pour spices into jars and fasten each in its place.
Storing bags in the kitchen
A good hostess always has a supply of plastic bags: for freezing, sandwiches or garbage. To store and retrieve them more conveniently, use a cardboard tissue box. And to save space, the simplest fixture can be mounted on the inside of the door of one of the kitchen cabinets.
Drainer
This original device can be made from polished bars or long cylindrical blanks, but it is easier to use a few wooden clothes hangers. Hooks are unscrewed from the hangers, and the cases are connected with screws crosswise so that the “legs” are at the bottom, and the “horns” look up.
Four or five of these pairs are assembled into a single structure using rails about 60 cm long. They will serve as limiters and will securely hold the plates inserted between the shoulders of your device. You can hang mugs and glasses on the "horns" of a homemade dryer.
Hooks in the kitchen
Convenient and in its own way funny do-it-yourself hooks for potholders, aprons and towels can be made from forks by simply bending their cuttings. It is also better to clamp the teeth of the devices so as not to accidentally get hurt. Such a hook is attached to the kitchen wall with a simple self-tapping screw through a hole drilled in the metal. True, aluminum forks are the easiest to process, and they are not able to hold a lot of weight. So you shouldn’t hang everything on one hook - make several similar devices for the kitchen at once.
Bags with vegetables
The original method is much more convenient than bunches of garlic or mushrooms hung on nails. These are through canvas bags with puffs at the top and bottom, which can be hung on hooks by the back loop. Potatoes, onions and the same garlic are laid on top, and during cooking they are easily removed from the lower “sleeve”, you just have to untie the lace.
narrow cabinet
Probably the most useful gadget imaginable in a cramped kitchen. When only 10-15 cm of free space remains between the refrigerator and the adjacent cabinet, it must certainly be used for its intended purpose. To do this, from ordinary boards of a slightly smaller width, you can knock down the frame, equip it from the inside with shelves and side stops, and from the bottom with wheels. After that, all that remains is to veneer the facade to match the color of the objects surrounding it and screw on a convenient handle - the roll-out shelf for jars and bottles is ready.
All the considered appliances and hand-made devices are certainly interesting and greatly facilitate kitchen worries. But do not oversaturate the house with such gizmos. Choose only those that you will actually use often, so as not to turn a cozy kitchen into a warehouse of a crazy inventor.
