Go to the IRS website and look around until you find donations. There will be a guide in there that you can refer to.
You’d be surprised how much you are allowed for things.

Could you please let me know all the contact details of Sumeet kitchen applicance outlets in Western Europe?

by admin December 24th, 2009

I am looking for a Summeet all purpose mixer-grinder-blender-crusher-chopper (Indian) in West Europe? Are there any sales outlets in this part of the globe? If so, please give all the contact details inclusive of email-website-t’phone, etc.
Thank you

I think you might get a quicker answer to this question if you ask in the Indian section. How are we to know unless we use Indian products?

Need advice for kitchen gadgets i.e. blender, juicer ?

by admin December 22nd, 2009

I am a little confused as to what gadget does what. Basically I want to know if a Smoothie Maker is like a blender, or just for making smoothies only? Also I am after a Juicer – do any of these contraptions double up i.e. smoothie maker/juicer/blender!!! Can anyone recommend some good tried and tested machines please, many thanks
Yes I am in the UK

I don’t know if they sell it in the UK, but there is a product out there called the "Magic Bullet."

It is amazing, and it comes with attachments that make it usable as a juicer, blender, AND smoothie maker.

Otherwise, go for a blender over a smoothie maker. They have more versatility and can be used for smoothies as well :)

What does the term "cut in" mean in the kitchen?

by admin December 17th, 2009

I have a class called FACE (Family And Consumer Education) and i got a project i have to do and it asks what the term cut in means in the kitchen. I have to have a live presentation with a mixing bow, fork, and a pastry blender. So what does "cut in"?

It’s the method used to incorporate butter (or other solid fat) into dry ingredients, using the pastry blender. Generally you cut through the butter repeatedly until the mixture looks like cornmeal.

How would we decorate our kitchen?

by admin December 14th, 2009

In the future my husband and I want a gourmet style kitchen (fit to meet the needs of the cook, stainless steel appliances, big stove, big sink, island with pot and pans hanger) but with small vintage appliances (blender, tea pot, toaster, things like that.) Would it clash too much? Modern and vintage? Any ideas on how to do our kitchen?

if you are really nervous there are sites where you can design a whole room. but i say go for it. you could just but a few small things that are vintage and modern and see if you like it but i say go for it.
