Food Tong

Tongs are a type of tool used to grip and lift objects instead of holding them directly with hands. There are many forms of tongs adapted to their specific use. Some are merely large pincers or nippers, but most fall into these few classes:

1.   Tongs that have long arms terminating in small flat circular ends of tongs and are pivoted at a joint close to the handle used to handle delicate objects. Common fire-tongs, used for picking up pieces of coal and placing them on a fire without burning fingers or getting them dirty are of this type. Tongs for grilling, tongs for serving salad or spaghetti are kitchen utensil of the same type. They provide a way to move, rotate and turn the food with delicate precision, or fetch a full serving in one grab.

2.   Tongs consisting of a single band of metal bent round one or two bands joined at the head by a spring, as in sugar-tongs (a pair of usually silver tongs with claw-shaped or spoon-shaped ends for serving lump sugar), asparagus-tongs and the like.

3.   Tongs in which the pivot or joint is placed close to the gripping ends are used to handle hard and heavy objects. driller's round tongs, blacksmith's tongs or crucible tongs are of this type.

Cutting Board

              A cutting board is a durable board on which to place material for cutting. The kitchen cutting board is commonly used in preparing food. other types exist for cutting raw materials such as leather or plastic.

                      Kitchen cutting boards are often made of wood or plastic and come in various widths and sizes. There are also cutting boards made of glass, steel, or marble, which are easier to clean than wooden or plastic ones such as nylon or corian, but tend to damage knives due to their hardness. Rough cutting edges such as serrated knives abrade and damage a cutting surface more rapidly than do smooth cutting implements.

                      Regardless of the material, regular maintenance of a cutting board is important. A very diluted bleach solution is best for disinfecting cutting boards.

                       To remove odors, the board can be rinsed and then rubbed with coarse salt and left to stand for several minutes before being wiped and rinsed clean. In a wooden board, this procedure will also smooth out minor imperfections on the surface.

 Ballon wisk

    

 

                       A whisk is a cooking utensil which can be used to blend ingredients smooth or to incorporate air into a mixture, in a process known as whisking or whipping. The wires are usually metal, but some are plastic for use with nonstick cookware. Whisks are also made from bamboo.

                       Whisks are commonly used to whip egg whites into a firm foam to make meringue, or to whip cream into whipped cream. Whisks have differently-shaped loops depending on their intended functions.
