"The fireworks in the world are the most soothing to the hearts of mortals."
The kitchen, the most living place in the home, carries our expectations for the warmth of home and food. However, some kitchen items, which seem to be practical, actually make people regret buying them.
Especially these 8 kitchen supplies, specially pit the common people, who uses it and who regrets it, obviously spent money, but it is really "very fatal"!
01. Oyster sauce press
When it comes to oyster sauce, everyone is familiar with it, it is an indispensable condiment in the kitchen.
However, due to the viscous texture of oyster sauce, it is often difficult to pour when used. As a result, the oyster sauce press was born, claiming to be able to solve this problem with ease.
But in fact, this seemingly practical gadget hides a lot of problems.
First of all, the sealing performance between the oyster sauce press and the oyster sauce bottle is extremely poor. After using it for a while, oyster sauce can easily spoil and even become moldy.
For example, my oyster sauce, after opening it, I found that it was covered with green hairs, which is not too disgusting! What's more, moldy oyster sauce can pose a potential health risk.
Therefore, it is recommended that when using oyster sauce, try to choose a small package, use it as soon as possible after opening, and be sure to put it in the refrigerator for refrigeration.
This ensures the freshness of the oyster sauce and avoids waste.
02. Suction cup shelf
Suction cup shelves claim to make the most of kitchen space and make storage easy. However, the practicality of this shelf is greatly reduced.
Due to the design principle of the suction cup, it can easily fall off the wall, especially in a humid kitchen environment.
You may have just put your favorite spice bottle or cooking tool on it, and in the blink of an eye, it will fall to the ground with a "pop", which is distressing, and worse, if you hit someone when you fall, the consequences are unimaginable.
So, if you really need a kitchen shelf, it is advisable to choose a style that is fastened with expansion screws. While the installation process may be a little more cumbersome, it is at least safe to use.
03. Bamboo and wood seasoning storage box
The bamboo and wood seasoning storage box is loved by many people for its natural and environmentally friendly characteristics. However, there are many problems with this kind of storage box in practical use.
Due to the poor sealing of bamboo and wood materials, the seasoning placed in it is easy to agglomerate, which affects the use effect. In addition, during the wet season, bamboo is also prone to mold and even bacteria, posing a potential health threat.
Therefore, it is recommended that you pay more attention to practicality and hygiene when choosing a spice storage box. Choose materials with good sealing properties and easy to clean, such as plastic or stainless steel.
04. The windproof fire cover on the gas stove
The windproof fire cover claims to save gas, improve combustion efficiency, and make cooking more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. However, this is not the case.
First of all, the safety performance of this fire gathering cover is worrying.
Because it changes the original combustion mode of the gas stove, it may lead to insufficient gas combustion and the production of harmful gases such as carbon monoxide.
In addition, prolonged use of the fire hood may also cause damage to the gas cooktop panel and shorten its service life.
Therefore, it is recommended that you do not blindly pursue energy conservation and ignore safety.
When using a gas stove, it is important to keep it well ventilated, and it is also recommended that you regularly clean the fire holes and stove heads to ensure that the gas is fully burned.
05. Silicone sink draining basket
The silicone sink drain basket seems to be a combination of storage and drainage, but it is actually extremely chicken. Due to the low hanging position, the drainage effect is not ideal.
Every time you use the sink, water splashes into the drain basket, causing it to easily become moldy and smelly inside.
If you really need to install a storage rack in the faucet location, it is recommended to choose a faucet shelf.
Mounted directly on the faucet, the shelves use vertical space for storage, saving space in the sink and avoiding mold problems.
06. Garlic press
The garlic press once became a kitchen artifact, claiming to be able to easily press out the garlic paste and solve the garlic needs in cooking. However, the actual use effect is very disappointing.
First of all, the garlic press effect is not ideal. Especially for raw garlic, it is difficult to puree it all at once. Secondly, it is also a headache to clean.
Secondly, even if some garlic is pressed, most of the garlic will easily remain inside the garlic press, which is very troublesome to clean.
Therefore, it is recommended that you return to the traditional method of using the back of a knife or a garlic pounder to make garlic puree. Although the process is a little more tedious, at least the quality and taste of the garlic paste can be guaranteed.
07. The sink is sewn and pasted
The sink is beautiful and sewn, claiming to be able to solve the problem of moldy and black sink gaps, and make the kitchen more beautiful and hygienic. However, there is a big problem with this kind of beauty stitching itself.
Due to the material and viscose, the sink beauty sewing sticker is easy to mold.
In some cases, it even molds faster than the original glass glue! When you find that the beauty sewing sticker has become moldy and black, you can only tear it off helplessly.
To make matters worse, when the patches are removed, there are still adhesive marks that are difficult to remove.
Therefore, it is recommended that you do not easily try this seemingly beautiful and practical sink beauty sewing sticker.
If you really need to solve the problem of mold in the sink crevices, you can consider using high-quality mold-resistant glass glue, and clean and re-glue it regularly.
08. Nano cleaning balls
The Nano Cleaning Ball claims to be able to effectively remove dirt without damaging the bottom of the pot, so that the oil will decompose when it encounters water, making it easy to clean kitchenware. However, the actual results vary widely.
During use, the nano cleaning ball is easily contaminated with oil and is difficult to clean.
When you find that the cleaning ball has become greasy, you have no choice but to discard it. What's more, this cleaning ball may cause scratches or damage to the surface of the kitchenware during the cleaning process.
Therefore, it is advisable for everyone to be more cautious when choosing kitchen cleaning tools.
You can choose soft, easy-to-clean materials such as sponges or cloth cleaning cloths, and of course I personally prefer loofahs, which are free and easy to use!
Finally, write a small summary:
In short, there are countless kitchen supplies that "who buys and who regrets", and everyone must keep their eyes open and consume rationally when purchasing.
Don't be fooled by flashy advertising words and exaggerated publicity, and pay attention to the practicality and cost-effectiveness of the product. Only in this way can we make the kitchen more tidy, functional and warm!
