George home non- stick wok

I have been using non-stick frying Pans for over 20 years, from Tefal aluminium with teflon coating to M&S stainless with teflon coating, they weren’t cheap, after using few months, the coating started coming off, it worries me the poison from teflon.

I searched for material for the carbon steel which is safer

I saw this non-stick carbon steel wok in ASDA, it was on special only £4.00, I got to try it.

First 2 weeks, it was none-stick, but after that it started sticking, the coating is not teflon, it’s carbon, no needed to worry about the poison, but I was annoyed with the food stick on the wok.

You can see the wok become no , I found the way to keep it non-stick is preheat the wok, then turn the gas off, put the oil to Moisturizing the wok

When the oil covers the area you want to cook, leave it for a bit, maybe 20 seconds, then turn the gas on, start cooking.

For clearning, when the wok still warm, put the water and use sponge to scrub it.

But if you leave it, when it’s cold, some food crumbs or sauce will stick, then put hot water and turn the gas on until you see smoke from water, then turn it off, use spatula to scrub the sticking food which is easy to come off.

VITALITY- HAIR ENVY

My husband’s hair is getting less, but not bald yet.

I saw VITSLITY HAIR ENVY advertisement on Facebook with lots of good feedback messages, I decided to buy it and get my husband to try.

My husband has been use it everyday for 3 weeks so far, I can’t see any difference.

I doubt on the positive messages, not even one negative message, how come ? Nothing’s 100% suitable for everyone.

I left a message to tell them there’s no difference for husband, then my message has been deleted, so….if you are thinking about to buy it, please think again.

Mayflower Chinese style Curry Sauce Mix

I always like Japanese curry, I found this Curry Sauce Mix, only 99P in B&M, worthy to try

When I opened it, there was a container, I felt a bit strange, no sealed plastic bag outside to protect it from damp, it worries me about is it safe to use?

I opened the lid, it’s curry powder, so I boiled 1 Kg of Chicken breast, 2 big Potatoes, 500g of Carrots, 3 large Onions , of course chopped them to easy to eat sizes, the water just enough to cover all the ingredients.

When Potatoes were soft, means everything was cooked, then I poured some cold water mix them, so the temperature wasn’t too hot, then put all curry powder in and mix them in low heat, personally I like a bit sweet and spicy, so I added 1 tablespoon honey and a bit chilli powder, it tasted so nice.

I suggest don’t put all curry powder in once, put bit by bit to taste until the taste is you want.

So far I bought 5 boxes already, hope you enjoy it as we do.

4 Drawer storage

I checked ebay, Amazon and other websites, the similar drawers cost about 40 pounds, I don’t think it’s worthy.

2 days ago, I went to B&M, I saw this on special price only £18, so I bought it.

This size perfectly fit the gap, but I have to open the drawers from the side, I wasn’t sure can it do that.

Follow instructions and built the first part.

The drawers are easy to build, so I don’t take photos.

Clear Plastic Shoe Storage Box Drawer

I want to put some drawers in the wardrobe, but I couldn’t find suitable size, so I think maybe I should try the plastic shoe box drawer.

Remove the small squares to make some holes

Turn it upside down, then remove the blue films from the metal edges, most of them are uneasy to remove, they hurt my thumbs.

After removing the blue films, the silver metal bars appeared.

Then I started to do the drawers, it came with flat pack.

Put the white L counter brackets and click on for making the box stranger, then put out this as picture for staking the box.

Both sides need to connect, but if you just want a single box, then no need to do this.

The boxers aren’t strong to put too heavy stuff, but for clothing is OK.

IKEA BRIMNES WARDROBE

I bought this wardrobe for my son’s bedroom, it’s nice but it needs a good space to build up. H 190cm x D 50cm x W 117cm

I built in my bedroom first, because I have enough space to build it, but when I finished the structure, it’s too wide, I couldn’t move to my son’s bedroom.

You need to have a space bigger than wardrobe to build it.

How beautiful it was when I finished the structure in my bedroom

When I tried to move it, then horrible things happened, I DAMAGED the wardrobe

Most of the screw holes have been like this picture, some even worse, I couldn’t face it.

What can I do? IKEA won’t accept returns due to my fault, the only way is to fix it.

But how? I’ve been thinking over and over, an idea came up, maybe L brackets will do, so I ordered some L brackets on ebay.

During waiting for the L brackets to arrive, I moved all book shelves and othe stuffs from my son’s bedroom to somewhere else for keeping enough space to rebuild the wardrobe in his room.

I’m glad his room just has enough space to build it.

I use L brackets to fix the damaged screw holes to hold the boards together, they are strong as well

I finished the wardrobe finally.

GGEORGE FOREMAN Grill

I have this George Foreman Grill for nearly half a year.

I use it for indoor BBQ, when the weather is bad, we still can have BBQ inside the house, I use it nearly every Sunday for our Sunday dinner, so far so good.

It only have 4 parts, stack them, the right black frame is the base

The middle is a tray for receiving the fat, juice or sauce dripping from food, I used to put foils on top, just in cause it sticks, I did it for few times, but one day, I forgot to do so, it didn’t stick, easy to wash off the stain, since then, I never put foils on, you can see it still looks new from the picture I just took.
