Japanese Kitchen Tools : Multi Eco Stand

Categorised in: | Link of this article

Do you have leftover food scraps scattered all over your workbench while cooking? In such cases, I would like to recommend this Multi-Eco Stand. I love it so much that I use it every time I use it on my recipe video channel. If you don’t like to use plastic bags, I recommend covering them with bags made of newspaper or paper. Aside from being a trash can, it can also be used as a holder to dry glasses, cups, etc. It can be folded compactly for easy storage.

Bananas can be stored for 3-4 days by hanging them on hooks, as they begin to damage from the surface they touch. It is recommended not to cut and eat the part near the base of the bunch, as pesticides tend to remain.

Japanese Kitchen Tools : Drop Lid

Categorised in: | Link of this article

In Japan, we use this drop Lid called “Otoshibuta” when we cook simmered or stir-fried dishes. People sometimes use wooden ones or cooking sheets, but I like this product because it can be easily adjusted to fit the size of my pots and pans. Regardless of its appearance, it is also easy to wash. It’s thin and small and it’s also convenient for storage.

Japanese Kitchen Tools : Miso Muddler

Categorised in: | Link of this article

When you are cooking, do you ever have a lot of things out on the cooking table and before you know it, they are all in a mess?

This is especially true when you are cooking something you don’t usually cook or when you are cooking a recipe for the first time. In such cases, I would like to recommend this cooking utensil.

I used to make miso soup with chopsticks in my right hand and a spoon in my left, and it took a long time to dissolve the miso. However, since I started using this miso muddler, I can cook with only one hand, and miso dissolves quickly in the broth, making the cooking time shorter. You can measure the larger one as 2 tablespoons and the smaller one as 1 tablespoon.

It is called a miso muddler, but it is useful not only for making miso soup, but also for making homemade dressing, mixing eggs, making pastries, and stirring little things. I really recommend this kitchen tool!

Categorised in: | Link of this article

In this short video, I will show you how to store carrots in the freezer. The recommended method is to slice carrots diagonally into thin slices, then cut them lengthwise into small pieces. Then, wrap them in plastic wrap in appropriate quantities and freeze them. When cooking, you can make kinpira gobo, baked goods, pickles, etc. without thawing.

Japanese Kitchen Tools : Exhaust Port Cover

Categorised in: | Link of this article

I had given up on the idea that there was nothing structurally to do with the area around the grill’s ventilation openings. Then I found this exhaust port cover (vent cover), which hides the hole so that I don’t need to worry about some food getting into the hole while cooking or cleaning. What’s more, it’s sturdy enough not to dent no matter what you put on it, and height enough not to get in the way while cooking!

Chinese cabbage is a vegetable rich in potassium, vitamin C, fiber, and other nutrients. It is also effective for weight loss because 95% of its total content is water and it is low in carbohydrates.

Japanese Kitchen Tools : Freestanding Lid

Categorised in: | Link of this article


Have you ever had trouble finding a place to put a lid while cooking? Especially if you don’t have a place to stand it against a wall or something.

If your cooking table is small, you will run out of space just to put the lid on the table. And it gets dirty over a wide area, doesn’t it?

This freestanding lid can be placed quickly and easily, takes up little space, and is easy to clean because water droplets fall in one place. We use it in our cooking classes, and everyone is impressed. It makes cooking time more enjoyable and comfortable!
