The ultimate winter foods to gorge on!

Covered up in warm woollens from head to toe, winters make everyone lazy and long for food (something to keep munching on- be it their favourite dish or snack). And the best way to enjoy the weather is to binge on your favourite comfort food. Hot savouries, sweets and cup of coffee & tea keep you warm. It is too cold to diet the next few months, so stay cozy and order delicacies you simply cannot get enough of during this time of the year.  Celebrate the season of festivities and chilly winds with amazing food and beverages this winter.

We’ve pulled together some meals and beverages for you to eat over the coming months. We are sure you must be aware of these but to remind you of them is what we thought. Binge on your comfort food and enjoy the weather with these ultimate dishes –

Soup

The best comfort food. Just the thought of a nice, warm, slurpy bowl of goodness soothes our body and soul. So throw your favourite ingredients into a pot, cook until the concoction is glazy and enjoy with some lovely fresh bread.

Momos and Thukpa

Thukpa is becoming one of our favourite winter staples. Order thupka from restaurant near you and step outside with this hot bowl and a side of spicy momos and soak yourself in the winter breeze. The weather’s too good to stay indoors and you know it. Laze around and binge on this warm savoury.

Sweet Potatoes

Super delicious and very versatile, add a nice little dip on the side and they become the perfect snack to munch on with your friends. Be a couch potato and enjoy the weather.

Pakodey and Chai

Nothing can beat this combo, no person exists who doesn’t love this. Pakodas, chai, a great book and some good music are perfect to spend your day with. Order your favourite Chai and pakoda from Chaayos and you are all sorted.

Pancakes and Hot Chocolate

You can call hot chocolate paradise in a mug. It’s so unreal, chocolaty and creamy. We all love a hot breakfast in the winters and there’s nothing like a stack of hot pancakes with a steaming cup of cocoa to go with it. The caloric pleasure you must gorge on this winter.

Dry Fruits

Call yourself a muncher! Who isn’t, winters make everyone a muncher.  It is the perfect winter indulgence and is so light that you can eat all day long. So snack on them and get all that heat and energy you want.

Spicy curries

Spicy food is our weakness anyway, but winters are the time when we officially long for hotness ;-).  A hot bowl of spice-infused curry with subtle hint of turmeric, and cumin will definitely makes us happy. Now hand us a hot bowl of fluffy rice and leave us to our meal.

 Nothing can beat the pleasure of comfort of home and hot food by my side. Now gorge on these delicious varieties and don’t forget to like us on facebook – https://www.facebook.com/KraftAppliances and on Instagram – @kraftappliances 🙂

Happy winters guys!

Dry Iron Vs Steam Iron – Which one would you opt for?

Ironing the wrinkles and creases, gliding through your laundry pile are the Irons. Two different types of irons — steam and dry — can get the job done, but some fabrics are better suited to either one or the other.

Dry Iron

Dry irons are now the old-fashioned, classic type of iron. Its simplicity lies in only having to adjust the temperature of the iron depending upon the type of fabric. The benefit of the dry iron is that as long as it is never left unattended and monitored carefully while in use, it will not likely ever cause harm to your garments. Nowadays, the dry iron can be harder to find and is sometime more expensive. However, for some fabrics, such as silk, dry irons are the only option.

Steam Iron

Steam irons are today’s standard iron; they are quicker, cheaper and easier to find. They also usually have the ability to either be used as a dry iron or a steam iron, depending on the project at hand. Steam irons are known to work quicker to release wrinkles and are more effective on bigger items. They can be more complicated to use than dry irons because you not only adjust the temperature but also the amount of steam being used. Wools will need much more steam than most average items of clothing, for example. However, as with dry irons, steam can damage certain types of fabric and must be monitored carefully.

Take the time to test your iron on different fabrics and types of clothing to determine which setting is best for each. Never use the steam iron on any fabric, especially silk, without checking the tag to see what can and cannot be used for each article of clothing.

Don’t forget to follow these simple steps and choose the right IRON for your fabric. Still confused? You could visit http://www.vinodcookware.com and get more info to help you take the right decision.

• Like other appliances let your iron cool and than you could clean it – Am sure this advice shall be diligently followed to avoid the nasty burns. You could use a damp cloth with ammonia to clean it
• You could also Clean the insides with vinegar and water. A simple one part vinegar/one part water solution should be added to the reservoir. Once it is added, steam the iron for about five minutes, drain the solution and repeat the process with water only.
• If you notice a white build up around the steam vent, your iron needs descaling. This is similar to the earlier tip on cleaning the reservoir, but varies a bit. Empty the water in your iron. Turn your iron on to the “cotton” setting.  Make a mixture of one part vinegar to two parts distilled water.  Add the mixture to your iron. Turn the iron off and drain the mixture out. Repeat the process using only distilled water. If there is still a build up, repeat as necessary.

These simple steps can keep your steam iron running great for years to come!
