You're better off tossing all your wooden spoons. Originally maple was used to made wooden spoons, as it's pretty much the only antimicrobial wood there is, nonreactive and sturdy, and wouldn't scratch bowls or pans. Good butcher blocks are made of solid maple. But wooden spoons now are made of questionable woods and imported from China. You're better off with silicone utensils, which are totally inert, non-reactive, don't burn or conduct heat, don't absorb odors and won't scratch your good bowls and pans. They also don't collect germs or odors like wood does.

What are the uses of a pastry brush?
Pastry brushes are used in cooking to apply a liquid to a solid, similar to how a painter would use a paint brush. The difference is what liquid is applied and what solid it is applied to.
One of the most common uses for a pastry brush is to apply an "egg wash" (one egg beaten in one tablespoon of water) to the outside surface of a pie crust or bread. Other uses include spreading melted butter on a baked item (rolls and pastries are the most common surfaces for this), or to apply food coloring or decoration to a cake or other confection. However, you can use a pastry brush for pretty much anything, including spreading a marinade or sauce on meats, basting a roast or whole bird in its juices during cooking, or pretty much anything else that involves moving a liquid around.
Why is it important to clean and sanitize all the kitchen utensils before and after use?
so you don't get any harmful germs in your cooking
A colander is a strainer used for pasta and vegetables to drain off water or other liquid.
A colander is a strainer used for pasta and vegetables to drain off water or other liquid while keeping the items from falling in the sink.
it could be used to separate solid from liquids such as draining noodles, or to hold small fruits or veggies while they are rinsed.
it could also be put in a pan after water is added and then filled with vegetables to be steamed.
It can be used to drain out the unwanted dirt/mud/soil particles off of a bunch of leafy vegetable like spinach, fenugreek etc. while washing these under running water.
A colander is used for draining off liquids and rinsing food like spaghetti. The colander has holes in the bottom so that the liquid can pass through.
Colanders are used to strain water while cooking. For example, if one is having macaroni for dinner, the macaroni is usually cooked in boiling water. One would need a way to get the water out of the pan without losing the macaroni in the process.
-A colander is a bowl with many small holes or perforations in it, which allows you to
drain the water out of something that you are cooking, such as spaghetti.

Cooking pots are usually opaque.

The modern rolling pin was not invented by a woman. It was invented by a John W. Reed in 1864. Rolling pin type objects have been in use since the 9th century bc. I think it would be safe to say that at that length of time, the absolute original inventor has been lost to the ages.

When was the first can opener invented?
-This was taken from Wikipedia-
During the first years of the French Revolutionary Wars, the notable French newspaper Le Monde, prompted by the government, offered a hefty cash award of 12,000 francs to any inventor who could come up with a cheap and effective method of preserving large amounts of food. The new, larger armies of the period required increased, regular supplies of quality food; limitations on food availability were among the factors restricting effective military campaigns to the summer and fall months. In 1809, the French confectioner Nicolas François Appert observed that food cooked inside a jar did not spoil unless the seals leak, thus developed a method of sealing food inside glass jars. The reason why food did not spoil was unknown at the time, since it would be another 50 years before Louis Pasteur demonstrated the role of microbes in food spoilage. However, glass containers presented challenges for transportation. Glass jars were largely replaced in commercial canneries with cylindrical tin or wrought-iron canisters (later shortened to "cans") following the work of Peter Durand (1810). Cans are both cheaper and quicker to make and much more resilient than fragile glass jars. Glass jars have, however, remained popular for some high-value products and in home canning.[1] Tin-openers were not to be invented for another thirty years - at first, soldiers had to cut the cans open with bayonets or smash them open with rocks. The French Army began experimenting with issuing tinned foods to its soldiers, but the slow process of tinning foods and the even slower development and transport stages prevented the army from shipping large amounts around the French Empire, and the war ended before the process could be perfected. Unfortunately for Appert, the factory which he had built with his prize money was burned down in 1814 by Allied soldiers invading France. Following the end of the Napoleonic Wars, the canning process was gradually put into practice in other European countries and in the United States. Based on Appert's methods of food preservation, Peter Durand patented a process in the United Kingdom in 1810, developing a process of packaging food in sealed airtight wrought-iron cans. Initially, the canning process was slow and labour-intensive, as each can had to be hand-made and took up to six hours to cook properly, making tinned food too expensive for ordinary people to buy. In 1824 meats and stews produced by the Appert method were carried by Sir William Edward Parry in his voyage to find a northwestern passage to India.

Does an electric can opener attract to magnets?
Yes. In some cases, a magnet is a very useful tool to use with a can opener, because Without the magnet, the cut open can lid can fall into the can and it's difficult to get it out. With the magnet, once the can lid is cut open, it sticks to the magnet and does not fall into the can. Without the magnet, it's probably better to only cut open the can lid about 90% percent and pull the remaining part back, so it does not fall into the open can.

Who invented the can and the can opener and in which year?
Somewhere around 1772 , the first can openers were patented only in 1855 in England and in 1858 in the United States. Those openers were basically variations of a knife, and the 1855 design continues to be produced. The first opener employing the now familiar sharp rotating wheel, which runs around the can's rim cutting the lid, was invented in 1870 but was difficult to operate. A breakthrough came in 1925 when a second, serrated wheel was added to hold the cutting wheel on the rim of the can. This easy to use design has become one of the most popular can opener models.
The fruit has an odor (faintly like an orange), but is inedible for the most part. Although it is not strongly poisonous, eating it may cause vomiting. The seeds of the fruit are edible. The fruit is sometimes torn apart by squirrels to get at the seeds, but few other native animals make use of it as a food source.
