Sometimes the addition of just a couple of things can have a great impact, both in terms of looks and functionality How to choose bathroom accessories Bathroom accessories need to be selected with care and attention keeping in mind the following: Size of your space: Bathrooms in most homes are the smallest rooms in the house, so stuffing them with too many things is a bad idea. Choose only what the space can accommodate without looking overdone. In small bathrooms, it is a good idea to have a lot of wall mounted fixtures and accessories to optimize space. Specific needs: You might like to read a book or have a glass of wine while soaking in the bathtub. A bathtub caddy will be very handy for you. Choose accessories that cater to your personal needs. Theme: Decide if you want a theme for your bathroom. If you do then all accessories that you buy for this space will have to be in synch with the overall design scheme. Material used: The bathroom is a wet area. Accessories used here will be constantly exposed to moisture and dampness. Make sure they are made with durable, water resistant and dust proof material. Functional bathroom accessories, decorative ones or both Before buying accessories for your bathroom, you need to decide whether you want a purely utilitarian space or one that is both functional and elegant. If you want to focus more on function than form, then you can opt for basic accessories that will help you wash, clean and dress in an effective manner. However if you are equally passionate about the appearance of your bathroom, your selection will be somewhat different. You will then select stylish products that look wonderful in addition to making your bathroom more organized and manageable.

For some, the it is a haven of tranquility, away from the hustle and bustle of frantic everyday activities. For others it is simply an unavoidable part of their daily routine. Irrespective of their needs, most want their bathrooms to be efficient and beautiful. At the same time, they recognize that attractive decorating accessories for the washroom can make their experiences that much more pleasant. That is why three factors are especially important in planning bathrooms: atmosphere, usefulness and efficiency. How to choose the perfect accessory for your washroom. Choosing the bathroom accessory is of the utmost importance. Bear in mind that constant attacks by humidity make bathrooms especially vulnerable and likely to deteriorate faster than any other room in the house. Likewise, accessories that are found in the bathroom need to be built of materials resistant to moisture, and should be hardwearing enough to last you a long time. Stainless steel, porcelain plastic and acrylic all exhibit these properties. Paint must also be chosen with the same criteria in mind. Talk with a specialist to help you choose the right bathroom paints. And state-of-the-art application of the paint will save you much aggravation over time. Likewise, a quick consultation with an advisor will help you select the quality accessories you need. Decorating your bathroom with the right accessory set • Bathrooms are often small, accessories must therefore be purchased on the basis both the available space and the desired effect. They also need to be arranged harmoniously and efficiently. •  Bathroom hardware such as soap dishes , toothbrush holders , trash cans , shower curtain rods , bath towels and others must satisfy both practical and decorative needs. •  Shower curtains are an important part of bathrooms equipped with bath showers. Use them to refine your seasonal decor for example by alternating rich fabric curtains over the same waterproof plastic liner. You can also overlay different fabrics to personalize the design of your shower curtain. •  Generally, less expensive shower curtains are made of a single waterproof fabric, printed in strong colors while better curtains offer more choices. Depending on quality, shower curtains may last for years or barely make it through a few months. In the end, it is matter of quality. Using Contemporary accessories for your bathroom Bath towels serve as excellent bathroom decor elements. They can be in colors that match those of the shower curtain or complement them. Or they can match or complement the colors of the window curtains. Or they can contrast the curtains or the walls. Or you can customize them by adding a fabric border that matches a part of your decor. If you've ever had the privilege of spending a day at the spa, you know that so much of the relaxing experience lies in the details.

Thus, candles are lit, soft music is played, and relaxing scents waft gently through the air. You can do much of this at home if you create the right bathroom environment. Although most of us think of the bathroom as the place where we scurry to get ready in the morning, a few simple adjustments can transform it from locker room to luxury locale.

Things you should take into consideration in your bathroom design. • The size of the bathroom. Make sure that the bathroom fixtures (such as bathroom mirrors, towel bars) you choose are the right size in relation to the size of the bathroom. Many people tend to buy a bathroom fixture because they like it and when they look at it they realize it is too big for the bathroom. • The user of the bathroom. Bathrooms used by adults (either parents or guests) and children have different requirements. For kid’s bathroom, safety will be your primary concern in bathroom design. Use shatterproof acrylic or plastic bathroom accessories, such as toothbrush holders and drinking cups. Rounded corners and edges, non-slip backings on rugs and grab bars in the shower or bath are also important. • The bathroom decor theme. An easy way to personalize your bathroom is by decorating with a theme (beach, animal, classic, country, elegant, ultra modern, etc). Also, having a theme in mind will help guide your bathroom design. Once you have determined your bathroom decor theme, just choose the theme-related bathroom accessories to turn your bathroom into a spa-like respite or a tropical paradise or what ever you like. • Budget.

Bathroom mirrors generate a look of added space and elegance. • Take advantage of towel racks and towel racks. You can use some of them to put up fancy towels for show that will really pick up the appearance of the bathroom and highlight the colors that you used in your bathroom design. • Bathroom shower curtains offer an affordable way to instantly freshen up a dull looking bathroom. Curtains for shower come a huge variety of designs and colors. If you've got a specific theme to your bathroom decor, you should be able to find a design to fit in. Aquatic, nautical and beach themed curtains are very popular. For kids, colorful prints of dolphins, frogs and rubber ducks are a favorite. You could add a touch of elegance or a splash of fun to your shower times with your choice of curtain. • Adding new wallpaper is a pretty good and inexpensive way to decorate your bathroom. All you need to do is to add a few rugs and towels that go along with the wallpaper and your entire bathroom will look different. • Lights with a dimmer are a good choice for bathroom decor because this will allow you to have brighter light when you need it, like for shaving or applying makeup, and you'll also be able to dim the lights for a relaxing bath. • Plants are also great in bathroom decorating. There are many types of houseplants that will thrive in the bathroom. Adding even a small touch of greenery can bring in a little life, and the pot you choose for the plant can also add its own decorative touch. • Scented candles are simple but useful bathroom decors which can add so much to a bathroom.

If you would like to make your bathroom appear spacious as well as elegant, there are many different ways to accomplish this by harmoniously combining various elements and accessories. • The key word of color is ‘simple’. For example, don’t use a busy wallpaper pattern, as the room will seem smaller and more cluttered. • Vertical lines add height to a room by drawing the eye upwards. Tiles that are extended to the ceiling can make a small bathroom feel larger. Painting a vertical stripe or using a similar wallpaper pattern is also a good idea. • One of the best ways to make a space appear larger when decorating a small bathroom is to incorporate mirrors. In addition to adding dimension, mirrors intensify light and emit a certain kind of radiance that complements home interiors while helping to mask wall defects. • Make sure you include adequate storage as clutter only exacerbates the problems of a small bathroom. Exposed shelves, recessed cabinets and floating cabinets are a good option, with the latter leaving more exposed floor space. • Provide a unified look in your bathroom by displaying matching bath accessories. • A lovely way to display a bar of soap or to dispense liquid soap is by incorporating a decorative soap dish or soap dispenser. There are many different styles to choose from to and it will make a decorative statement in your bathroom. • If you prefer to keep your toothbrush on top of the vanity but want to display it in a stylish manner, you may wish to place it inside a decorative toothbrush holder. • Coordinate the rest of your bathroom ensemble with a matching tumbler. Not only is it functional, but it looks pretty on top of a bathroom vanity. • Decorative fixtures such (as towel bar, towel ring, bathroom shelf) adds a lot of beauty and elegance to a bathroom. It can really dress up a bare wall and bring the bathroom to life. Browse our selection and choose the one you like.

Who can resist dipping delicious food in mouthwatering melted cheese or creamy chocolate that makes it even tastier? Fondue was very fashinable in the 60’s and 70’s but then somehow lost its appeal in the following decades. It has made a resurgence in recent times and is becoming increasingly popular as fun party food! I Read more... What is fondue? Fondue is derived from the French word "fondre" which means to melt. The thing that usually melts is cheese or chocolate. Fondue is typically relished by picking up special dipping ingredients with a fork and dipping it into the cheese or chocolate mixture. Each type of fondue has its own special ingredients – French bread pieces, meat chunks and vegetable pieces for the cheese fondue and fruits, small cakes and cookies for the chocolate fondue. There is another kind of fondue called hot oil fondue for dipping meats, chicken and seafood. This fondue is accompanied by sauces served in small bowls. There is also a healthier version of this fondue which uses broth instead of oil. This gives the meat a wonderful flavor without adding on extra calories. How do you eat fondue? The entire process is easy and exciting. Pick up one of the dipping ingredients with a fondue fork or a skewer, dip it into the melted cheese or chocolate. Let the extra liquid drain off. Let it cool and enjoy! Drinks that are traditionally served with fondue are wine and hot tea but since it is such an informal, fun filled affair, you don’t need to restrict yourself to these. You can drink just anything you desire. Why is fondue so popular? Fondue has a lot of things going in its favor. • The food is delectable. • It’s a different, exciting and more informal way to eat which everyone can enjoy. • Everyone gets together to relish the food. There’s closer interaction and a lot more conversation. • It’s a versatile way of eating – perfect for a romantic meal, a cozy get together for friends and also a great kids’ party. • Its hassle free, simple cooking. All you need is the fondue (one or more) dipping ingredients and some drinks and your entire menu for the evening is taken care of. You needn’t even provide plates if you don’t want to. What do you need to enjoy fondue? Good food is a must of course. But fondue can be truly enjoyed with the right fondue equipment. It would be great if you could get a good quality fondue set. This typically comprises of a fondue pot with a heating source and a set of fondue forks. A fondue pot, the most important part of the set, is a large pot that keeps cheese or chocolate warm and in a melted state. If you don’t have a fondue set, you can buy just a fondue pot and use bamboo skewers as fondue forks. But it’s nice to own a classy fondue set which you can use time and again to host wonderful fondue parties. Type of Fondue Pots Fondue pots come in various styles but essentially there are 3 kinds depending on the heating source and the size of the pot. Electric Pot Electric Pot – These are very popular fondue pots which work for any kind of fondue. They are easy to use as you don’t have to worry about the heating source. They are also easy to clean as they have non stick interiors. Sterno Pot Sterno Pot – These are completely portable as there are no electric wires limiting its reach. Great for the outdoors as well! A sterno unit can work for many hours at a stretch. Tea Light Pot Tea Light Pot – This uses a tea light as the source of light. Of course you will need to use many tea lights through the evening but these are inexpensive and work pretty effectively. Tea light pots work very well with chocolate fondue. Don’t try using them for a meat fondue though. Whatever the kind of pot you buy, it’s going to help you make a great fondue. If you love hosting fondue parties, you could collect all the different kinds of pots.

They do all it takes to keep slim, fit and agile. More and more people are working out and eating right. Salads are synonymous with good health. Salads are not only the fillers with minimal calories that keep us away from eating large portions of the higher calorie foods but also are a rich source of minerals and vitamins as they are made out of fresh , raw vegetables and fruits. Dieters, diabetics and healthy lifestylers all swear by the importance of salads in their daily meals. Salads made out of low calorie greens and made attractive with the use of multi-colored peppers, red onion and carrots are foods with practically no calories. Of course, you can add flavor, and a few calories alongside, with the use of raisins, pickles, or sliced beets. Read more... Salads are in! When anyone talks about eating right, the first thing that comes to mind is salads. Salads have always been found on most dinner table in homes across the world, but they have never enjoyed the kind of popularity as they do now. Health freaks swear by them. Their meals have more of salads and less of everything else. Even those who are not so obsessed with keeping fit appreciate their benefits and try to incorporate them into every meal. How to serve salads? Though there is are no set rules about serving salads, the done thing is to serve salad in a salad bowl especially if you are entertaining people. Salads look doubly appetizing and appealing if they are served in an attractive bowl crafted specially for this purpose. In restaurants, salads are always laid out in a very aesthetic manner served in beautiful bowls that enhance their appeal. Salad bowls are incomplete without salad servers commonly called salad spoons. These are not just spoons; they could be large forks, or tongs or any other kind of salad servers. As the name suggest, these are used to serve the salad and are an indispensable part of the salad serving process. Salad bowls complement salads beautifully A salad bowl is a lot shallower as compared to other kinds of commonly use bowls. It is usually big and circular in shape though other unusual shapes are also sometimes seen. Salad bowls are deep enough to hold salad greens and big enough to toss and mix the salad ingredients. A salad is a lot about presentation as it is about preparation. If it doesn’t look good, chances are, it won’t be eaten. To serve a salad artistically, the first thing you need to do is to choose a beautiful salad bowl. Salad bowls come in a variety of materials, designs and sizes. The all time favorite is the wooden salad bowl. These wooden bowls, specially the handcrafted ones, have a great visual appeal and can enhance the appearance of even the most ordinary salad. Wooden salad bowls are typically crafted out of hardwood like ash, maple cherry and walnut and are tough and long lasting in addition to being very striking in appearance. Salad bowls also come in other materials like plastic, stainless steel and glass which are also quite popular thanks to their innovative designs and unique styling. Salad bowls normally come in 4 sizes: large, medium, small and individual. The large bowl can serve 8-12 people, the medium serves 6-8 people, the small is ideal for 4-6 people and the individual one is of course for one person only. You can choose your size depending on how many people you need to cater to. You could also opt for different sizes, using the smaller ones for everyday use and reserving the large ones for when you have people over. Serve with style using Salad Spoons Salad spoons encompass a wide range of salad servers. These are typically oversized spoons, forks, tongs, salad hands or anything else that can be used to serve the salad. No salad can be properly served without salad spoons. Regular cutlery would be too small and serving spoons cannot handle the greens well. Salad spoons are just the right size and shape to grasp all the salad ingredients and give you a complete salad serving in one go. Salad spoons are usually coordinated with the salad bowl to provide a homogeneous look to the setting. Wooden servers go well with wooden bowls, stainless steel ones complement steel bowls and plastic spoons are used with plastic bowls. With glass bowls anything can be used as glass has a neutral appearance and it can match anything. Tempting Salads for the palate! Gone are the days when salads were perceived as a drab looking preparation with no flavor or tang to tickle the taste buds. Salads are no longer considered just the food for the health conscious. The salads served these days are a delicacy in themselves. Fresh, flavorful and tangy, salads are now one of the most desired items on the dining. Tickle the taste buds of your guests by paying careful attention to the color and appearance of your salads. Try combining different color vegetables such as red cabbage, multi-colored peppers, snow peas, carrots and beets for a really dramatic effect. So immense is the importance given to salads that a hostess’s skill is ascertained not by the dishes of the main course that she cooks but by the delicious salads she serves with the meal. Dress your salads less! Half the purpose of eating salads is defeated if you are going to dress your salads with creamy, cheesy dressings. The rich dressings will surely enhance the flavor of salads but will contribute fat and calories to it. Alternately, one may use fat free dressings such as vegetable or olive oil, flavorful vinegar, fresh lemons, limes, oranges or even fat free, diet salad dressings. The best way to sell healthy foods is to make them as scrumptious as the calorie rich foods. All of us wish that our children could munch on the raw veggies and fruits with delight. Sell your salads as a tempting dish and you have a winner on hand! Salads; plain and exotic Salads have no limitations, in terms of taste and ingredients. Since the choice of ingredients that we can use for a salad is so varied, the taste of the salad varies accordingly. Salads also need not be served at the start of the meal. A salad can be a complete meal in itself, if the ingredients are chosen carefully. Use your instincts to create a salad that is not only filling, but great tasting too. Pick up recipes from a book or the internet or just use your imagination to make salads that will tempt your family to indulge in balanced, healthy eating. With the right mix of ingredients, you can make a salad that is so rich in minerals and vitamins that a single helping of the salad will take care of your nutritional needs for the day. Salads; how’s that for a starter! Visual appeal, combined with intrinsic quality, is always the best way to attract attention and win praise. When served in style, your salads will win the accolades they deserve. Serve your salads in stylish salad bowls to make them the centerpiece of your dining.

Guide to buying serving trays With the growing popularity of gourmet food, there is a flourishing market for the serving ware for food. An insightful buyer is able to pick what best suits his needs. Here are a few pointers for those of us who sometimes feel lost when confronted with a plethora of choices. • Always consider the specific usage of a serving tray before you buy it. A serving tray in which you serve wine will be different from the one in which you serve appetizers in terms of size and style. • Choose the material of the tray based on the food item you want to serve on it. For instance, don’t choose a wooden tray if you want to serve lots of liquids on it. The repeated spills may damage the wood. • Choose the serving trays that complement your home décor. If you are a lover of wood and your home flaunts wooden furnishings, then stylish wooden trays are all that you need for a perfect spread. • when choosing a serving tray, keep in mind the occasion where you will be using the serving tray; while a plastic serving tray will be perfect for an informal get together or an outdoor party, a metal or glass tray is more appropriate for a formal dinner party. • Always keep in mind the size of the portions you want to serve on the serving tray to determine the size of the tray you wish to buy. If you wish to serve more than one snack in a serving tray, choose the one with dividers. Certain trays these days come with removable sections. At Vital Wares, we have a wide variety of serving trays that will fulfill your pre-requisites of buying a tray.

Importance of bar accessories The inevitable part of a bar is its accessories. Its importance lies in serving your drinks with class, proper bar equipments are crucial for catering drinks in a bar. In absence of proper bar ware, a great deal of cacophony may be created when orders build up in the kitchen and you are not well equipped to serve them all and are scrabbling around looking for cutlery. Types of Bars and their barware Wine preparation and tasting is a tradition of elegance. It is an intricate and highly evolved practice where a number of factors like the temperature and aeration of the wine relates to its flavor. A wine connoisseur knows that for obtaining the perfect taste everything and everyone in and around the bar should participate. Depending on the types of consumers and the purpose of usage, bars and their barware are of many varieties. In older days, a bar comprised merely of a table, some stools, wine glasses and wine bottles. But now, equipping your bar with all the right bar accessories is about more than a table and a couple of stools. Today bars may include everything from sophisticated wine chillers and refrigerators to oak glass racks, steel sinks and custom made furniture. The common types of bars and their accessories are: • DESIGNER BARS AND THEIR DECORATIVE BAR ACCESSORIES Designer bars are primarily used as home bars and they contain a more casual and relaxing atmosphere around them. These types of bars were the ones which replaced the association of wine with only the upscale clientele or people of the high social class and brought it in the comforts of the home of common people. Very pretty to look, these bars have an environment that lends itself to a good socializing setting with family and friends and provides a more intimate appeal. The accessories in designer bars are placed according to the current decorating scheme and include- •  Wine Racks - These racks can store wine bottles in an attractive and organized manner. Available in a wide variety of styles, most of them are made from different types of hardwood or from metals like steel or wrought iron. Some of them are quite large and exist as free standing shelf while some are small enough to fit in a cabinet. Some wine racks are built to be hanged in a suspended form in places where space is limited, like a kitchen. Wine racks make it easy for you to find any specific bottle that you need. • Wine refrigerator - For the consumption of chilled drinks that are needed frequently particularly during summers, nothing is more convenient than a wine chiller for the purpose. These are separate refrigerators where you can keep a large number of bottles, ready to go and you do not need to clutter them up in your main refrigerator. These refrigerators also allow you to set your own custom temperature thereby letting your wine bottles cool exactly according to your needs. • Wine thermometer - These thermometers enable you to know if your wine is at the perfect temperature without being dipped into the glass of wine. These ones also known as “at a distance thermometers” can register the temperature of a glass from a few inches away. •  Wine coasters - To avoid that drip of collected condense of a chilled wine glass on its surface onto the table below, these coasters come in handy. Larger in size than the drink coasters, these are sized to fit around the bottom of your table. • Drop Stop - It is a thin cylinder that fits into the mouth of the wine bottle and prevents spill. It is so designed that the wine can be directly funneled through the spout into the glass without a single drop of spillage. •  Void Pumps - For bottles opened but not finished in one sitting, void pumps are of great use. They create a vacuum seal around the mouth of the bottle stopping any air from getting into or out of the wine, thereby keeping the bottle almost as fresh as the first time you opened it. In comparison to sticking the cork back in the bottle mouth, wine kept in this way lasts longer. • Bar stools - Bar stools are the very first need of a bar. Built to ideally compliment the bar, these provide a comfortable height to the wine consumer for a functional drinking. • INDUSTRIAL BARS AND THE BAR ACCESSORIES NEEDED TO DRESS THEM UP Built for commercial use, industrial bars are intimate, sociable and inviting with industrial ceilings, overstuffed sofas and wine barrels. Ideal for partying and celebrations, these bars are also a comfortable way to enjoy when you are on your own in a new place. The accessories used are common to the designer bars - from wine totes to wine thermometers, drip collars to uncorking machines. Industrial bars offer a wine list of by-the-glass selection other than the bottled choices. The subcategories of industrial bars are: • Bar cum café - Here, the wine list rotates regularly in addition to a cuisine that is cheese or organic flatbread pizza. Nowadays, wine bars have begun to incorporate a larger variety of food choices. While traditionally cheeses and desserts are still served, wine is combined with appetizer sized typical selections to enhance the palate. 2 • Long bars or hotel lounges - These are parts of hotels. • Gantry - These are similar to designer bars. Also known as back bars, these have a set of shelves of glasses and bottles behind the counter. Some gallantries are elaborately decorated with woodwork, etched glass, mirrors, and lights. • Patio Bars - Often hidden behind the main bar, these are decked out with cabanas, sofas, chairs and an inviting fireplace. These are booked by people for private family functions or gatherings. • Apart from the above said types, some industrial bars have live bands, comedians, go-go dancers or a floor show for entertainment. Bar accessories - the perfect addition to your bar to elevate its look and feel If you combine functionality and the right look of your bar with the aid of right bar accessories, you can give a truly unique touch and add glamour to your home.

Cleaning your coasters The right drink coaster is one that is durable enough to just pop in the dishwasher. The porcelain glass coasters and plastic ones are good for the purpose. By doing so, you can keep your coasters free of bacteria. Sometimes stains on the coasters do not come off with just a damp cloth because different liquids stain the coasters in different ways. Cleaning your coasters regularly can renew their absorbent properties. You can get rid of fresh stains by washing them right away in cold water. But the more stubborn ones need a light scrubbing with a sponge or soft brush. Be careful never to use a harsh agent to scrub the surface of the coaster.

For enjoying your drink fully, you need more than just a bottle of wine. You need something that can add some serious class to your drinks and make them taste perfect. You need decanters. Decanters are vessels used to hold the decantation of wine and sometimes whisky, brandy, and water that usually contains sediment. They may also be used as serving vessels and are designed to hold a full bottle of wine. Read more... History of decanters Earlier, decanters were filled with wine from amphorae and then brought to the table where the servants served it to their masters. The Romans used glass decanters as glass was common at that period but after their fall, decanters began to be made of bronze, silver, gold and earthenware due to scarcity of glass. The venetians of the renaissance period reintroduced glass decanters, this time with a long slender neck and a wide body in order to expose the wine to maximum air for oxygenation. In the mid eighteenth century, British people added decorative stoppers to the decanters for limiting air exposure. Since then, the basic design of decanters has been the same. The importance of decanters From a casual get-together with friends to a more formal dinner party, wine decanters play a vital role in enhancing the flavor of your wine. A good wine decanter can help your wine to breathe properly and improves its quality markedly thereby maximizing the enjoyment of that wine. Wines, typically the red ones that age in bottles may grow sediment after several years. This is quite normal and is a sign that the wine is alive and natural and hasn't been excessively filtered. Decanting allows you to pour the wine into another vessel leaving the sediment in the bottle. Decanting also softens the tannins in your wine and helps to develop a more complex aroma in the wine that might normally take years. So, whether it is an age old expensive wine or a tannic, youthful one, you need to decant. Also, serving wine from a decanter no doubt adds class to the table. The science behind the functioning of decanters Decanters necessarily add a flavor to your wine and a spark to the festivities but there is a purely scientific reason behind their functioning. Before the wine has been decanted, it contains small amounts of sulfur compounds that are potent enough to cover up the fresh fruit aromas of the wine. They act as masking agents and thus hide the positive characteristics of the wine. It is the natural sulphur present in the grapes and yeasts that help them turn into wine. A bottle of wine that has not been decanted therefore contains several sulphuric compounds and is called closed wine. And a closed wine is just like a closed flower that doesn’t give you the pleasure that it can give when it is in full bloom. It is only when the petals open that its real aroma can be enjoyed. Similarly, a wine also needs to breathe in order to open up and become much more aromatic and expressive. And for it to breathe or aerate properly, it needs to be exposed to oxygen for some time. In order to do so in a proper way, a decanter comes in handy. It allows the wine to mix properly with the oxygen and oxygenate that result in the quick aging of the wine. For example, a wine that needs to be kept for 10 years to give its best flavor can do so by getting decanted in a decanter for only a few hours. Research says that for every 20 minutes in a decanter, a wine can age the same as a year in a bottle. You know very well that for a wine to be appreciated, it needs to smell its best and to do so, you either need to wait for long years with your wine in the bottles or simply a few hours with your wine in the decanters. And obviously, the second option is preferable for everyone, including you. Isn’t it? In fact, if your wine can't stand up to decanting, it can’t stand up to drinking either. How to use decanters If you use your decanters in a proper way, they can be the key to truly enjoying your wine. Simply follow the given steps and enjoy that beverage of yours that will then turn heavenly. • Decanters have been used to filter sediment laden wines for years. These sediments may occur due to the long duration of keeping the wine or non clarification during the wine making process. Before decanting a bottle containing sediment, let the bottle rest in an upright position for some time for the sediment to settle down to the bottom. • Keep the bottle angled to prevent any sediment from making its way and slowly pour the wine into the decanter. • Since older wines have a lot more sediments, they need to be poured more slowly. Also, they need to be decanted immediately before serving so that less oxidation takes place. For such wines, touch the wine bottle tip to the top of the decanter to reduce the aeration to the maximum extent. • It is better to light a candle for low-level illumination. In order to see the darker sediments, position the bottle's neck in front of the flame. • Place the decanter exactly under the lip of the bottle to pour the clarified wine. Once most of the wine has been poured into the decanter, insert a stopper to avoid spillage. It is better to leave a little wine in the original bottle with the sediments. • Swirl the wine in the decanter to provide more aeration. • A wine less than ten years old should be decanted for least an hour or two in order to oxidize with full potential. Before the guests arrive, it would be better if you check its level of aeration completion and leave it if it is not satisfactorily aerated. While consuming or serving old wines, it is preferable to insert stoppers in their bottles between the pours. • For wines with non settled fine sediment or wine bottles that have not been sitting upright and still contain dissolved sediment, light filtration is required. To do so, use food grade mesh screen funnels that are non reactive to the wines. The best option is to use a cheese cloth lined funnel during decantation as cheesecloth is inert and does not add any flavor to the wine. • If you are a drinker who wants a more controlled and subtle exposure of your wine to air, better go for double decanting. For this, at first decant the wine into the wine decanter .Then, clean the original bottle of any sediment and decant the wine back into the wine bottle. This process does not leave the wine in contact with a large surface area of air for a prolonged period but aerates the wine sufficiently for a perfect taste during the back and forth pours. Double decanting is great if you need to take your wine to your friend’s house for a wine tasting or dinner as it limits the exposure of the wine to excess air during the transportation. The need for decanters We need decanters for four prime reasons listed below: • Decanters provide aeration- Simply uncorking a bottle does not let your wine breathe properly. The bottle opening is too small for this. For a wine to stretch its legs, a broader area of contact with the air is required that is provided by the decanters. When wine breaths first after being closed in the bottle for long, it undergoes an amazing transformation in its taste and smell. A decanter can only provide this aromatic unfurling to the wine, which also smoothes some of its harsher aspects. • Decanters are vital for presentation- Besides improving the quality of wine, decanters also have an aesthetic appeal. Serving wine in a pretty decanter brings elegance and beauty to any party and highlights the wine. This lets the guests know the importance of the wine served. Using stunning decanters in many French and Italian restaurants to serve wine as well as water is a common style and it is done mostly to display the liquid’s clarity and enhance the elegance and class of the dinner table. • Decanters remove the sediments- The solid sediment that precipitates in a wine bottle with aging needs to be filtered first before serving. Imagine serving unfiltered wine full of sediment to your guest. The sediment not only sullies the appearance of the wine but also affects its taste. To avoid this, decanters are needed. They not only clear the wine of sediments, you can also use them to serve the very wine. • Decanters improve the quality of your wine- Decantation improves the taste of inexpensive wines to such an extent that they may seem to be high quality expensive ones. Types of decanters Decanters are of various styles, sizes and shapes and are most often made of glass or lead crystal. • Lead crystal decanters Lead crystals have a much more sparkly appearance than regular glass. This happens because; lead crystals are a combination of lead oxide and molten glass. Thus, they increase the index of refraction of light over that of regular glass. However, they are not recommended any more to be used in decanters as a long period of seated liquid in a lead decanter causes the lead in the container to seep into the liquid and may even lead to lead poisoning if consumed. • Glass decanters Glass decanters are usually made of inert colorless glass, in order to clearly exhibit the wine. Sometimes they come colored too. Some glass decanters come with decorative a stopper lid that has a rod in the centre to aid decanting. The shape of the decanters is mostly tall and upright which gives it an elegance and fragility. Other shapes are also available. Most of the modern day decanters are resistant to breakage and dishwasher safe. There is a wide range of decanting vessels to choose from. This includes antique whisky decanter, carafe, lead free decanter, decanters for port wine, duck wine decanters and so on. The elegant or antique looking decanters are intricately designed glass ones but are not very practical. The practical ones have a wide base that tapers sharply as it goes up to the fluted top. As such, the wine’s surface area is expanded greatly thus allowing a more effective breathing. Wider necked decanters should be used only if the wine needs to be consumed within a short span. Decanters - Before and after their use After removing the cork of a bottle and before its contents are decanted, clean around the top of the bottle immediately. It is important as a slightly moldy or old cork remains can affect the wine while it is poured to the decanter. Excessive oxidation of a wine can sometimes lead to an undesirable taste. So, after decantation, if you do not finish all the wine right away, spray a neutral gas in to a clear bottle, pour the remaining decanted wine and quickly re cork it to slow the oxidizing process.

Be it a festive gathering, a casual dinner with a loved one or a picnic on a lovely sunny day; you always love to serve that favorite wine of yours and gather appreciation. But what brings a slight pain in your heart is the dripping of that precious wine of yours after every serve, along side the length of the wine bottle onto the table linen or carpet. Will it be not awesome if something could catch and hold those messy drips in its tracks from sliding down the side of your bottle and save your bottle labels from staining and your table tops and linens from soiling? Something that would do the job effortlessly and at the same time adorn your wine bottle? Well the answer is here – a drip collar. A drip collar, also called drip rings, drip catchers or wine collars, is a wine accessory that fits snugly around the neck of your wine bottle and absorbs any drip of wine that that may run down the bottle after pouring. Drip collars also accessorize the wine bottles and add individual charm and color to them. These little yet highly useful items are a must if you wish to prevent stains on the surfaces like table cloths, counter tops, carpets, sofas and other items that could possibly be exposed to wine droplets. Drip collars are inexpensive enough to be disposed after a single use but if you are not willing to spend your hard earned money every time on a new drip collar, you can very well wash them and reuse to secure them from bacteria and germs. Read more... The history of drip collars This simple accessory that can prevent any unsightly mess at every pour has existed for over more then a hundred years, though the designs have varied since then. In the year 1872, W.R Miller was the first person who made a drip cup- a circular gutter that would fit around a wine bottle’s neck and catch the fluid of the container while pouring. He was provided a patent for the same. Designs and materials of drip collars Drip collars available today are made up of various materials and vary in their designs too. The basic shape of a drip collar is always circular. However, nowadays drip collars are being made in the shape of tuxedos for special occasions like marriage ceremonies. Some of the common types of drip collars are: • Plastic and silver drip collars - Today’s drip collars are typically plastic or silver rings with an interior lining of colored felt to absorb the wine drops when slipped over the neck of the bottle. The felt color is usually black or red. • Two Piece drip collars - One more design that is highly recognizable today is a drip collar with two main pieces and a snap lock that joins both the sections together. The lock has a small piece of magnet attached to it. You need to surround the bottle neck with the two pieces on both the sides and then join them together and create a seal with the snap lock. In order to absorb the drips however, here too a soft material like a felt is used that is inbuilt in the drip collar. • Plain felt drip collars - Other versions of drip collars include simply a solid stretchable round piece of felt that can accommodate the neck of the bottle. This type of drip collar is available mainly in the contemporary colors of back and red. • Synthetic drip collars - Some drip collars are also made up of synthetic materials that give them the resiliency to conform to all sizes of wine bottles. The elastic material used here is very strong and flexible. Whatever the type or design, the primary material that does the job in every kind of drip collar is the soft, absorbent felt lining that discreetly absorbs every drip of wine. The dual action of drip collars Whenever you use drip collars, they actually function in a two-fold manner. • The action of drip collars while pouring - At first, it helps to prevent drips of excess fluid while the contents of a bottle are being poured. • The action of drip collars while returning to the upright position - While the bottle is being returned to its upright position, chances of wine being dripped from the sides of the wine bottle are the same. Here too, the accessory stops drips equally and absorbs them in the same manner to avoid staining surfaces. This dual action of drip collars in both the instances helps to reduce the wasting of your wine and avoid messy counter and table tops from spillage. That means you can enjoy your wine without caring about any wine wastage and also wastage of time that you would have needed to get wine stains out of you linen table cloth if the wine drips would have come in contact to the surface. The aesthetic appeal of drip collars Besides being highly practical in use, drip collars also add a touch of class to every wine bottle. These little equipments not only prevent drips from wine bottles, they also provide a degree of sophistication to every wine service. A few drops of wine spilled on the table top may not be considered to be a great loss but certainly detract from the elegance of wine serving presentation. These ornamental wine collars let you serve your wine in style while saving your beautiful linen. Other uses of drip collars Drip collars can also be used in the kitchen for condiment bottles or any container that has an elongated neck and drips fluids while you use them. Their elastic nature makes them ideal to securely fit over the neck of all standard sized bottles. They make life in your kitchen a lot easier. They can be used while pouring broth, dressings and fruit juices and save you the time and effort of cleaning the kitchen counter top of their drips after every pour. Drip collars are easy to connect to a bottle and can be easily moved from one bottle neck to the next. Another option is purchasing several drip collars and attaching them to the bottle necks of the condiments and other liquids that you frequently use. Since they are quite affordable, they won’t hurt your pocket. Use and maintenance of drip collars While pouring your wine, be careful not to hold the drip collar or the bottle could slip out of your hand. As such, the bottle might break or the contents of the bottle may spill and spoil. For reusing a drip collar, simply rinse it gently with water and allow it to dry in air. It would be better if you lay them flat for drying. Advantages of drip collars • Functional, Economical and Reusable Drip collars - Your fine wines are made to sip, not drip.

While it is important to keep your wine chilled in a proper wine fridge or your main refrigerator, it is also important to serve the wine in a chilled state after opening the bottle. To do so, you need to visit your refrigerator again and again in order to get ice for every glass of wine. To save the strain, a nice bucket is necessary. It is a good way to keep your wine chilled while you enjoy it. When not pouring, the wine kept in there will not get warm while you are drinking, eating or enjoying the company of your guests. You can operate these ice buckets like a breeze; they are so easy to use. You simply need to place some ice in, put the wine bottle and pour a bit of water to give your bottle a nice cool ice bath and preserve its temperature as long as the celebration continues. Ice buckets are a wonderful accessory that ensures to add excitement to your ceremony by keeping the wine cool throughout the meal. They can be used to store ice for mixing in drinks or to submerge drink containers in the ice and chill them without dilution. Read more... Ice Buckets- what are they? Ice buckets are insulated containers to chill beverages or make ice readily available to add in beverages. They are mostly important when entertaining guests but are also great when you simply want to relax with your favorite wine on the pool side. In short, they are a type of countertop ice storage utensil that prevents ice from melting rapidly and keeps it in solid state for long. They are highly useful in bar areas, buffets, kitchens or while serving drinks in patios. The dual advantage of ice buckets Ice buckets work in a two fold manner. They have double insulated walls in which one side prevents ice from melting inside and the other side prevents condensation from forming on the outside of the bucket. This is important because while melted ice cannot serve the purpose of wine chilling, condensation is equally problematic as condensed drops tend to run down the sides of the exterior wall of the bucket and get to the surface in contact, thereby making it wet and damaging it, specially if it is a wooden table. Places where ice buckets can be used There are a number of places where ice buckets come in handy: • Ice buckets in home bars and home parties- You can use ice buckets in your home bar for yourself and your family. You can also place them on countertops at parties. You can simply fill your ice bucket and carry it with you to the patio or set it in a serving area so that you do not need to retrieve ice from your refrigerator every time your guest asks for a refreshing drink. • Ice buckets at dinner tables- Another use is keeping your wine chilled at your dinner table, be it your home or a restaurant. • Ice buckets in hotel rooms- In modern hotel rooms, ice buckets are readily available for guests to carry ice back from an ice vending machine. • Ice buckets during summer months- Keeping an ice bucket on the countertop in the summer months keep the kids from opening the freezer time and again or running a noisy ice dispenser while you are relaxing. •  Ice buckets in camping or in a bath- Ice buckets are great to carry and use in camping. You can also place them next to your bathing tub for a refreshing drink every time you bath that gives your bathing a luxurious experience. Designs of ice buckets Ice bucket is a necessity for most social occasions like dinner parties, a christening, or a wedding. There are a massive number of designs to choose from to suit your taste and need. From basic models to elegant designs, there is a bucket for every décor, purpose and occasion. Some of the most common models are: • The typical model of ice buckets- A typical ice bucket is a model that has a hat-style lid which slips into the lip of the ice bucket. The lid is lifted or lowered every time the ice is needed and this is done by using a central knob. The bucket handle or the knob handle might be located centrally like a basket style swivel that can drop to a side when not in use or might be two in number and located on either side of the bucket body. • Stainless steel model ice buckets- This model is a highly polished one and adds a tasteful flair to any party. It has a sophisticated and modern look in it. • Crystal model ice buckets- For the most appealing elegance, cut crystal model ice buckets are preferred. They are so beautiful that they look spell binding sitting out, even when not in use. These Ice buckets are generally used at weddings and showers. They are also suited for professional purposes like conventions, employee outings, and organizational gatherings. • Leather cover model ice buckets- As the name suggest, here the exterior wall of the ice bucket has a sheet of leather cover to keep the ice cold for a longer duration. • Personalized model ice buckets- Here, the bearer of the ice bucket can get a monogram or family name engraved on the bucket for a more personalized feel. • Talking model ice buckets- Talking ice buckets are fun at a casual party. They repeat slogans and songs whenever the bucket is opened. • Illuminated model ice buckets- This model has multi-colored inbuilt lights and often come with a remote control for a funky addition to a party. • Other models of ice buckets- There are many other models in different fun styles, whimsical designs and bright colors. These are unconventional types and are preferred by people who like adding a unique touch to their wine accessories. The examples are acrylic ice buckets that look like blocks of ice or ice buckets looking like a washtub for a cute and rustic feel. The common thing that is used with all the models is ice tongs. These are mini tongs used to pick ice from the bucket for the purpose of sanitation. In some cases, the tongs are sold with the buckets but usually they need to be bought separately. Materials used in ice buckets Ice buckets are generally made with materials that are good for insulation. The most common types of ice buckets depending on the material used in them are: • Steel ice buckets- Ice buckets made of steel, usually stainless steel have a lustrous finish in them and look great on parties and events. The double wall construction used in such buckets keep ice frozen longer, thereby keeping it nice and cold. They are also quite durable and expertly combine practicality, and alluring looks. These buckets are usually large enough to hold a considerable amount of ice. • Lead ice buckets- Lead crystal buckets can catch the light beautifully and therefore create a shimmering display. They add a touch of sophistication, wherever they are placed. • Plastic ice buckets- Plastic ice buckets are the most common, inexpensive and durable ones .They are available in a variety of vibrant colors to add a splash of fun to every occasion. • Aluminum ice buckets- Aluminum ice buckets are very strong and lightweight at the same time. They can resist any harsh treatment and they have a silver color to compliment every type of décor. The temperature conductivity of aluminum is significantly lower than other metals thus aluminum ice buckets preserve the bottle's coolness for longer. They are highly durable. • Electric ice buckets- If you are a gadget freak and a wine buff, these types of ice buckets are a must for you. For operating electric ice buckets, you need to fill ice in them and then pour water to the marked line. Then set the timer and plug in. The desired cooling temperature can be obtained in minutes. Also, since these types of ice buckets cool the bottles from top, any sediment if present in the bottles is forced to settle down to the bottom. • Glass ice buckets- These ice buckets are impressive to look at and are quite heavy in weight. The transparency allows the bottle to display its wine content and label while it is being cooled. • Wooden ice buckets- These ice buckets provide a rustic feel to the atmosphere. They are usually crafted of grained wood and include a stainless steel lid. Different shapes of ice buckets To serve different purposes, ice buckets come in different shapes. While generally they are smaller in shape with a small diameter, some ice buckets come in the shape of tubs. These may again come with lids or may not be lidded and are shaped to hold large quantities of ice and can cool many beverage bottles at the same time. They are used for the purpose of serving a larger number of guests in an event. When buying ice buckets When you think of buying an ice bucket, your main concerns are function, style and price. There are a plenty of options to choose from purely functional, to whimsical, to high style. The price of course differs accordingly. For a highly functional ice bucket go for one with a lid to help ice last longer. Secondly, look for a high level of insulation. Insulated Ice Buckets do not sweat and provide a long lasting method for storing ice. The models that look like large thermoses and act accordingly can suit you purpose as they have double walls to provide proper insulation. For a more stylish option, go for designer ones but you may have to compromise on the efficiency. Ice buckets as gift ideas Ice buckets are great gift ideas for housewarmings, holidays, anniversaries and weddings. Gift giving ideas start rolling in as soon as you start thinking ahead of well- spent holidays or celebrating the special day of your dear ones. But choosing a nice gift that can fit equally with everyone is not an easy task. However, if thought deeply, you will find that all people have something in common though everyone strives to be different. And one of the common factors that everyone agrees on is that most of the people are wine lovers. And so, a wine bucket for every type of wine lover can be the best gift. It is suited for different people with different lifestyles and likings and it can never go out of trend. And if the person you wish to gift an ice bucket already has one, don’t worry. It really doesn't matter if he or she has more than one ice bucket because different designs of ice buckets can be used to compliment different barware or table settings. Ice buckets –How they help The components of a wine’s aroma and flavor are to a great extent, temperature dependent. For example, the alcohol in a wine is a highly volatile material and is very temperature sensitive. At a very high temperature, a wine can exhibit too much alcohol which obscures the other aromas present and at a very low temperature, all the aromas hide and are hard to distinguish. Therefore, an ideal, medium temperature is required where the components can be balanced rather than making any of them dominant or obtrusive. One of the ways to acquire the right temperature for a bottle of wine is an ice bucket. An ice bucket with some water and plenty of ice is close to 32° F (0° C). This temperature helps the wine to be always served at the correct temperature, thereby releasing the true potential of every bottle which enables you to gain the maximum enjoyment of your wine.

But your guests would probably like to have a more complicated and accurate mixture of the cocktail instead of some gin and tonic. And to give them that very accurate mixture, you need a perfect bartending tool. It is a common misconception that creating a cocktail in the absolutely right proportion can be done only by professional bartenders. But cheers to the two magical tools of wine trade-shakers and jiggers; now the craft of cocktail creation is open to everybody. Anyone who is fantasized with cocktails can mix them at home, in the perfect proportion. Sometimes people become an expert on their own, mixing their signature cocktails and thus become adept at various cocktail recipes; all with the help of these two simple equipments- shakers and jiggers. Read more... Cocktail Shakers Cocktail Shakers are the most essential tool for making cocktails. They are the most used pieces of the barware set no matter what you are shaking or mixing- Aviation or Martini or Manhattan. Cocktail Shakers are useful for mixing usually alcoholic drinks that have ingredients hard to mix smoothly, like- liqueurs, creams and fruit juices. In order to use a shaker, simply put the desired ingredients and then ice cubes in the cocktail shaker. Then shake it vigorously depending on the mixing ability and temperature of the mixture. A nice shake for 5 to 10 seconds would be enough. Cocktail shakers also cool the drinks just before serving and make them taste concentrated and crispy. An art in itself, cocktail shaking needs some practice if you wish to device your own cocktail shaking style and enthrall your guests. Cocktail shakers come in handy in both commercial and home bars for mixing drinks and every bar should have at least one standard sized cocktail shaker for entertaining, and possibly more for making a large amount of mixed drinks. Types of shakers There are three main types of cocktail shakers. These types vary in terms of a built-in strainer. • Traditional shakers or Cobbler shakers- This type of shaker is not very suited for professional use and is mostly found in homes. It is comprised of three pieces: a metal base, a tight fitting cap or bar tin in the top and a built in strainer. The top fits over the strainer. Sometimes the cap is used to measure liquids. This shaker is very easy to use. The cap is removed, the ingredients are poured in along with some ice, the shaker is capped and shaken briskly, and the drink is poured through the strainer. Since this type of shaker is a very simple accessory, the parts are easy to fit and no further tools are required for the shaking. But it is often difficult to open it once it has cooled from the ice put in it. Another disadvantage of this kind of shakers is that since they get very cold on the outside too, they are almost painful to touch. Also due to the small in built strainer, the ice can block the way of the pour, thereby making it the slowest to pour of all shakers, even if you almost invert the shaker. For busy, high traffic bars, cobbler shakers are very cumbersome, so the least preferred. • Boston shakers- A Boston shaker has two parts: a metal tumbler or base and a thick, often tempered nestling glass or plastic mixing cup, but without a built-in strainer. The operation is similar to the cobbler shaker but here one needs to tap in the nestling cup into the base after pouring the ingredients and ice to create a vacuum seal that keeps the two parts together. The drink is then shaken briskly until the metal base is cold, the shaker is tapped again to break the seal, this time using the wrist and hitting against the edge of the metal tumbler where it comes in to contact with the mixing glass, to reopen it. This can be a difficult task at first, and one may think the two parts are permanently sealed together. However, with a bit of practice the process soon becomes easy. The drink is then poured through a separate bar strainer into a glass. Separate bar strainers are vital when using Boston shakers, since they ensure that drinks become smooth and uniform, especially if crushed ice is used. This kind of shaker serves a dual purpose because of its two components- the mixing glass and the metal tin. The glass can be used alone for stirring or muddling drinks over ice and the two pieces can also be used together for shaking ingredients with the tin fitting over the glass. The Boston Shaker is generally used by professional bartenders to pour the mixed drink into a cocktail glass without making a mess. These shakers are easier to clean too. With a Boston shaker it is much faster and easier to make drinks, especially if one wants to create several drinks, one after another. • French shakers/Pitcher shakers- This is the final type of shaker and is the least popular one. This can be called to be a cobbler shaker minus the built-in strainer since it is of a large mixing metal pitcher shaped tumbler and a metal cap and has not strainer. A separate strainer is always required for this type of shaker, to keep the ice out of the drink when pouring. The advantage of the pitcher shaker is that cocktails may be prepared in a large amount at a time and the pitcher may be left on a table for guests to serve themselves. The disadvantage is that one may find it hard to open unless one has a good grip. Whatever be the choice amongst the above three types of shakers, it is important to make sure it is big enough to allow for plenty of ice to be packed in, and for plenty of space to shake the ice around. Materials used in shakers The most common construction material for cocktail shakers is metal, since metal container colds well and a cocktail shaker is primarily intended to chill a drink while mixing it. Other materials such as glass and plastic are sometimes used. Designs and shapes of shakers Cocktail shakers sometimes come in ornamented or etched designs and are often sold in a set with other bar tools which match. They also come in a variety of sizes, from personal models for mixing single drinks to larger bar sizes for handling bigger volumes. Cocktail shakers are also available in novel shapes. Many fun and whimsical shapes like penguin shakers, fire hydrants, and bullet shapes are available in the market now. There are also cocktail shakers that can play music, come with built in stirrers and are adorned with ornate decorations. When buying cocktail shakers While purchasing a cocktail shaker, one should consider how many drinks he or she needs to mix at a time. For people who only mix drinks rarely and casually, a small traditional shaker is probably a good choice, since it is easy to use. For larger mixing volume, better go for a Boston shaker. Besides the type, the quality of material is also an important consideration. Stainless metal tumblers are durable and highly effective. If you wish to save money but do not want to compromise on efficiency, cheaper nickel-plated tumblers can be advocated for. Cocktail Jiggers The entire balance of a complex drink can be completely messed up if you pour excess or insufficient alcohol to it. The ratio of drink ingredients and accuracy are the most critical things in drink recipes, and to make a perfect blend with the perfect amount of mixture in the cocktail, one needs a bartending device that can accurately and precisely measure the various ingredients in the drink. This essential and aesthetic piece of a bar set that helps ensure precise measuring of liquids and creating consistent cocktails is called a jigger. A jigger or a measuring cup is measuring device made of metal or glass that has two cones on each end. It is an indispensable device typically used by bartenders to decanFgiftt accurately 43ml (circa 1.4 ounces) of a beverage into a drink recipe. The larger cone can hold around 1 -1/2 ounces of liquid ingredients and is called a jigger, while it's smaller counterpart can hold 1 or 3/4 ounce (30ml approx.) and is referred to as pony. This smaller part is used to measure out a "pony shot,"- a less potent variation on the standard recipe. But jiggers are available in other sizes as well and may not necessarily measure wet ingredients or fluids. A jigger is standard equipment in most bar sets, although individual gradations and capacities may vary. For example, a British jigger may measure out 50ml and 25ml of liquid instead of the Imperial ounce. Sizes and shapes of jiggers Some jiggers come in a larger size than the standard shot glass standard, either to measure out non-alcoholic mixers or "doubled" amounts of alcohol in a special order. A jigger sometimes has an attached metal rod between the two cups for easier pouring into a blender or martini shaker. Some jigger sets also have gradations marked on the side of the cups instead of standard measurements. A conventional style of bar jigger is one made of stainless steel, with the two opposing cones on either side of the jigger featuring an hourglass shape on the end of a rod. Types of jiggers For measuring ingredients, jiggers primarily come in two types based on the sides showing the quantity and unit to use as measurements. • English unit jiggers- Such jiggers come in a variety of sizes based on the following measurements: • ½ oz - 1 oz • ¾ oz – 1¼ oz • ¾ oz – 1½ oz • 1 oz – 1½ oz • 1 oz – 2 oz • ½ oz – ¾ oz • 1½ oz – 2 oz • Metric unit jiggers- The metric unit jigger sizes that come are: • 20 ml – 40 ml • 25 ml – 50 ml • 30 ml – 60 ml Besides the two above said types, there are other varieties available: • British jiggers- On the larger side, a typical British jigger measures 50ml while on the smaller side it shows 25ml of measurement. • Australian jiggers- Australian jiggers usually measure 30ml and 15ml respectively. • Scandinavian and European jiggers- Scandinavian and European jiggers use the metric system of measurement and the measurements are 20ml and 40ml respectively. The purpose of jiggers When we talk about only 3 to 4 ounces measurement of ingredients to mix in drinks, even the smallest difference in measures can make a very big difference in the resultant taste of the cocktail. To avoid this, a jigger is essential. A jigger should be always used by beginner bartenders, particularly because here, the skills and experience of the one mixing the drinks are questionable. The main purpose of a jigger is to measure the precise amount of alcohol into the cocktail shaker. This precise measurement is important in order to get a well-balanced drink. An excellent jigger can help you make cocktails in a jiffy. It is often thought that a professional bartender doesn't need to use a jigger. But it is mostly the professional bartenders who use a jigger, because they know just how important it is to properly measure the ingredients when making a properly balanced cocktail. A jigger proves to be a source of pride for a skilled bartender, which can make him or her capable of free-pouring drinks with accuracy. When buying jiggers When purchasing a jigger, the following points are needed to be kept in mind: • Buy jiggers with good lips - Firstly, always go for a jigger with a well formed lip that can pour a clean stream of cocktail into the glass. • Jiggers with handles are a good option – And secondly, you can opt for a jigger with a handle attached to it. This handle can keep your fingers from getting sticky if you accidentally slop some cordials on the side of the jigger.

Not to mention the countless cups they have in between. Coffee is easily the most preferred drink of today’s high-flying, high-stressed generation. A hot cup of freshly brewed coffee charges you up for the day, refreshes you every time you feel listless, and relaxes you when you put your feet up after a challenging day. People’s obvious preference for coffee over other beverages has led to a proliferation of coffee shops and café’s in cities across the world. Most workplaces too have large coffee vending machines which dispense several different kinds of coffee at the touch of a button. People love to meet friends over a cup of coffee, talk business over another, and carry one with them as they rush to work, take several coffee breaks while at work and so on. Read more... Brew a perfect cup of coffee in a coffee maker Once you get used to the taste of coffee shop or office coffee, it is very difficult to go back to the plain old drip cup in you home. And going to the coffee shop everyday is an an expensive proposition. This is why coffee makers are an integral part of homes today. Coffee makers make just the kind of coffee you like in no time at all. Easily and at probably one tenth the cost! Popular kinds of coffee makers Coffee makers have come a long way since they first made an appearance in 1972 as Mr. Coffee, the first drip coffee maker made especially for home usage. Now many years and many innovations later, there is a wide range of coffee makers available exclusively for home use. The two most popular types are: Automatic drip coffee makers – These inexpensive machines are perhaps the most commonly used. They come with a filter basket, glass carafe and a warming plate. The coffee grounds go into the filter basket through which cold water is filtered and it then drips into the glass carafe, which sits on a warming plate. You can even add exotic flavors like vanilla and cinnamon along with the coffee beans when you brew your coffee in an automatic drip machine. These machines provide rich, fragrant and aromatic coffee. The drip coffee maker has a manual variant as well. This is just like the automatic drip except you heat up and pour the water into the holder where the coffee filter filled with coffee sits. It drains into the pot and the coffee is ready! These are great for the outdoors. Espresso coffee makers - A great favorite of those who love a strong rich Italian brew. The stovetop version of the espresso coffee maker has a funnel filter filled with coffee which is placed in a boiler that has water in it. After placing the top on tightly, the entire contraption is placed on a stove burner. As the boiler heats, the coffee brews. Automatic espresso coffee makers have also become increasingly popular. The high end models not only grind the coffee beans, but also throw out the used beans when the brewing is over. There are many other kinds of coffee makers like Vacuum coffee makers, French press coffee makers and the old fashioned Percolators, but these have a somewhat complex operation, so they are not really the most preferred of options, though some people would still swear by them. What coffee maker should you buy? • Different coffee makers brew different sort of coffee. Even the numbers of cups you can make in one go is different in each. You can therefore base your decision on: • The kind of coffee you like: Espresso or cappuccino or latte or regular or something else? What is that you really want? Buy a coffee maker that brews your favorite coffee. • Numbers of cups needed in one go: How many people are going to be drinking coffee at one time. Whether it’s just you, or more members of the family? Depending on that, you can choose the right size • Material used: Look for coffee makers made with high end material. For instance, the coffee pot glass should be reinforced so that there is no danger of cracking and more insulation. • Digital Features: Many coffee makers come with timers and auto switch on and off devices which switch on the machine depending on the set time and switch if when the coffee is brewed. • Water filtering device: Look for this when buying your coffee maker. You don’t want your coffee to taste bad because of excess minerals in the water. Choose from our range of coffee makers We bring you an array of coffee maker from some of the finest manufactures of kitchen appliances and accessories. Among these are Cuisinox, Canada’s well know manufacture of multi clad stainless steel cookware which is known for innovative and high quality products.

Finding whole carrots, cucumbers and tomatoes in your salad! Or worse, having to butter a whole loaf of bread! Imagine not being able to cut, chop, slice, shear and pare! What would we do without our knives? Knives are an indispensable part of any kitchen. Every well equipped kitchen has a set of different knives that are used for chopping, slicing, cutting and many more such tasks before a delicious meal can be cooked and served. Read more... The very first knives The very first knives were probably made and used by cavemen as they discovered the art of making crude weapon with stones. Knives as we know them today made an appearance about five thousand years ago when metal was used to craft tools and weapons. Knives of this period were made out of copper. In the following centuries, bronze and iron came to be used for making knives. Most modern knives are made out of stainless steel and some with alloys like carbon fiber and titanium. Different knives perform different functions Today kitchen knives are extremely specialized implements. There are various kinds of kitchen knives available; each specially designed to perform a precise function. If you want to slice a loaf of bread, you need the serrated slicing knife. A paring knife is used for pealing fruits and vegetables. For carving meats, you need sturdier knives like the versatile chef’s knife. There are over 20 different kinds of kitchen knives each with a specific usage, but most people don’t usually own all of them. However there are a few important knives which are found in most kitchens. These include: Chef’s knife Chef’s knife: This is the kitchen’s main knife and easily the most versatile. It's great for chopping, dicing, mincing or slicing foods. You can chop different types of vegetables with it, both hard and soft. You can also use it to cut meat and also slice your break or cake. The size of this knife is approximately 8-10 inches and the bottom edge is usually coiled to facilitate movement on the chopping board.. Serrated Knife Serrated Knife: Serrated knives are typically used for slicing bread. The best serrated knives are the ones which have sharp serrations which help in better control of the knife. Serrated knives come in different sizes. Longer serrated knives are best suited for slicing uncut loaves of bread whereas shorter ones are best for cutting bread rolls etc. Serrated knives can also be used for slicing tomatoes and other soft fruits and vegetables Paring Knife Paring Knife: The paring knife is yet another kitchen essential. It’s small in size about 2-4 inches with a straight sharp blade that tapers at the tip. This knife is perfect for peeling fruits and vegetables, for slicing very small food items, mincing garlic and for things like fruit and vegetable carving. Cleaver Cleaver: This may not be used in a lot of kitchens but it’s an extremely useful knife to have around. The Clever has a wide blade about 6 inches long. This is useful for pounding and crushing foods like garlic and herbs and also for chopping and shredding food. It’s also a good knife for cutting through hard materials like bones in chickens. Other kinds of knives that could buy for your kitchen include the boning knife, butter knife, cheese knife, mincing knife, frozen food knife, steak knife and utility knife. Kitchen knife sets offer you all the knives you need The ideal thing to do is to buy a kitchen knife set which come with a knife block or case and sometimes come with their own knife sharpening device. A knife set has a collection of various knifes each suitable for a specific task. A good knife set includes a chef’s knife, a paring knife, slicing knife, bread knife and a utility knife.

Read more... What is a bread box? A bread box is a container used for the storage of bread and other baked goods. A bread box is designed for the purpose of keeping bread fresh while helping to maintain uncluttered kitchen surfaces. Typically, bread boxes are very tightly sealed. When they work as intended, they trap moisture and prevent bread from becoming stale too quickly. They can also be helpful in keeping bread and other baked goods safe from pests, such as mice. Is using a bread box the best solution for storing my bread? Often, individuals choose to store bread in refrigerators, thinking that keeping it cold will lock in moisture and prevent it from going stale. Unfortunately, the opposite often occurs and bread stored in the refrigerator may begin going stale after just one day. This is due to the fact that moisture loss doesn't really cause bread to go stale. Staleness is caused by retrogradation, a process by which starch molecules crystallize. Retrogradation occurs much faster in the cold temperatures of normal refrigeration, making the refrigerator a poor choice for storing bread. Instead of refrigerating bread to keep it fresh, it is best to store it at room temperature in a container designed to retain moisture, such as a bread box. What types of bread boxes do we offer? There are many types of bread boxes on the market, allowing consumers to find models that fit just about any kitchen decor and personal style preference. There are bread box models made of wood, acrylic, ceramic, enamel, stoneware and stainless steel. Bread boxes come with many different types of lids as well, including lift top, roll top, handled, lift-off and drop-down versions. Consumers can even find bread boxes with handy attachments, such as pull-out bread boards. So what advise can we give you on choosing your bread box? When you’re in the market for a bread box, it is wise to consider the amount of space you have in your kitchen. There are a wide variety of space-saver bread boxes that require only a limited amount of space on a counter, tabletop, or shelf. Keep in mind that some bread box models only hold one loaf of bread. If you have a large family, you may do well to consider purchasing a larger model or an expandable bread box. You can even find clear bread box versions, a smart idea for those given to forgetting what they have stored in containers. admin@vitalwares.ca http://www.vitalwares.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=15_379_7 Sun, 05 Jul 2009 14:26:40 -0400 http://www.vitalwares.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=15_379_6 With our very extensive range of kitchen kanisters, there is always room for food in your home.
