Freezer Baskets - Organize Your Deep Chest Freezer

By Steve J Fones

If you are the owner of a deep chest freezer you will know just how much of a pain they can be to keep organized enough that you can readily find the desired frozen item. The solution to preventing chaos in the freezer is to use stackable freezer baskets.

When you place items in a freezer, you may never think you will have any trouble remembering where it is. But inevitably, as some point down the road, you will reach in and find a mystery item. While you were rummaging around - and likely experiencing some back pain - trying to find a certain item, you end up with this unknown object in your hand instead.

Covered with a white layer of frost - or worse, feature obscuring aluminum foil - you have no idea what it is. Worse still, you have no idea how long it has been sitting in the freezer. Is this leftover Turkey from Thanksgiving last year or perhaps Ham from three Christmases past? Is whatever it is even safe to eat?

Right away you can see the problem of a disorganized freezer. In the scenario described above you really have no choice but to throw the item away. This unnecessary waste of food can prove expensive if repeated over time. And, quite frankly, it really makes you want to kick yourself for not doing something to prevent it.

The best action you can take to prevent the wastage caused by a poorly arrange deep chest freezer is to buy yourself some stackable freezer baskets. When deep freezer baskets are set up correctly in your freezer you can have everything arranged in a way that will gain you several benefits. One of these is the elimination of wastage due to unidentifiable items. Another benefit is further elimination of wastage due to always knowing how old a particular frozen object is. Finally, through setting up a system of food rotation, you can arrange the freezer so that none of your food remains in there long enough for you to be concerned if it still safe to eat.

As I have explained, the addition of deep chest freezer baskets to your freezer yields clear benefits. Visit my site for more information on the best way to setup chest freezer baskets for maximum benefits, and also for tips on shopping for and making use of stackable freezer baskets in general.

Some Uses for Toaster Ovens

By Jessica N King
Today, more and more people are using toaster ovens. But most of them do not have any idea on the best way to use them. We have a few suggestions for all those users. With these you can put your oven to greater use. Since it is fast becoming the most important gadget to be used in our kitchen we need to know exactly how to use it effectively and efficiently.

While making pasta, we could use the toaster oven to heat up the garlic bread instead of using the regular oven. With this we could save electricity too. In fact we could use it for any type of bread. We could use them to make snacks quickly. We could make pizza rolls or potatoes. It works well for people who do not have access to a regular oven. The snacks prepared are also very crisp as compared to the microwave oven. Another use is to heat up frozen pot pie. It heats up better than the microwave in which the crust sometimes gets burnt while the inside filling remains cold.

When we need to bake only few cookies we could use the toaster oven. This would not only save time but also electricity and of course money. It is suitable for people who are single and live in smaller apartments or dormitories. When you want to cook for one a regular oven seems too big. We could also use it as a second oven. It would be perfect for holidays and outings. It could be your spare oven too. It is perfect to use them during summer because as opposed to the regular oven, this doesn't heat up the entire house. Most ovens come with a slow heat cooking option which helps to cook the food evenly. Some have two shelves for different intensities of baking. Some even have a defrost option.
