SCALE

                   Weighing scales (or weigh scales or scales) are devices to measure weight or calculate mass. Spring balances or spring scales measure weight (force) by balancing the force due to gravity against the force on a spring, whereas a balance or pair of scales using a balance beam compares masses by balancing the weight due to the mass of an object against the weight of a known mass or masses. Either type can be calibrated to read in units of force such as newtons, or in units of mass such as kilograms, but the balance or pair of scales using a traditional balance beam to compare masses will read correctly for mass even if moved to a place with a different (non-zero) gravitational field strength (but would then not read correctly if calibrated in units of force), while the spring balance would read correctly in force in a different gravitational field strength (but would not read correctly if calibrated in units of mass).
                     Scales and balances are widely used in commerce, as many products are sold and packaged by weight. Very accurate balances, called analytical balances, are used in scientific fields such as chemistry.

Here are some tips on taking care of digital scales1. Use the scales according to the termsDo not exceed the maximum load that can be accommodated by the scales. If it exceeds then weigh quickly so that the scales are not easily damaged because of overload (overload).2. Treat digital sensors properlySome digital scales have delicate sensors. If you have, then treat well. Do not be too rough, even to slam.3. Make sure the electric scales get good powerDigital scales have 2 types of resources. That is derived from direct electric power (PLN) or use the battery. If it comes from direct electrical power, make sure the scales receive proper electrical power to avoid wasteful energy. For batteries make sure the batteries are used properly so that the scales can accurately measure the object.4. Stay away from scales from other electronic devicesThe number that appears in the digital scales usually depends on the weight of the object. Sometimes, however, material inaccuracies are caused by electromagnetic interference from other electronic devices such as radio, microwave, cell phone, etc. If this happens, keep or disable electronic devices near the digital scales.5. Turn off the scales when not in use anymoreTurn off the digital scales when they are not used anymore. If left to light, LOADCELL will work continuously and make the digital scales not last long.6. Clean the digital scales from dust and other debrisClean the digital scales by using a clean cloth for laps. If there is a dish, then wash the dish with water rinse and dry.7. And do not forget to always KALIBRASI scalesIn order to get accurate results, be sure to always calibrate the scales whenever you want to use your digital scales.

 

SALAD SPINNER

                     A salad spinner, also known as a "salad tosser", is a kitchen tool used to wash and remove excess water from salad greens. It uses centrifugal force to separate the water from the leaves. This is necessary in order to keep the greens from going limp and enable salad dressing and oil to stick to the leaves. Although devices used to wash, dry and spin salad have long been in existence, including one specimen from the 19th century, the modern mechanism-operated spinner originated in the early 1970s. Two patents by French designers, Jean Mantelet and Gilberte Fouineteau, were particularly influential in the early development of the product's design. In 1974, The Mouli Manufacturing Co. introduced a crank-operated salad spinner to the American market; other companies were not far behind with their own patented variations. The product sold favorably and demand was high, with stores struggling to keep it in stock. Despite the product's popularity, however, it was not entirely without criticism; some were skeptical about the necessity of "another gourmet gadget".
                      Salad spinners are usually made from plastic and include an outer bowl with an inner removable colander or strainer basket. A cover, which fits around the outside bowl, contains a spinning mechanism that when initiated causes the inside strainer to rotate rapidly. The water is driven though the slits in the basket into the outer bowl. There are a number of different mechanisms used to operate the device, including crank handles, push buttons and pull-cords. The salad spinner is generally easy to use, though its large and rigid shape has led to criticism; the product is often considered bulky and difficult to store.

                 Just separate and wash with the usual soap and than keep it the good place and let dry first.

 

SALAMANDER

                   Salamanders are generally open in front and have racks that easily slide in and out. They can be crisp up the top of dishes, toast sub sandwiches, melt cheese, or even be used for actual broiling duty or slow baking. As well, they may be used to keep dishes warm.
                    Sometimes, pizza places that sell by the slice will use a salamander to quickly re-melt the cheese and give you a nice hot slice of pizza. Although a salamander can be used to melt cheese, there is also a specific type of broiler, similar to the salamander, that is meant to be used as a cheese melter.
                    Salamanders, since they can be used for more than one duty, offer a better alternative for most kitchens, but are more expensive and less simple to use than cheese melters. Many sources conflate simple cheese melters with salamanders, mistakenly assuming that all such broilers are low-intensity broilers, but a high-quality unit can produce varying range of heat, up to searing temperatures of above 1500°F.

                   Salamanders can even be used to broil steaks, which, despite what you may think, is a great way to cook a steak, comparable to grilling, but without the risk of blackening due to flare-ups. For a delicate piece of fish, such as a fillet of sole or flounder, a salamander broiler, and broiling in general, may be superior to grilling.

                   For professional kitchens, salamander units can be quicker and more efficient than broiling in an oven. The fact that they can be mounted up high, usually above the cooking range, and out of the way means cheese can be melted or dishes can be finished without it interfering with the normal flow of the kitchen. A steakhouse may have several in a stack. As well, some units are meant for counter-top use. A salamander is not something most home kitchens would have, but they are also available for home use. Other names for a salamander are an overhead broiler, finishing oven, or hotel broiler. They may be gas or electric, but gas flame is, by far, the preferred type, with modern gas broilers using infrared burners. They can be from 3 to 6 feet long, with several heating zones. Three-foot models are the most widely used.

Always cared for so that the tray remains clean and also the body is also kept clean.
