Stop filling your trash can with wasted ingredients and instead explore some new interesting recipes. In this blog Public Kitchen Supply will offer a few suggestions on how to save food and money.
Soups and stews are an excellent want to save leftover ingredients. Use potato peels, the tips of celery and carrot peels to make a delicious vegetable soup. Stock pots are a great way to combine all of these ingredients into a warm hearty soup or stew, we suggest the Browne Foodservice 12 quart stock pot. This stock pot is part of Browne-Halco’s Thermalloy line insuring the pot’s handles will stay cool, even when on a hot stove. The “stay cool” technology prevents user burns, a great safety feature. Onion peels are another great ingredient for stocks and broths as it gives broths a hint of flavor and color at the same time.
Apple peels and orange peels make a naturally healthy tea. Steep apple peels or orange peels in hot water with cinnamon and a trace of vanilla. This simple recipe is incredibly easy and makes a sweet drink. Use Update International’s 6” vegetable peeler to safely remove apple peels. Update International’s 6” vegetable peeler features an easy spin carbon steel blade honed to a perfect edge then attached to an incredibly comfortable handle. The handle has been coated with plastic so it is easy to grasp. The vegetable peeler is completed with a blister card ensuring soft cut free hands.
Coffee grounds are a fantastic way to deodorize hands and cutting boards after cutting onions or garlic. Coffee grounds are also a great a plant fertilizer. Every month place 3/4 cup of coffee grounds into your garden. The coffee’s acidity is incredibly helpful for plant growth and deters insects like ants and slugs. Coffee has a surprising number of uses ranging from a car air freshener to counter cleaner. These do it yourself tips are a great way to save money.
