Citrus Clean March 28, 2009

Extraact from The Sunday Times on 22nd Mar 09.

Q : After baking, what is the best way to remove the smell from the oven so that it does not carry over to the next item?

A : First, clean your oven as thoroughly as you can, scrubbing off the baked on stains or spots from which off-smells can emanate. Next, cut an orange and a lemon into thin slices and place them in a wide cake pan or roasting dish.

     Place the cake pan on the middle oven shelf, then fill it iwth boiling water. Shut the door, turn the oven to 180 deg C, and leave it for 20 to 30 mins. Switch off the oven and let it cool down a little, with the door closed.

     Remove the pan and shelf. Soak a clean cloth in hot water and wring out, then give the oven a final wipe. The citrusy steam should have displaced any lingering smells.

Cheese & Ham Sandwich August 10, 2008

I do a simple sandwich for my son to eat. Personally, I love it and it is quite healthy breakfast.

1 slice of cheese

1 slice of ham

2 slices of bread

Margarine – unsalted

Apply both side of the breads and use a non-stick pan to fry on 1 side. Once it turns golden brown, turn the other side. Add the ham and cheese and take the other slice of bread cover the ham and cheese. It is healthy as it doesn’t need to use oil.
