Caregiving Tools and It’s Uses

1. Measuring Cups : A measuring cup is a kitchen utensil used primarily to measure the volume of
liquid or bulk solid cooking ingredients such as flour and sugar, especially for volumes from
about 50 mL (2 fl oz) upwards. Measuring cups are also used to measure washing powder, liquid
detergents and bleach for clothes washing.

2. Can Opener : A can opener (also known as a tin opener) is a device used to open steel (not tin)
cans. Simple can openers, like those found in pocket knives, are operated by walking the device
around the edge of the can while digging into the lid. The lid will have very jagged edges after
removal.

3. Blender : Personal blenders are designed to blend single servings of smoothies and shakes that
can be taken on the go in the same jar you blended in. And, like standard blenders, they're often
powerful enough to pulse and puree small batches of dips, sauces, and batters.

4. Dishwasher : The function of the dishwasher is to provide the mechanical action necessary to
distribute and direct the detergent solution and rinse waters over, under and around the dishes
to loosen and remove soil.

5. Sterilizer : Sterilization destroys all microorganisms on the surface of an article or in a fluid to

prevent disease transmission associated with the use of that item.

6. Kitchen knife : they're great for slicing and chopping small to midsize vegetables and cuts of
meat. A serrated utility knife comes in handy for slicing sandwiches as well. A straight-blade
utility knife is helpful when peeling produce, though sometimes that's better left to paring
knives.

7. Bread toaster : A toaster is an electric small appliance designed to expose various types of sliced
bread to radiant heat, browning the bread so it becomes toast.

8. Egg Beater : A hand tool that is used to manually mix and beat eggs or other similar ingredients,
such as sauces, batter, egg whites, and dressings. This kitchen utensil is typically made of
stainless steel with stainless blades all of which can be easily cleaned .

9. Refrigerator : The fundamental reason for having a refrigerator is to keep food cold. Cold
temperatures help food stay fresh longer. The basic idea behind refrigeration is to slow down
the activity of bacte- ria (which all food contains) so that it takes longer for the bacteria to spoil
the food.\
10. Ironing board : Although the primary purpose of an ironing board is to keep clothes wrinkle-free,
it also has multiple uses, which comes in handy in smaller living spaces. Using an ironing board
and a hot iron is still the most common way to press clothes.
