Label Frozen Foods
When putting any food in
the freezer - foods bought at
the supermarket or frozen at
home - always label each
package telling what’s in
side, how it’s prepared, how
much is in the package and
the date it was packaged.
Extension consumer
specialists at Penn State
University say it’s important
to keep a record of all frozen
food then check off packages
as they are used. Always use
the oldest packages first.
Prevent Etching
Glassware -
Etching, a permanent
film, looks frosted or
iridescent on scratched or
pitted glassware. It can’t be
removed but it can be
prevented, point out Ex-,
tension specialists at Pennf
State University. Etching is
caused by the removal of
metallic ions from soft glass
byalkalinewashsolutions.lt
can be caused by the use of
.excess dishwasher
detergent. To prevent et
ching, use a minimum
amount of detergent and
load the automatic dish
washer to insure adequate
rinsing.
Keep Home Safe for
Children
Rule out the “reachables”
for young children. Ac
cording to Extension safety
specialists at Penn State
University, the
“reachables” are the
available, reachable, handy
things that can lead to home
accidents. These include
medicines left on a table,
cleaners and polishes stored
under the sink, and pot
handles jutting over the edge
of the stove. Check the home
and workshop and make the
reachables “unreachable”
before an accident happens.
