The kitchen is one of my favorite rooms in the house. However, while I do enjoy cooking and preparing food, I'm not too fond of cleaning up afterwards. Nevertheless, it needs to be done. In my food preparation, I use a number of small appliances that undoubtedly save time, some of which I have had for quite a number of years. The secret to their longevity? Learning how to clean and maintain them. Have a look through the illustrations below:

Stainless steel appliances may modernize the kitchen, however

wipe in the direction of the steel grain and on occasion, spray your
appliance down with a stainless steel polish or silicone-based spray for
a smooth and rich appearance.
