Steam Cleaners on Late Night Infomercials

Steam Cleaners on Late Night Infomercials


I never new what a steam cleaner was until I saw one on an infomercial one night. Those infomercials are so well made and persuasive that despite my great judgement, I found myself ordering one of their units and eagerly awaiting it's arrival.

This type of a cleaner is sort of like a new Toy for a big kid because now I was going to be able to clean with steam. What a cool view and one that the infomercial made very appealing. I mean, I always cleaned my sink and toilets and other things but I never got them "steam" cleaned. Being able to clean them so that they were clean enough to eat off of was something that sounded very exciting.

Of policy what came in the mail worked nowhere like what was advertised on television. In fact, playing with the steam aspect of the cleaner wasn't verily fun at all after I realized that it wasn't cleaning like I saw on Tv. On the Tv spot they showed the steam coming out of the nozzle and decimating the dirt, just ripping it off the counters and sinks. It was truly spectacular how easy and fun it looked.

In reality though, the steam was just a sLight trickle that did very sLight to do away with the dirt. Even after setting it to the top setting, it did very sLight to clean my sink's surface. I assumed I was doing something wrong but no matter what I did, the cleaner failed to clean.

Steam can verily help clean things if it is harnessed correctly. It is tasteless in rug cleaning machines and can be used effectively to sanitize your carpets. But the handheld steam cleaner I got in the mail verily wasn't a machine that could clean anything. It serves me right for my weak late night moment of Watching infomercials.

Broccoli can be stored in the freezer for up to 10 months. Broccoli doesn't store very well after it's cooked, it will probably break apart when it is reheated. If you do want to store cooked broccoli anyway, steam it until tender and store in a plastic bag.

Another way of storing broccoli is to cut off an inch or so from the ends of the stalks, rinse the bunch in cold water and put it upright in a cold water filled bowl, just like flowers in a vase. Cover the bowl with a plastic bag and refrigerate it.

Broccoli should be refrigerated within 30 minutes of its purchase if at all possible, and should be stored unwashed (dry it if it is wet from the store) in a sealed plastic bag with holes poked with a fork to allow the air to circulate. Some population wrap it in newspaper before they refrigerate it, any way this does not seem to be a very productive method.

How to Cook Beet Leaves - Italian Style method

How to Cook Beet Leaves - Italian Style method


This quick, easy and wholesome dish provides a great way to use up those big green beet leaves which are often thrown out.   The leaves, like many green leafy vegetables are loaded with lots of vitamins and iron.  For those who struggle with anemia (low iron in the blood) this can certainly help.   It also helps to eat more leafy greens during a woman's premenstrual cycle because it adds iron in the body which helps compensate for the loss of iron which occurs.

To get started, all you need is 1 bunch of beet leaves, a few cloves of garlic, extra virgin olive oil and some water. 
Simply take 1 bunch of beet leaves and wash very well.  Do not use any discolored leaves which can appear yellow.  You want the deep green leaves.  You can keep the stems too.   Chop the leaves and stems (the stems will be a little bitter so you do nott have to use them) and set aside.   Crush a few cloves of garlic and saute the garlic in extra virgin olive oil for about 3 minutes over medium heat in a pan large enough to hold the leaves.  Do not let the garlic burn, this will ruin the whole dish.   Next add the beet leaves along with some water.  The water will help create steam for cooking.   If you add too much water, just let it cook off. Lower the heat to Low.   Cover and stir frequently until leaves are wilted and soft.   If you take off the leaves too soon, the leaves will be tough and hard to chew.   Add further water as needed to forestall leaves from sticking to pan.  Serve warm.This Italian dish can be served as a snack or as a nice side dish to a nice bowl of pasta, or even breaded chicken breasts with Italian seasonings. Enjoy!
