hi everybody my name is alicia welcome
back to top words in today's episode
we're going to talk about 10 kitchen
objects so let's go
spatula
first word the first word is spatula
spatula so a spatula is like a food
shovel it's like a it's like a tool you
use to flip something in your kitchen so
made of plastic made of metal you can
flip things like pancakes or omelets
with a spatula spatula so in a sentence
flip pancakes with a spatula
pan
the next word is pan pan so a pan is a
piece of kitchen equipment you use to
cook something they can be small pans
they can be larger you might call it a
fry pan something that's maybe this size
and about this deep there are sauce pans
which are about this deep and maybe
about this big around so each pan has a
different use depending on your level of
cooking skill you can have
a variety of things you can do with pans
maybe i don't know i'm just rambling
okay in a sentence you can make a lot of
delicious things with just one pan
that's true
measuring cup
the next word is measuring cup measuring
cup a measuring cup is a cup that you
use to measure things usually
well actually there are liquid measuring
cups and there are like solids measuring
cups so liquids like meaning water juice
beer wine whatever and then there are
solids so we can put like flour or sugar
or
some other like herb for example to uh
to measure so there are two different
ways two different types of measuring
cup but they have some kind of measuring
system on the side like milliliters
or maybe i don't know ounces i don't
know depending on what you use so a
measuring cup very handy to have in your
kitchen
in a sentence
i cut my hand open on a measuring cup
once
knife
the next word is knife knife so a knife
is a sharp tool you use to cut things
there can be a chef's knife a big one a
paring knife a small one there's a fish
knife and a bread knife
all kinds of knives but really you only
need one good chef's knife for your
kitchen to do most things anyway in a
sentence every cook needs a good knife
pot
the next word is pot pot so a pot is you
can think of a pot like a large deep pan
really we use pots usually to make soup
or perhaps i guess to make a lot of
sauce i don't know but a pot is just
something that's large and deep and we
can put lots of liquid in it that's a
pot maybe it has a lid as well in a
sentence put all of the ingredients in a
pot and cook
refrigerator
the next word is refrigerator
refrigerator is a fun word to say we
often shorten the word refrigerator to
fridge fridge
so a refrigerator is the place where you
store where you keep
your food so cold food or maybe frozen
food so uh refrigerator and freezer are
different please keep that in mind
refrigerator just means cold
freezing means it's below
zero degrees celsius so that means it's
frozen like you can make ice in that
atmosphere in that environment
refrigerator is just cold so keep your
food in the refrigerator in a sentence
she has a huge refrigerator
dishes
the next word is dishes dishes so dishes
is just is the word we use to mean like
your plates and your bowls and your cups
really so plates bowls cups we say those
are dishes like in a sentence do the
dishes it means wash all of the plates
cups and bowls so dishes means those
three things generally so dishes dishes
all of that is
summed up in one word we can use one
word for that in a sentence i keep all
my dishes in cupboards
cutlery silverware flatware
the next word is actually three words it
is cutlery silverware and flatware so
you might hear these words used
interchangeably you might hear these
words used in the same way
but generally we say like cutlery i
suppose or we break these words down so
these all three refer to forks knives
spoons the things we use to eat food the
tools we use to take food from a plate
to take food from a dish and put it in
our mouth that that equipment is uh
cutlery or flatware or silverware
silverware would technically mean like
you know that equipment made from silver
i think but
to use a more general word we say
cutlery most of the time
but if you want to be specific you can
say fork spoon knife chopstick whatever
it's up to you so these are kind of
three words that refer to the same thing
in a sentence washing silverware is such
a pain
cutting board
the next word is cutting board a cutting
board so a cutting board is a piece of
wood or maybe plastic you use uh under
something you are preparing to cook so
if you're cutting carrots you put the
cutting board or just board down on your
counter or table put the carrot on top
and cut so we we use it
to guard our knife and our counter from
uh the cutting action or i suppose i
should say we are guarding the knife
from the counter and we are guarding the
counter from the knife so the cutting
board acts to hold everything in place
and to keep everything
like kind of nice and clean and tidy and
in good shape so a cutting board is
essential for a good kitchen in a
sentence i wish i had a nice cutting
board
baking sheet
the last word is baking sheet a baking
sheet a baking sheet is a piece of
equipment that is oven safe we can put
it in the oven and it will not melt it
will not break down at all
we use it to bake maybe cookies or we
can use it to bake meat for example a
baking sheet it looks like a sheet of
metal really in some cases maybe it has
sides to it as well but it's just a
simple piece of usually metal of some
kind that is oven safe it's easy to use
for the oven that's called a baking
sheet in a sentence
lime baking sheets with parchment paper
