Thermometers: the long gray one is for general use (chicken breast, steak, pork chops) and the other round larger one is for when you to temp larger pieces of meat/chicken (roast beef, full turkey). Checking temperature is very critical to avoid food poisoning. You can find proper cooking temperatures on the internet for all types of meat, poultry and seafood.
The kitchen is the easiest room to declutter because seldom do we have feelings tied to a spatula like we do to a pair of expensive pants that no longer fit. Also, I figure if one day I need a special platter for a special dinner or event, I can simply go to the thrift shop and buy one, and then donate it back after the event. No need to store platters or seldom used items. I’m proud of my purged kitchen, now ask me about my closet. Enjoy!
I have favorite kitchen items. Plus some of them are things my grandmother passed on to my mom who has now passed them on to me. Plus I spend more on kitchen items than I do on clothes. I can thrift clothes but not a quality dutch oven. At least not at my local thrift stores. 😅
@@marthatrevino1776 I’m so glad to hear you’ve decluttered your kitchen. It’s the best feeling ever, right? And you’re right about not storing items that are seldom used. Thrifting is a great way to get something in a pinch! As for the clothes, they are difficult. I take the approach that if something in my closet is making me feel bad about myself, it needs to go (out the door or be put in my 6 month box to revisit later). It’s something that requires practice. 🤍
The 6 month box strategy is also a great approach. I’ve done that only once and it worked well. I didn’t get back to a size 8 in the time allotted, so out went the box, not even reopened to try on those work dresses one more time. Thx!!
@@jadadallas5891you are right. I do still hold on to those treasured items. There’s nothing like storing leftovers in a real Tupperware container a special friend gave mr before she moved away. I think of her every time I use the container.
Thank you, enjoyed the video. Your question about the meat thermometers-one is a leave in and one is an instant read. I don’t cook but my husband does and he has both😊
Lovely encouraging video! We just repositioned our whole kitchen, but this will help me think of my second pass!

I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you- sounds like I need to keep both thermometers. 😊 My husband also said he uses both.
Welp inspired! I have minimal supplies in the kitchen, but You just made me realize I have so much 😂
😂😂 it’s always more than we think! When I started this video, I didn’t think I even had as much as I did!
Can you link cleaner recipe? 😊
