Three Top Summer Kitchen Tips from Matt Reilly, OvenGleamers 1. Tear basil rather than cutting it?

Chefs often say that you must tear basil, rather than cut it with a knife, to get the best flavour.

Nope. The flavours in basil are primarily contained within the cells of the leaf. If you tear it, it tends to come apart between the cells but if you cut the leaf, you will break open the cells releasing the flavour. This makes the most difference when you are using the basil raw eg in a tomato salad.

Best to wash the basil, pat dry with paper towels, and remove the leaves from the stem. Stack several leaves together and roll into a cylinder, then cut crossways into thin strips.

2. Should I use foil on the base of my Oven?

Many people line their grill pan or the bottom of the oven with aluminum foil to keep their cookers cleaner. This becomes heavily coated in grease and smells revolting! But it actually damages the enamel in the grill pan and on the base of the oven. The foil creates a superheating effect by reflecting the heat back onto the base of the oven or grill pan which then causes enamel damage.

I recommend using an oven liner made from PTFE with a non-stick coating. This will catch any food drips keeping the bottom of the oven/grill pan clean. Remember to take the oven liner out regularly and wash it in warm soapy water.

3 “Hot pan - cold oil - prevents sticking” Is this mantra really the best way to prevent food from sticking to the pan when sautéing or stirfrying. The idea is that you heat up the pan first then add the cold oil and almost immediately add the food and that will stop it sticking. What you really want is a “hot pan, hot oil”. When you add cold oil, it heats up almost instantly when added to the hot pan – giving you “hot pan, hot oil”.

You get the same results if you heat the oil along with the pan so take your pick – they both work!

Colourfence are transforming gardens across Somerset!

The fence that repairs itself If you scratch or cut Colourfence, the ingenious zinc element in the Zincalume steel reacts with moisture to form a protective barrier to prevent any corrosion with no action needed from you.

It may do “exactly what it says on the tin” but let’s face it, treating a timber fence can never be called fun!

In fact, owning a timber fence isn’t much fun either with costly, time consuming maintenance and repairs almost every year.

Finally, the alternative to timber fencing…our fence goes up and stays up, resisting wind gusts of up to 130mph!

Colourfence fencing solutions are made from innovative Colorbond steel, virtually maintenance free with an occasional wash down with water to keep it looking as good as new - so you never need to pick up that paintbrush again!, Guaranteed not to rot, warp, chip or peel for 25 years.

Available in a variety of heights and colours with or without trellis, our skilled installation team will make short work of transforming your garden.

The best news is the pricing is just as attractive, starting costs are in line with comparable traditional systems but offer the ongoing peace of mind that your investment will continue to save time and money year after year.

For those of us who want a low maintenance garden, Colourfence promises a lifetime of hassle-free enjoyment.

STRONG, SECURE & BUILT TO LAST!

How to remain independent in your own home Staying independent in your own home means being able to do the things that matter to you, in the home you love. Balancing independent living with the care and support you need to feel comfortable and confident behind your own front door, is highly personal to you.

Should day-to-day tasks become a challenge, seeking help can be a great way to maintain your independence. Determining what support you would benefit from is the first step. It’s often the little things that make a big difference; like assistance with chores, your personal care, or household tasks and shopping, companionship, and wellbeing, getting out and about, or maintaining hobbies and interests.

The right home care can be life-changing.

Welcoming someone into your home requires trust. For your own peace of mind, seek out highly-trained, qualified carers, who are fully insured, work for a regulated care provider, and offer a wealth of knowledge and experience in home care. Look for experienced carers with established links with local community groups and organisations, who can ensure you receive person-centred care that meets your needs.

Choosing a larger, regulated care provider means that you will never be without high-quality care. Unlike self-employed carers and small micro-providers, should your usual carer be unavailable, a colleague who is equally qualified, compassionate, and understanding of you and your needs, will be available to support and ensure that you don’t go without. Your clear and detailed care plan, securely stored by the regulated care provider, will ensure that whoever delivers your care fully understands your circumstances and needs.

Getting support when you need it is also a key element to remaining independent; a larger care provider with a team of expert carers will have the flexibility to arrange home care visits, including evenings, weekends and Bank Holidays – regardless of whether you need short-term support or longer-term care.

Somerset Care’s established home care teams in and around Burnham-on-Sea and Highbridge are regulated by the Care Quality Commission, and are part of the not-for-profit Somerset Care Group.

Call 0800 817 4925 or visit somersetcare.co.uk to discover how you can live the life you choose at home, with support tailored to your individual needs.

Live the life you choose at home.

Are you losing speed through your Wi-Fi? With more and more customers taking advantage of full fibre internet with speeds up to 1000mbps, we often find that people are using their old Wi-Fi equipment to boost the signal.

Most Wi-Fi boosters over 5 years old will not allow the full speed to travel through them, due to older technology. For example, if you have 300mbps coming into the property, but are using older equipment to boost the signal, it is quite possible that you will only achieve a maximum of around 80mbps when boosted.

Another common issue is that people have upgraded their internet speed but comment that they haven’t noticed any difference on their equipment. Reasons for this include older equipment not being able to keep up with the faster speed, Wi-Fi aerials not accepting the newer speed plus anywhere with a deteriorating Wi-Fi signal due to poor boosting can also affect performance.

Recently, we visited a customer who had five Wi-Fi boosters around the house but was only getting a fraction of the speed when tested at the router, around the house. We replaced the Wi-Fi boosters with modern equipment and immediately speed was around 90% of the incoming speed at the furthest destination tested.

It is also not necessary to have an ethernet cable fitted around the house as modern Wi-Fi equipment uses a system called MESH which allows equipment to daisy chain to itself with only mains power needed.

Another customer had paid for the fastest speed possible, but could not see any improvement. This turned up to be his dated laptop, which we replaced for a modern fast unit, whilst keeping all his software and data intact. This immediately showed the full potential of his fast internet connection.

If you are suffering from any of the issues mentioned above, please get in touch as we can come and visit your home or place or work to suggest improvements. We have a number of solutions that can improve speed to all devices around the house, depending on requirements.

Are You A Happy Bus User? Volunteers needed to help out Twice a year the Local Transport Authority allows bus operators to change timetables, this usually is just before Spring and Autumn schools return from their breaks. We need you to help man stalls handing out paper timetables to those who need them AND also help out at other events promoting bus travel, adopt a bus stop: keep an eye out for cleanliness, shelter damage, graffiti and if correct timetable is shown in the case.

We are a community group totally manned by volunteers no fees or incidental expenses are paid.

Email: somersetbuspartnership@gmail.com

We would be happy to chat with anyone interested and answer any questions. Please ask them to give us a call here at Mendip Community Transport on 01749 880613 or via email at Faith.stevens@ mendipct.co.uk
