Cook Products

You can write the content, quantity, storage date and expiration date on the labeling area on Cook Double Zipper Bags.

Moreover, you do not need a special pen for this! You can use a ballpoint pen and see all the information about the product at once.

Some foods need to be stored in a special way.

For example, cookies that are harder and crispier in structure will remain crispier and more delicious when wrapped in Cook Aluminum Foil, while softer cookies will retain their texture better when wrapped in Cook Cling Film.

What should you do to prevent moisture in indoor spaces?

To prevent humidity in enclosed spaces, fill a Cook Zipper Bag with unprocessed salt, poke holes on the bag's surface with a fine needle, and place it next to dry foods on a shelf or in the cupboard. The salt will absorb humidity.

Did you know that you can use cling film as a multi-purpose product outside of the kitchen?

Keeping easily soiled computer keyboards clean, protecting sensitive electronic devices like cameras from adverse weather conditions, and preventing partially used paint and other liquids from leaking and drying are just a few of these. How do you use Cook Cling Film?

Do your refrigerator shelves get dirty very quickly?

To keep glass shelves clean for longer and make them easy to clean when dirty, cover them with Cooking Cling Film. This way, you can clean up spills in one go by simply removing the film!

Which side of aluminum foil should you use?

We can almost hear you asking, "Shiny or matte?" Both surfaces of aluminum foil have the same properties. The reason one side is shinier than the other is because the surface that comes into contact with the steel reels during the final winding process in production acquires a shinier appearance.

Did you know that aluminum foil has the lowest water vapor permeability among storage products?

This way, it helps foods retain their natural liquids. You can safely use aluminum foil for long-term freezing and storage.

A funnel made of Cook Aluminum Foil?

Thanks to its easy-to-shape structure, you can use Cook Aluminum Foil by bending it into a funnel shape to transfer liquid and powdered foods when necessary!

Cook Aluminum Foil is on duty for your art projects!

Need a comfortable work surface, but don't want it to get wet and dirty? Cover your work surface with Cooking Aluminum Foil or Cling Film to keep it clean!

We know we shouldn't pour oil waste down the sink. So what should we do?

We have a suggestion for animal based oil waste! Line a deep bowl with cooking foil and pour the waste oil into it. Once the oil has frozen, you can collect it and dispose of it — a practical and environmentally friendly solution.

Did you know that you can also use aluminum foil as a reflector in your projects?

Aluminum Foil also has reflective and conductive properties and is widely used in heat, electrical and electromagnetic insulation.

Do you want your ice to look crystal-like and vibrant?

Boil water before freezing it. Once it's cooled, place it in a Cook Ice Cubes Bag and freeze. Boiling water reduces the amount of oxygen in it, making your ice appear more vibrant and crystal-like.

Bananas make a great quick snack! But what if they turn black before you even have a chance to eat them?

By wrapping the stem part of the banana with Cook Cling Film or Cook Aluminum Foil, you can prevent air from getting in and thus keep this delicious fruit fresh for longer!

All the preparations for Sunday breakfast are complete... What's that? Is the bread stale?

Moisten the stale bread a little and bake it in Cook Roasting Bag to enjoy a fresh bread!

If you have difficulty removing your glittery or dark nail polish, here's a practical solution!

Place a cotton ball soaked in nail polish remover on your nails and wrap it in aluminum foil. Wait 2-3 minutes, then peel it off to see the results!

Ideal Storage

The secret to freshness is a light-tight and airy pantry!

For ideal storage conditions, make sure your pantry is dark and well-ventilated. The foods you carefully prepare will always stay fresh.

What is the ideal humidity and temperature for dry foods?

Dried foods, such as tomatoes that you carefully dried in summer, should be stored at a maximum humidity of 70% and a temperature of 15 - 20°C.

For ideal storage conditions, you should store similar foods together and different foods separately.

For example, you can store rice and pasta on one shelf and canned goods in different one. This way, you can easily find what you're looking for as well!

Protect your food from sunlight.

We all love sunny summer days, but make sure your food in glass jars is protected from sunlight.

To consume before it spoils, use the old first, the new later!

It's great to always have the products you use most on hand! But make sure newer items are kept further back or at the bottom of the shelf so you can use older items first.

Do not leave food open!

You can store your food with opened foil or cardboard packages in a Cook Freezer Bag or Double Zipper Bag to prevent air exposure and keep them fresh.

Pay attention to the expiration date!

All dry goods, except sugar, have an expiration date. Be sure to check them often!

Remember, how you store your food determines its shelf life.

To preserve the freshness of your food from the moment you pick it, you should store it in a cool, dry place until you get it home and store it in suitable Cook products. This will extend its shelf life. This storage period will vary depending on how fresh you start storing it, its storage temperature, humidity, and storage method.

Buzdolabında Saklama

Her meyve ve sebzenin taze kalabilmesi için belirli bir sıcaklık ve nem aralığına ihtiyacı vardır.

Bu koşullar sağlandığında gıdalar, birkaç günden 5-6 aya kadar taze kalabilir. Meyve ve sebzelerin yapısı zamanla bozulur ve mikroorganizmalar devreye girer. Buzdolabındaki soğuk hava, meyve ve sebzelerin solunum hızını yavaşlatarak taze kalmalarını sağlar. Derin dondurucuda ise metabolik faaliyetler tamamen durur, bu sayede tazelik korunur. Bu yüzden, uzun süre saklanacak gıdalar dondurulurken kısa sürede tüketilecekler buzdolabında saklanmalıdır. Ancak unutmayalım ki, her meyve ve sebzenin buzdolabı koşullarında saklanması uygun olmayabilir. Karpuz, kavun ve domates gibi gıdalar soğukta zarar görür.

Gıdalarınızı dondururken küçük porsiyonlar halinde, mümkün olduğunca hızlı ve düz bir şekilde dondurmalısınız.

Neden mi? Çünkü dondurma işlemi esnasında ilk olarak hücreler arasında bulunan nem donar. Bu işlem daha hızlı olduğunda, eşit miktarda buz kristali oluşur ve böylece daha az hücre zarar görür.

Buzdolabında sakladığınız gıdalar birbirine çok yakın paketlenmemelidir.

Buzdolabınızın içindeki hava iyi sirküle olabilecek şekilde ve uygun derecede olmalıdır. Ayrıca buzlanmayı önlemek için gıdaların buzdolabının arka duvarı ile temas etmemesine de dikkat!

Porsiyonluk gıdalarınızın porsiyonlarını korumak için ayrı ayrı paketlemelisiniz.

Veya arasına pişirme kağıdı koyarak dondurmayı deneyebilirsiniz. Böylece birbirine yapışmaz ve porsiyonlar kolaylıkla ayrılabilir. Örneğin, şnitzel gibi etleri ve hamburger köftelerini arasına pişirme kağıdı koyarak poşetleyebilir veya sosis, salam gibi gıdaları dilimler halinde ya da küp küp Cook Buzdolabı Poşetlerinde mükemmel bir şekilde dondurabilirsiniz.

Balık dondurulmadan önce temizlenmiş ve fileto şeklinde olmalıdır.

Eğer taze balığı önce buzlu suya batırır, ardından streç filme sarar ve sonrasında Cook Buzdolabı Poşetine koyarak dondurucuda saklarsanız tazeliğini daha uzun süre koruyabilirsiniz.

Sebzelerin türü ve hasat zamanı, taze sebzelerin ne zaman dondurulacağını belirlemek için önemlidir.

Hasattan Cook Buzdolabı Poşetine kadar geçen süre, gıdaların tazeliğini bu esnada kaybetmemesi için çok uzun olmamalıdır.

Dondurmadan önce haşlamak ya da haşlamamak? Kararsızlığınızı hissedebiliyoruz.

İşte küçük bir öneri! Sebzelerinizi kaynayan suda kısa bir süre bekletmek ve sonrasında soğuk suya daldırmak, sebzelerinizin kendine özgü rengini, tadını ve bunun yanı sıra vitamin ve mineral değerlerini korumanızı sağlar. Buna “blanch etmek” de denir. Bu işlemden sonra gıdalarınızı dondurmak, daha sonraki pişme süresini de kısaltarak size zaman kazandırır. Peki ya meyveler? Örneğin, elmaların ve armutların dilimlenmiş halde mükemmel bir şekilde dondurulabileceğini biliyor muydunuz? Cook Buzdolabı Poşetinde dondurmadan önce kısa bir süre haşlayın ve dondurduğunuzda yüzeyinin buz tutmaması için kurulayın. İhtiyacınız olduğunda komposto, puding ya da sos yapmak için donuk halde kullanın.

Kremalı pastayı dondur öyle sakla!

Kremalı pastalarınızı en iyi şekilde dondurucuda saklamak için önce dilimleyin, sonra dilimleri birleştirip Cook Buzdolabı Poşetine yerleştirerek dondurun. Pasta karışımı ya da dolgusunu kullanmadan önce oda sıcaklığında çözülmesini bekleyin.

Ekmeklerini taze taze saklamayı kim istemez?

Dilimlenmiş ekmeklerinizi dondurmadan önce Cook Pişirme Kağıdı ile tek tek ayırabilir, ihtiyacınız olduğunda kolayca dilediğiniz miktarı çözdürebilirsiniz.

Yağlı süt ürünleri ve birçok peynir türü dondurmak için uygundur.

Daha yağlı süt ürünleri ve daha az nem içeren peynirler dondurmak için daha uygundur. Peynirinizi eğer dondurmadan önce dilimleyip, dilimleri de Cook Pişirme Kağıdı ya da Cook Alüminyum Folyo ile ayırır, sonrasında Cook Buzdolabı Poşetinde saklarsanız dilediğiniz porsiyonda peyniri çıkarıp kullanabilirsiniz.

Bazı gıdaların dondurulması uygun değildir.

Marul, kavun, salatalık gibi su içeriği yüksek olan gıdalar bunların başında gelir. Süt, krema, yoğurt ya da ricotta gibi günlük ürünler de taze olarak tüketilmelidir.

Dondurucu yanığı nedir?

Dondurulmuş gıdaların havayla temas etmesi ya da sıcaklıkta dalgalanmalar olması durumunda bu gıdalar yer yer kuruyarak grimsi kahverengiye çalan bir renk alır. Buna dondurucu yanığı denir. Yüksek su içerikli gıdalar genellikle buna daha yatkındır. Dondurucu yanığı olan gıdalar sağlığınıza zararlı değildir. Su kaybı proteinlerin denatürasyonuna, yağların ve diğer maddelerin oksitlenmesine sebep olur. Bu da gıdaların rengini ve kokusunu etkiler. Bunun önüne geçmek için gıdaları mümkün olduğunca düz paketleyin ve poşetin havasını mümkün olduğunca alın. Cook Çift Kilitli Poşet size bu konuda yardımcı olabilir! Sıcaklık dalgalanmalarından korunmak için ise buzluğu mümkün olan en kısa süre açık tutun.

Frozen Foods

Is it possible to defrost frozen foods faster thanks to the thermal conductivity of metals?

By taking advantage of metals' thermal conductivity and large surface area, you can thaw your food faster! Place your large quantities of food on an aluminum tray or steel pan and watch how quickly it thaws thanks to heat conduction!

Thaw your frozen food in water with the Double Cook Zipper Bag!

You can thaw small-volume foods in Cook Double Zipper Bag by immersing them in cold water. After placing the food you want to defrost inside, squeeze out the air and seal the double zipper completely. (Warning: When thawing meat, fish, and chicken, discard the thawed and accumulated liquid immediately. Thawed foods, other than cooked foods, should be used quickly and not refrozen.)

Foods should be thawed as gently as possible.

The appropriate methods for defrosting each food may vary. For example, foods like meat, poultry, and bread should be thawed in the refrigerator at +5°C; delicate foods like pasta, chops, and steak should be thawed in the oven or in the kitchen at +20°C to 30°C; and meat, poultry, cooked foods, and fruit should be thawed in the microwave using the defrost setting (see manufacturer's instructions).

First thaw it, then fry till becomes crispy in the oven!

You can thaw foods like bread and scones at room temperature for a short time and then heat them in the oven for about 5 minutes to preserve their crispy texture.

Long-Term Fresh Fruits and Vegetables

Did you know that fruits and vegetables affect each other's ripening times?

Some vegetables naturally release ethylene, while others are sensitive to it. Ethylene is a plant hormone that plays a key role in ripening fruits and vegetables. Separating these two types of fruits and vegetables will help them stay fresher longer.

Separate the bruised and rotten fruits and veggies as quickly as possible.

To extend the shelf life of your food, you should immediately remove rotten ones from others to prevent mold from spreading.

How should you store root vegetables?

Root vegetables like potatoes, garlic, onions, artichokes, and pumpkins should be stored in a cool, dry, and ventilated area; away from direct sunlight, rather than in the refrigerator. These vegetables can withstand temperatures of up to approximately 10-15°C for extended periods. Cook Fruits and Vegetables Bag, with its air holes, can help!

Storing potatoes in the refrigerator causes the starch in them to turn into sugar.

Also, the skins of potatoes stored in the refrigerator will darken quickly as they cook.

Do you also think that potatoes and onions are an inseparable duo in the kitchen?

Unfortunately, we're in the bad habit of storing potatoes and onions together. In fact, we need to store them separately and away from each other, as the natural gases they emit interact, causing them to spoil quickly. It's time to say goodbye to each other until they meet again on the kitchen counter!

image
Garlic should be stored at room temperature in a Cook Fruits and Vegetables Bag or in an open-topped basket.

With proper storage conditions, garlic can be stored up to two months. Unfortunately, if stored in the refrigerator, it will quickly sprout and its odor may leach into other foods.

Do you put tomatoes in the fridge as soon as you get them from the market?

Cold weather stops tomatoes from ripening and makes them less flavorful. To prevent them from ripening too quickly and becoming soft, they should be stored in Cook Fruits and Vegetables Bag or perforated container at room temperature, away from direct sunlight.

For avocados to ripen, they should be kept at room temperature.

If you want them to ripen faster, you can wrap them in baking paper and store in a dark place for 1-2 days. Be careful! Don't forget to check them frequently. If you're using half of the avocado and storing the other half, store the half with the seed in the refrigerator.

Bananas need to ripen at room temperature.

You can store ripe bananas in the refrigerator to prevent them from ripening further and spoiling. The skins of bananas stored in the refrigerator will turn brown, but when you peel them, you'll see that the color remains the same. Cook Fruits and Vegetables Bags are a great solution for storing fruit in an organized and airtight manner!

How should you store the fresh and fragrant apples you just bought from the market?

If you're going to eat apples quickly, there's no need to store them in the refrigerator. Cold air reduces the antioxidant content in apple peels. For long-term storage, store them in a Cook Fruits and Vegetables Bag in the fruits and vegetables section of your refrigerator. Apples can stay fresh for up to a week at room temperature and even longer in the refrigerator.

How should you store fruits like peaches, apricots, nectarines, plums and cherries?

If these fruits aren't too soft and you'll be using them quickly, you can store them at room temperature. Once they've softened and the fruity aroma has intensified, they should be refrigerated and consumed within 3-5 days. Cook Fruits and Vegetables Bags are a great solution for storing fruits in an organized and airtight manner!

Got some delicious kiwis from the market, but are they too tough to eat yet?

If you store the kiwis overnight in a Cook Freezer Bag with apples or pears, you'll see them ripen quickly.
