Ducky Turn! | Vivianne Miedema x Reader

You watched as Viv walked into the press conference room, trailing slightly behind Jonas. She was chatting animatedly to Connie, one of the Arsenal staff, and holding a reusable coffee tumbler in one hand. You also know that inside that tumbler is Viv’s favourite coffee "Morning Bliss," a small-batch, artisanal coffee roaster that you had bought from one of the local coffee shops in your area. She would sometimes bring a small bag of coffee beans to training or match days, and when you would ask her where she’ll find supplies to make the coffee, she’ll reply back with a“if there’s a will, there’s a way”. It’s become the only brand of coffee that Viv drinks.

Every morning, Viv likes to indulge herself in what she calls her “ritual”. The dutch begins her ritual by carefully measuring out the perfect amount of Morning Bliss beans. She prefers a medium roast, with notes of caramel and toasted almonds that allow the perfect balance of sweet to the bitter. She would grind the beans to perfection and then use the fancy sleek, stainless steel drip coffee maker that she had treated herself to a few months ago. As she waits for the brewing to complete, she would bask in the stillness and the quiet that is a rarity these days– or at least during the last 3 years. 

Viv would then pour herself a cup, inhaling deeply as the steam rises and the aroma fills the empty kitchen. As she takes that first sip of her perfectly brewed coffee, Viv could not help but smile. For her, starting the day than with a cup of her favourite coffee is the second best thing to start the day. The first is–

She hears the pitter patter of little feet before she sees her. 

“Mama!”

Evelyn, or Evie for short, is the best parts of you and Viv. Everyone says Evelyn is a spitting image of you—from the blonde curls that tumble down her back in unruly waves, to her vibrant hazel eyes, flecked with hints of green and gold. Evelyn has your nose, petite and slightly upturned, and dotted with the same freckles across her cheeks that Viv loves to kiss every night before bed. 

You say it’s too early to tell what kind of person your daughter will grow up to be, but you swear she’s Viv's mini me. They both have the same stubbornness (although Viv would argue you were also a contender), the same outgoing personality, and the same sheer curiosity for the world around her. Like you, your little girl is always eager to explore new places and try new things. Whether it's taking the dogs out on new hiking trails, or embarking on a family camping trip, her adventurous spirit knows no bounds.

During her ballet class, Evelyn loves to wear colourful ribbons and bows in her hair. She keeps the same ribbons in her hair during football practice too. When she laughs, her nose crinkles up in the most adorable way, just like Viv. She loves to burst into a song or hum the tune of her favourite music, just like you do. She is your pride and joy, and your greatest accomplishment in life.

But she is also a whirlwind of energy that leaves a trail of chaos and laughter in her wake wherever she goes.

Viv recognises that gleam in Evie’s eyes and the furrow in her eyebrows as she glances at the last two steps leading to the kitchen.

Her daughter was going to jump.

Viv hastily puts her cup down and lurches forward, catching the tornado that is her child. There is not a day that goes by where Viv does not thank her athleticism for being able to keep up with her little daredevil. 

She grasps her fearless little girl under her arms just before she can land the short distance to the ground. “Mama, Ducky jump!”

“I saw that, Ducky” She settles Evelyn on her hip, pressing a few kisses to her rosy cheek still warm from sleep. “But I’d rather not see that again. How many times have I told you you can’t jump from there”

“But I jump, Mama. Like a duck jumping in water!” Ducks are the little girl’s latest fixation– she loves going to the pond to watch the ducks, she loves to talk about ducks, she loves her duck stuffed animals etc. Viv thinks your daughter’s fascination with ducks was inevitable. When Evelyn was born, she was sweetly bundled in a light yellow blanket with a matching yellow beanie to warm her little head. Your private midwife briefly commented about how Evelyn little lips were constantly pursed in a pout whenever she slept, like that of a little duckling. Ever since then, “Ducky” became one of her nicknames.

Evelyn points one little chubby finger towards the kitchen counter where a plate of bite-sized waffles await her. 

“Waffles!” 

Viv snags the plate of waffles off the counter and deposits her duck-obsessed child into her booster chair. She hands her a fork and takes a seat on the chair right beside her. “Waffles yellow– like duckies, Mama!” 

Viv smiles endearingly at her daughter, all cherubic face and bouncy curls. “Just like duckies, Evie” 

——————————

Now at the press conference, you watch as Viv and Jonas take their seats in front of the press, politely saying a few greetings to some familiar faces. Viv’s eyes meet yours briefly and she offers you a quick wink. 

Jonas leans forward in his seat and starts the press. “Hello, everyone. Let’s get this started then– I’ve got Vivianne Miedema with me today”

Being married to a footballer had it’s perks– free match tickets, the cool events, club merchandise, and the occasional Adidas billboards of your wife which your daughter loves to excitedly point out every time she spots one. However, sometimes it seems not everyone understands the difference between the Viv, the mum and wife, versus Vivianne Miedema, the footballer. 

“Everyone” being your toddler. 

She still hasn’t fully grasped the fact that her Mama can’t be on her beck and call, especially while she is at work. At the age of 3, she can’t tell the difference between the football that she plays at school and the football that her Mama plays. To her, it’s exactly the same. 

After all, during her football practice if she looks to the sidelines where the other mummies and daddies are watching and yells for her Mama, her Mama will come running. In Evie’s mind, if she wants Mama, she’ll go to Mama. 

You glance down at the little girl tucked in your arms. She was all buzz and energy throughout the match, crawling from lap to lap, jumping, dancing and shouting. It was no surprise that she was starting to doze off now. You were standing off to one side of the room, leaning against the wall to support the weight resting on your front. Evie was curled up in your arms, her eyes tiredly blinking open and closed a few times. Her tiny body was limp in your arms, her breath was evening out, and just like when she first came into this world, her little rosy lips were formed into a pout.

Just like a little duckling.

But despite your soft whispers to try to and lull her to sleep, your stubborn child was determined to fight the pull of slumber. You knew she wanted to see her Mama, just as she always did after a match. It was their routine, and Evie hated breaking routines. 

“First question for Jonas…” You tune out the press for a brief moment, reaching out to adjust the yellow noise cancelling headphones that were slipping off of Evelyn’s head when all of a sudden she opens her eyes and sits up in your arms. You didn’t have to guess what had woken up your child when you hear it. “– now a question for Viv Miedema…”

What was once a sleepy and tired toddler is now gone. In it’s place is a little girl who has realised her favourite person is in the room. Her eyes were now bright and alert, craning her neck to follow the sound of her mama’s voice booming from the speakers around the room. 

“…don't really think I celebrate goals but all the girls came up to me and they were taking the mick out of me because they were like 'You were actually celebrating’–“

You should’ve anticipated it. You should’ve know it. But by then it was too late.

“Mama!” 

Your daughter yells for Viv, lurching forward with her arms open and fingers pointing towards where Viv was sitting at the front of the room. You had no choice but to crouch down so you could stead your suddenly wiggly child. 

“Ducky, that’s enough” You speak in a hushed but firm tone. You knew that if you were to use your “Mummy voice” it would likely result in tears, and your daughter was not a quiet crier. “Mama is working right now”

But Evie was very determined to get to her mama, hastily trying to tug away from your hold on her arm. You knew heads were turning towards the both of you.

“Want Mama!” 

“Evelyn–“ You try to hug her, wanting to pick her up and run out of the room before she causes anymore distractions. Right now she was the epitome of an incoming toddler tantrum. Her chest heaved with each shaky breath, her small shoulders rising and falling with the weight of her emotions. Her cheeks flushed pink with frustration, and her fists clenched at her sides. 

“No no no no!” Her favourite word as of late and she was proudly demonstrating that she knew just how to use it. "No NO!"

Her big, doe-like eyes were glistening with unshed tears. Her bottom lip quivered as she stood cocooned in your arms, but furiously squirming away from your hold. In your daughter’s mind, being told that she can’t go to her Mama right now was the most devastating thing in the world, and the injustice of it all was threatening to overwhelm her.

“–Liefje” 

You look up as the sound of your wife’s voice and the familiar nickname echos around the room through the microphone. You crane your neck and you spot her now standing up from her chair, holding the mic to her mouth. She gives you a knowing smile. Viv always knows what to do.

“I’ll take her, Liefje. Give her to me” Viv waves a hand, beckoning you both closer. 

You pick up your still teary, pouty daughter and hoist her up to your hip. You walk the short distance towards the front of the room where Viv and Jonas are waiting. 

“Looks like Mama wants you, ducky” You murmur softly in Evie’s ear, pushing the curls of hair away from her eyes. Like a switch, your daughter perks up in your arms, twisting her head towards where you were heading. You could feel her little legs kicking the air in excitement. What a mood switch. 

You stop by the side of the small stage, placing Evie on her feet and quickly grab her hairband that was in your pocket. “Wait one second, Ducky. Let’s fix your hair.” There were cameras around and you would imagine that 10 years from now, your daughter will never forgive you if you let her stand in front of the cameras with a bird nest on top of her head. 

The hairband dangled from your fingers as you attempted to tame Evie’s unruly locks into a neat ponytail. But your daughter was having none of it. She wriggled, clearly eager to get to her Mama, as she batted your hands away.

And like always, Viv knew just what to do to keep your daughter from fussing. Temporarily. “Hi Ducky”

“Mama!” Chuckles round the room when mother and daughter exchanged waves of greetings to each other as if they hadn’t seen each other for days when in reality it had only been a few hours. 

You sighed, a hint of amusement twinkling in your eyes as you gently combed through Evie’s hair with your fingers. “Almost done" you coaxed, your voice gentle and patient as you worked to wrangle your little girl’s wayward curls. You settled on just pushing the front pieces of hair away from her eyes with the hairband. “All done. Now you can go to Mama” 

Evie did not need to be told twice. 

Her little legs pumped furiously and her curly hair bounced behind her. She ran around the table, past Jonas’ chair, to where Viv was standing waiting for her. Viv swings her daughter up to her hip and you watch as Viv leans close to whisper by her ear– most likely prompting Evie to greet the journalists and cameras. Your suspicions were confirmed when your little social butterfly happily waves a hand and bellows a little “hello!”

Your smile widens when her greeting is echoed by all the journalists, some waving back just as eagerly as your toddler. 

Viv then proceeds to sit back down, placing Evie on her lap. Your wife adjusts her chair and shuffles closer to the mic. “Sorry for that everyone…” 

She gestures to the toddler who is currently conspiring with the Arsenal manager. “This one is going through a phase where I am her favourite person, and I’m making the most of it until she realises her Mummy is more fun than me” 

Laughter rings around the room, but all you give the grinning dutch at the table is an eye roll. You know Evie loves you, but her bond with Viv was something special. Evelyn is Viv’s little shadow. 

One of the journalists kindly gestures for you to take the seat next to him in front row of the table and you thank him as you take a seat. 

“Right then. Let’s continue…” Jonas starts the press again, and this time, your toddler is happily sitting on her Mama’s lap. 

———————————-

So far the press is continuing on as normal. Journalists are prepared with questions for Viv and Jonas. “My question is for Viv.” You crane your neck to see a journalists a few rows behind you hold a hand up. “You have broken countless records in England. Arsenal literally put you on a pedestal with a temporary statue outside the Emirates Stadium, a first for a female player. Do things like that matter?” Viv leans forward towards the mic. “No not at all. I’ve already had five great years but I indicated to the club that we have to do better. Other players have done that too. Hopefully the club can bring in some reinforcements this summer– 

“AH!” Evie leans up, her little head nearly clashing into her Mama’s chin if it weren’t for Viv’s reflexes, and speaks directly into the mic. She giggles when it echos back. 

You wince as the mic feedback rings loudly in the room. 

“–Ducky, this mic is not for you. Mama’s trying to answer the question” Viv whispers but it obviously gets caught by the microphone and broadcasted to the entire room. You press your lips together to conceal your giggle as you watch your wife attempt to coax your daughter into letting go of the mic stand. Unfortunately, it seems your daughter is very fixated on the microphone because she tries to grab for it again. 

But Viv is faster. She hauls Evie off her lap for a second, turning her around so she is facing Viv and not the mic. 

“Ducky turn!” Your daughter whines loudly. She is clearly displeased at being turned away from her new toy. She pouts, twisting her body back around, and points at the mic. “Ducky turn! Ducky turn!”

You never though you would say this, but maybe there are consequences in teaching your daughter how to share and take turns. 

And your wife seems to think the same. “Well…at least you all have proof that we are teaching her how to take turns properly” She chuckles endearingly at the pouty toddler on her lap. 

“Okay” Viv relents with a sigh. “Ducky gets a turn.” She lifts Evie and turns her back around so she is facing the rest of the room, the press, and her shiny new toy– the black microphone. 

You shake your head as you watch your wife visibly soften. Evie has Viv wrapped around her little finger from the day she was born. Viv is almost always unable to deny her daughter anything, even if she claims to be the more stricter parent out of the two of you. 

“Since it’s Ducky’s turn, why don’t you have a go at answering the questions then?” Viv pulls the chair closer towards the table so Evie can reach the mic more comfortably. She directs the question to everyone in the room, clearly giving the reporters permission to ask Evie some questions. 

Not a second later, a few hands are up in the air. You smile at the sight of these very professional reporters taking the time to entertain your daughter’s antics, no matter how silly they may be. 

Jonas playfully gasps and leans into his mic. “Wow Evie, look at that! So many people want to ask you questions” 

“What do you think, ducky?” Viv asks the grinning toddler in her lap. “Which question shall we take?”

Your daughter cutely scrunches her face in concentration, one chubby little finger tapping her lips as if she was contemplating the secrets of the universe. You watch as she scans her choices of eager hands, and then points to a man sitting by the front row. You watch as Evie lean up to whisper something to her Mama and then turns back around with a shy smile. 

“Evie will take a question from the man in the front row with the yellow tie” Of course, it’s the yellow tie. Anything yellow is guaranteed to win your daughter over.

“Hello Miss Evelyn. My question for you is: what did you think of your Mum scoring two goals today?”

You watch as Viv pulls the mic closer towards Evie, giving her a nod of support when your daughter turns to her for encouragement.

“Uh…” You cringe internally as your daughter presses her mouth as close to the mic as possible, practically gnawing on it, and the sound is magnified by the speakers. The press seem to take it to stride, a few coos of encouragement sounding around the room. “…I like duckies”

“Oh! That’s nice” Bless the journalist. You doubt that bit would make it to the final draft of the article. “Ducks are quite nice, aren’t they?”

Your daughter nods and hums into the mic, wriggling from her spot on your wife’s lap, clearly eager to talk more about her favourite subject. “Duckies yellow!”

You watch as the journalists couldn't help but be charmed by Evelyn’s enthusiasm, their professional demeanour melting away as they listened to your spirited little girl. Some even leaned in closer, eager to catch every word she says, the cameras capturing the moment.

“Ducks are yellow, clever girl! But let Mama have a turn now, please” You try to stifle your laughter behind your hand as Viv has to practically wrestle the mic away from Evie, grabbing both of her little hands in one of hers to settle the mischievous toddler. 

———————————————

Viv was more than happy to continue the rest of the press with her daughter in her lap, even if she has to routinely stop and grab a little hand as it beelines for the microphone. Viv lets Evie babble into the microphone a more few times and she couldn’t help but feel a swell of pride in her heart. She may be a footballer on the pitch, but her greatest joy was sitting right here in her lap, eager to share in her world, one stolen microphone at a time.

“Do you want to say anything to Mummy?” Viv points you out for your daughter to see. It was already nearing the end of the press conference. "Anything to say to Mummy before we finish?”

Your daughter thinks for a moment, her face titling to the side and her nose adorably scrunching up in concentration. Thinking about what to say to your Mummy is a very big task for a 3 year old. The room goes silent as everyone waits with baited breath. 

“…I- I love you, Mummy” 

Hey, my loves!

It's been while since I posted and that's mainly due to life getting in the way + not being inspired to write. By some miracle, I somehow managed to finish writing this short little fic (featuring a different player this time– surprise!). This was inspired by seeing that cute video of Alex Morgan and her daughter doing post-match interviews lol

hopefully this will only motivate me to keep on writing.

I appreciate all of you, thanks for being patient

top five kitchen items you can't live without? or ten if it's easier. personally i am so so so grateful for access to an enameled cast iron dutch oven and it makes me wonder what others use ?

oohhh that's such a good question!! im gna have to go to ten LOL

a good chef's knife !! i tend to heavily favor my knives and could run my kitchen w just one or two easily

a big heavy bottomed pot for sauces n pasta n soups, i'd love to have a dutch oven someday lol

cast iron skillet. it is divisive which style of frying pan is best, ppl tend to be deeply loyal to their favorites. i favor a cast iron for most things, especially searing meats, making dutch babies, pizzas, veggies, fried eggs, and so on !! my go-to!! also love that it can go in the oven reliably. but i'd be lying if i wasn't attached to all my pans :'')

stainless or carbon steel pan. has it's moments where it's the right tool for the job. i like these for making fish w a good crispy skin or emulsifying my pasta water w my pasta n sauce

nonstick pan. rare, but useful for things like scrambled eggs and pancakes, delicate things like that.

this is a recent discovery for me, but a food scale!! has been sooo useful for me i've eliminated the use of measuring cups n spoons in my practice (especially 4 baking!!)

a fish spatula!! she's multi-talented <3

tongs or metal chopsticks r saviors for me bc i intuitively want to just use my hands to flip everything and these r a decent substitute to save the tips of my fingers, also great for stirring and imo could sub for a whisk

a large cake pan!! versatile, can roast veggies or proteins in it, bake cakes or cookies, can be used in prep work. just a nice little extra thingy to have around

a set of mixing bowls in a WIDE range of sizes ! soooo nice to have many on hand when meals have multiple components

Mandarin Orange Curd

★★★★★ 5 from 5 reviews

Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale x9

9 large eggs

18 Halos Mandarin Oranges

1 cup granulated sugar

12 tablespoon unsalted butter (cut into small pieces, room temperature)

Instructions

Zest 2-3 Halos Mandarins, if you would like to add zest to your curd. Cut each mandarin in half and juice each one into a measuring cup until you have 1/2 cup of mandarin juice.

Over medium heat, begin simmering water in a saucepan that is sized perfectly to support a stainless steel bowl that you will use to mix up your ingredients (bottom of bowl should rest just above your water level).

In that stainless steel bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and mandarin juice with a wire whisk, until combined and smooth. When the water is gently simmering, place the stainless steel bowl over the saucepan. Whisk constantly until mixture has thickened, which can take anywhere from 5-10 minutes (about 170 degrees F on a candy thermometer). When thickened, remove from heat and immediately whisk in room temperature butter pieces until they have melted completely and are incorporated with the mixture.

Pour mixture into a bowl or containers for storage. Allow to cool completely and then refrigerate until firm and chilled (at least 1 hour, but 3-4 is best).

Notes

–Mandarin Orange Curd will keep for about 1 week, covered in the refrigerator

–Use as a spread on breads, biscuits, pancakes, topping for fruit, as a filling for cakes or cupcakes, for a layered parfait, and more

pasta alla vodka

this was taught to me by a dear friend whose skill i aspire to one day match. we are both college students and have found this to be a quick, cheap, simple, and amazing dish every time. ive used it to impress friends, family, and my partner.

no real measurements. use your heart (and intuition).

ingredients:

- 1 yellow or white onion

- 1 8oz can or tube of tomato paste

- heavy cream or half & half

- vodka (white wine works in a pinch)

- fresh parmesan (not the pre-grated stuff)

- however many cloves of garlic your heart desires

- crushed red pepper flake

- fresh basil

- salt & pepper

- olive oil

- whatever kind of pasta you want, but my favorite for this recipe is penne. spaghetti works great too.

- reserved pasta water

- this recipe works best with a stainless steel or aluminum pan but a nonstick skillet will work just fine

directions:

the pasta

follow the instructions on the package for your chosen pasta.

remember to salt your pasta water like you would a well-seasoned soup.

DO NOT FORGET to drain some of the pasta water into a measuring cup!! you'll need it for the sauce.

the sauce should come together pretty quickly while the pasta cooks. ideally your pasta should be done cooking by the time you add the tomato paste to the sauce. i'd recommend throwing your pasta in to cook when you start dicing the onions for the sauce.

the sauce

dice your onion into small pieces

crush or mince your garlic

chiffonade (stack leaves into one big leaf like russian dolls and then roll into a bundle, then cut into strips) your basil

heat pan over medium heat

add about a tablespoon of olive oil and heat. you'll know it's hot enough when it starts sliding around the pan like water.

sauté onions until soft and translucent, add your garlic and red pepper flake once the onions are about halfway cooked.

season with salt and pepper. be generous.

once the garlic has a little color and has become fragrant, add in your tomato paste and stir it around the pan, incorporating the onions and garlic into it. it should form like a tomato-onion-garlic-blob.

allow this to cook and dry out a bit, letting it caramelize in the pan. if using a stainless steel or aluminum pan, look for brown bits of fond sticking to the bottom of the pan.

add your vodka, just enough to loosen up the tomato-blob into a more easily workable consistency.

immediately scrape up that brown fond in the bottom of the pan as soon as you add the vodka.

if you timed everything right, by now your pasta should be done and you should have some pasta water reserved. add pasta water until just before your desired sauce consistency.

add your heavy cream and half and half until you get your desired sauce consistency and stir until the sauce turns a beautiful iconic orange color.

grate in fresh parmesan cheese to emulsify into the sauce

add your pasta to the sauce

add about 3/4 of the chiffonade basil

stir to combine everything

serve in a bowl or on a plate (or just on the bare table, see if i care), grate extra parmesan cheese over top, then add a few cracks of black pepper if you feel like it. garnish with leftover strips of basil. enjoy.

Cutlery Essentials: What Every Cutlery Set Should Include

Cooking and dining are activities that require precision, creativity, and the right tools. While we often focus on cookware and appliances, the role of high-quality cutlery is equally critical. Cutlery is a utensil used to eat and serve food. Over time, using cutlery has become common, evolving from simple tools made of bones, stones, and leaves to the wide variety we have today. Modern cutlery sets come in different types, materials, shapes, sizes, colours, and designs, offering options to suit every need and style. 

This guide will explore the basic components of a complete cutlery set, ensuring your table is always fully equipped.

What Are the Basic Cutlery Pieces You Need?

Ever find yourself at a fancy dinner, unsure which fork to use first? You're not alone. Understanding the basic cutlery pieces helps you easily manoeuvre such situations and ensures your kitchen is fully ready for any meal.

1. Knives 

Knives are the backbone of any cutlery set. This type of cutlery is significant for tasks ranging from dicing vegetables to slicing meats, and the right knives make food preparation more efficient and enjoyable. A high-quality knife set typically includes:

Chef’s Knife: Chef's knives are used to cut meat, dice veggies, slice herbs, and chop nuts. You can even crush garlic with the flat side. It's a must-have in any kitchen because of its versatility.

Paring Knife: Ideal for peeling, coring, slicing, skinning, peeling fruit and vegetables, chopping, and cutting up meat. Thanks to its 8 cm stainless steel blade, this knife guarantees a precise cut.

Boning Knife: All animal (or fish) proteins can be deboned, trimmed, and sliced with boning knives. Their narrow blades can cut through cartilage or bend between bones and meat.

2. Forks  

Forks are integral to the dining experience, with different types serving specific purposes. A well-designed fork should feel comfortable and have sharp enough tines to pierce food easily without being too pointed, ensuring an effortless eating experience.

Dinner Fork: The go-to utensil for main courses, meats, and hearty salads.

Dessert Fork: Smaller and more delicate, perfect for cakes, pastries, and tarts.

Salad Fork: These forks are designed for use with leafy greens, and softer vegetables are shorter and broader.

3. Spoons  

Spoons are more varied than one might initially think. For specialty purposes, they can be made from various materials, including stainless steel, silver, and even ceramic, each bringing its unique touch to the table.

Essential types include:

Teaspoon: Ideal for stirring tea and coffee, and accurately measuring small quantities.

Soup Spoon: Larger and rounder, designed to hold a substantial amount of liquid, making it perfect for broths and stews.

Dessert Spoon: Slightly pointed and designed for enjoying sweets, puddings, and creamy desserts.

Beverage Spoon: Long-handled, perfect for stirring drinks in tall glasses or reaching the bottom of deep cups.

Which Specialty Cutlery Pieces Can Enhance Your Dining Experience?

Fish Knives: They have a wide spatula blade with a sharp point for eating fish fillets. You can also use it to cut through whole fish, making skin removal easier.

Why Is Material and Quality Important When Choosing Cutlery?

The material of your cutlery not only affects its appearance but also its durability and ease of maintenance. Common materials include:

Stainless Steel: Durable, rust-resistant, and dishwasher-safe, cutlery pieces made of stainless steel are ideal for everyday use and casual entertaining.

Forged Cutlery: Heavier and more balanced, with sharp, rigid blades perfect for precise cutting tasks.

Silver: To keep its shine and prevent tarnishing, silver needs to be polished regularly.

Wooden Cutlery: Safe for households with children and comes in various designs, though it may require more careful cleaning and maintenance to prevent cracking or warping.

How to Choose the Right Cutlery Set?

When selecting a cutlery set, consider your needs and the intended use. Price should not be the sole deciding factor. While it's tempting to opt for cheaper options, they may not offer the longevity and quality you need.

For formal settings or those seeking a blend of modern design and utility, brands like Studio William cutlery offer exquisite selections that stand out. Their pieces combine durability with refined aesthetics, making them an excellent choice for those who want to raise their dining experience.

Everyday Use:  If you are outfitting a commercial kitchen or need durable options for hotel equipment, stainless steel sets are ideal due to their resilience, corrosion resistance, and low maintenance.

Special Occasions: For formal settings, you may opt for a more decorative set in silver or with intricate designs that complement your tableware.

Set Size: Consider how many pieces you need. Basic sets usually include a knife, fork, and spoon for each place setting, but more comprehensive sets offer additional serving utensils, steak knives, and even storage options like utensil caddies.

How Should You Maintain and Care for Your Cutlery?

Proper care ensures the longevity of your cutlery. Check out these tips:

Wash cutlery after every use with mild soap and water. Avoid soaking in water for extended periods to prevent mineral reactions and potential damage.

Store in a dry place to avoid rusting, corrosion, or tarnishing. Use utensil caddies or drawer dividers to keep pieces organised and protected.

Keep knives sharp by using honing steel or sharpening stones regularly. Avoid putting high-quality knives in the dishwasher, as the detergent and heat can dull the blade and cause nicks.

A well-rounded cutlery set, such as those offered by brands like Eternum cutlery, is an investment in your dining experience. Material selection, maintenance, and maintaining various cutlery pieces can heighten both everyday meals and special occasions. No matter what you're serving at the table, having the appropriate cutlery on hand guarantees you're always ready to serve your dishes with style and refinement.

How To Select The Best Kitchen Sink Splash Guard For Your Style?

The kitchen is one of the most important spaces in any home, requiring both practicality and style. The kitchen sink splash guardis one key element that enhances functionality and aesthetic appeal. While its primary function is to prevent water from splashing onto your walls and countertops, it can also serve as a subtle design feature that complements the overall look of your kitchen. 

This guide will explore selecting the best splash guard that aligns with your kitchen's style while considering important practical factors.

The Purpose of a Kitchen Sink Splash Guard

A kitchen sink splash guard is designed to protect the walls and surfaces surrounding your sink from water damage, mold, and unsightly stains caused by splashing water. Over time, consistent exposure to water can lead to costly repairs and deteriorate the appearance of your kitchen. 

Installing a splash guard can safeguard your kitchen while maintaining a clean and polished look. While this feature may seem purely functional, it can significantly influence the overall design of your kitchen.

Choosing a Splash Guard That Matches Your Style

When selecting a kitchen sink splash guard, it's essential to choose a design that blends seamlessly with your kitchen’s aesthetic. Here are a few style-specific options to consider:

Modern Kitchens: Materials like stainless steel or tempered glass are ideal for a sleek, contemporary kitchen. These options provide a minimalist and streamlined appearance while also being easy to clean and maintain. Their reflective surfaces can enhance the modern appeal of your kitchen, ensuring it stays stylish and functional.

Traditional or Rustic Kitchens: If your kitchen is traditional or rustic, a splash guard made of stone, ceramic tiles, or wood can add warmth and texture to your space. These materials create a charming, homey feel and can be chosen in earthy tones to complement wooden cabinetry or vintage accents.

Minimalist Kitchens: In a minimalist kitchen, simplicity is key. A matte ceramic or single-colour splash guard in neutral shades like white, grey, or black can maintain the kitchen’s clean lines and understated elegance. Choosing subtle materials that blend into the background will keep the focus on the sleek design.

Your kitchen sink splash guard choice will depend on whether you want it to serve as a discrete element or a design feature that catches the eye.

Practical Considerations: Material, Size, and Installation

In addition to style, there are several practical factors to keep in mind when selecting a kitchen sink splash guard:

1. Material Durability

The chosen material should align with your kitchen’s usage and cleaning requirements. Stainless steel is an excellent option for busy kitchens as it’s heat and stain-resistant. 

Glass splash guards, while visually appealing, may require more frequent cleaning to maintain their shine. Ceramic or tile splash guards are durable and resistant to water damage, making them a popular choice for many homes.

2. Size and Fit

Before purchasing a splash guard, measure the area behind your sink to ensure you select the right size. An oversized guard may overwhelm the space, while an undersized one may need to offer adequate protection. The guard should cover the splash zone but allow the sink and other fixtures to function properly.

3. Installation Options

Some splash guards are adhesive-backed or designed to be installed using suction cups, which makes them easy to reposition or remove. 

Others may require professional installation, particularly using more complex materials like stone or ceramic tiles. Select an installation method that works for your specific kitchen layout and preferences.

Enhancing Kitchen Convenience: Remember Your Remote!

While selecting the perfect kitchen sink splash guard, it is essential to pay attention to the small details that make your kitchen experience more convenient. If you enjoy catching up on your favourite shows while cooking, it might be worth investing in a small wall-mounted holder for your��Sky remote. 

This will keep it within easy reach but safely away from water splashes and cooking messes. After all, keeping your remote dry is as important as protecting your kitchen surfaces!

Conclusion: Finding the Perfect Balance of Style and Function

Selecting the best kitchen sink splash guard for your home involves balancing aesthetic appeal with practical functionality. Whether you favour modern, rustic, or minimalist designs, a splash guard fits every style.

Prioritising material durability, proper sizing, and easy installation will protect your kitchen while enhancing its visual appeal. And remember—keeping your sky remote safe from water damage is a thoughtful touch that adds to the convenience of your kitchen setup!

By making a careful, informed decision, you’ll enjoy the functionality and design benefits a well-chosen splash guard can bring to your kitchen.

Among the various options available, stainless steel tea kettles with a power output of 1800W, manufactured by specialized companies, have emerged as a preferred choice for many. These manufacturers play a crucial role in bringing high-quality and efficient tea kettles to our kitchens.

The manufacturer of stainless steel tea kettles with 1800W power is a master of combining form and function. Stainless steel, known for its durability and resistance to rust and corrosion, provides a solid foundation for these kettles. It ensures that the kettle will withstand the test of time, even with frequent use and exposure to moisture.

The 1800W power rating is not just a number; it is a symbol of efficiency and speed. This high power output allows the kettle to heat water rapidly, reducing the waiting time for that perfect cup of tea. In a busy world where time is of the essence, this quick heating feature is a significant advantage. It means less time spent waiting and more time enjoying the pleasures of a freshly brewed cup of tea.

The manufacturing process itself is a complex and meticulous one. It begins with the selection of the finest quality stainless steel. The manufacturer sources materials that meet strict standards to guarantee the kettle's longevity and performance. Skilled engineers and designers then come together to create a design that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional.

Attention to detail is paramount during the manufacturing process. The shape and size of the kettle are carefully considered to ensure optimal heat distribution and water capacity. The handle is designed for a comfortable grip, taking into account ergonomic principles to make pouring a seamless and effortless task. The spout is engineered to prevent dripping and splashing, ensuring a clean and tidy pouring experience.

Safety is another aspect that these manufacturers take very seriously. Built-in safety features such as automatic shut-off when the water reaches boiling point or when the kettle is dry prevent potential hazards. This gives users peace of mind, especially in households with children or elderly individuals.

The quality control measures implemented by these manufacturers are rigorous. Each kettle undergoes multiple tests and inspections to ensure it meets the highest standards of performance and safety. Any kettle that fails to meet these exacting criteria is rejected, ensuring that only the best products reach the market.

In addition to the functional aspects, these manufacturers also understand the aesthetic appeal of their products. Stainless steel has a sleek and modern look that can complement any kitchen decor. Some manufacturers even offer additional finishes or detailing to add a touch of elegance and personalization to the kettles.

The reputation of a 1800W stainless steel tea kettle manufacturer is built on more than just the products they produce. It is also about their commitment to customer service and support. They stand behind their kettles, offering warranties and prompt assistance in case of any issues. This after-sales service adds value to the purchase and builds trust among consumers.

These manufacturers also keep an eye on the latest trends and technological advancements in the industry. They are constantly innovating and improving their products to stay ahead of the competition. This might involve incorporating new heating elements for even faster boiling, developing smart features such as temperature control or programmable settings, or using sustainable manufacturing practices to reduce their environmental impact.

In conclusion, the manufacturer of stainless steel tea kettles with 1800W power is not just creating an appliance; they are crafting an experience. Their dedication to quality, performance, safety, and design ensures that consumers have access to a reliable and stylish tool that enhances the tea-making ritual. As the demand for quality kitchen appliances continues to grow, these manufacturers will undoubtedly continue to play a vital role in meeting the needs and expectations of discerning consumers.
