Prática de Shadowing: English vocabulary in the kitchen - Aprenda a falar inglês com vídeo

- Hey guys, welcome to our Interactive English series.

By Interactive English, I mean that we're in the kitchen today, and we're gonna go through different objects like space rack, oven, et cetera.

I'm gonna point at those objects

and explain what they do and what's the exact word that you use to describe them in English.

So, if you're interested and you like visual stuff, first of all, subscribe to this channel, like this video, and let's start learning English.

So, kitchen is a place where you prepare food.

In some American homes, you also have a dining room which is separate.

So, you will prepare your food here.

But I was like why have a separate dining room when we can have a kids' room here.

So this is actually the previous tenant who lived here.

We looked at the photos.

He actually had a huge dining table here.

And I guess that makes sense if you have a lot of parties at home, if you like to invite guests.

But for us, we decided that we're going to have this dining area.

as a part of our kitchen.

And this is enough for us right now.

All right, let's start with this corner.

This is our dishwasher.

We put our dishes here.

By the way, if you wonder what this is called, this is your rack in the dishwasher.

So something to put your cups, utensils on.

We have dishwasher detergent and it's right here.

It can be liquid but it can also be in packs.

So we have these packs and you put them in your dishwasher and it helps your dishes.

stay clean.

This is called rinse aid and this is something you can have learned

when I came to the US because in our previous apartment our dishwasher said low rinse aid, refill rinse aid and I was like why do you need something extra?

So this just basically helps your dishes dry better and they're sparkling, they're clean.

Yeah it kind of helps but I also think People just invent a lot more stuff to get your money.

I don't know, but we still use it.

Rinse 8.

This is our sink.

So if you wash your dishes manually, you use it.

You use dish soap.

to clean your dishes

and you also have this tap in great britain it's called

faucet the thing is whenever you travel in every country you will have different perks

that taps have so you kind of have to figure out how they work the first time i entered this house

I switch on water and there is no water.

And I tell the agent, the agent was here and I was like, "We have no water and we're moving in today.

I need water.

We just flew here from Russia." And she said, try this.

Like seriously?

And every single person who comes to this house, they tell me, "Marina, you don't have water in the kitchen." We do have it.

There's just this sensor right here to make the process more automatic but I don't know.

I don't really like it, do you?

If you're watching from Turkey you probably know what this is.

I think this is a Turkish thing.

I've just seen a lot of those in Turkey.

This is a juicer and I've seen them in Italy as well.

We used to use them for oranges but now we got another juicer.

It's right here.

we use it for oranges.

Something else that we have here, super important, this is called a chopping board.

And you normally have several.

You have a separate chopping board for your meat, you have a chopping board for bread.

Like for example this is our bread chopping board, it's wooden.

This is paper towel, super useful.

You can use it instead of napkins or You know, something that is a must have in any kitchen.

This is a thing that completely changed my life.

Cost $10.

This is an egg cooker.

So instead of cooking your eggs and boiling them using the traditional method, a saucepan, etc. You just put them here,

you add some water and It starts and then it stops automatically, makes the sound.

Since we got it, we just used this.

We we stopped doing eggs the regular way.

We have our kettle here, but the thing is another life hack.

We got a water dispenser.

So here in the U .S we pay around six dollars to rent it every month, but this water dispenser actually dispenses hot water, which means we stopped using the kettle.

We only use it when we need a large amount of water for like boiling tea for many people, make myself a cup of tea I will just use this water dispenser

and you can use it for both cold water and hot water.

Here we have a fridge messy welcome to our fridge I'm not gonna point at food this time

but if you want me to point at food we can make a separate video we have the fridge

and we have A freezer.

So everything here is frozen.

One of the best ice creams here in the US.

Chocolate!

If you have food that doesn't require refrigeration Then you store this food in the cupboard.

And, well, I did some reorganizing a couple weeks ago, but you can't really tell.

We've lived in this house for eight months.

Oh my god, where is this coming from?

So much food.

We have our pasta here, we have coffee, we have dates.

It's my favorite dessert replacement.

Oh, and if you wonder what this is, somebody told me this helps to prevent ants.

But, They came here yesterday and they didn't care about my orange peels.

So here we have another juicer.

This is actually a fancy juicer.

that lets you juice anything from grapes to we stopped using it.

The problem is I only want to choose oranges and this is not good for oranges.

It's a toaster Coffee maker or coffee machine, Nespresso is my favorite.

Here we have a blender, but if you come to the States, some people can actually say Vitamix.

And this is something that I like to explore in a language where a brand becomes

a name for an object like I don't know if you knew that but for example Jacuzzi is actually a brand

In America, we call this a hot tub but because there were Jacuzzi brothers from Italy who started this company producing Jacuzzis,

people started calling them Jacuzzis.

Same with Blenders.

There is a company called Vitamix and they started doing Blenders, but now people just say Vitamix.

Vitamix costs around $600.

100

This was like $39 .99. in Costco.

101

This is my waffle maker, but again, It's so bad, I've only used it like a couple times and then I decided that I need less gluten in my life.

102

So this whole thing, it's called a stove it can be electric

103

and gas a lot of in the US a lot of cities are actually banning gas stoves

104

So we already have electric and This thing here is called an oven.

105

So for example, if you're baking something, be careful when taking your tray out of the oven, because it can be too hot.

106

This is a kitchen towel.

107

- Okay.

108

Super useful for every purpose.

109

This is your frying pan.

110

This is a larger one, so we do vegetables here, but we also have a lot of different pans right here.

111

We have like, smaller one as well.

112

This thing here can also be called a saucepan and this can also be called a pot.

113

This is a gift I got from my friend who lived here in Silicon Valley.

114

She attended Stanford and now she's gone and she lives in Paris But before she moved, she gave me a lot of stuff from my kitchen.

115

And this is my spice rack that was gifted by that friend.

116

and we have several spices here.

117

In a typical American home you would also have some space for Supplements!

118

Americans love supplements.

119

And this is what I also realized when I first came here.

120

In every single home where I came, there was a special rack with a lot of supplements.

121

And I was like, wow, that is exciting.

122

Like people care about themselves.

123

People care about taking vitamins and I've started doing the same and I Feel better.

124

Let's go through some smaller things that are also useful.

125

This is a grater.

126

You grate your cheese with it.

127

This is a measuring cup.

128

And if you look at American recipes, and this is by the way another great way to learn English.

129

I remember when I was back in Russia, I would only look at American recipes, because I wanted to get acquainted with the culture and the food that people eat,

130

but also because I wanted to learn vocabulary connected with cooking.

131

In a lot of American recipes, people measure stuff with cups, like two cups of flour, one cup of milk, And, uh...

132

This really helps measure everything.

133

This thing is called a whisk and you use it to whisk your eggs, flour, whatever, whenever you're baking you would use any whisk.

134

Another type of measuring cups 1 /4 of a cup, 1 /3 of a cup, 1 /2 of a cup, whole cup.

135

Very useful.

136

This is spatula.

137

So whenever you're frying eggs or making pancakes, you use it to take them from your frying pan and onto the plate.

138

spatula.

139

This is a game changer.

140

This is called peeler.

141

and you use it to peel your potatoes, cucumbers.

142

When I used to peel potatoes and cucumbers with a regular knife, this is a knife, I would peel half of the potato instead of just peeling it skin.

143

But when I started using this, and this cost like a dollar from Ikea, game changer, I became like a professional chef.

144

peeling vegetables.

145

When I say colander, Do you understand what this means?

146

Let's find a colander in my kitchen.

147

Is it gonna be here?

148

Oh, yeah.

149

This is your colander.

150

When you make your pasta, You put it here to drain.

151

So the water comes from your pasta and you enjoy it without any water.

152

And colander helps you with it.

153

Now guess what's this called?

154

- And again, depending on where you're from, when I first saw it, I was like, what do you use it for?

155

This is called tongs.

156

When you're making salad, when you have a lot of lettuce in your salad, I'm going to show you what lettuce is.

157

Lettuce.

158

Where are you?

159

Oh, this lettuce.

160

You can tell that it's my favorite because we don't have a lot of it left.

161

Oh my god.

162

Oops, something is living on it already.

163

So this is lettuce.

164

So when you're making salad with lettuce, You would use your tongs.

165

to pick it from the plate and put it on your plate, or from a bowl, whatever you use to make a salad.

166

Tongues.

167

Ladle.

168

You absolutely need it if you like to cook soups.

169

We have this small ladle they came with this Instant Pot.

170

And Instant Pot is another word that I want you to know.

171

Instant Pot is used to create anything basically, but we use it for soups, we use it for poultry,

172

poultry is chicken, duck, etc. We use it for oatmeal, so instant pot.

173

In order to take things out of Instant Pot, they gave us this.

174

This is a plastic ladle.

175

And we also have a metal ladle.

176

It's a big ladle.

177

When we cook soups, We would.

178

Take the soup with this ladle.

179

Rolling pin.

180

181

Rolling pin.

182

Pen.

183

This is called corkscrew for you to open your wine bottle.

184

Corkscrew.

185

Very basic, but just to remind you, this is a spoon, this is a fork, this is a knife, and we also have these amazing chopsticks.

186

My friend brought them from Japan and they're a piece of art.

187

This is a chopstick.

188

Okay guys, I think this was really comprehensive,

189

but I also realized there are a lot of other words that we haven't covered in this video like, kitchen shears.

190

Like these aren't actually scissors.

191

These are kitchen shears.

192

They help you cut through meat and bones.

193

They have this special section, I guess that's for crab.

194

Just because kitchen comprises so many objects, there are a lot more words to learn and i think
