Why does the base vat of the yogurt vat set have a larger capacity than the strainer?

Since the bottom base vat is noticeably deeper and larger than the strainer, you may wonder what purpose this design was intended for.

hmmm editorial answer

It is because the depth and capacity of the bottom vat were designed generously so that even as drained whey pools, it does not touch the yogurt again.

How is the groove carved into the bottom of the slicer used?

When seeing the groove on the bottom of the mandoline slicer, you may wonder what its purpose is.

hmmm editorial answer

There is a groove that can be hooked onto the rim of a bowl, stably supporting the mandoline slicer and allowing sliced vegetables to fall directly into the bowl.

Why shouldn't I use this sharpener on the "single-edged knives" mentioned in the description?

When choosing a sharpener to sharpen kitchen knives and seeing the notice not to use it on single-edged knives, you might wonder whether the knife you use applies.

hmmm editorial answer

Because it has a V-shaped groove structure that sharpens both sides of the blade at the same time, inserting a single-edged knife, which is beveled on only one side, will ruin the shape of the blade.

What is the reason the holes in the rice washing bowl are perforated in a mountain shape?

The phrase "mountain-shaped perforations aligned with the flow of water" appears in the product description, and I am asking because I am curious about what role this actually plays when washing and rinsing rice.

hmmm editorial answer

It is an arrangement designed so that when the bowl is tilted to pour out water, it aligns with the flow of water so only the water drains smoothly while the rice remains.
