Attention to the Men of the House, if you really love your wives, sharpen their knives and illuminate their cooking areas with high power LED lighting.

You see , the wives spent most of their time in the kitchen. If you want us to cook faster and efficiently, sharpen our knives! It’s so frustrating to have a knife that can’t even slip through the skin of an tomato. A sharp knife contributes to the aesthetic beauty and better tasting of the food/ dishes being prepared.There are enough frustrations in the kitchen. Don’t compound them by letting us use dull knives.

As for the lighting, there must be enough light over the vicinity of the burners to make certain that the meals is cooked successfully and does not get burnt. Right lighting will ensure that the cook is really able to become aware of the color of the food genuinely processed and even make sure that it is neither unprocessed nor overcooked.
