Growth habits of Kumquat tree
- Temperature: Kumquat trees like warmth, are not cold-tolerant, and are relatively heat-tolerant. The suitable temperature for growth is 23-29°C. They will suffer frost damage when the temperature is lower than 0°C.
- Humidity: Kumquat trees like moisture, are not drought-tolerant, and are afraid of water accumulation. They grow well in areas with annual rainfall of more than 1,000 mm.
- Soil: Kumquat trees prefer fertile soil, preferably neutral sandy loam that is loose, fertile, well-drained and rich in humus.
- Light: Kumquat trees like sunlight and are afraid of strong light. They grow vigorously when there is sufficient light, but will not grow well in a shaded environment for a long time.
Kettlebell set
For more than 300 years, kettlebells have had a training system. Kettlebells mean strength. A kettlebell can take care of core training, muscle endurance, explosive power, HIIT and other training needs.
The power is under control. Friends who have trained should have experienced that the center of gravity of the kettlebell is outside our palms, which makes it easier to swing. During the swing process, more muscle groups can be mobilized to participate in training. But the requirements for us trainers are higher and we need to proceed step by step.
Core training, muscular endurance, explosive strength, aerobic, HIIT. As long as you play well, you can practice aerobic strength.
Squat, jump, throw, lift, push, pull, you can do any kind of training.
The kettlebell is a small, cheap piece of exercise equipment. As long as you have good enough skills, the kettlebell can be used to train your whole body.
Kettlebells currently on the market are mainly divided into two categories, hard kettlebells (also called classic kettlebells) and competition kettlebells (competition kettlebells).
Material
Hard kettlebells (classic kettlebells) are generally made of cast iron in one piece.
Competition kettlebells (competition kettlebells) are made of steel.
Theoretically speaking, steel is more durable than pig iron.
Volume
Hard kettlebells are solid, and the heavier they are, the larger they are.
Competition kettlebells (competition kettlebells) are hollow inside, and all weights will maintain the same volume and size. Smaller weights are hollow or have other fillings.
Handle size
Hard kettlebells (classic kettlebells) have large handles and are designed to be held with both hands.
We will feel more comfortable when doing some hand-holding movements.
The handle of competitive kettlebells (competition kettlebells) is very small and is designed to be held with one hand. It can better perform clean and snatch movements during competition.
How to choose the weight of the kettlebell?
You need to choose based on several aspects such as gender, strength, and whether you have fitness habits.
- Men:
If you are a beginner and have little strength, it is recommended to choose 8kg
For daily fitness, 12kg is recommended
Normal fitness, strong strength, advanced, recommended 16kg and above
- Miss:
If you are a beginner and have little strength, it is recommended to choose 4kg.
For daily fitness, 8kg is recommended
Normal fitness, strong strength, advanced, recommended 12kg and above
Knife set
Different food cultures have created a variety of cooking tools, and knives are one of them, ranging from extremely sharp Japanese kitchen knives to German kitchen knives with balanced performance, to small ones for delicate processing of ingredients in different cuisines.
Different professional kitchen knives have different knife shapes and performances, and different ingredients require different knives.
Chinese kitchen knife
The blade hardness of Chinese kitchen knives is generally between 55-60HRC. Although it is not as sharp as Japanese kitchen knives, it has better toughness and durability. Common Chinese kitchen knives include slicing knives, bone cleavers, civil and military knives, etc.
Western kitchen knife
Western-style kitchen knives are mainly German-style knives. The general hardness is between 54 and 57. The knives are easy to process and have balanced hardness and toughness. Common Western-style kitchen knives include chef’s knives, boning knives, bread knives, etc.
Japanese kitchen knife
Japanese kitchen knives are small in size, have long blades, sharp edges, and are light in hand, so they are not suitable for handling large or bone-in ingredients. Japanese kitchen knives are divided into Japanese knives, foreign knives and Chinese kitchen knives according to different blade shapes, each with different blade arcs and functions.
Key core indicators for choosing kitchen knives
The main criteria for measuring a knife are sharpness and toughness, and the material of the kitchen knife and the content of different ingredients will affect the performance of the knife.
Sharpness and toughness
Sharpness: One of the important indicators of the quality of kitchen knives, it is mainly measured by the H R C Rockwell hardness. High-sharp kitchen knives are generally above 60H RC. However, if the hardness of the kitchen knife is too high, the toughness will decrease, and it will easily cause chipping when used.
Toughness: The ability of a kitchen knife to resist fracture is also one of the most important indicators. Knives with poor toughness are like glass. The harder, the more brittle and the more fragile they are.
Material selection
Stainless steel: The carbon content is variable and the chromium content exceeds 13%. It has good toughness and is not easy to rust, but its hardness is average.
Clamped steel/three-piece steel: two outer layers of stainless steel, and a middle layer of high-hardness high-carbon steel. Has good toughness and high sharpness.
Damascus steel: It can produce beautiful patterns on the metal outer layer of the finished knife.
Analysis of proper nouns for kitchen knives
HRC hardness: Rockwell hardness, which reaches 60 and has high hardness and sharpness. It is mainly used to measure metal hardness.
4 chromium steel/5 chromium steel/9 chromium steel: refers to the proportion of carbon, which are 0.4%, 0.5% and 0.9% respectively.
VG10: High carbon stainless steel, with a carbon content of up to 1%, a chromium content of 15%, a hardness of 60HRC+, and a cutting edge with high strength and sharpness, so the toughness is slightly lower.
Carbon steel: The carbon content exceeds 0.5%, the chromium content is very low or even non-existent, it is wear-resistant and easy to use but easy to rust.
- The higher the carbon content, the sharper it is. The chromium element can prevent rust, and the molybdenum element and vanadium V element can increase the hardness.
- Details such as weight, blade angle, blade back, and handle affect the personal experience and vary from person to person.
