While most of our lives are contained in our houses, for now, there are still responsibilities outside of work (if you are working from home) that we need to follow through with.
With the pandemic in full swing, we’d all do well to keep our homes in order. This not only helps while away the time, but it also helps us keep a little bit of sanity in these crazy times that we’re living in.
So here are a couple of things that you should be doing while in quarantine- you’ll thank yourself later for getting around to doing these:
Prepping your food
Food is easy to spoil these days, especially since almost all of us have stocked up on it and have bought more than we regularly do when we go for a grocery run before the pandemic. It’s not unheard of for people to have their food spoil during these days, so if it hasn’t happened to you yet, read on and learn more!
The best way to prep your food is to make sure that they’ve been thoroughly organized and refrigerated. But since we’re on the topic of food storage, let’s include additional options for you to preserve your food (and keeping it fresh & savory, while we’re at it!)
Refrigeration isn’t your only option- you also have the option of vacuum sealing your food to seal its freshness in. In this day and age where you have to manage your food supplies, it's important that you have an alternative option for saving your food from getting spoiled.
But why should you vacuum seal your food? Here are some excellent reasons why:
Vacuum sealing food seals in the flavor of food. Refrigerating food alters the flavor of food and destroys some parts of your food, especially for lower temperatures (for example, freezing meat alters the flavor drastically; keeping food in sub-zero temperatures lessens its freshness dramatically).
Vacuum sealing your food prevents your food from spoiling. While you’re not supposed to substitute freezing meats or keeping your food in the fridge exclusively with vacuum sealing, some food that doesn't spoil easily can be left near indefinitely when it's vacuum-sealed. Sealing it removes its exposure to the elements and prevents bacteria from growing on it.
Vacuum sealing helps save space. There’s a lot of trapped air in food that takes up a lot of space, not to mention vacuum sealing compacts the food making it easier to organize it (for example, if your vegetable case on your refrigerator is a pain point when it comes to organizing your food, then a vacuum sealer should help a lot).
If you’re looking for a food vacuum sealer, get yours here today at Elinz. With different kinds of vacuum sealers at a great price point, you’ll be purchasing gear that will last you a long time and will help keep your food fresh essentially paying for its own value in time.
Here’s a quick idea for when you get your vacuum sealer: Take out the contents of your food in your fridge that you’re having problems organizing, and vacuum seal them. Putting them back in should be a breeze now that you don’t have any trapped air inside.
Prepping your vehicle
Now that your vehicle is seeing less use these days due to the pandemic, there’s no better time than now to give it the extra care and attention it needs.
Luckily, you’re in the right place! We’ve got a wealth of gear that’s available here at Elinz that should help you spend some time in your garage tuning up your vehicle to it’s best possible performance.
Check your car’s tyres
This should be as easy as 1-2-3. If you have a tyre pressure gauge at home, you can hook it up to your car’s tyres to make sure that you don’t get a flat anytime you’re out there on a supply run, or you’re driving at the best possible psi level on your vehicle.
If you’re looking for a more accurate gauge, do check out our tyre pressure monitors here at Elinz, available for purchase any time, and will be delivered straight to your doorstep.
A quick tip: When adjusting the psi on your vehicle, refer to your car’s manual; do not try to guess what is the best psi, and do not go over or under the required psi- you’re not getting any advantage doing this, and you’re only breaking your tyres (not to mention your suspension).
Install a GPS tracker on your vehicle
When you’re out there grabbing your groceries, make sure that you have a tracker on your car to prevent any emergencies from happening, such as getting lost or forgetting where you’ve parked your vehicle.
It’s a particularly important time to make sure that you have it installed, now that you need to be in and out of stores and you need to limit your time outdoors and from other people.
Plugin your OBD2 tool to your vehicle to see how it’s faring
Keeping your vehicle in top shape is absolutely important. Since it’s hard to come by a mechanic these days that can take a look at your vehicle immediately, you can plug in an OBD2 scanner and have it provide you with codes for your vehicle.
If you are knowledgeable about car repair, you can simply look up these codes and make the necessary repairs. If not, you contact your local mechanic and have them interpret and make the repairs in the future.
