In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Most modern freezers will have an automatic defrosting function.  This feature will automatically remove any freezer crystals that might have built up.  However, older freezers will not have this feature and will require you to manually defrost it.  Check with your freezer's instruction manual to learn more about its features. Before you defrost your freezer, you will need to remove all items from it.  Place your frozen items in another freezer or cold place.  This will give you room to work with and will prevent frozen items from defrosting.  After everything is removed, including the shelves, you can unplug the freezer.  You may need to use a friend or family member's freezer while you defrost. You could also store your food in a cooler while your work to defrost your freezer. Once your food has been removed from your freezer, you'll be ready to defrost.  However, it's a good idea to get ready for the melting ice.  You'll want something to catch the water as it comes out of the freezer.  Having a good way to catch the melt water can help prevent a big mess.  Get some old rags ready to lay along the front of the freezer.  These will help soak up ice water as it melts. Having a bucket handy can help you store the melt water before dumping it. Keep a mop ready for any water that spills onto the floor. Once everything is removed from the freezer and it has been unplugged, you can begin defrosting.  Find something to hold the door open with, allowing warm air into the freezer to melt the ice.  The goal is to wait for all of the ice to melt or get to a point where it can be removed by gently scraping it away with a spatula.  You can add a pot of hot water to the freezer to help speed up the defrosting process. You might try using a fan to move air in and out of the freezer. Avoid using a hairdryer as this can be a safety hazard as the ice melts. Never use anything sharp to break up ice. Now that the ice has been removed from your freezer and it is completely empty, you can give it a good cleaning.  Take a cloth and some gentle cleaning solution and wipe down the inside of the freezer.  Take your time and make your freezer as clean as you can before adding your food back in.  Any mild detergent will work fine for cleaning your freezer. You can make a simple cleaner by mixing 3 tablespoons of baking soda into 1 quart of water. Now that your freezer has been defrosted, cleaned and dried, you can put your food back in and turn it on again.  Your freezer should run much more efficiently and all of the ice crystals will be gone for a while.  Keep an eye on the build up of ice and defrost again whenever necessary.  The more you let ice build up in your freezer, the longer the defrosting process will take. Make sure your freezer is totally dry before putting food back in.  Any moisture will refreeze and cause ice to quickly build up again.
Summary: Learn if your freezer has an auto-defrost feature. Remove all the food from the freezer and unplug it. Get ready to deal with melt water. Hold the door open and allow ice to melt. Clean your freezer. Put the food back in and turn the freezer on again.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Place 1.5 tablespoons of white vinegar in a measuring cup.  Buttermilk is actually a soured form of milk. You're achieving the same effect at home by adding acid to the milk. The acid curdles the milk slightly, thickening it. The acid is also what helps the baked goods to rise through a chemical reaction. When it mixes with baking soda (a base), the two of them together produce carbon dioxide, creating bubbles in your baked goods. This process achieves an airy texture.  In place of the white vinegar, you can substitute lemon juice. You can also use other types of vinegar, but that can affect the flavor of your finished product. You can double this recipe, but you'll need to use double the amount of vinegar or lemon juice, too. Pour in the milk until it reaches the one cup mark.  "Scant" refers to "slightly less" in cooking, so a scant cup of milk is slightly less than a cup of milk.  You can use 2 percent, whole milk, half-n-half, or cream. Mix up the milk and vinegar with a spoon. Let the mixture stand for at least 5 minutes. You may need to leave it for up to 15 minutes. You can leave it on the counter for this process. Make sure it has thickened slightly; it should lightly coat the back of a spoon. You should also see a few curdles in the milk. If you taste it, it should be lightly sour. In recipes for baked goods that call for buttermilk, use this mixture in a one-to-one ratio.
Summary: Add the vinegar to 1-cup measuring cup. Add the milk. Stir the mixture. Leave the mixture alone. Stir the mixture. Use the mixture as you would buttermilk.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Eating 4-5 small meals during the day, each spaced out by 2 or 3 hours, will let your stomach digest moderate amounts of food with relatively little strain. This will limit your stomach’s acid production and should allow your stomach to heal from gastritis. Eating small meals—and just eating less in general—will also decrease your pain from gastritis (or heartburn).  Also avoid eating for 2 hours before bedtime, since your stomach will produce more acid when digesting food at night. If you get the majority of your calories from low-quality, processed foods, try to eat more high-quality whole and natural foods. Hot spices and condiments stimulate the production of gastric acids and can irritate the stomach. Extra greasy food can do the same, as can fried or acidic foods. Over time, these foods can lead to acute gastritis. So, avoid foods like:  Jalapeno and habanero peppers (even in hot sauce). Deep-friend French fries, hash browns, or onion rings. Citrus fruits, including lemon and lime juices. Hot spices like cayenne or chili powder, mustard, red pepper flakes, nutmeg, and curry. Carrots have natural anti-inflammatory and painkilling properties. Thanks to their high concentration of beta-carotene and fiber, they neutralize excess acid and regulate acidic production. You can eat them raw or cooked; either way, they will help to control your symptoms. Other veggies can help reduce pain from gastritis also. Avocado and squash neutralize excess gastric acid while simultaneously protecting and reducing inflammation in the stomach's mucous membrane. Full-fat dairy can generate inflammation and burning in the stomach. So, choose low-fat dairy and moderate your consumption of these products. This includes items like milk, butter, and yogurt. Especially avoid consuming whole milk, chocolate, and heavy cream. A lot of people consume dairy products in order to counteract stomach acidity, but the relief is only temporary and the symptoms will come back even stronger. Drinks with caffeine—like coffee, green and black teas, and some sodas—can agitate and harm your stomach lining. Even decaffeinated versions of coffee or soft drinks can damage your gastrointestinal membranes and cause gastritis, since they still contain trace amounts of caffeine. Replace these drinks with water and natural non-citrus drinks. You can add honey to drinks like tea to soothe your stomach. Honey has a healing effect on gastric ulcers, and it also combats heartburn. Use it to sweeten drinks throughout the day.
Summary:
Eat several small meals spaced throughout the day. Avoid spicy, greasy, or acidic foods that irritate your stomach lining. Eat carrots 3 or 4 times a week to reduce pain from gastritis. Choose low-fat dairy products to decrease pain from gastritis. Stay away from caffeinated beverages to avoid agitating your stomach.
