Aloha Katherine,
He moʻolelo lōʻihi, akā ua kūʻai aku au i kaʻu hale kūʻai hale kūʻai āpau o ka palaoa. (He aha kaʻu e ʻōlelo ai? Aloha wau i ka berena.) Pehea wau e mālama ai? Ua maikaʻi ka hale lole? Ua lohe au i nā mea e pili ana i ka hoʻomaloʻo ʻana i ka palaoa no ka pepehi ʻana i nā ʻōpala—he hopohopo maoli anei kēlā? E ʻoluʻolu e kōkua!
Me ke aloha,
Keiki Palaoa
E ke Keiki Palaoa,
Mahalo i kāu mea hou ʻāwīwī huakaʻi. (Ua pololei wau, ʻaʻole anei?) Manaʻo wau ua hoʻopaʻa ʻoe i kahi ʻāpana palaoa. I mea e pale ai i ka pau ʻole, eia ke ʻano o ka mālama pono ʻana i ka palaoa i ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi ma mua o kāu pūʻulu kuki e hiki mai ana. (Laki ʻoe - maʻalahi loa.)
ʻO ka mua, hele hewa ka palaoa?
ʻAʻole maopopo ka nui o ka poʻe hou i ka kuke ʻana he mea palaho maoli ka palaoa, no laila ʻae, ia makemake hele ino i ka hope (ʻaʻole like kō a i ʻole mea ʻala , e mau loa ana no ka manawa pau ole ma ka hohonu o kou hale lole). Loaʻa i nā ʻano palaoa a pau ka nui o ka aila i loko o ia mau mea, no laila hiki ke hele i ka rancid ke ʻike ʻia i ka oxygen i ka manawa. E ʻike ʻoe i ka hala ʻana o ka palaoa i kona ʻala maikaʻi ʻole a me kona ʻono ʻawaʻawa. A ma ke ʻano maʻamau, ʻoi aku ka wikiwiki o ka ʻai ʻana o ka palaoa i hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻole ʻia (e like me ka palaoa holoʻokoʻa) ma mua o nā ʻano i hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻia (e like me nā kumu āpau).
Pehea ka lōʻihi o ka palaoa?
Aia ia i ke ʻano o ka palaoa āu e kamaʻilio nei a pehea ʻoe e mālama ai. ʻO ka palaoa i hoʻohana ʻia (a me nā palaoa ʻē aʻe i hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻia, e like me ka palaoa berena keʻokeʻo) hiki ke lōʻihi i ʻeono a 12 mau mahina mai ka lā i kūʻai ʻia ai ke mālama ʻole ʻia i loko o ka hale lole (a hiki i ka ʻewalu mahina ke wehe ʻia). ʻOi aku ka pōkole o ka noho ʻana o ka palaoa palaoa holoʻokoʻa no ka mea ʻoi aku ka nui o ka aila a e mau ana no ʻekolu mahina i wehe ʻole ʻia i loko o ka hale lole. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻo ka mālama pono ʻana i kēia mau mea e hoʻolōʻihi i ko lākou ola.
No laila, he aha ke ala maikaʻi loa e mālama ai i ka palaoa?
Wahi a ka poe akamai palaoa ma ka King Arthur Baking Company, ʻEkolu mau mea nui i ka mālama ʻana i kēlā me kēia ʻano palaoa: Pono e pale i ka ea, anu a me ka pōʻeleʻele.
I ka manawa aʻe e lawe mai ʻoe i kahi ʻeke palaoa hou, eia ke ʻano e mālama ai:
- ʻO ka mua, e wehe i ka palaoa a hoʻoili i nā mea i loko o kahi pahu plastik me kahi poʻi paʻa paʻa, a i ʻole kahi ʻeke plastik nui hiki ke hoʻopaʻa hou ʻia. (ʻO kahi ʻē aʻe, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻoheheʻe i ka ʻeke holoʻokoʻa i loko o ka pahu a i ʻole ka ʻeke plastik me ka wehe ʻole ʻana.) ʻO ka ʻoi aku ka paʻa o ka ea, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi-ʻo ia ka mea e pale ai i ka oxidation a mālama i ka palaoa mai ke komo ʻana i nā mea ʻono ʻē aʻe.
- A laila, koho i kāu wahi mālama. ʻOiai e hana ʻia kahi hale lole ʻeleʻele, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka pahu hau, a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka pahu hau. No ka lōʻihi loa o ka mālama ʻana, e mālama i ka palaoa ma kahi mamao loa mai ka pahu hau a i ʻole ka puka paʻukū e hōʻemi i ka ʻike ʻana i ka mālamalama a me ka mahana i kēlā me kēia manawa āu e hele ai e ʻimi i nā koena.
- Voilà, pono kou palaoa a hiki i ʻelua makahiki i loko o ka paʻukū a i ʻole hoʻokahi makahiki i loko o ka friji (e hana i ʻeono mahina no ka palaoa palaoa holoʻokoʻa). ʻIke ʻoe, ke ʻole ʻoe e kālua i kahi ʻino.
ʻO nā ʻōpala palaoa: ʻoiaʻiʻo a i ʻole ka moʻolelo?
E ke keiki Flour, ua ʻōlelo ʻoe ua lohe ʻoe e pili ana i ka loaʻa ʻana o nā pōpoki i ka palaoa. Hiki iaʻu ke haʻi iā ʻoe mai ka ʻike (pōʻino) he hopohopo kūpono ia. ʻO nā mea hewa maʻamau i kapa ʻia he wīwī palaoa: nā ʻōpala liʻiliʻi i loko o kēlā ʻeke palaoa i kou lawe ʻana mai i ka hale mai ka hale kūʻai.
He mea ʻino ka wīwī palaoa—ʻaʻole e haʻi aku i nā mea ʻino loa ke ʻike ʻia ma kou home—akā ʻaʻole ʻino. I mea e pale aku ai i ka pilikia ma ka mua, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻokuʻu i nā ʻeke palaoa hou no ʻekolu lā e pepehi i nā mea ʻino e peʻe ana i loko. Ma waho aʻe o ia mea, e hoʻomaʻemaʻe i kāu hale lole a me kāu mau kīʻaha i loko o nā pahu hau a e hoʻāʻo e kūʻai ʻole i ka palaoa ʻoi aku ma mua o ka hiki ke hoʻohana i loko o kekahi mau mahina.
Lana ka mana'o e pane ana i kāu mau nīnau—hau'oli ka kuke 'ana!
Xx,
Katherine
