[a cook (me cooking)]
kok click to hear 		Notes
Eethoek ('dining area') translates literally as 'eating corner.'
IJskast is of course a word from the days that horse-drawn carts delivered blocks of ice to the houses of the rich - but it's still the common word for the electric version.
Ontbijt is 'breakfast.' Ontbijtbordje is just a name for a certain size of plate. It can be used at any time of the day.
There is a word mok click to hear - 2 for 'mug, large cup' but it's not used much anymore. The common word is beker.
Dutch has two words for 'bowl:' kom and schaal. The difference seems to be that a schaal is more shallow, a kom has higher edges.
English and Dutch have the exact same spelling for thermometer click to hear but note the differences in pronunciation. The melody is different, the stress is not in the same syllable.
Deksels! click to hear ('lids') is also a very mild curse.
Dutch uses the English word 'cake' for something like Banana Bread or Pound Cake. Cake like in Birthday Cake is taart click to hear - a one-person serving is a taartje or gebakje click to hear
'Gloves' is handschoenen, 'mitts' is wanten; still I prefer the word ovenhandschoenen for 'oven mitts,' even though they are mitts.
Wekker as in keukenwekker ('kitchen timer') is 'alarm clock' in the bedroom.
Zandloper ('hourglass') is literally 'sand-runner.'
Blik ('can, tin, tin can') is also the Dutch word for 'view.' Blikopener can be used ironically for something that gives you another or a better view of things. When I was in 'High School' there was a magazine called De Blikopener.
Kurkentrekker ('corkscrew') translates literally as 'cork-puller.' 		[porridge overboiled]
