Notes

(De) eethoek 2 ('dining area') translates literally as 'eating corner.'
(De) ijskast (ice-cabinet = 'fridge') 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. The more correct word is (de) koelkast
(De) diepvries 2 '[deep-freeze] freezer' - it can also be used as the adjective 'frozen' for food items.
(Het) ontbijt is 'breakfast.' (Het) 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 (de) mok 2 for 'mug, large cup' but it's not used much anymore. The common word is (de) beker 2
Dutch has two words for 'bowl:' (de) kom and (de) schaal. The difference seems to be that a schaal 2 is more shallow, while a kom 2 has higher edges.
English and Dutch have the exact same spelling for (de) thermometer but note the differences in pronunciation. The melody is different, the stress is not in the same syllable.
Deksels! ('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 (de) taart - a one-person serving is (het) taartje /or/ (het) gebakje
'Gloves' is handschoenen - 'mitts' is wanten ; still I prefer the word ovenhandschoenen for 'oven mitts,' even though they are mitts.
(De) wekker as in (de) keukenwekker ('kitchen timer') is 'alarm clock' in the bedroom.
Ik werd wakker van de wekker ('I was woken up by the alarm clock')
(De) zandloper ('hourglass') is literally 'sand-runner.'
(Het) blik is 'can, tin, tin can' - (de) blikschade - minor car body damage after a crash.
(De) blik is also the Dutch word for 'view.' (De) blikopener is 'tin can opener,' but can be used ironically for something that gives you another or a better view of things. In 'High School' I subscribed to a magazine called De Blikopener.
Note the different meaning of 'blik' with 'de' and 'het.'
(De) kurkentrekker ('corkscrew') translates literally as 'cork-puller.'
