    Christmas feast tips by Midea’s Brand Ambassadors

    While people are completing their Christmas list of things to buy for their loved ones and friends, shopping for the very much awaited Christmas feast is also finding its way to the urgent to-do list this season. Most families would always go for the staple food items during celebrations, like spaghetti or pansit, fruit salad or graham cake, and many more. Specialties like the Christmas ham will always be a hit this season, but these families would always show off their specialty dishes, especially when they have guests coming over, or they need to bring them for potluck.

    Celebrity Chef Couple and Midea brand ambassadors, Rob and Sunshine Pengson are also excited for their Christmas feast at home. As people who dedicated their life in the culinary arts, they share some tips that could help people who are stressing out on planning for their feasts even before they start preparing them. “I believe that one of the most common mistakes that most people do in preparing for their Noche Buena is shopping without a menu in their mind,” Chef Rob says. “Always take time to sit down and plan out your menu in advance then make a corresponding list for it. This will help save time and money.”

    “When done shopping for groceries, it is always a challenge to keep your ingredients fresh,” Chef Sunshine shares. “I like to portion everything as soon as I get home, so that they are kept in their own containers and can be prepared quickly.” When asked what their favorite dish is during Christmas, they shared that they always opt for what is traditional. “We like to stick to tried and tested classics, such as, baked ham, lechon, bibingka, puto bumbong, and the like.” They also pointed out that lechon should not be missed for the Christmas feast.

    If people wanted to try something new for their Christmas feast the Chefs suggested that they should try a grilled ensaymada paired with spiced hot chocolate made in a Midea Safety Kettle.  It is called “safety kettle” because it responds to some of the risk of having an electric kettle at home. Midea’s Safety Kettle has a Sure-safe Double Wall Technology which keeps the exterior safe to touch while keeping the water warm for a longer period of time.  The Midea Safety Kettle could boil water two times faster compare to an electric stove top kettle and it is durable with high-quality stainless steel parts.

    Preparing for a Christmas feast can be tedious and it somehow takes away the fun in having some guests at home because of all the exhaustion from cooking. “Get some outside help,” Chef Rob says. Don’t try to do everything yourself. This will leave you time for de-stressing, relaxing, and spending more time with your loved ones, which is what the holidays are all about.” And with the help of Midea’s lineup of kitchen appliances, such as their induction cooker, multi-purpose cooker, and microwave ovens, cooking a Christmas feast will be very easy and healthy at the same time.

    People just need to make sure that they have more than enough leftovers, because the best compliment that anyone could give after the Christmas feast is, “Can I take home some leftovers?”

  • Quick microwave cooking that is not only healthy but cost-efficient as well

    Quick microwave cooking that is not only healthy but cost-efficient as well

    There’s no need for the chef in you to feel unaccomplished when you prepare home-cooked meals with a microwave. Given that microwave-prepared food are quick and easy to make and actually healthier to eat (more on that later), Midea Microwave Ovens are also very wallet-friendly.

    But to get a clearer picture of its advantages, and since school season is in full swing, here is a hearty two-minute microwave French Toast recipe that your kids can enjoy eating without you breaking a sweat preparing.

    You’ll need to cube two slices of bread and place those pieces in a mug. Separately, prepare a bowl that contains a combination of one egg and three tablespoons of milk, topped with a dash of cinnamon. Pour that egg mixture into the mug and press down the bread cubes so it can fully absorb the liquid. Microwave for one minute, and then ten seconds at a time until fully cooked, then you’re set.

    Again, this meal only requires two minutes of preparation time. In the world of the hectic morning rush when both you and your child are trying to make it to the office and school on time, spending only two minute on a task should feel like heaven.

    On top of that, meals like this, that are prepared with a microwave not only retain its nutrients better but also obviously requires no oil, reducing fat by 10% versus frying, which means it’s healthier.

    These innate microwave benefits of quick and healthy cooking are definitely also present in Midea Microwave Ovens. But what makes the deal even sweeter is its economical “Piso Meal” feature.

    At just P1 worth of electric operating cost, users can cook with Midea Microwave Ovens for three minutes—the usual amount of time it requires to microwave-cook most meals. Of course, that means the two-minute microwave French Toast presented earlier costs even less than P1.

    This feature is available in both the mechanical and digital formats of Midea Microwave Ovens. Named after each product’s control feature, the Mechanical Microwave Oven has a push-button door opening method and operates with an output power of 700W with a standard voltage of 220V/60h. It comes in silver and white.

    Meanwhile, the Digital Microwave Oven, which features a pull door opening method, operates with the same standard voltage but with an output power of 900W.

    Under the fast-paced life we live in, there’s no time to settle for the ineffective and the inefficient. So the next time your child hears the recess bell, make sure what he pulls out of the lunch box is not only healthy, but prepared without a fuss.
