On 20th June 2015, I attended the cooking demo by Ms Theresa Wong from Panasonic for the
Singapore Blog Awards 2015 as jointly organized with omy. Although this year is
my second year in attending this cooking demo, I learnt new things. For example, I learnt
that the cake mode function of the bread maker could be used to aid in making
kaya. Kaya being my favourite comfort
food can now be easily done without having me to stand most of the time to keep
on stirring the kaya. Besides that, having a powerful hand blender is also
important cos it helps to make the kaya smooth.
Here're some pictures of the process of making kaya
using the cake mode of the bread maker
We had a volunteer, Elaine learning how to make kaya as
her son loves Kaya.
She did
the mixing with the guidance from Theresa.
While
when using the cake mode,the stirring of the Kaya is still needed once in a
while.It is best to use the plastic spatula to do the stirring.So that you do
not scrape off the metal stuff in the baking tin.
Yes, no longer one will need to go
out to buy kaya with perservatives if one owns the bread maker.
Next, we looked at learning how to
cook the herbal emperor chicken by using the steam function of the microwave
oven.
To me,
a microwave oven would only consist of the microwave functions. However, this
model NN-CS894 consist of the functions like steaming
using pure steam, microwave, grilling, defrosting of food and many more.
Key feature of the turbo steam
function
One thing that Theresa mentioned
that the microwave oven could do pure steam mode instead of using the microwave
style of steam mode. All you need to do is to put some water in the tray to
enable this pure steam mode to be able to function. Please do not use the recycled water from the tray to use it to cook
the food. There will be a notification when the water level is too low and will
not be able to steam. So one must top up the water level to allow the steaming
function to function again.
The herbal emperor chicken was
tender and succulent when eating it. Sorry no pictures can be shown cos the
time when i got to taste the chicken it was almost on the finishing end. I
hardly could believe that it was cooked by microwave cos since young I never
had any meals which was cooked via microwave.
Most importantly is that having this microwave
oven not only allow us to have healthy cooking.It also allow us to do cooking
without much hassle, no more dirty kitchen after cooking and the cleaning of
this oven is easy.
