The Dependable and Functional Simple Touch Cordless Kettle

August 12, 2016

Hot water is a necessity in our family. We often use it in preparing hot drinks, cooking soups and viands, bathing, and crafting (For example, heating prepared resin or melting dry poster paints). To boil water easily and quickly, we use a cordless kettle. It only takes three minutes or less to heat 1.6 liter of water. We are using this for years and we consider this as one of the widely used kitchen tools here at home.

Aside from a staple kitchen tool, our family doesn’t forget to bring a cordless kettle whenever we travel, stay overnight in a relatives' house, or when a family member gets hospitalized. It is very helpful especially when we need to heat our food or drink something hot. Guaranteed that it's very useful in cases of emergency.

When SIMPLE TOUCH sent me a cordless kettle, I felt so ecstatic and excited to use it immediately. It was coincidental that it arrived on a rainy day, perfect for preparing and sipping a hot cup of coffee!

Why am I so #excited to prep a hot cup of #coffee? This freshly delivered sleek #SimpleTouch #CordlessKettle is the reason! Yay! . . Thanks, http://www.simpletouch.com.ph, for sending this over! I am so #kiligtothebones! . . Review will be up soon! . . #allaroundpinaymama #mommybloggersphilippines #momblogger #productreviewer #rainyday #igersmanila #rainyday #bloggermail #simpletouchappliances #9aug2016

On first use, I fell in love with it. It was easy to operate. No manual was needed for me to figure out how it would function.

These are the reasons why I love Simple Touch Cordless Kettle:

Simple Touch Cordless Kettle is sleek and has modern design. It definitely adds a touch of elegance in our kitchen.

I can always use it towards any available electric outlet due to its 360 degree connector on the power base.

It’s body is made of high grade stainless steel and added concealing heating element, dry boil protection, to keep me at peace that it is safe and can last longer.

It has single water gauge to indicate the water level. I also like that it has 1.7 liter capacity, bigger than the one that I am currently using.

I can open and close it using the button open lid. The filter can be detached easily.

The switch button can be tapped gently and lights up (turns from transparent to orange) while in use. The light turns off automatically which means that the kettle is already turned off and water is hot and ready to use.

I also don’t need a transformer because it is AC 220-230V, 60 HZ, 2200 Watts.

It can plug it on three-hole or two-hole female socket. For the latter, I just need an adapter.

I can guarantee that it is functional at its best! Boiling water is easy using Simple Touch! I really, really love it! It's classy, dependable, and most important of all, very functional! If you are looking for an affordable high quality cordless kettle, I recommend Simple Touch Cordless Kettle. It's available in S&R Stores for only Php999.95.

Our One of a Kind Bento Workshop by Frabelle Foods Corporation

July 21, 2016

Kuya liked our The Maya Kitchen Baking Workshop experience so much that he was looking forward to another mom and kid workshop to be organized by Mommy Bloggers Philippines. A few weeks after, we learned that there would be another, a Bento Workshop by Frabelle Foods Corporation, which Kuya would like to attend because it would be all about food preparation.

I discovered that Kuya would prefer cooking activities so I immediately signed up. An opportunity like this should never be ignored. It was also timely because Kuya was requesting me for the longest time to prepare BENTO (noun: a lacquered or decorated wooden Japanese lunchbox; a Japanese-style packed lunch, consisting of such items as rice, vegetables, and sashimi or raw fish with condiments- Source: Google) lunch and snacks as baon for school. I was already gifted with bento tools by my good blogger friend, Krisna Mesa of Stuffify PH. Unfortunately, no matter how hard I tried, I failed to put my heart into creating bento because I had no first hand training to do it. I knew for a fact that there were so many video tutorials in YouTube about bento but due to mom duties, I couldn’t find time watching some to get more ideas.

I am a combination of kinesthetic, auditory, and visual learner. I learn effectively through hands-on activities. Frabelle Bento Workshop was the perfect venue for me to do it.

It turned out to be fun and exciting because Kuya and I learned once more with our mommy blogger friends and their kids.

My sincerest thanks to Frabelle Foods Corporation Marketing Team, including Chef Donne, for the well-prepared and organized workshop. There was never a dull moment.

The bento design ideas that we learned looked so difficult to do but they weren’t. They were quick and easy to do and #SadyangPinasarap. Let me share the ingredients and steps so that you could do them too in the comforts of your home. Take note that all the veggies except lettuce were boiled/blanched/steamed while the Frabelle products were either fried or steamed. We used uncooked spaghetti noodles to bind ham flowers.

2. To make Baymax’s body, put steamed rice in a plastic wrapper and form it into a ball.

3. Place the shaped Steamed Rice below Baymax’s head.

4. Place the scrambles egg on the steamed rice. Of course, don’t forget Baymax’s shoulders and arms! Shape another set of Steamed Rice for these.

5. Place punched small stars from nori wrapper on the omelet blanket. You may decorate Baymax’s Sleeping Bento with orange and apple slices and Frabelle Seaglow Orlian.

Not just the fruitful learning experience that made an impact on the kids but the thoughtfulness of Richprime Global, exclusive distributor of Barbie, Hot Wheels, and Qixels in the Philippines. Miss Paula Apostol of Richprime Global Marketing Department, surprised our kids with toys! Kuya was fortunate to be given an opportunity to choose after answering Miss Paula's question correctly.

Frabelle also made sure that we would bring home a bagful of delicious goodies that we could use in our bento preparation at home.

Our brains were filled with bento knowledge and happy memories while our tummies were filled with scrumptious lunch prepared by Frabelle using its own products.

We were treated like VIPs. We were fetched and dropped off to a designated area by Frabelle and this was the opportunity for mommies to chat while kids play.

After posting some photos of this workshop on Instagram, some of you were asking me when would be the next bento workshop? I will keep you posted, promise!

Some photos that I used above were taken and owned by my super favorite food blogger, Joy Gurtiza of Joybites. More photos of our Frabelle Bento Workshop experience were posted on this LINK.
