Cooking Demo with Panasonic and omy.sg

It was a great weekends with a companion event of Free Cooking Demo from omy.sg
Learning how to make what you crave of KAYA, Tasty BREAD, and few number of dishes
just with simple Panasonic Bread Maker, and  Microwave Oven.

Didn't know that with just a simple electricity machine of Bread Maker - Automatic Dispenser and
Microwave Oven, we can settle number of dishes in a short convenience way without further hassle.
It is Great to know that Panasonic Cooking - Opens up Possibilities, in the meaning of
it really help and save you a lot in your kitchen. In another words, we don''t need cooking pans
and save our time to clean the oily kitchen and wash those pans.

Let me introduce Bread Baker which it can be used for making delicious Kaya as well.
To have a nice taste of Kaya and Bread, both have to be a great companion.

Without Bread, will you eat Kaya together with others food ?? If yes, !! Fine, it sounds weird
But i guess, the best choice is still a bread

Other than its bread maker automatically mixes, kneads, rises for you to have your bakes
bread without a need to use up your hands energy, it also has a side advantage
point of having a layer for Raisin and Nut Dispenser.

Simple just drops your favorite raisin, dried fruits, nuts and seeds into the Dispenser for
your hand made convenience and better favorite bread texture 

Here is the Recap of an Auto Function of Bread Maker that you can think of to have 1 at your home.
Additional thing to note : you can set the crust color to light or standard !:)

The Bread Maker not only just for Kaya Making, Bread but also can be used for making 
Pizza Dough, Dumpling Skin Dough, Desserts like Chocolate and Cake




More exciting parts about Food Recipes and how does it works would be shown more
at below section.  Stay tuned to my blog :) 

In any of the Baking, definitely we need a hand blender to whisk all the ingredients.
Below squared picture with a green line  is a automatic whisk mixture - Panasonic hand blender
MX-SS1 that will auto blend those mixed ingredients into a desired texture.

What great about this hand blender :
It really save us more time and faster on whisking the mixtures unlike a manual hand mixer that
we need to keep mixing and kneading until ingredients are dissolve.
I remember last time i used to use the tradition hand blender to mix all the ingredients,
mix till my hand was very tired because we need to keep kneading on it.

Note : While using the Microwave Oven, we need to fill water at the water dispenser.
When the water is going to finish, the Microwave Oven will show a sign of Refill Water 
Needed. If the water is not filled, it will just stop there and wait till the water be refilled

Let's move to another cooking style by using Microwave Oven.

Microwave Oven Worth to Have :
Its definitely a great Multi Function Microwave Oven that should think of to have 1 at home because
it is not only just a simple Microwave we used to heat food, but also can use to steam food like above Steamed Herbal Chicken, cook raw food and rice, grill, roast, and baking.
It cover all your kitchen needs. All in 1 -> Steaming, Grilling, Baking, Cooking.

Let me makes clear the difference between Microwave, Oven, and Microwave Oven :
Normal microwave can't be used for baking. It may can only use for certain function and not even
for grilling. While Oven is of course for baking. Whereas Microwave Oven is can used for all - All in 1.
