Preserving Tradition with Modern
Innovation
Not
a stranger to Philips products, my
kitchen has always been filled with reliable Philips kitchen appliances. I have
had the honors of using Philips Pressure
Cooker a few years ago and has always been pleased how it helps in shaving
off hours of cooking time, yet yielding lots of delicious comfort dishes.
The
latest Philips All-in-One Pressure
Cooker incorporates the functions of slow cook, pressure cook and multi cook
all in one machine. The intelligent cooking system offers various cooking
functions all neatly pack into this sleek design electrical pot. Thanks to
innovation and technology, the new Philips All-in-One Pressure Cooker is one
kitchen appliance that churns out one pot wonders with much ease.
Thanks
to Philips Malaysia, I am super thrilled to test out the Philips All-in-One Pressure Cooker with a recipe from Chef Marina
Mustafa. Having attended her cooking workshop here previously, I know how easy it is to use the pressure
cooker. With more added functions now, one can now whip up dishes with pressure
cooking function as well as non-pressure cooking function. This means, you can
saute, slow cook, steam, bake, reheat, warm up and more with just this pot.
Assured
and built with safety as priority, the Philips
All-in-One Pressure Cooker has an auto pressure release device plus 9x
safety protection systems for extra safety measures. It is not only easy to use
with simple click instructions, the digital panel also lets you know exactly
the timing and status of the cooking. It is also easy to maintain and clean up
with minimal hassle.
The
Philips All-in-One Pressure Cooker
comes with 6 liter aluminum alloy inner pot, rice spoon, soup ladle, measuring
cup, steaming plate and recipe booklet.
The
recipe booklet is filled with lots of easy to follow recipes. One can whip up
curries, stews, risotto, pasta, soups, cakes and even make your own homemade
yoghurt!
Let’s
cook! I tried a recipe from Chef Marina Mustafa and true enough, making Ayam Percik was so easy that even
novice cooks can do it. Most of the ingredients literally goes into the
pressure cooker all at once and leave the rest of the cooking to Philips
All-in-One Pressure Cooker.
The
Ayam Percik turned out so delicious
and tasty. I even had time to settle other chores while whipping up this dish.
The chicken was tender while the percik sauce was piquant and full of yummy
spice notes with a creamy touch. The slow cook function on high temperature
allows the percik sauce to really cook down to a thick and rich sauce before I added
in the chicken. After that, it was only 15 minutes of pressure cooking to make
the chicken tender and married it with the tangy and spicy percik sauce.
My
family enjoyed the Ayam Percik a lot
with lemang that evening. With the festive Raya, it’s a dish that one can
easily whipped up for the festive parties…
I
cannot wait to experience more dishes with my new Philips All-in-One Pressure Cooker, especially the yoghurt and lasagna
recipe!
