The Pinoy’s Oven and Microwave

Turbo broiler

A little bit of trivia: Imarflex invented the turbo-broiler in the Philippines in the mid to late 1970’s.

That’s the reason why it never has been available in any other countries. I badly want to have one of these. I don’t have an oven, my microwave is above average (a very nice gift from our wedding) but there is something about cooking without oil and seeing all the lard below after cooking in the turbo that just gets to me you know :). Perhaps I can get a cash advance from my financier (a.k.a Dad)? :)

In Search of the Perfect Toaster

Thanks to my mother my son is now addicted to toasted bread. he needs to have all his bread warm and toasted every morning. Too bad we do not have a toaster!

So the toaster goes in line along with the turbo broiler and oven I want to buy. Something tells me this gets pushed to the beginning of the line!

Making the House a Home

We are hell bent in completing our little house by Christmas. We have now decided which ones to buy and we are just waiting for my big bonus before I go home shopping. Aside from the big purchases like a new bed, shelves, workstation and pillows, I need to get some cooking equipment too! I need new knives and some specific gadgets like these:

Those are a peppermill, garlic twist and egg slicer.

We also need small kitchen appliances like a toaster and a blender. A lighting fixture guide would be needed to to make sure we have ample lighting in the kitchen.

    Kitchen Shopping

    I have taken a rest from shopping this month and plan to come back and shop with the vengeance maybe in July. I just need to prioritize some things in the house and the next shopping spree will be for our house, specifically the kitchen.

    Here are some things I’m thinking of buying:
    1. Another set of Corelle dinnerware
    2. Kitchen gadgets
    3. Toaster, griller, and rice cooker
    4. Flatware – I want sold ones with no design
    5. Rice dispenser
    6. A utility shelf for our microwave that has drawers so it can serve as our pantry as well
