Tefal comes out with new cookware set
FOR OVER 60 years, Tefal has been making homelife easy with innovative products that started with the world’s first non-stick cookware. The iconic brand recently launched the Tefal Ingenio line, which makes cooking and storage easier for smaller spaces such as today’s condominium units. Busy foodies can cook from the hob, move to the oven, serve a dish directly from the pot or pan, and store leftovers in the fridge with the ultra-practical Tefal Ingenio cookware set. It features a 100% safe removable handle that can be switched from one pan to another in a single click and a space-saving, stackable design that ensures easy storage in limited cupboard spaces, for added convenience. Ingenio is crafted with the patented Tefal Titanium Excellence, which is a thick and sturdy titanium base with long lasting non-stick coating that has been tested to withstand 48,00 abrasion cycles. The handle features a smart ergonomic design for comfort, while it securely fastens to the pan with a three-point fixation system. This ingenious handle can carry up to 10kgs and it comes with a Tefal 10-year guarantee. What’s more, the Thermo-Spot thermal indicator on the Tefal pans tells you when to start cooking to guarantee perfect texture, color and taste. The Tefal Ingenio is currently available in Ingenio 3pc Set Blue Salt, Ingenio 4pc Surprise Red and Ingenio 5pc Set Velvet Purple. Tefal Ingenio, Tefal Natura, Day By Day, So Chef and other cookware collections are now available in Birch Registry.

New show busts cooking myths
BELIEFS are passed down through generations, and some of them pertain to preparing and cooking meals. One popular example is that cutting onions will make you cry — but what if someone showed you a way to prepare a meal with onions without risking getting your tears in the mix? Join Sarah Huang Benjamin on Asian Myths, AFN’s latest webseries that debunks some of the most popular cooking myths across Asia every Wednesday until Oct. 28. Every week, benjamin will be showing viewers how to prepare familiar dishes without falling for false beliefs or compromising the most important aspect — taste. Some recipes will also take audiences through traditional steps like leaving larger chunks in a banana cake to add texture to have that nostalgic quality akin to having your grandma prepare it. Among the dishes she will be preparing are banana cake, beef brisket stew, and tendon (tempura don). New episodes will be uploaded every Wednesday on the AFN Facebook Page and on AFN’s official website.
