Organize Your Ref

This tip is really simple and should be known to everyone, but I guess many people take organizing their ref for granted. Organizing your ref is very important because it reduces the risk of you cooking unfresh food and therefore reduces the risk of you serving a bad tasting and unhealthy food to your love ones.

Anyway, here’s how to:

Buy several plastic containers of different sizes to ensure that you have a container for all food serving size; I bought mine for P300++ only and these containers are dishwasher, microwave, and freezer safe, from True Value

Divide the food (chicken, pork, beef, etc) according to serving size and dish; for example, if you bought 1/2 Kg ground pork and you intend some of that as a main dish like ground pork with tomato sauce and a small portion of that as an ingredient to misua noodles then you should get 1 big container for the big portion and a small container for the small portion

Just imagine if you put all 1/2 Kg of ground pork in one container and you are only to cook the ground pork with tomato sauce for the day; you’d have to bring out the whole thing from the freezer, wait for it to thaw and get a portion of that, and worse, you have to bring the thawed ground pork back in the freezer – that’s just gross!

Welcome to my Kitchen

Since this will be my first official post for my shiny new blog, I thought that it might as well be about my kitchen, after all, I owe all the food that I’m gonna cook to it. So this post will be featuring my much loved kitchen =D
Theme: Modern and Functional This is what I had in mind when I discussed the design with the interior designer. I told her I wanted it very modern, clean looking, clutter free, but very functional.I told her to hide all the small kitchen appliances in a pull down cabinet, where stuff should be easy to keep and retrieve. So look how the cabinet transforms below.

From this:

To this:

In addition, since our space is quite small, I requested for a bar type dining table that could also store tons of stuff that should remain hidden for the clutter free feel. So this is what you see outside:

But this is what’s hidden inside:

If you’ll think about it, all these stuff are not really hidden from the cook’s pov so that the cook can easily grab stuff that are needed for everyday cooking like oil, soy sauce, rice, pot holders, chopping boards, knives etc. and yet remain hidden from the visitor’s pov. Nice touch isn’t it =D

Anyway, look at the tall green cabinet below the coffee maker, it hides the gasul as well as tons of plastic bags that we have accumulated from grocery shopping. Right beside my gasul cabinet is my beloved oven. I thought to give it a full body shot just for the heck of it.

This oven is actually a gift from my mom while our ref (now gay looking) is a gift from one of our ninongs – Justice Gregory Ong.

Please frequent this blog as I’ll soon be posting my secret ingredients, recipes, kitchen tips, and more… Hope you find this site useful in managing your kitchen and your special someone’s belly.
