Preparing
your family’s meals is one of the best ways to show you love them. With such
busy schedules, however, this can be a bit of a challenge for today’s
homemakers. Between managing the household and attending to your
responsibilities at work, how do you find time to prepare hearty dishes for
your loved ones every day?
Inspired
by such modern homemaking concerns, Samsung, the leader in technology and
innovation, introduced the Twin Cooling Refrigerator, the family’s partner in
freshness. It’s equipped with state-of-the-art features such as the Twin
Cooling System, Smart Conversion, and Digital Inverter technology which enable
its users to provide tasty and healthy meals with fewer trips to the grocery
and less food wastage.
To
showcase these unique features, the tech giant partnered with rising culinary
star Kristine Lotilla, co-creator and pastry chef at Le Petit Souffle and
Scout’s Honor. Using ingredients kept fresh by the Samsung Twin Cooling
Refrigerator, Chef Kristine prepared fruity treats for guests at the recently
concluded Samsung Freshness Feud. Now, she lends a few expert tips to help busy
bodies, including homemakers, find time to provide quality meals, and be more
efficient in the kitchen with the help of the Samsung Twin Cooling
Refrigerator.
1. Prepare your vegetables
ahead of time.
Allocate
a day for peeling and chopping your vegetables. “You can do this on a Saturday
or Sunday, for example, when you have more free time,” says Chef Kristine.
“Once you’re done, place them in an airtight container and store in the fridge.
You can just easily pull them out when you need them later in the week.” This
practice can significantly cut down your cooking time, so you can spend more
quality time with your loved ones.
Designed
with two fans and evaporators, the Samsung Twin Cooling Refrigerator retains up
to 70% humidity level in the fridge, ensuring your produce will stay crisp and
fresh for up to two times longer.
2. Cook big batches, divide,
and store them for later.
“You
can make a big batch of food and portion it into smaller servings, then
preserve them in
the
freezer,” says Chef Kristine. “This way, you can pull out and reheat just the
amount you need every day. It makes cooking more economical.” You can prepare
double batches every few days and freeze half of them, or allot one full day to
cook meals for a whole month.
Don’t
worry about making too much. The Samsung Twin Cooling Refrigerator’s high
humidity level maintains the ideal temperature inside the fridge and freezer,
preventing premature spoilage.
3. Stock up on staples.
Identify
which products and ingredients you regularly use and purchase them in
quantities enough to last you a few weeks. “This will keep you from having to
go back and forth to the grocery,” says Chef Kristine.
Through
the Smart Conversion feature, you can customize the Samsung Twin Cooling
Refrigerator’s freezer-fridge settings to accommodate the volume and variety of
products you buy. Easily convert your freezer into an extra fridge when you
need additional storage for fresh, fragile produce. You can also switch off
your fridge and turn your freezer into a smaller one when you need less. The
feature comes with five conversion settings: Regular, Fridge Max, Mini Fridge,
Vacation, and Energy Saving. Besides that, the Samsung Twin Cooling
Refrigerator has two
separate evaporators for the fridge and freezer, which keeps odors from mixing.
This way, your food stays fresh and tasty.
