Delicious Holiday Meals Made Easy at Electrolux’s A Taste of Christmas Event

The holidays are upon us and let the Christmas feasts begin! Electrolux presented A Taste of Christmas, a cooking demo showcasing how to prepare delectable Christmas celebrations last December 2-3 in Anson’s at Alabang Town Center.

With the help of Chef Jonathan Paul Em, the audience learned new and exciting dishes for the whole family to enjoy this Christmas season! They’ve witnessed him prepare classic holiday dishes with a twist such as the Christmas Paella and the Spiced Fruit Salad Cups at the Electrolux Kitchen Studio.

Whipping up the perfect Christmas dishes that are new, delicious and kid-approved is also a breeze with Electrolux as it offers a full range of innovative kitchen appliances.

To keep food and especially produce fresher for longer, Electrolux has the NutriFresh line of refrigerators, which ensures that your fruits and vegetables stay market-fresh for up to 7 days so that dishes are healthier and more flavourful.

The NutriFresh™ Inverter Refrigerators is equipped with a FreshShield Crisper which comes with a unique tight seal to keep temperatures stable, minimize water loss and provide higher humidity so that fruits and vegetables stay fresh for up to 7 days.

When it comes to cooking, Electrolux also offers a variety of appliances to suit your every cooking need.

If you live in a condo or apartment with a smaller kitchen or looking for cooking convenience, you will love the Electrolux Tabletop Microwave Oven with Grill & Convection EMS3288X. This 2-in-1 appliance combines the convenience of a microwave and the performance of an oven, grill and even a steamer, which allows you to prepare a wide variety of dishes.

Meanwhile, if you have a big family, the Electrolux Built-in Oven EOB2200BOX is perfect for you. It comes with the InfiSpace Oven with a 68-litre capacity that gives you plenty of room to cook multiple dishes in one go, plus a large fan that circulates hot air evenly throughout the oven to ensure uniform cooking temperature. It even comes with an enamel coating that repels grease and dirt, making it easier to clean – so you don’t have to stress about after-party clean ups!

Combine your Built-in Oven with the Electrolux Built-in Induction Hob. Induction is faster than other cooking technologies, boiling one litre of water in three minutes, allowing families to enjoy tasty meals in no time.

Induction cooktops are also safer to use as it directly heats the cookware while the cooktop remains cool and safe, so you can involve your kids and family during holiday meal preparations without worrying about accidental burns. How’s that for great family bonding!
If you are looking for a cooking range, check out the Electrolux Cooking Range EKI51300OX, which gives you the advantage of induction and oven cooking at the same time. It also comes a spacious layout that lets you cook more dishes at once and precision heat control that allows you to accurately set your desired flame to avoid over or undercooking.

Of course, to keep your home smoke and odor-free, equip your kitchen with the Electrolux Chimney Hood, which will absorb all the grease and cooking fumes while recirculating indoor air. This allows you to go from kitchen to party without worrying about smelling like food! It also has a removable cassette filter, making it easier to clean.

With Electrolux, Christmas food prepping is quick, easy and fun, allowing you to spend more time with your loved ones. Let Electrolux help you create delectable dishes that are fast and easy to prepare. Now that’s Christmas in every bite!
