First, I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year. Those who are not following me on my Facebook page would be wondering why I have not been baking and blogging for the past few months. These events were updated in my FB page that I had been 'oven-less' since my Ariston built-in oven broke down in end October last year after two years of heavy usage. I was on vacation during the November-December school holidays. My home started renovation just two days before Christmas and there were loads of things to pack away as my family is still staying in the apartment while the renovation took place. It was a 'nightmare' for me, there were so much dust and dirt to clean up daily after the renovation workers left each evening. I was also playing 'musical chairs' moving things from one room to the other as each area is being renovated. Though the house is not completely renovated yet (we are doing it in phases), the more important places are more or less done. Yes, my new dry kitchen is completed and my dream kitchen is fulfilled. I can start baking soon...I missed baking! (screaming from the bottom of my heart, hahaha!)
The new dry kitchen is a big and nice New Year
present from my other half. He has painstakingly designed and
custom made it for me. As I am rather tall at 1.7 metres, my dear hubby
deems the standard kitchen unsuitable for me and his ideal one is
ergonomically designed to suit my needs.

My wet kitchen where my baking was done previously.
|
As you can see from the
photos, I have very limited space to work on in my wet kitchen
previously as the counter top was occupied by many kitchen
appliances. (I have moved the KitchenAid, airfryer and breadmaker to their new home.) I have also run out of storage spaces as my baking tools
and accessories kept increasing over the 2.5 years since I picked up
baking.
The new dry kitchen has a big worktop for me to work on and
ample storage for my baking appliances and tools. My friends even
commented that it is big enough for me to conduct baking classes!
This is a good suggestion which I may consider in future. :)
I am very
blessed that Brandt has sponsored me with the following three
appliances for my newly built dry kitchen. With these, I am able to explore more on my culinary adventures. I have included the specifications and features of the appliances below.

Cyclic Intuitive Cooking
Brandt’s innovation for controlling the cooking zones quickly.
The Cyclic hob (7,200 W)
with its 3 independent cooking zones will satisfy your every cooking desire. It has innovative, ergonomic, easy-to-use controls.
With your finger, turn the circular slider clockwise to increase power; to reduce, turn the slider counter clockwise.
The result: flexibility, precision, instantaneous reactivity to go from the lowest to the highest temperature. These hobs also have 3 timers and direct access buttons.
3 power levels, low (3), medium (6) or booster (P), are directly available through the centre key.
Brandt’s exclusive technology optimises heat distribution throughout the saucepan.
INDUCTION: ECONOMICAL COOKING
Induction is quick and economical. It only takes 4 mins 40 secs to bring 2 litres of water to a boil and induction only consumes 225W, as compared to 8 mins 20 secs and 390W for a gas burner(1). Induction is also responsive and safe. After boiling, an induction cooking zone only takes 6 mins 10 secs for its surface temperature to drop to 110°C vs. 13 mins 20 secs and 270°C for a gas burner.
INDUCTION: PRECISION COOKING
With induction technology, the cooking hob generates heat exclusively on contact with cookware through a phenomenon of “induced” current produced at the base of this cookware, which instantaneously raises its temperature. This heat is then transferred to the food, which is simmered or seared depending on your settings.
RRP: SIN $1899
