Let me share Samsung Electronics Philippines Corporation back to school recipes personally prepared by Chef Ernest Gala.
Moms always want to dish something new for their kids to make it more appetizing and exciting. The Chef whips out dishes one can easily prepare for your child to bring to school—or make baon , with the help of the brand new Samsung RS803 Side by Side Refrigerator and the Samsung Smart Oven.Aside from its uniquely large and spacious capacity (the biggest in the “Side-By-Side” Philippine market yet at 28.7 cubic feet) the RS803 has an all-around cooling feature that will surely keep your ingredients fresher for a longer period of time, storing them to their utmost natural prime. Samsung’s latest technology can definitely add elegance to your kitchen with its classic timesquare finish without sacrificing energy savings, performance, or durability. This model even sports a digital inverter compressor and is so trustworthy that it comes with a whopping 10-year warranty on it!
The Samsung Smart Oven that I own is a definite kitchen must-have. With its innovative Slim Fry function, the Smart Oven breaks away from your typical Microwave Oven by allowing you to fry food to a crisp without the oil! Not only that, but the Smart Oven is also equipped with unique sensors that allow it to identify the condition of the product before cooking.
Now that you have all you need in your kitchen, you can try one of Chef Gala’s Back-to-School Recipes:
