Preparing the Perfect Festive Spread

  JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, December 15, 2014 – The festive season is upon us and it’s the time of year when many are in need of a little inspiration to ensure the perfect feast, whilst not compromising on being with family by spending too much time in the kitchen.

“It is important for consumers who have been working tirelessly all year to create memories with loved ones rather than spending hours in the kitchen during the holiday season. By using the right appliances effectively, they can minimise time spent cooking and still ensure that preparations are an enjoyable experience,” says Michelle Potgieter, Director of Corporate Marketing and Communications at Samsung Electronics SA.

Potgieter highlights the following need to know tips when creating that unspoiled meal this festive season:   Choose time saving equipment “It is important for the host to choose devices that are easy to use and efficient, ensuring that the preparation of any food is not time consuming and that there is actually an opportunity to relax,” explains Potgieter. Appliances such as Samsung’s Dual Cook Oven enables one to simultaneously cook two different dishes, at different temperatures, allowing the cook to be more productive.

Investing in a dishwasher is the ideal way to save time after the family has enjoyed their delicious meal and it is important to consider one that not only caters for everyday dishes but also has space for casserole dishes, pots and pans.    Have fun Although the end of the year is characterised by more time being spent in the kitchen, families can use this to their advantage and have fun. Why not bake a batch of biscuits with everyone - a perfect treat for Santa and his helpers, and let Samsung’s Smart Microwave Oven help you too. The product’s advanced fermentation technology even allows the making of yoghurt - contributing to a fun experience for all.

Planning forms an integral part of the process Shops are at their busiest over this period; but to create a delicious meal and remain healthy, one needs the freshest ingredients. To avoid spending unnecessary time shopping for items, choose a spacious refrigerator with features that keep food fresh for longer.

Samsung’s Chef Collection refrigerator features a Triple Cooling System, which creates three separate airflows in the refrigerator and freezer, enabling optimal humidity control and improved cooling performance for each compartment.    Potgieter concludes: “Using innovative technology smartly this festive season will ensure that one can maximise on quality time with family and friends. When choosing the right solutions for your home, consider appliances that truly offer meaningful innovations to help you make the most of your celebrations.”
