8 Reasons Why You Should Buy Instant Pot [Instant Pot Philippines]

Prior to the launch of Instant Pot here in the Philippines, I use my mother's old-school hand-me-down  pressure cooker she acquired from my grandmother. I love the novelty of family heirlooms that survived generations, don't get me wrong. But if you know how are the pressure cooker of yesteryears - safety and all, you would understand why this girl needs some moving on.

The first time that I was introduced to Instant Pot was years ago when an aunt from Ontario let me try a delicious fall-off-the-bone baby back ribs she made in less than an hour with her Instant Pot. That time, I knew I fell in love - with both the ribs and the Instant Pot.

Now that Instant Pot is already here in the Philippines, my love continues. And the more I use it, the more I see how effective and impressive this kitchen appliance is. So in this blog post, I am going to share with you 8 Reasons Why You Should Buy An Instant Pot. Because I'm pretty sure you would love it too.

My Food Photography and Styling Props Storage Solution: Hanns Storage Rack

At home, I practice the art of minimalism as much as I can. Minimalist approach works best for me because I find it hard to function if my place is too crowded with things and everything isn't spic and span. I am easily bothered with things lying around without a designated storage place.

As you may have known, I work as a props and food stylist. I also do food photography as it is an essential part of my blog. This means that I've got plenty of gadgets, food props, and other thingamajigs I have acquired through the years.

I have to be honest that sometimes, dealing with these gadgets and props can be messy and chaotic. Especially when I have to work on consecutive projects that I barely have time to keep things in order. So storage bins and racks became my best friends. Recent one I got on hand was Hanns Storage Rack.

Meet the New KitchenAid Artisan MINI

I am super stoked to share recipes using my new KitchenAid Mini Stand Mixer but let me give you first some information you want to know about this new addition to the KitchenAid family. It was only early this month when KitchenAid Mini was launched here in the Philippines facilitated by Focus Global Inc., the exclusive distributor of KitchenAid here in the country. 

Thanks to the fun hands-on baking class led by no less than chef Miko Aspiras during the launch, I personally got to experience the amazing power of this new baby. With that, I am excited for you my dear readers to #MeetTheMini. 

"Mini" is the operative word because compared to other full size KitchenAid titl-head stand mixers, KitchenAid Mini is 20% smaller and 25% lighter but said to be just as powerful.
