My Cookware

B4 I proceed with my food post, let me present u the sets of cookware that I use to prepare my daily meals. Dear hubby bought the Kuhn Rihon (KR) & Spring (Sp) stainless steel cookwares for their multi-layers of high-quality heating-elements that heat up extremely fast to retain the food nutrients. KR pans are in double-layer to keep the food tender by further self-cooking off-flame, thus saving energy & time & furthermore food can keep warm for few hours.

When I attended herbal cooking at Bishan East Z3 RC in 95, Irin demonstrated fast & tasty cooking of 2 dishes using the KR pressure cooker with an insert for 2nd dish. Bought our 1st Multi-therm set, 3L & 5L pressure-cookers with double-boil & steam inserts from ex-agent Ani & attended her cooking classes. We took over the induction hob (given away to a neighbour when shifted here), a 2L casserole & 2.5L braising pan when Ani closed her cookshop. We also bought a Sp wok with wooden handles, the only induction wok with a small flat base that is able to sit on the hob.

Dan took over KR agency for a short period. When he quit, we added the beautiful set of Sp Goldstar casseroles & saucepan. We also bought a Sp 1.5L whistling kettle.

We snapped the only displayed 2L Swiss kettle here when KR Regional Office in Spore was down-sizing, couldn't find induction kettle then. Sp kettle is quite small & it's difficult to open the (whistle) cap when hot. We added the 2.5L pressure-cooker for its unique long handles.

Esta took over KR agency in 98 but she was promoting the 3-pc Hotpan; ie pot, insulating bowl & cover. Didn't like them initailly & ordered a Multi-therm 1L pot (esp flown-in but can't locate it now) to cook porridge for my late-dad. Attended her cookshops & end-up we bought a whole set of Hotpan as well as the 6L & 8L single-wall pressure-cookers as they're much lighter. Total, we've 5 pressure-cookers, enough to cook a feast. I did a few demos to friends & neighbours when we 1st shifted here. An unused 4L dutch oven with plastic insulating bowl is somewhere in the store.

Last purchase is the Tupperchef fryer, couldn't resist the long-handle frying pan for its broad flat base to fry pancake, roti prata...

The smaill WMF flat-base pan was redeemed at Metro last year. It's good for quick frying of small wanton, nuggets...

KR in Facebook is in the alien Swiss language. Hence I'm creating a Kuhn Rihon Fan Group for all KR users or food lovers to interact & share our & healthy recipes.
