Midea Gas Ranges: Surprisingly withstanding the test of Filipino-style cooking

Tweet

Everytime traditional holidays approaching on the calendar, we start planning. Inviting friends, involve the kids, and create your own lasting memories. Whenever Filipinos are preparing for a big celebration, whether it is for birthdays, fiestas or family reunions, the kitchen sure gets so busy with all the cooking that needs to be done. All hands are on deck as all available chopping boards are brought out and batches of ingredients go through knives before getting them in the pots. While some ingredients are boiled or steamed before they are combined with the other ingredients to complete the dish, there are some that gets the heat treatment by frying, grilling, or roasting. This is how Filipinos do their feasts as one big community or one big family, helping each other, and then finally bonding over the dishes that they labored for.

A lot of kitchen appliances get battered every time there is a big feast coming up, especially the gas stoves and ranges, because they catch all the mess from pots dripping with sauces that usually get caked on the surfaces. This could rust the body or some other parts of the stove and eventually affect its performance and eventually cause it to become unusable. 

The world’s leading manufacturer of consumer appliances, Midea understands the nature of how serious Filipinos are when it comes to cooking meals for their feasts. The varied culinary influences the country got from the Chinese, Malay, Spanish and other contemporary cuisines has kept the Filipinos’ passion for cooking burning bright, as some age-old traditions are being passed down, rediscovered, and reinvented by the younger generation.

Younger families who trace their roots from far-flung provinces are bringing in their family’s tradition to their very own homes, where there might be not enough open space for a fire pit for roasting and grilling, or those big and heavy gas ranges that could fire up a big wok and take in enough volume of food enough for a good portion of the family clan or barangay. Luckily, these young generations of families could still continue to enjoy and pass on further their family’s great recipes with Midea’s newest lineup of gas ranges that are specially designed to surprisingly withstand the test of Filipino cooking. 

They have three models, two of which has an oven volume of 58L, while the other has a bigger one with 65L, each of which could accommodate 4 pans and pots cooking simultaneously. These sizes are more than enough to take in big batches of liempo or fish to grill, or a big slab of pork belly, rolled into a porchetta stuffed with tanglad and other ingredients that makes a lechon flavorful.

The 65L model has its own thermostat, which makes it easier for any home chef to control the temperature in the oven and serve only the best home-cooked Pinoy favorites. It could even function as a rotisserie, so that it could cook any kind of meat evenly and perfectly. And with its tempered glass lid, monitoring your culinary specialty with the gas range door closed is a breeze. While all of the models are using SBT burners to make every cooking experience safe, the 65L model even has a flame failure device to keep gas from building up within the appliance. These features do not only assure the safety of everyone and getting every family member involved and to bond in the kitchen, they also enable Midea’s gas ranges to be handed down to the next generation. 

Cooking in large volumes and very frequently could lead to a burnout, with gas tanks running out of fumes to keep you going. One of the 58L models has a hot plate where it uses electricity to heat up the pans and allows you to cook. This could be helpful in keeping the whole kitchen running, even if it is just one stove cooking and everyone is taking a quick break to wait for an LPG refill or replenishment. After everything is done and everyone in the family, friends, or guests are satisfied with the feast, cleaning up the Midea’s gas ranges is absolutely friendly because its body is made out of tough stainless steel.

Midea is also confident in giving their customers a 2-year warranty on parts and labor along with a 5-year warranty on burners. This could only mean that Midea’s lineup of gas ranges are there to stay in the kitchen for a very long time, dealing with more hard core cooking, Filipino-style for the years to come. With that much time, another younger generation of family members will be ready to take on the family tradition and hopefully pass on the cooking torch as well.

A warm welcome coming home from a tough day

It is not an uncommon scene in the house, that whenever someone comes home from school or from the office, they seem to drag their bodies in and just crash somewhere in the couch. Every day, the body tackles a lot of different kinds of stress from work or from studying. The body may take a lot of beating from every day commute or physical tasks at hand. And when it is coupled with a mind that is beaten and exhausted, anyone could break down.

Fortunately, there is an effective way to ease stress in the comfort of anyone’s home. All it takes is a good 5 to 10 minute hot shower, and everything could feel good again. Midea, the world’s leading manufacturer of consumer appliances, understands the need for having home solutions that are not just good in fulfilling its function at home but in making every home a place where the family can relax and do whatever a family is supposed to be doing— bonding over movie marathons, dining with home-cooked meals together, and much more.

With Midea’s lineup of water heaters, anyone from the family coming home stressed could immediately enjoy a nice hot shower. Unlike the conventional way of heating water from the stove, submersible water heaters, or even from other similar models, Midea’s water heaters have the surprisingly friendly Quick Warm Heating Element that allows it to immediately spurt out hot water. A tired body is relaxed by a hot shower which easily loosens muscles and joints. The tension and possible inflammation from overuse and strain of muscles and joints during the day is eased off, much like how a massage does, but more convenient. Hot showers also improves blood circulation, giving your body a boost in healing itself.

Quick hot showers are also good for the skin as it opens pores and clears the skin of toxins and other impurities that it may have gotten from the environment outside the house. Just keep in mind that hot showers shouldn’t go over 10 minutes or it might dry up the skin. 

Luckily, as another good practical surprise, Midea Water Heaters are equipped with Safety Sensors that regulate the temperature it applies to water that would keep the skin from getting scalded. 

Coming home with a headache, or worse, a migraine can be eased off by hot showers as well. It could easily alleviate the pain after taking that warmth in. It is also known to be a good natural way of decongesting nasal passages and in helping reduce insomnia. All of these benefits from taking a hot shower with a Midea Water Heater could help reduce anxiety brought about different stress factors. This allows every family member to feel comfortable whenever they are home, which could even ease some stress from their relationship with each other. 

Midea definitely wants every family to experience how enjoyable hot showers are and to have peace of mind whenever the electricity bill comes because a hot shower with a Midea Water Heater just costs as low as Php 8.00 for every 10-minute turn. Feeling refreshed in the morning, the whole family is more than ready to take on any challenges of their day ahead.

Midea technology : All the unexpected features for your expected needs at home

Tweet

The home is where the word comfort is probably felt the strongest. It is a space where its residents can truly loosen up and relax their tensed bodies after a day’s worth of work. It is also where people can really have enjoyment in cooking and eating their food, because it is where they probably tasted their favorite food from their parents’ cooking. The word home has served as more than just a space of comfort and sustenance, it has always been a reason for people to do better in life— in a way making the home better.

One way of making the home better is by filling it in with appliances that could make the home life easier, especially with the chores. While people try to get the most convenient and easy to use equipment. They also tend to get those items that looks good in the space it takes up. Midea, the world’s leading manufacturer of consumer appliances, understands the need for having home solutions that both satisfies form and function that provides surprisingly friendly solutions. With top-notch technology and stylish looks, Midea appliances could also easily get a space in anybody’s home.

One of which is Midea’s Induction Cooker that has a sleek design which gives it a stylishly futuristic look. It could sit lavishly on any kitchen counter top and don’t take that too much space— perfect for those living in condominium units. It is a common notion that induction cookers need specialized pans to cook food, but the truth is, as long as a magnet will stick to your pan there is no need to buy new sets of cookware to use Midea’s Induction Cooker.

It is also easier to control the temperature of the pan, unlike with its predecessors – the gas stoves and other electric cooktops. It is easier to clean because the food only gets cooked in the pan and not on the cooker. At the same time, it won’t burn your hands or fingers, because of its flameless heating and Auto Safe shut off feature that automatically cools off the cooker. It is safe, efficient, and stylish all in one.

And when the going gets tougher every day, and cooking food faster is becoming a challenge, what is usually done is putting leftover food in the microwave oven, and doing a replay of a meal a family already had. What homemakers don’t know was they can actually cook or even bake meals in the microwave oven. With just a few quick adjustments with the settings, Midea’s lineup of Mechanical and Digital Microwave Ovens could cook meals faster than the conventional way of doing it in a pan.

This suits well to those who are always on the go, and didn’t have that much time to prepare their food, or, to those who need to prepare a feast real quick before their guests arrive. Aside from saving time for other things, cooking with the microwave oven makes every meal healthier, because quick cooking locks in more nutrients in the food and because it is not necessary to use oil, the food cooked in the microwave oven has 10% less fat compare to conventional frying.

When it is already time to cool down coming home from work and a hearty meal, Midea has a lineup of Non-Inverter and Inverter Split Type Aircon. One of the common challenges in trying to own an aircon unit is the fear of having some insanely high cost on the electric bill. Midea responds to these challenges with their expertise and advance aircon technology.

Consumers can enjoy the benefits of having an aircon for a longer time without that big cost on the bill with Midea’s Eco Mode feature and DC Inverter Technology. This allows the user set their desired temperature, while Midea does the rest on saving up on energy maintaining the ideal temperature throughout its use. Plus, the consumers won’t need to worry about the noise while they sleep, because Midea added a Quiet Mode feature in its aircon and keep its operation silent.

And another great thing, Midea gives its customers Installation Subsidy to save more on the cost of owning an aircon, given that it will be done by an authorized installer. This is just one of the reasons that makes Midea lead in the after sales warranty category in the Philippine market. 

Midea prides itself in providing a 5-year warranty for its compressor, which only shows their confidence with the quality of their products. And what’s even more amazing is how these air-conditioning units would look good in any room.

Midea will always be at the forefront of improving their products through extensive research and constant innovation with how they manufacture their technology. This expertise in providing surprisingly home friendly solutions with high quality functionality also meets the consumers’ tasteful eye for style by making these products an appliance to behold on any wall or kitchen counter top.

Gearing up for this season’s feasts

Tweet

When the months in the calendar start to end with “ber”, here in the Philippines, the mood quickly changes into a more festive one, as malls begin to play the old Christmas tunes that everybody loves, decors suddenly become very shiny, and soon enough Christmas items from the groceries pop up in bundles or in baskets. And it wouldn’t be long until parties start to flood company schedules instead of meetings and the much awaited Christmas vacation will just be around the corner.

The season brings a lot of people together— colleagues in the office who are in need of a break, old friends from way, way back, and the extended family that has grown bigger from the past year— and it is always a must that these gatherings are complemented by a big feasts. It is quite easy to ask for a caterer to do all the cooking for everybody, but Christmas is also a time for everyone who are talented in the culinary arts to show off some skill in the kitchen. Potlucks are good as well for the budget and everybody gets to have a share on what is going to be on the table, but cooking for a big crowd is still one tough feat.

Hosting a Christmas party or get-together is all a different challenge all together, especially when it comes to stocking up all the necessary ingredients for the feast. Playing Tetris in the refrigerator trying to fit in everything from meats, fruits, vegetable, and other ingredients could be a daunting task— not to mention getting food spoiled because of leaks and being too cramped together. Fortunately, the world’s leading consumer appliances manufacturer, Midea offers yet another home solution that would ease up the challenges in stocking up on everything that is needed for a feast - after all, its products are meant to be surprisingly friendly at home.

They have an array of refrigerators the suits everyone’s big needs for big space, especially this time of the year. They have a 19.4 cu ft Side by Side Refrigerator that can fit up 20 baskets of groceries, that’s more than enough groceries to feed at least two batches of a hungry crowd in a get-together. With that much space, all of the ingredients are assured to be kept safe and fresh before they go into the hot kitchen. And this refrigerator’s Multi-Airflow feature enables uniform cooling which protects food from sudden changes in temperature, keeping it fresh all throughout.

Its electronic control makes it easy to keep the refrigerator at a desired temperature, while being energy efficient, which cuts down electrical consumption by almost half— making it also cool with the budget too. Most of all, its stainless steel finish gives it a very stylish and elegant look, which could be a conversation starter with the guests at the party.

Midea has a version of this Side by Side Refrigerator which has a Multi-functional Dispenser that gives out ice water, ice cubes, and crushed ice. This makes it easier for everyone to get a cold glass of water or ice for their drinks, while the Home Bar on the refrigerators opposite side could take care of other beverages. Its Super Cooling and Super Freezing functions takes no time to keep ingredients cool and fresh while it churns out ice and chills beverages.

Midea’s 20.1 cu ft French Door Refrigerator on the other hand has more unique features that would definitely make it easier to stock up and keep all of their grocery items fresh in the fridge. It can also fit up to 20 baskets of groceries and cut down electrical consumption by half with its turbo inverter. It has the same Multi-airflow that ensures uniform cooling throughout the refrigerator with High Moisture Retention Technology that maintains an optimum humidity level to keep food fresh for a longer period of time.

Its Dual Cooling System has Smart Sensors that accurately controls the ideal temperature in the refrigerator and freezer compartments, while its Photosynthetic Preservation function uses UV light to promote photosynthesis and removes pesticides from fruits and vegetables, prolonging its lifespan in the fridge. And very much like its Side by Side Refrigerator counterpart, it has a stylish and elegant look with its stainless steel finish.

With all of these big and spacious refrigerators in your kitchen ready to take in everything that will be needed for a one big feast this season, Christmas parties, reunions, and get-togethers will be a lot easier to deal with especially with handling all the preparations for the food. Everyone can enjoy meals with the freshest ingredients thanks to Midea’s solution in keeping all of it fresh and crisp before cooking. And after all of the festivities are done, you can be sure that there will still be some space for leftovers which you can enjoy the next day.

"If you are able to do home chores in a worry-free manner, it makes the home more harmonious. This is the driving force behind Midea Solutions." - Philip Trapaga, General Manager.

The iAdd Washing Machine revolutionizes the laundry workload by making it super easy and worry-free. The iAdd Auto-Dosing Technology, the first and one of its kind here in the country, ensures up to 44% savings on detergent and fabric softener.

This technology has an intelligent weighing system, with a precision rate of +/- 300g. It weighs the laundry and based on this, releases the right amount of detergent and fabric softener. Aside from the savings, consumers don’t have to worry about putting too much or too little detergent and fabric softener.

The iAdd washing machine also has a Cleanliness Meter that detects dirt and soap for a better wash. The machine will automatically set an additional rinse cycle if there is still soap residue in the water. This feature also ensures that your clothes won’t have that funky smell from soap residue stuck in your clothes.

In terms of noise, the iAdd washing machines ensure that you enjoy peace and quiet with its silent and efficient inverter motor. It’s so quiet, you don’t even notice that it’s running.

Lastly, the iAdd front load has an Auto Dryer Sensor that runs the ideal drying setting for your clothes so you save on time, electricity plus you save your clothes from over drying and shrinking.

Add to that the sleek, modern, and durable design it comes in, this appliance is everything you need to say goodbye to your laundry woes. Midea is definitely set to make home living as convenient and comfortable as ever, one smart product at a time.

As the new Midea Ambassador Chef Rob Pengson graced the event with his beautiful wife, Sunshine Pengson. They shared to the attendees their secrets to successfully being able to manage the busy lifestyle that comes with being professional chefs and parents to their two lovely kids.

Tips to keep your cool this summer season, Protect yourself from heat stroke

Tweet

Summer is here. The cool, windy days are almost over. In a few weeks, everyone will be trading in their sweaters with their swimsuits to herald the days of sun and sand. But while the coming sunny days promise fun moments at the beach, one must never forget to be diligent when it comes to problems common during this season. 

With the heat index expected to rise, the public is once again reminded to be diligent against summer problems like heat stroke. The affliction, which becomes common during hot and humid conditions, is considered a serious medical emergency by the Department of Health (DOH). 

Heat stroke happens when the body overheats and includes symptoms like headaches, dizziness, intense thirst, and fainting. When left untreated, it can cause damage to the heart, kidneys, and the brain.

Enjoy the moments of feeling sand between your toes while sipping piña coladas under bright umbrellas. While you are at it, practice the tips below to make sure you keep your cool this summer season. 

1. Wear appropriate clothing

Wear a wide-brimmed hat and long-sleeved, light-colored clothing when going outside. Other than preventing heat stroke, this will also help protect the skin from sunburn. 

2. Schedule your activities

The DOH suggests to schedule heavy-duty tasks during the beginning or end of the day when the temperature is much cooler. The risk of heat stroke particularly increases when doing strenuous activities (e.g. exercising). 

3. Keep hydrated 

We sweat more during summer so there is a higher need to replenish the fluids in the body. It is suggested to drink more water than coffee, soda, tea, and alcoholic beverages since they are believed to have a diuretic effect, meaning they can trigger the body to expel more liquid (in the form of urine) rather than replenish the body’s water levels. 

4. Limit your time outdoors

Limiting the time spent outdoors is advised during the hot summer days. Resting in places with air conditioning to cool down is highly recommended. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), exposure to air conditioning for a few hours a day can lessen the risk for heat-related illnesses. 

An air conditioner like Midea Genesis White Inverter split type model can help keep heat stroke at bay with its quality performance and technology. In addition to effective cooling performance, the model features a Quiet Mode that cancels indoor unit noise and a Bio Filter that makes use of specialized biological enzymes & HEPA filter to eliminate harmful microbes for a healthy indoor air quality. 

Worried that you’ll blow up your electric bills with increase used of air conditioning? The Midea Genesis White Inverter model is equipped with the Turbo DC Inverter that switches use between the compressor and the fan and the Eco Mode which automatically adjusts its cooling function to save energy. In fact, an hour of use of this cooling appliance only costs Php 2.96 (for 1Hp) according to Meralco testing. 

Heat stroke is a serious problem. Keep your chill by practicing these four steps and enjoy the summer with no worries. 

Midea’s small domestic appliances debunk common home appliance myths

Are you worried of your household’s energy consumption?

Filipinos are smart buyers. Among household managers whose buying decisions are driven by factors like versatility and energy efficiency. The latter is especially noticeable in the domestic appliance market due to the fluctuating power issues that the country has been seeing in the past years. 

Electricity remains as the most utilized energy resource used by households. An estimated 87 percent of 21 million households use it as a power source, placing it as one of the most important concerns of both established and starter homes. 

“A lot of our daily activities now are dependent on technology so it is natural that the concern for energy rates is also growing,” explains Phillip Trapaga, General Manager of Midea Philippines. “Increasing costs of electricity usage is a reality that we all have to adapt to.”

The silver lining is that technology is also keeping up with the shifting demands of consumers. The small domestic appliance market, for example, is now being flocked by products that place energy-efficiency as top priority. 

“If it’s only about finding ways to make electricity bills friendlier to the pocket, then there is no shortage of solutions in the market. The challenge is that some consumers still have these misconceptions that all domestic appliances eat up a lot of electricity,” explains Trapaga.

Answering common appliance challenges

In addition to concerns on energy consumption, there are also misconceptions on the efficiency and usability of innovative small domestic appliances. For multi-cookers, for example, consumers are under the impression that cooking can be complicated and not at par with the traditional way of food preparation. 

Midea’s Digital Multi-Cooker and Pressure Cooker addresses these concerns with its suite of innovative features. Its Thermal Circulation technology offers perfectly steamed rice by providing even heating in the cooking pot while its 12 programmed functions and 7 pressure levels promises easy, effortless cooking that save time and energy. Additionally, this pressure cooker is also a good option for health-conscious individuals thanks to its feature of locking in nutrients during the cooking process. 

Safety concerns are also a major consideration. Especially in the kitchen where most accidents happen, many fear that using appliances makes one more prone to danger. 

“Safety features are an important element that consumers should also look for in appliances,” says Trapaga. “This is particularly important for households with children.” 

Kettles, as unassuming as they are, can cause scalding, burning, electric shocks, and fires. Midea addresses these concerns with its Safety Kettle with Sure-Safe Double Wall Technology that makes the exterior safe to the touch. Additionally, it also has a UK Strix control that provides dry boiling and overheating protection and a cord storage for added safety and convenience. 

Energy-efficient partners

Enjoying the benefits of innovative home partners do not need to be expensive. For Midea, the brand answers this concern with a solid collection of features dedicated to energy efficiency.

The Midea Multi-Cooker, which can be used to prepare a variety of dishes, cancels out the need to use multiple appliances to prepare a meal. It also only takes 8php of electricity usage to prepare a tender and flavorful Bulalo. 

The same also goes for the Midea Safety Kettle which boils twice as fast than an electric stovetop kettle. Not only do you save time, it also provides 50% savings on electrical consumption. 

“Misconceptions can get in the way of fully enjoying a lot of conveniences. Wise choices and awareness to these solutions can definitely let households experience these without the constant fear of electric bills and other concerns hanging over their heads,” Trapaga finishes.
