LG Philippines Dares You to "Ask LG"

I've seen it on social channels several times, and now know why they're daring you to "Ask LG".

It's their initiative to make sure customers of their home appliances get to be closer than before with the brand, their customer service channels and information about your LG product. This is quite good to see especially from a consumer standpoint because it takes product knowledge to another level. Online content is useful and if it is used correctly, it should be data driven, much like what they are doing in "Ask LG".

In the series of videos, they will take frequently asked questions and make sure to answer details that consumers should and want to know about their LG products. This is actually big because as of this writing, the 100 videos they have published has already been watched by 26.5 Million times, and been subscribed by over 119 thousand followers on socials.

Imagine how easy this would be to be watched by customers who have access to the internet so they wouldn't have to go through the arduous task of calling, email or brick and mortar ways of getting help. It's like they've made these so you get the information you need, when you need it. This includes troubleshooting guides, product pages, things that you can see fast when you click and watch it.

In the videos, they include vacuum nozzles, cleaning sofa, why there's no ice on your freezer, things like that.

Electrolux Launches NutriFresh Inverter Refrigerators

In grand ceremonies at the Green Sun Hotel this morning, our favorite appliance brand Electrolux just launched their NutriFresh Inverter Refrigerators. The premise, is to keep your food market fresh for 7 days so you would keep it healthier and still flavorful. Is that possible? Yes! Because their NutriFresh Inverter Refrigerators are all equipped with a FreshShield Crisper to get temperatures stable, lower moisture loss, and higher humidity so it keeps your fruits and veggies as fresh as you get them from the market.

Aside from that, these refrigerators employ inverter technology and therefore already save about 37% of energy, quite environmental friendly!

There are a lot of models available in thenElectrolux NutriFresh Inverter Refrigerator line but I love the 3 door French Door model specifically. It would probably be best for families who keep a ton of things in the fridge especially if you keep things for a month's worth (like we do). But the 2 door models would also be apt for small families or bachelors who love to cook! Sounds like me LOL!

My favorite Chef Bruce was there too! 

Anyway, check out their other appliances over at Facebook.com/ElectroluxPhilippines or follow them on Instagram at @electroluxph.

Smart Cooking with Samsung Home Appliances

We went to Chef Ernest Reynoso Galang's Gala Stars Culinary School in Pasig City to take a few lessons so we could use some of Samsung's modern ovens and state of the art refrigerators to whip up a couple of recipes during the event. I cook a little, but am yet to fully utilize my Samsung oven and this was something that they think could get us a little acquainted with the appliance and got a few bloggers in the mix to make the  activity a little competitive. This time we we're not cooking our best recipes but doing everything by the book. Instead of frying we could use the modern oven to air fry, aside from that, we could use the Samsung Refrigerators to keep the ingredients fresh and frozen at some point.

The executives from Samsung Home Appliances and Chef Ernest gave us small talk about how we can maximize the use of the appliances. They also told us not to worry about cooking that afternoon because it's going to be easy. 

When we arrived they already did the "mise en place" so we barely prepared everything and just had to put things together. The school mostly does this on their classes I think. When we started to cook it was awesome to have the instructions on paper at that time, that made it easier for us to understand. They also got the "finished product" in front so we could see how it'll all turn out.

The appliances were kinda huge because they're more industrial, fit for the school's function. Still, I could definitely see how this will all look like when the appliances are at home. It'll definitely help a lot.

After pounding the Chicken Breast (to flatten), we had it butterflied and inserted slices of Spam (original flavor) and a couple strips of cheese. You just roll them up, put them in F.E.B., that's Flour, Egg and Bread Crumbs (specifically in that order) and put them in the fridge so they could hold their form. Then, you just deep fry them or bake, it depends on your preference but it'll be crispier with oil. It'll be way healthier if you put it on the oven though.

It was meaty, spicy and cheesy, just the way I liked it. I put in a sprinkle of dried herbs on mine like basil, pepper and cayenne so it would be different from the others who made the same dish. It was absolutely, insanely delicious! Of course, I made it! :P

We also made pasta with only a few ingredients. It's sauce was just made by Basil, Garlic and Tomato. I had my serving with tons of Parmesan cheese whilst the one for show had fried basil leaves on top. It was simple, yet very filling. It could even pass for date food if I were cooking for someone special, but you can always cook for yourself and make it your comfort food. I know I do.

Life became so easy with the Samsung Ovens and Refrigerator. I still have my fridge at home and it's so efficient, we've had it for years. I also have the Samsung Oven but I'm still learning to use it. You can cook too if you had the right products in your kitchen, all it takes is the right ones from Samsung so you can get started with your own culinary journey. That's smart cooking!

Samsung Digital Home Appliances: The Eve of Digital Inverter CompressorRefrigerators

Samsung among all things have been leading in the technology department; and just like any good manufacturer they are bringing this all into your homes via their appliances. It was my first time seeing all of these and it turned out to be an awesome day. Why? I'll tell you in a bit. For starters, let's see what the event is all about. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Samsung Digital Home Appliances. Shall we start? =)

One of our hosts that quaint afternoon at Chef Jessie's restaurant in Rockwell was Yaya Ian Galliguez; I've never seen her before. Aside from playing this role complete with a British accent, she pretty much knows her way around the kitchen. She was showing us a couple of refrigerator models in front that's made me a lot interested because they were not ordinary. Since it's made from Samsung, these are all No-Frost Inverter Refrigerators. Imagine the technology that was initially only available on air conditioning is now being applied to other pieces of appliances and cooling systems; something only this company is actually capable of. Now that they are bringing it much closer to your home and they are bringing it even with style. Practical, less consumption of energy and environmentally friendly, these models are way advanced and give you savings which is more than what you can ask for in a fridge.
