It is (finally) the time of the year, where people come together and look forward to the top of the charts mouth-watering foods – Ramadhan! Starting 24th of April, the Muslims in Malaysia and some parts of the world are celebrating Ramadhan, a Holy Month.
Unfortunately, due to a global pandemic, there is no Bazaar Ramadhan that we can go to anymore like the previous years. We are left with an obvious option: cooking the food to break fast at home. To help all mommies save your energy and cooking time, here are our top 10 kitchen appliances and tools that you can invest to prepare your Ramadhan dishes.
Presenting, your assistance chef!
1. Philips Turbo Digital Air Fryer
This air fryer has the options of how you want to cook such as bake, fry, grill, roast, and even BBQ. With this air fryer, you just need little to no oil to fry your dishes anymore.
Both the temperature and timer on this air fryer can be adjusted and it has a big capacity, so it is easier for you to prepare a big family meal at a time.

2. Automatic pan stirrer with timer
Oops, did you forget to stir the Rendang sos again? Some of our food needs the time to be slow-cooked especially for those hot and spicy dishes like rendang and sambal. And let’s face it. While waiting, we always have something else to do – cut the vegetables, wash some of the dishes, and etc.
Trust me, if there is ever a need to multitask in the kitchen, this one is a must-have!
3. KitchenAid Artisan Tilt-Head Stand Mixer
Mixing ingredients can be messy if you are accident-prone (like me). With this mixer, the flour will not ‘stains’ your floor or face anymore. One plus point, stirring that whipped cream and making a Dalgona coffee is much easier!
4. 12 in 1 Multi-Function Cooking Kitchen Machine Thermo Mixer
The IT-item among all mothers these days!
In our cooking culture, spices are the essentials. Now you can mix, blend, and cook all of your ingredients with this thermomixer.
This IT-item can do all of the usual pan-on-the-stove’s jobs with no use of open fire and most importantly, with this one item, you don’t need the other pans or pots!
Well, if that does not save your time then, I am not sure what else can!
5. Shredder/Peeler with Stainless Steel Blades
One of the most time-consuming activities in the kitchen is usually the process of preparing the ingredients. From cutting to peeling all the needed vegetables and fruits, now you only need this magical helper to speed up the process.
6. Digital Weighing Scale
A dash of this, a dash of that and well a few of those as well…vague much? Get a weighing scale! Proportions are now easier for you to gouge. If previously you are wondering about the measurement of each ingredient versus how many people are going to eat it, with this weighing scale, you can sit back and relax.
7. Samsung Microwave Oven
Heating up foods to make it lasts longer is an activity we often do to avoid spoiled food and wastes as well. In this time of Ramadan, we should be extra attentive to the food we prepare and make sure that we don’t waste our food. Keep your food fresh and hot with a microwave oven.
8. Philips All-In-One Pressure Cooker
This treasure pot includes features of a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, yogurt maker, baking, and you can even sauté too. It also has an automatic reheat function, no need to worry whether you pressed that reheat button anymore! Not only is it multi-functional it is also easy to use and clean. Now, what are you waiting for?
9. Hot Pot Pan Dish Gripper/Holder
One thing in cooking is that we have to be very careful of the heat. Being hurt when you are careless is a common occurrence in the kitchen. So, this tool is excellent for when you need to move or hold hot plate, bowls, or pans especially when you can’t use those thick oven mitts!
10. Electrolux 30cm Built-in Induction Hob
Fire and heat is the main thing that we need to be very attentive to when we cook. Slow heat, moderate heat, or even high heat for fast cooking are all easy to set with this induction hob.
Moreover, it has timer functions, so no more worries about forgetting to close the fire anymore! Plus, induction cookers are fire hazard-free, in which you don’t need to worry about the gas tank too.
