Kitchen must-haves

The kitchen is where one creates a meal for family and friends. There are tools and equipment that can make work in the kitchen less complicated. GE presents the Merlin and the Monogram induction cooktops to help make life in the kitchen a breeze.

The concept of selling water in bottles and gallons seemed like a far fetched idea before. However, with water-borne diseases risking the health of children and adults, water quality suddenly became a pressing issue. Selling water in bottles wasn’t so improbable after all.

Nowadays, almost every kitchen is sporting a water dispenser. Clean and safe drinking water has never been more important to the Filipino households.

The Merlin, a high capacity water purifier, is an innovation in home reverse osmosis in 30 years. Reverse osmosis is considered by the industry as among the best in water purification technology.

The Merlin is small and does not use a tank, which saves space, especially in condominiums and apartments. It uses a new, patented membrane element technology that provides flow rates up to five times greater than standard reverse osmosis membranes. It can produce more than 700 galloons per day. Its reverse osmosis point-of-use drinking water system separates impurities as microscopic as .0001 micron from clean water.

On the other hand, kitchen tools and appliances are a cook’s best friend. With all the lifestyle and cooking shows airing through cable and local channels, it is clear why homemakers and cooking aficionados crave not just for the delectable dishes they see on TV, but more so for the innovative tools and appliances that complete the kitchens.

The Monogram transforms this fantasy into reality as it leads you a step closer to your dream kitchen with its new induction cooktops, soon to be available in the Philippines. The sleek, shallow-depth configuration and flat plane of smooth ceramic glass integrates smoothly with any décor. The Monogram’s digital electronic features including its 3,700-watt, 11" element provides instantaneous heat across 19 different cooking settings, offer the precision needed to create culinary masterpieces.

Induction technology uses a high-frequency induction coil hidden beneath the cooktop’s smooth surface as it heats the metal cookware by a magnetic field. It only heats the area that comes in contact with the iron-content cookware and its timer, control-lock capability and hot-surface indicator ensure a more convenient and safer cooking experience. Glass touch controls make a breeze and hazard-free cleaning with the control lockout feature that helps guard against unintended activation.
