With the arrival of the Christmas holidays and the end and beginning of the year celebrations, it is common for salvadoran families to get together to share the good times of the year and taste the most traditional dishes of the season such as stuffed turkey, pork leg, pork loin, tamales and the dessert of your choice.
Dinner with family or friends should be an unforgettable experience for the host and his guests, so the better the planning for food preparation, the more quality time you will have to share with your loved ones the tasting of delicious dishes. Mabe, leader in home appliances, shares a series of important tips to make the dinner a resounding success and remain in the memory of all guests:
- Confirm your guest list and prepare the number of places at the table. Knowing this information in advance will guide you in preparing the number of dishes for the guests and the number of plates, silverware and glassware you will need.
- Take care of the details. Have just enough on the main table and accompany it with seasonal floral decorations or candles. If necessary, use a side table for those complements such as: sauces, water bottles, extra silverware.
- Create the perfect ambiance. Liven up the dinner and delight your guests with instrumental Christmas or classical music, wax candles and soft seasonal scents such as cypress or apple-cinnamon. Avoid loud music at the exact moment of the dinner.
- Organization. Make a schedule of activities so that everything goes according to plan. Delegate tasks to family and friends to make the preparation more fun and less stressful.
When it comes to food preparation, the kitchen has to be your main ally, so that each dish is delicious and reflects the spirit of the holiday season and the New Year.
- Make a list of ingredients. Prepare days before, a list of all the ingredients you will need and do the shopping ahead of time so that, when you start cooking the food, you will have at hand what you will need.
- Each dish has different preparation processes prior to cooking, such as defrosting or marinating, so it is recommended to cook well in advance to avoid delays on the day of the dinner.
- Offer healthy, varied options and avoid foods containing allergens, so it is important to know in advance if there are people with food restrictions and allergies to nuts, shellfish, gluten or dairy, for example.
- Take care of the temperature of each dish: when preparing sauces and side dishes, you must ensure that the temperature and cooking time are correct, so that they are just right when it is time to serve them. Mabe stoves, through the Fast Cook burner, heat your preparations 30% faster, without consuming more gas than normal, besides having jumbo disks for better heat distribution in large pots and pans.
- Take advantage of the appliances’ multiple functions. The specialized cooking modes of Mabe’s multi-function ovens allow you to defrost a pork shank, grill some vegetables or roast some stuffed apples, ensuring that each dish is cooked to the desired texture and flavor.
“The incorporation of specialized technologies in MABE stoves and ovens makes us the perfect allies to simplify the preparation of Christmas or New Year’s Eve dinner dishes, achieving the perfect cooking point for each one of them”, said Anna Ceja, Regional Cooking manager.
Mabe, a leader in reliable home appliances, continues to innovate to remain the ideal partner for those seeking quality and efficiency in the kitchen. With the new technologies applied in cooking equipment, and following these tips, every dish will be an unforgettable gastronomic experience.
