Easter is approaching and it is associated with a few days off, which we spent in recent years visiting a close and distant family, feasting together and celebrating the most important Christian holiday of the year. However, this year is special - visiting the family is not recommended, we should rather stay at home (in the city, in the village, or in a cabin or cottage in the middle of spring nature). Wherever we spend this time, we have to cook. Here are some tips from Orava's food and kitchen helpers to help you cook, fry and grill your Easter.
Eggs prepared in many ways
The Easter table inherently includes eggs. This white-yellow round miracle of nature is a symbol of new life, birth and without it we cannot imagine Easter. Not only in the form of blown, beautifully decorated Easter eggs, which girls and women give to the guys , but also as a very tasty meal - from omelettes to scrambled eggs (excellent even with chopped young sting nettle and bear garlic) to a soft-boiled egg or hard egg. And in just last named food modification that we are often "soft" and egg is hard-boiled- sometimes it is very difficult to estimate when the eggs are done just right to our demand . Often it happens that we want boiled eggs so badly but until we cool them down in cold water and peel them, they are hard and instead of a glass and teaspoons for eating them swe can just prepare an egg slicer and sliced on wheels to put them on bread. However, such a culinary “faux-pas” is not going to happen if you invite a wise egg - a signaling device for boiled eggs Orava Piep Ei - to prepare them. You put it in the water together with normal eggs, and since it works on the basis of a temperature model, a wise egg will certainly not be mistaken. One of the three preset melodies reminds you when the eggs are already cooked as you wish. According to the song that will glow from your pan with boiling water, you will know when to pull the egg out of the hot water. Eggs taste great as an egg spread on home-baked bread, even stuffed with - egg stuffing, with avocado or cheddar cheese and bacon
Scrambled eggs, fried egg and omelettes - how to avoid from burning them.
Fried egg or omelettes in many variations according to added ingredients are also popular egg meal. Not to mention the fried egg, which both children and adults love for breakfast, or simply "placed" on top of any boiled pea, lentil or spinach. In this way of making eggs it is really important to have the right cooking helpers - suitable pans. Because nothing is worse than cleaning the scorched egg remains from the surface of an inappropriately chosen pan after cooking. Based on our good experience, we recommend using baking and frying (not only) eggs that are extremely heat-conducting, do not release toxic substances from their surfaces at high temperatures, are resistant to damage and have a highly non-stick surface, so even at high temperatures. Orava PAN-20 FM stoneware pan fits perfectly in your hand, it is easy to handle, on it you adjust raw materials without changing the taste and toxic substances and even such an egg does not bake. After cooking it is usually enough to wipe it with a kitchen towel. If after a Lent period you suddenly get the taste for a good portion of meat in the form of a juicy baked steak, it will e great to get Orava PAN-24 FMG. You can enjoy the meat feast even without setting up your garden grill. A wide range of quality pans for cooking, frying and grilling made of various materials, including those made of stoneware, can be found here.
Soups are important basic meal - or how to always have easely cooked at home
The fact that soups are grunt has been taught by our moms and grandmothers - and they were right. Soup fill us up perfectly, exists in various variations - from classic broth to vegetable soups to regional specialties such as macanka and borsch. We are especially happy to enjoy spinach, vegetable, egg soup, but we are also eager to jump over fresh young nettle and bear garlic with an embedded egg. With a handy helper, you can have a freshly cooked soup at home every day - and it costs you almost no time and effort. We recommend the Orava RMH-900 multifunctional blender, where you can put all the ingredients you need, and the finished soup will keep you warm at exactly the time you want. The mixer has up to 8 preset programs (including cooking soup with pieces or fine creamy soup) and can cut, cook, mix, mix and keep food warm. While this clever helper cooks a good soup, you can work, learn with kids, tidy up before Easter, or just relax in front of TV or with a book in your hand. The blender has a powerful engine at up to 17,000 rpm, so besides preparing tasty soup, it also serves to cook sirloin cauce and other sauces, baby foods, fruit purees, smoothies and, thanks to its ability to crush ice, to prepare refreshing cocktails and mixed drinks.
Don't forget the egg liqueur!
With the handy Orava RM-206 hand blender you can also prepare a fine homemade egg liqueur, from which you can sip a little during Easter to celebrate spring and another successful day in home quarantine! You will need: 6 egg yolks, 6 PL powdered sugar, 1 condensed milk and 500 ml of rum / vodka. How to do it? First mix / whisk the egg yolks with powder sugar into the skim form until their volume has doubled. Then add condensed milk and mix / whisk again, gradually adding alcohol. Pour the finished egg liqueur into bottles and serve (chilled) well chilled!
Fast cooking, baking and roasting - both in the cabin and in the cottage
If you decide to spend quarantine for a long time in a cottage surrounded by Slovak meadows and forests to enjoy the beauty of the life-awakening nature while avoiding contact with a large number of people, you will appreciate a handy helper who can cook, bake and fry - although it is the only electrical appliance. The Orava EC-321 and Orava EC-391 double cooker ovens are extremely powerful in cooking and have a wide field of activity, taking up little space on the kitchen. Thanks to their compact dimensions, they will be useful for preparing gastro hits even in smaller kitchens - if your s not big enough for space - or in the so-called. secondary kitchens - in the cabin, cottage, garden. Electric ovens with built-in double cookers will help you with classic cooking, baking, roasting and grilling as the appliance (eg Orava EC-391) also includes a grill rack and drip tray. You can use both zones at the same time - both cooking hobs and oven. This allows you to cook giant portions for the whole family, even in more provisional conditions in the womb of blooming spring nature, although the dimensions of your new helper are more dwarfish.
