Prep your kitchen this holiday season

- By Din M. Villafuert­e @dinmveeINQ

Celebratin­g Christmas and the coming new year means numerous reunions with family and friends, and that means filling the dining table—and kitchen counters—with the tastiest dishes your cooking skills can muster.

You will need the right cooking tools and equipment as you play master chef in the weeks to come. But make sure to choose your tools well. Did you know that even cooking utensils have an effect on our health?

According to a study, the materials that our cooking implements are made of can pass onto the food being cooked. It is thus important to choose our cooking implements wisely. You can go for stainless steel, silicone, wood, bamboo or those with nonstick coatings. Avoid those made with lead.

Deeply scratched pans need retiring, too, so you will need to restock your kitchen with new cooking implements.

Wilcon Depot, the country’s one-stop shop for all your home needs, has a host of kitchen parapherna­lia that can be your trusty cooking assistants this nonstop party season. Swing by Wilcon and check out its wide selection of products from ladles, tongs, whisks to pots and pans.

Holding your Christmas gettogethe­r or New Year’s Eve party outdoors? No outdoor party is complete without freshly barbecued ribs, grilled chops, chicken and veggie skewers and corn on the cob among all the mouthwater­ing grub. You’ll need a grill that’s efficient and you can rely on to help you serve a delicious outdoor feast.

Wilcon offers its Bull Outdoor Products, a US-brand that has been creating top-of-theline products for over two decades. Made of high-grade stainless steel, Bull grilling equipment are known to last longer and are protected from discolorat­ion and rusting.
