TEFAL

When it comes to holiday baking, let fun and creativity reign with the French cookware brand's Cake Factory Delices.

Thanks to its five intelligent programmes that can bake anything from brownie and muffin to meringue and custard mousse, it gives you perfect home-baked treats every time without the guesswork that sometimes comes with oven baking.

It also automatically adjusts the cooking time and temperature, and allows switching to manual mode for bakers looking for complete control.

Sporting easy-to-use controls and cool-touch handles that prevent burns while the appliance is hot, it is ideal for baking with kids.

The manual mode is great for melting chocolate too, so the little ones will not need to go near a hot stove.

Tefal's Cake Factory Delices ($299, usual price $399) is now available at Harvey Norman, Gain City, Courts, Best Denki, Metro, Takashimaya, Tangs, Qoo10, Amazon, Lazada and Shopee.

MEAT ZERO

The new plant-based meat range from local food manufacturer CP Foods Singapore - in partnership with Japan's Fuji Oil - comprises four variants (Bologna Ham, Chilli Bologna Ham, Nugget and Patty) and two ready meals (Meat And Basil With Rice and Spaghetti Bolognese).

Thanks to its Plant-Tec innovation for future products, the high-moisture meat analogue process is used to texturise vegetable proteins into a product with a fibrous texture akin to animal meat.

The appearance, mouthfeel and texture of the products are similar to those of real meat and are of equal nutritional value.

High-fibre, non-GMO (genetically modified organism) soya - which keeps cholesterol levels in check - as well as pea, wheat and corn are the key ingredients.

Meat Zero ($3.35 to $4.55) is now available at FairPrice, FairPrice Online, Cold Storage, RedMart, Amazon, Caltex, SPC and Sinopac.
