Bring your kitchen to life this winter with IKEA
With winter just around the corner, many of our minds and stomachs will be drawn to heartwarming and wholesome dishes to help us through the cooler months. Staying cosy indoors is a brilliant opportunity to experiment in the kitchen, improve our culinary skills and whip up delicious meals that warm both the body and soul.
Whether you’re looking to master some new recipes or have some fun with the little ones, IKEA has a range of affordable products to enhance the cooking and baking experience.
Matthew Walton, Kitchen Business Leader, IKEA UK and Ireland says:
“Winter is a wonderful time to get creative in the kitchen. Whether you’re a complete novice or an experienced chef, it doesn’t need to be an expensive affair. Simple upgrades with affordable and durable cookware and utensils is a great investment that will last for many years to come. The OMTÄNKSAM stainless steel mixing bowl for example is a fantastic kitchen staple. It comes with a silicone lid which you can use as a stand, providing stability as you whisk its contents. The KLOCKREN colander is another kitchen essential. It’s super versatile as it can be used as both a steamer insert and a pasta insert, and because it’s collapsible, it’s easy to store away when not in use. It’s also dishwasher safe, meaning you have less of the washing up to worry about once you’ve eaten up your hearty meal.”
“On weekends when we have a little more time to spend preparing our evening meals, there’s nothing better than returning home from a crisp walk and cooking up a hearty, nutritious stew for you and your family to enjoy. Throw a range of your favourite veggies and meat or pulses into the VARDAGEN enamelled steel pot, and leave them to simmer on the hob while you curl up on the sofa for a few hours. Not only will you have a delicious meal to enjoy, but you’ll have plenty of leftovers for quick and easy meals throughout the week.”
“In the cold winter months, baking a batch of muffins or cupcakes is perfect for filling your home with the delicious, warming aroma of baked goods. For the bakers in the family, a trusty spatula is a must have. Easily scrape all the batter from the mixing bowl with the silicone VINTER 2020 spatula. It comes in a set of two sizes, with the non-stick material being perfect for lifting, flipping and spreading. Pop your mixture in the paper VINTER 2020 baking cups with their gingerbread pattern adding an extra decorative and festive touch.”
“Lastly, get the kids involved in the baking, teaching them new skills and creating wonderful memories together. Make them feel like a true budding chef with the VINTER 2020 children's hat. With its elasticated material, it’s perfect for children of all ages, and can help them to truly get into character. The BAKTRADITION baking kit is also an easy way to get your kids experimenting in the kitchen. Watching a messy mix turn into cakes and cookies delights children of all ages, and it’ll bring a smile to your face too. Including a rolling pin, baking mat, pie dish and cooling rack, you’ll have everything you need to create an array of scrumptious baked goods again and again.”
