    Yep. Started baking recently...pumpkin muffins! :) I'm going to try carrot cake and pineapple tarts one fine day 'cos I like them...procrastinating 'cos the recipes look like a lot of work! Need to grate lah. :deal: Hehee...maybe if they're good, you can come to try.

    I considered the countertop all-in-1 oven - the Panasonic one (I think), a friend's sister bought and said it's good. But, in the end, we got the convectional one instead 'cos we already have a microwave oven from our old place and cannot afford anymore countertop space.

    ohh yessa, me luv pumpkin muffins - such natural sweetness! times when im 'cheesy', i'll do chives-&-cheese muffins, but tis a saltish muffin instead of sweet muffins.

    btw, even tho we may be buying a countertop-oven, we have in fact designed a cabinet space for it so that it doesnt sit on the countertop (me dun like things 'sittig around' hehe).... space may not be our problem, but WE JUZ PREFER all-in-one equipments, thats all :dunno:

    Hi Rummi,

    Yah, me SK also. But not moving in yet. For me, since I am used to turntable ones its ok. Tho I know the non-turn ones have much more useable space. Besides, no major cooking. Just prefer to have the grill function available.

    Do u know how much it is? I am quite sure the 3 in 1 will be more than 1k. !!

    Thanks. :bangwall:

    hi wtg54, have u 'checked-in' to renotalk.com already ?? :unsure:

    btw, im no expert in cooking. mayb its my lack of skill or whatever other reasons, i find that ovens that do not hit 300degrees-celsius are no good for browning grilled food... i mean, some people dun mind grilling food without the final browning, so they probably suffice with ovens hitting maximum 250degrees-celsius. so its ur style that will determine your choice of oven.

    if u take some time to look into the panasonic website, they do specify the temperature range.

    im not in singapore right now, cant tell u exactly how much (my)3-in-1 cost now, or how much (your)2-in-1 cost... why not u go find out the price tag for both models and share with us la :yamseng:

    Hi Rummi, how's your reno. going?

    Some people believe that microwaving food kills nutrients. Research is inconclusive. Steaming is believed to retain the most nutrients in food. The only problem with a countertop unit is simply that - it occupies precious countertop space and in most small kitchens you would want as little on the countertop as possible so that you have space to prepare food. And all in one unit seems like a good idea if you are getting a countertop microwave anyway. But, is the baking function as good as a normal convection oven? Not sure about that. Just my two cents' worth. !!

    hi homeowner, missed u! how's u enjoying your new house?

    my reno remains the same as we had stepped out on our honeymoon 6-mths ago. but, honeymoon ending soon, will be coming back to pick up the remaining work. come grab me for coffee when u r free :yamseng:

    all these while i had been baking on conventional oven. personally never tried the new option before, though the general reviews tat i got from bakers is that they serve the purpose just as good (they said: not better, no worst either).

    Hi All,

    Any recommendation for a 2 in 1? So far only Sharp or Panasonic ones are good right? Not so concerned about the size, but would definitely consider if it is on the cheaper range.

    Thanks. :dunno:

    hi wtg54, hey u sengkang oso :bangwall:

    if i had chosen a 2-in-1 (ie. microwave-cum-convection, without steam), this is the Panasonic model tat i will buy NN-C2003SYPQ its BIG - 42litres... only thing that i do prefer NON-turntables. mayb u dun mind.

    tink its half the price of 3-in-1.

    Enough had been discussed about built-in ovens, thought i'll start a topic on the less covered countertop ovens. some of us chose/choosing countertop oven for various reasons. let's share our choices & reviews here la :P

    This is the PANASONIC multifunctional countertop oven that we'll be using : Model NN-CS-596AYPQ .

    it's steam cum convection (bake & grill) cum microwave. we are fascinated with having all-in-one-machines, especially sleek-lookng things ;)

    eyeing on this AG1150F too, WHAT? $460 ONLY?

    think I better give HongLiang a call liaoz......

    btw, is it made in china?

    hi folks, why do u choose ES-AG1150 instead of ES-AG750 ??? is it cos the price difference is alot?

    ...afterall ES-AG750 is also around 7kg, but water consumption seems almost half of the other, according to their specification.

    Hi rummi,

    The curtain that you're referring to is also known as lace curtain fabric. Lace curtains can be thick and crocheted or delicate and light.

    You can try browsing at Spotlight, at Joo Chiat Complex, Arab Street or even Textile Centre at Key Point.

    Cheers!

    oh, so this is a pretty common curtain fabric... didnt know tat:p

    thanks gendon!

    Oh.... haha... no not stiff as platform lah. It is considered in the firm category (By Ikea standards), but to me it is average firmness. There is sufficient support cos of the latex, but it is also quite cozy cos of the spring.

    If you want platform then you should get Seahorse brand. That is VERY good for super firm mattress. Cheap too!

    me guess, u bought this one, http://ikea.com.sg/products/product_display.asp?id=2860 ??

    thought of seahorse before, but thy dun do king-sizes:p

    I did! Bought the most expensive one, if I remember correctly... abt $500 for a queen size (still cheap!). It is a combi of latex and spring. I think it's 10 yr warranty.

    I have been sleeping on it for 2 years... Quite comfy... the shape/form of the mattress still ok... considering I've only rotated it once. It's good if you are on a budget and don't care for fancy brands.

    smart :D

    is your IKEA mattress 'stiff as platform'? cos this is a pre-requisit for my mattress. some says i may as well sleep on the floor. hehe

    coz i did a search for switches in singapore

    and this is one of the brands that came up

    looks as good as the clipsal ones, just dun know works as good or not

    well, looks like this sat will be switch-hunting day for me !!

    oh, btw, tink i ought to mention tis. legrand also has a range of 'everyday' switches, which is priced at (u got it;) 'everyday' 'everyone's price. so no need to break the budget just to buy clipsal.

    the expensive ones are designer range such as metallic finishes, flourocarbon coated casing, etc...

    happy shopping!

    i'm hoping to find a shop that stocks the different brands

    so that i can compare the feel and ease-of-use

    i'm a rather touchy-feely person, i buy things based on how it feels with my hands (and body sometimes)...

    anyone heard of Jung? apparently can only find in their showroom but office hours so guess i'll have to give it a miss !!

    err, nvr seen jung.

    hahaha, let me shamelessly direct you to my t-blog chat

    the second link in my signature

    pg 6 you can see my babies

    pg 7 there's a link to see scoria76's darlings

    think you can see lin_staplers darlings here

    and yes i totally agree that i'm very lucky to have both !!

    am looking around for such switches, just dun know which brand to go for

    clipsal? legrand? jung? MK? !!

    any idea where i can find all these under one roof???

    meow, 3 kitties !! they r beautiful.

    as to the switches, i saw some electrical shops & hardware shops carrying them in loose pieces. MK is especially common. once in a while they have clipsal too... though i've never seen legrand in the shop.

    comparing the brands... hmm... lets say clipsal & legrand are the UK & French version of each other in the same market. whereas MK is the cheaper 'copycat' version of the more expensive brands.

    if u are really interested in LEGRAND, may have to ask your electrician to go get from shops that supply to construction projects.

    hope these helps;)

    for me it's more of a convenient thingy

    coz my parents are not so young

    the hdb switches may prove to be a 'challenge' to them

    see, i have to cat- & elderly-proof my home :P

    hmm, in fact, the MK-brand also have those big button switches - AT HALF THE PRICE TAG :lol:

    u r lucky woman to have both the parents & the pet.

    do u hv ur kitty foto to show?

    no problem, just fire away if you have any other queries e.g. which vet to go to, what food we feed our babies etc :P

    btw, how's the legrand switches?

    looking at changing my switches now :lol:

    HEY, u r an SK EA too;)

    the legrand switches are beautiful- saw & played with them before i left spore in april... in fact, im still in new zealand right now. even though th eelctrician has not billed me yet, the price tag will be hefty.

    unless u have exposed switches in prominent locations, these may be considered luxury items= not a necessity:p

    are you from hdb? :dunno:

    yes i do keep cats in my hdb flat

    as it is, hdb's stand is rather relaxed on this

    as long as no one complains, they are unlikely to take any actions

    im IN , NOT FROM. hehe

    so tat means no problem owning a cat then. yeah yeah

    do they need a license too (like dogs)? if so, any trouble getting one with HDB address?

    u on any pet's forum or group?

    meow. MEOW :jawdrop:

    ohh, do u kitten-proof your house? is it necessary at all?
