As the Autumn and Winter months draw in, it’s time to bring back your favourite, warming comfort foods. Whether you like to slow cook, bake, or batch cook, winter cooking certainly demands a lot of your kitchen. Storing, reheating, and cooking up different components of a dish require you to lean on all corners of your kitchen and its many appliances.
Thankfully, the Bosch MDA range has all of the functionalities to make your batch cooking and winter favourites super easy. So, let’s get into it.
Warming evening meals
A big casserole pot simmering away on the hob, filling the house with comforting smells of nostalgia might take you back to your childhood, or fill you with warmth at the thought of nourishing your family with a delicious and nutritious meal. But whether you love a hearty beef stew or a vegan take on the English classic with lentils or sweet potatoes, the flex induction hob might be just the winner for creating your best one yet. Allowing you to combine cooking zones, it’s perfect if you’re making a large pot of stew or heating a large tray of shepherd’s pie.
Bosch hobs also enable you to move your pot from one cooking zone to another, where the new cooking zone will adopt the previous zone’s temperature - great if you have more than one thing on the go.
Or how about soup and some home-baked bread? Soups are so versatile and can help make your leftovers go even further. With room to be creative, add pastas, beans or shredded meat to make your soups a little heartier and more filling. Bosch’s ErgoMaster hand blender also comes with vacuum storage boxes perfect for organising your portions for later.
Comforting Desserts
There’s something about winter desserts - a hot, steaming bowl of apple pie with custard, or warm sticky toffee pudding fresh from the oven - they’re just the ultimate comfort food! Using your Bosch hob make your warm toffee sauce or custard while the pudding warms through in the oven. The intelligent induction hob means no burnt sauce or custard on the bottom of your pans, and multitasking becomes a breeze! Perfect if you’re entertaining over the festive months.
Batch Cooking
During the summer months, it’s easy to whip up a quick salad or a light meal on those days you don’t feel like cooking. But come winter, as the nights draw in, you’ll always be thankful for some deliciously warming and hearty meals prepped ahead ready to be warmed up when you’re cold, tired, and hungry.
Batch cooking, we believe, is a winter essential - and it makes total sense. When making warming dishes such as casseroles, soups or stews, there’s always more than enough for a few leftover portions to be frozen.
Bosch fridge freezers offer the perfect combination of storage, including the Big Box which is great for storing batch-cooked meals. It includes an extra-deep frozen food drawer to easily stack containers of frozen foods or large frozen items like gateaux or pizzas. So whether you’re hosting for Christmas or throwing festive parties, the room is there to neatly and conveniently store all of your prepped meals and frozen goods.
No Frost also stops excess frost from building, so you’ll never have to de-ice – not how you want to spend the wind down after Christmas!
Make sure your kitchen is ready to take on the extra load of winter cooking, while doing enough to make the cooking enjoyable and easy for you. Browse Bosch’s full range of kitchen appliances and accessories.
