Rinse
Give your rice a good rinse before cooking, it will cook up separately and scrumptious.

No butter or salt
Adding seasoning to rice while cooking can ruin its natural flavour. Rather let the natural aroma of Spekko rice invigorate your senses.

Check the date
Older rice loses its moisture and needs to be cooked in more water than fresh rice.

Pre-soak for faster cooking
Besides speeding up the cooking, this gives the rice a softer, fluffier texture.

Save your leftover cooked rice
Cool down and refrigerate your leftover rice. It’s great for making fried rice dishes.

Experiment using scented rice
For some variety, try some of our scented varieties such as Jasmine or Basmati. They will inspire your senses and introduce your family to new experiences.

Peeling boiled eggs: Make a small hole in an egg by piercing with a
pin before boiling. This will allow you to remove its shell very easily.

Separating eggs: When separating eggs, break them into a funnel. The whites will go through leaving the yolk intact in the funnel.

Removing eggshells from batter: Use the remaining eggshell to remove bits of shell that have fallen into the mixture.

Perfectly boiled eggs: Add some vinegar or a little salt to the boiling water. It will keep the egg in the shell if it cracks.

Keep grinder blades sharp: Grind some ordinary salt in your mixer/grinder to keep your mixer blades sharp.

Save energy, peek through the window: The oven temperature drops by 25 degrees every time its door is opened, so rather check the progress of your food through the oven window.

Fast baking potatoes: Place potatoes in salt water for 15 minutes before baking them. This will reduce the baking time.

Remove odours and grease from containers: Add a pinch of baking soda to the water when you clean containers. This removes all odors and cuts grease.
