Wow, looks so good! But I'll be wary to use plastic (cling wrap?) when heating food, moreso when cooking. The chemical in plastic called BPA (bisphenol A) is believed to be carcinogenic. I threw away all my plastic containers a long time ago and now use glass dishes or stainless steel containers and enameled cookwares (le creuset) ESP when heat is involved. I also replaced my plastic rice spoon with wooden one. I stopped buying bottled water and now use refillable stainless steel water bottle. When buying food TO GO we bring our own container to avoid styrofoam containers which usually melt when in contact
ReplyDeletewith hot food. Just thought I'd share that. :-)
Hi Betsie! Naku, you are right... next time I will use the glass lid when I'm steaming. I still use cling wrap but only to cover food to be stored in the fridge or when transporting. I know it's bad to heat or microwave plasticware. Do you remember in college we used to eat the sizzling bangus in Landmark.. and I can't remember who didn't eat the fat, you or Mariger?
ReplyDeleteI have always loved the bangus fat/belly. That's the best part! Now I'm craving some sizzling bangus belly. maybe I'll go to a Filipino point-point joint and get me some. :-). I'm too lazy to cook that. Too much prep and it stinks. :-)
