1. Load Up On Gaba Rice


MORE THAN JUST A RICE COOKER
Want to whip up healthy meals like the Koreans? Look to Korea’s homegrown appliance brand Cuckoo’s high-tech and innovative range of pressure multi-cookers. Each model is equipped with smart technologies that can adjust power and pressure for over 300 recipes, not just plain rice. And pressure cooking helps cut cooking time and energy use by up to 70 per cent. High pressure and heat also retain the minerals and flavours better and ensure that food is cooked more evenly.

3. Portion Your Meals Right

4. Cook More Soups And Stews

5. Hydrate Well, And Often

Singer, actor and Cuckoo ambassador Lee Seung-gi of A Korean Odyssey fame shares his secret to staying healthy:



Keep your family healthy and well-hydrated with refreshingly clean and clear water from Cuckoo’s advanced and stylish water purifiers. They contain a state-of-the-art filtration system with patented filters like the Nano Positive Filter (which helps remove traces of bacteria and heavy metals such as lead and arsenic) and the Natural Plus Filter (to sieve out impurities and maintain water at a mildalkaline level). Further more, they’re designed to blend beautifully into your home.
