Category:Special Equipment for Filipino Cooking

From Recipes Wiki, the recipe book anyone can contribute to!

Most people having Philippines dishes for lunch or dinner will use their hand instead of cutlery, grabbing chunks of cooked rice and dipping it in special sauces and then in their mouth. However, when you plan on cooking in a Filipino manner, you will be in need of a lot of pots and serving spoons, spatulas, forks, turners, scrapers and tongs. Also, a saucer-shaped granite grinding stone, together with a granite pestle is used in preparing special condiments needed for the recipes. A variety of dishes and specific traditional meals are usually served buffet-style and displayed in palayoks-- clay pots the shape of small cauldrons. Borrowed from the Chinese culture, a woven bamboo steamer is always good to have in preparing many Filipino dishes. When frying ingredients in deep oil, a wok is very ideal for this preparation, since it requires less oil then a conventional deep fryer. A frying shovel or spatula is required when you use the wok for deep-frying, so make sure you have them available as well.
