Millions of families across the country will be looking forward to enjoying pancakes today, Shrove Tuesday.

Whirlpool the leading kitchen appliance manufacturer, offers the following tips to help you create perfect pancakes to indulge your family in this great British tradition.

• Chill and set your batter – It is important to let your batter ‘rest’ for 30 minutes, enabling the starches in the mixture to soften and expand in the liquid, forming a lighter pancake.
• The batter will be best, and most hygienically rested in a Microban antibacterial filtered fridge such as Whirlpool’s ARC 6706, while at the same time cooling the mixture to below room temperature, helping to create a perfectly sealed pancake in the hot pan.
• Perfect pan temperature – Use the precise technology of an induction hob with touch control, like the Whirlpool AKM995, to get your pan piping hot, then tip the batter around the pan to get the base evenly coated; it should only take half a minute or so to cook, so check by lifting  the edge with a palette knife to ensure it’s a tempting golden colour.
• Saving the left overs – If you have batter leftover, make up pancakes with it and save them for another day.  Just stack the cooked pancakes between greaseproof paper, place in an air-tight container and store in the fridge of your Whirlpool ARC7550 fridge freezer for up to three days, or in the freezer for up to two months.
• Enjoy!

Every year, more than 5 million people suffer a food-related illness, often caused by not storing or cooking food properly. The problem can be particularly bad in the summer months when warm temperatures allow bacteria to flourish.

To help keep your food free of harmful bacteria, Whirlpool and Microban have developed an anti-bacterial filtration system, for Whirlpool’s latest range of fridge-freezers. These fridge-freezers feature a high-tech filter, which removes airborne contaminants, bacteria and mould from the air inside the fridge.

The new range also features the only side by side fridge freezer with an A+ energy rating and an in-door ice making system - so you can be fully equipped for hot summer days - with ice-cold drinks, and a fridge full of fresh food.

Whirlpool have created an innovative new product which will “refresh” your tired clothes without sending them to dry cleaners.

It is called the Pret-a-Porter and is very portable, as when closed it is about the same size as a small suitcase and weighs only 10.5 kilos.

It’s very easy to use - hang your clothes on the hangers supplied, fill the small container with the right amount of water, zip up, and press the button.
The Pret-a-Porter detects the amount of water and automatically adapts the length of its cycle to the textile option chosen.

This is a portable solution allowing you to always have fresh, de-odorised, de-wrinkled and sanitised garments at the touch of a button.
