00:00 Now that food content is spreading on social media,
00:04 our netizens are showing their cooking skills.
00:09 I also saw the grapes.
00:12 But behind the cooking and mukbang,
00:14 how can we make our food look fresh and the remaining ingredients?
00:19 Mommy/Nurse Lovely really loves to cook.
00:28 Growing up with a chef dad,
00:31 that's what I got from him.
00:34 And the love for cooking.
00:36 And now, as a mom, I'm going to apply that to my family,
00:40 to my kids, I'm going to cook for them.
00:42 Aside from being a chef of the family,
00:45 Mommy/Nurse Lovely also advocates her being a content creator.
00:49 Because as a mom, everyday our biggest struggle is to think of what to cook.
00:55 So why not, I'll just video what I'm thinking,
00:58 and share it online,
01:01 and share it on my social media accounts,
01:03 so that other mommies won't have to think of what to cook.
01:07 But what many don't know,
01:09 this is Mommy/Nurse Lovely,
01:11 she's meticulous when it comes to cooking.
01:14 I thought, how can I make my veggies last longer,
01:19 since I don't go to the market everyday,
01:21 because I'm also a working mom.
01:23 So I thought of copying what's in the supermarket.
01:26 And I discovered that,
01:27 2-3 weeks to 1 month,
01:29 my veggies won't rot in the fridge.
01:31 She's making sure that her veggies are fresh and safe to eat.
01:37 After I go to the market,
01:39 I put my veggies in a basket,
01:42 and then after that, I'll wash them first.
01:45 So we'll just dry them here.
01:47 So this cabbage, before I wrap it with cling wrap,
01:50 the first thing that gets spoiled is this part.
01:53 So it gets rolled first.
01:54 So what I do is,
01:55 I put a paper towel first.
01:59 So once it's there,
02:01 I'll wrap it with cling wrap.
02:03 Mommy/Nurse Lovely has a tip on how to save money
02:13 on the things that don't have cling wrap at home.
02:15 For those who don't like cling wrap,
02:17 our brown bag is also fine.
02:19 We can reuse it.
02:21 We can also help Mother Nature.
02:23 We can put our veggies here,
02:26 like this lettuce.
02:28 So this, because it's a brown bag,
02:31 it's a paper,
02:32 the moisture inside will absorb it.
02:35 Aside from veggies and other ingredients,
02:38 it's also important to pack rice properly.
02:41 So for the rice, after I go to the market,
02:45 I'll soak it.
02:46 I put it in containers like this.
02:48 You can color-code it.
02:50 For example, this can be fish,
02:52 this can be beef or pork,
02:54 and this can be chicken.
02:56 For our fruits at home,
02:59 Mommy/Nurse Lovely also has a tip.
03:01 I'll just get a bowl with water,
03:04 and I'll just add a little vinegar.
03:07 You can now soak the grapes.
03:09 After 10 minutes of soaking,
03:13 we'll really see the dirt on the ground.
03:16 I won't compromise the health of my family.
03:19 So it's very important to me that it's clean.
03:22 And I don't want to have food poisoning events
03:25 here in our house, in our household.
03:27 Will Mommy/Nurse Lovely's tips be approved by an expert?
03:32 It can help in some ways
03:34 because we can separate these from the exposure to microbes.
03:39 By cling wrapping,
03:41 we can avoid damaging the skin,
03:44 and the same goes for paper bags.
03:47 Because of this, food will last longer.
03:52 According to June Barnes,
03:54 a microbiologist and food safety expert,
03:57 there are pathogens or microbes in food that we don't see.
04:01 They say that the quality of a food
04:05 can reach 10 to the 4th to 10 to the 5th,
04:09 or 10,000 to 100,000 grams.
04:13 But it can also increase
04:15 if the food we buy is not in the right condition.
04:21 So it's very important
04:23 to stop the accumulation of these microbes.
04:26 But how do we know if a food can't be eaten?
04:31 Our senses are good at judging.
04:35 If we smell that it's not okay,
04:38 we shouldn't eat it.
04:40 We can also look at its physical attributes.
04:43 If we see that it's already rotten,
04:46 it's a sign of the product's spoilage.
04:49 When in doubt, throw it out.
04:51 From breakfast to dinner,
04:54 we should make sure that our food is clean.
04:58 It should not be over-flavored.
05:01 Because food safety is the secret ingredient to always be healthy.
