I was in the supermarket thinking what to serve during Noche Buena. It was my second time to think of the menu for my family without Nanay since we moved out. Nakakastress pala! Stress na nga sa pila sa grocery, stress pa kakaisip ng lulutuin. Good thing I went to the frozen section and found the Purefoods Heat and Eat line. When I saw those two words: HEAT and EAT, I was sold!
The Purefoods Heat and Eat line comes in two variants: Lechon Kawali with a serving size of 425g per bag good for 3-4 persons and Crispy Pata at 900g per bag for 5-6 persons. This is perfect not only for the holidays but all year round. Before, I get to cook this when there’s a special occasion because it’s tedious and time-consuming. But not anymore, I’m gonna stock up on these in the freezer so whenever someone craves for Lechon Kawali or Crispy Pata or whenever there are guests, I can just put them in the turbo broiler or pan fry them.
I asked on Facebook what are my friends’ preferred method of cooking lechon kawali and crispy pata, and majority is by using a turbo broiler. So I’ll follow the majority haha…
Purefoods Heat and Eat Crispy Pata, Php 325
Honestly, the waiting time of 20 minutes is the difficult part, the kitchen smells so inviting plus you can see the pata’s skin popping as it cooks and becomes crispy.
OMG! The Crispy Pata came out really crispy and just like what they serve in the restaurants! I can’t believe I cook that :p
Let’s try the Lechon Kawali, same method using the turbo broiler, 250 C for 20-25 minutes.
Purefoods Heat and Eat Lechon Kawali, Php 230
I remember Nanay used to cook this during Media Noche and she will boil first the meat and then freeze it overnight. While everyone’s busy with the party outside, Nanay is in the kitchen cooking her Lechon Kawali. Now, I can also serve Lechon Kawali to my family in just 20 minutes because Purefoods Heat and Eat line is fully cooked, so convenient!
Everyone is reaching out for the cracklings.
The Lechon Kawali is good for 3-4 persons while the Crispy Pata is good for 5-6 persons.
You can get the new Purefoods Heat and Eat line in major supermarkets and Monterey meatshops. Follow Purefoods Heat and Eat on Facebook and Instagram for more details.
OMG bakit ngayon ko lang nakita to? Waaah! I want to buy pero kaka order ko lang sa Honest Bee. Di pwedeng humabol. 🙁
Meron na rin kaya nito sa Honest Bee May? May New Year pa naman 🙂
OMG Sana meron din ganito sa province namin, I mean dito sa Mindanao. my kids love crispy pata so much and mahal na nya sobra sa mga restaurants! uhuhu sana umabot dito!
Sobrang dali! Sana nga magkaron na dyan, promise your kids will love this.
I saw these at SM Supermarket and was really tempted to buy a pack or two. And then I remembered I have pre-hypertension huhuhu! Lalo lang ako natakam dahil sa pictures mo wahaha!
I’ll check these out in the supermarket! Sana meron na sa Davao. I made barbecue baked ribs last NYE, and while it wasn’t time-consuming, this would have been a lot easier. Will certainly try these!
Wow! Thank you for sharing! I believe this is really good to serve on those special occasions such as birthdays, parties, etc. Nice idea! 🙂
Ay gusto ko to :)) I’m wary of cooking crispy pata and lechon kawala and leave it to our helper instead. LOL. Masubukan nga 🙂
Wow! That HEAT & EAT! benta sating mga nanay yan. Sayang di ko nakita agad to, perfect for the holiday season. Nagutom ako sa crispy pata at lechon.
Great idea by Purefoods to have these Filipino favorites ready for cooking! I’ll have this tried soon!
I love the commitment Purefoods. They truly make mom’s job a lot easier. I love that they have this kind of putahe na. Makes cooking a lot of fun and easier.
Napa wow ako dyan sis! Never thought these two can be prepared at home without a fuss. They look crispy and delicious! Will definitely try these kapag may handaan dito sa bahay. Thanks for sharing!
Honestly, napa-wow din ako sis. I’ve managed my expectation when I first tried it kasi nga frozen tapos irereheat, pero mapapa-wow ka sa sarap 🙂
Easier to the nth level Momi Berlin. Imagine, crispy pata and lechon kawali in 20 minutes!
