Tips

You can quickly cool the Venus rice, after seasoning it with vegetables with the function of chilling Freddy. This way you can keep the dish in the refrigerator for a whole week, fresh as just done.
You can also decide to freeze boiled rice, using the shock freezing function, and then store it in the freezer for up to 8 months. In this way you will always have cooked Venus rice, ready to be prepared in a few minutes with the dressing you prefer. All you have to do is pour the desired amount into the pan, add 1 glass of water and regenerate over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes.
If you have not found the tuna already felled, you can use Freddy’s shock freezing feature to sanitize it and be sure to eat the tartare in complete safety. You can decide to cut the tuna into cubes or leave the whole slice, freeze it and store it in the freezer for at least 24 hours. You can prepare a large amount of tartare so you can always have it available, even for lunch or last minute dinners. Raw fish can be stored in the freezer for a maximum of 3-4 months.
