Meals are a constant struggle for me as a working mom. However, after finding two really great companies, mealtime has become a little less stressful. I’ve found out that the perfect meal starts with Meater PLUS and Fillo’s.
Meater PLUS
Apption LABS is a start up focused on smart products. They want to develop solutions for lifestyle problems, designed for everyday use. Headquartered in the United Kingdom with an offices in Taiwan and Los Angeles, Apption Labs is a global company.
Features of the Meater PLUS
Meat thermometers are an essential item in kitchens today. With the way food and cooking has become popular lately, the Meater PLUS should be in every home. A few of the many features of the Meater PLUS include:
- Built-In Bluetooth repeater in the charger extends the wireless range up to 165 feet.
- 100% Wire-Free: Only a small triple A batter will last up to 100 uses.
- Easy to Use App available wherever you get your apps.
- Dual Sensors measures both the internal temperature and the temperature close to the food.
There are many more features and you can see them all HERE.
Meat temperature is important because if the temperature is too low, the harmful bacteria that is in the meat won’t be killed and could be unsafe to consume and may cause food poisoning.
The Meater PLUS makes all of the guess work go away. The app guides you through getting your food to the correct and safe temperature. It really is an amazing little probe.
Fillo’s American Made Sofrito Beans
Daniel and Antonio Caballero turned their everyday family meals into a business that puts their meals in every home. As children, they would have a bowl of beans seasoned with sofrito. Sofrito is vegetables, spices and herbs cooked in olive oil. Their father grew up in Cuba and taught them that even though the beans were humble, they are packed with many good nutrients and flavors.
They realized that cooking to add so much flavor took more time than most homes today can spare, so they worked hard and made Fillo’s ready to eat packets, seasoned with sofrito.
Varieties of Fillo’s
Fillo’s Sofrito Beans and Meals comes in many varieties of flavors and styles. They come in seasoned beans or some combined with grains such as rice and quinoa.
Sofrito beans come in the following:
- Cuban Black Beans
- Peruvian Lentils
- Puerto Rican Pink Beans
- Tex Mex Pinto Beans
- Panamanian Garbonzo Beans
- Mexican Mayocoba Beans
Ready-to-eat meals come in the following:
- Cuban Black Beans and Rice
- Puerto Rican Rice and Gandules
- Peruvian Quinoa and Lentils
- Carolina Peas & Rice
The neat thing I like about these products are, on the back of each package is suggestions on what to eat with them. Such as for breakfast, pair them with eggs. Lunch, you can pair them with avocado.
All varieties are fully cooked and easy to warm up on the stove or in a microwave.
My Thoughts
Each of these products, Meater PLUS and Fillo’s are great for every home. They are designed to make life easier and mealtimes less stressful. As a mom, nothing is better than something that makes my life easier. As I said before, the perfect meal starts with Meater PLUS and Fillo’s.
