Serious products. Not-so-serious demonstrations.

Scully: “Mom, my banana is too warm!” 🍌

Mom: “Put it by the ShooAway… it’ll cool it down.”

One spinning fan.
One hopeful banana.
One not so sure Skollie

Turns out… ShooAway is brilliant at keeping flies off your food…
but not so much at banana refrigeration 😅

At least the banana stays fly-free.

Hope you have enjoyed our 3 part series!

Serious products. Not-so-serious demonstrations.

What if… instead of keeping flies away…
we gave them a ride? 🪰🎡

One fly.
One blade.
One highly questionable amusement park.

OR…

You could just switch on your ShooAway
and keep them off your food like a normal person 😌

Fresh food.
No flies.
No fairground required.

When life gives you lemons 🍋 turn them into lemon tarts with MicroGarden’s pie moulds

INGREDIENTS
2x sheets shortcrust pastry, defrosted
1 cup condensed milk
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 lemon

METHOD
1. In a bowl add the condensed milk, egg and vanilla essence.
2. Squeeze the juice of the lemon into the bowl and stir until all mixed through.
3. Place your seed and sprout air fryer mini pie moulds onto the pastry and cut around them.
4. Once you have the cut out moulds, place the pastry into each mould.
5. Fill the moulds with the condensed milk mixture and top each one with grated lemon rind from the lemon you used earlier.
6. Carefully place the moulds into the air fryer at 180 degrees and approximately 6-8 minutes. (Keep checking just to make sure you don’t burn them)
7. Take them out once the tops are bubbling and golden.
Serve straight away or save for a special occasion-these are going to be a crowd favourite.

PEANUT CHILI OIL NOODLES - my favorite dish!
Ingredients:
-hand-cut thick noodles (or any noodles you like)
-peanut butter
-chili flakes (optional)
-cup fresh green onion, sliced
-sesame seeds
-garlic cloves, minced
-chili oil crisp
-rice vinegar
-dark soy sauce
-neutral oil (I use avocado)
-reserved pasta water (optional)
-More sliced green onion, for garnish
Instructions:
1. Boil your noodles in salted water and take them out about 30 seconds early so they can finish soaking up the sauce later. Save a bit of pasta water (!!) then rinse the noodles so they don’t fuse together like overexcited besties at a reunion.
2. In a cold pan, toss in peanut butter, chili flakes, green onion, sesame seeds, garlic, one tablespoon of chili crisp, rice vinegar, and dark soy sauce. No heat yet... we’re building flavor first.
3. Heat one third cup of neutral oil until it’s dangerously hot... like “step back and pray for your eyebrows” hot.
Carefully pour it over the cold ingredients and listen to that ASMR sizzle. Give it all a good stir.
4. Add your noodles and toss until they’re completely coated and glossy. If you want that restaurant-level silkiness, turn the heat to medium low and mix in a splash of your saved noodle water.
5. Kill the heat, hit it with extra green onion, a spoon of chili crisp, and voila !

We have recently dramatically downsized, and I was mourning the loss of our composting capability. Enter the microgarden composter - great product, great service. Once I’ve eliminated that annoying voice, it will get 5 stars!

I have been a customer of Microgarden products for over two years now. I love their eco-friendly and sustainable range. Our family makes every effort to recycle and achieve zero waste, Microgarden assists our mission! Recently I purchased two stainless steel food flasks. Both my sons use them for hot school meals and I am happy to report that the stew was still hot after 7 hours. I highly recommend Microgarden. Thanks for your excellent service!

What a company. First I buy an amazing product, the MicroGarden Compostet, and then when I had an issue, went above and beyond to solve it!

I contact the team about the composter not processing and got an answer in 30 min, and the very next day the machine was in the courier van to be serviced. It was back 4 days later, brand new, and amazing.

Buy anthing and everything from these people, they are brilliant.

Thank you for my Composter. I absolutely love it. I was so impressed I brought another one for our place in Hoedspruit. In about 5 hours it turns our food waste, that would have rotted, into dry pre compost that I just through on the garden. It is so convenient and doesn't cause any problems with flies, rats or baboons. It works way better than I ever expected.
