INOS EXPERIENCE AT THE JOURNAL GROUP OF PUBLICATIONS

With its safe and health-friendly components, INOS cookware is perfect for cooking nutritious meals for your family. INOS cookware is food grade quality, non toxic, and reinforced (meaning, it does not melt or scrape off easily). The plus factor is the savings in terms of money and time because of the reduced LPG consumption and cooking time. And I thought that having the cooking demo right on my birthday is a my gift to myself and to everybody who'll be learning from that demo. Think Positive. Even if nobody can afford to buy the items, at least they'll be able to know the technique and the cookware's merits over other cookwares.
 
How would a cooking demo without the actual cooking look? Our HR and Ms. VAM were very accommodating when they learned of the cooking demo. Ms. VAM already has similar set, a gift according to her, imagine that. But the permit from the building admin was another matter, being March as Fire Prevention Month, they disapproved my request for a cooking demo. It was March 14, just two days before the schdeuled demo. Without the actual cooking, how can we see INOS merits when there won't be a chance for the INOS people to do it? With much disappointment I informed sistah Leena about the permit's disapproval, and also told her that it's best to cancel the demo. VAM, bless her heart told me to go ahead --- it can be done even without the actual cooking. She's also set to see the demo after her 10am meeting with her AEs at the Conference Room. Leena also assured me that Ms. Jo is willing to do it, so I went to the office of the building admin again to secure their approval for a no-cooking demo, which they readily granted.

It was March 16, Wednesday. It was my birthday, but I felt sluggish, dizzy. Without the demo that day, for sure I 'll go on leave and spend the day resting. So I hurried to Makati, dozing off on the bus along the way.

Even after March 11, the earthquake, the tsunami, and the nuclear problems in Japan were major news. Very frightening, very depressing. The INOS demo was a welcome respite, the time for some good news. . .



I arrived at the office earlier than my usual time to make an intro for Ms. Josephine "Jo" Cunanan.. This dynamo is the President and CEO of  INOSPHIL CORPORATION. A mother of two beautiful girls and  loving wife of Sonny Cunanan, the lady did everything to put INOS where it is today, a successful business that recently celebrated its 10th anniversary. After the set-up, the AEs and the other women employees came one by one to watch and learn, so when Leena came in the Product Demo was already on a roll. The Accounting girls were not able to leave their desk because they're doing a late payroll.

I came inside and just like everybody listened attentively to what Ms. Jo was explaining. She shared with us what INOS is all about, gave us cooking tips and how to take care of the cookware. They brought with them  Pansit Bihon, Baked Macaroni, Sinigang na Bangus, Pinaputok na Tilapia and Banana/camote cue, cooked the INOS way, healthy cooking and in less than their usual cooking time. She pointed out that with the "Look-While-You Cook" system pertaining to the tempered glass covers, the cook need not lift the cover to see how the cooking  progresses. From my point of view, the demo was a success in terms of the interests shown by the audience. They were impressed by the merits of the products. However, the only fly in the ointment is the prevailing financial situation of the company and the delayed payments of our salaries and non payment of our allowances. I, for one would like to have the multi-purpose fryer (P4,592) and the 3qts covered saucepan (P3,304). Good thing is, INOSPHIL is now offering purchase through credit cards.  But Ms. Jo advised us to talk among ourselves and get a financier who'll pay for the items in advance, which in turn we'll pay back in installments. It was a good idea so we agreed to give the matter some serious thought. The multi-purpose fryer seems to be a hit.

On the business side, Ms. Jo talked about earning opportunities by selling INOS cookware. As for me, more than the material gain is the desire to share with my family the health benefits and the savings to be had, both in the cooking time and lpg consumption


And then the sampling began. This is the part that really proved that the demo is a success. . . The food that the INOS team brought were so tasty, everyone was just too happy eating.

These are only few of the many dishes one can cook with the use of the INOS cookware. And for one, I am envisioning myself contributing some of them to INOS.

I, for one will try to convince Ellen (my sister who loves to cook), Lorrie (my sister whose co-teachers and her students' parents for possible prospects), Dai (whose family is on the healthy cooking and eating regime), Ghai (sister-in-law, whose business deals with meat), and Tita (sister-in-law, who used to be a great sales person dealing with insurance). Only problem is how I can lump them together in one sitting since we all live in different places--Ellen and Lorrie are in Bataan, Ghai is in Olongapo, Tita is in Silang, Cavite and Daisy, who although lives in Makati, always has a very hectic sked. But Ms. Jo is right when she advised us that we have to experience the cooking ourselves so we can personally attest to what INOS can do.You have to see and experience, to be able to believe and to better explain its merits.

FYI. If you're interested, just give them a call at 636-0998 or 687-4960. You may also visit their offices at the 5th Floor, Cityland Shaw Tower, Mandaluyong City. Be assured that the INOS team is only too willing to show you what INOS can do.
