Inevitably, there has been a matching, higher demand for the sort of appliances which are needed for use in cooking Asian foods. For example, household goods manufacturers have noticed the demand and arranged better distribution for appliances such as electrical frying wok sets, fondue sets and rice cookers. Better still, most of these products seem to be meeting domestic standards of function and design. The scenario is quite different from the position some years ago, when such equipment was sold in shops which catered exclusively to Asians working in Germany. Perhaps logically, greater sales of equipment have been mirrored by higher sales of ingredients for Asian dishes.
Customers seem to want more Asian vegetables too.
Food distributors such as Kattus, a leading supplier of international specialities, has enlarged its range of Asian food products - with sales of spices, snacks, vinegar and oils showing a massive increase in demand. All rights reserved.
