It‘s the early days of MCO 2.0 and some of us are already running out of things to do. So, besides binging dramas on Netflix and playing games, some people have started cooking and baking. The problem is, especially with baking, that there is usually a lot of leftover ingredients after completion. For example, you'd have to buy a can of baking soda for some cookies, but only used a small tablespoon of it. The rest of the baking soda is just left to spoil if you don't feel like baking anymore. What a waste, right? Well, worry no more as there is a solution - baking kits.

No longer do you need to leave the house to get ingredients as some have delivery options, it also reduces wastage of excess material. It's a total win-win situation! Of course, certain products such as eggs and butter have to be prepared ourselves to ensure freshness.
