Mother’s Day is just once a year so go ahead and pamper your mum

GIVE MUM A WHIRL!

Manoeuvre mum out of the house one day and surprise her with a new appliance from one of Australia’s favourite whitegoods suppliers, Whirlpool. How about the Whirlpool VT 256 Vitesse 24L Crisp™ Microwave – which promises “traditional oven taste in microwave minutes”? The Vitesse provides three-way heat for faster, better results: the Crisp™ plate can be preheated to 210°C, the Quartz grill browns the top of food, and the microwave 3D technology distributes heat evenly. It also offers steaming and Jet menu settings that automatically choose the best temperature and timing! Every Vitesse comes with a recipe book and DVD that mums will have fun experimenting with.

JETSTAR magazine and Whirlpool are offering two readers the chance to win a Whirlpool VT 256 Vitesse 24L Crisp™ Microwave, valued at AU$399. Just answer the question below in 25 words or less and send your full name, address, phone numbers, email address and a return address for delivery of the microwave to Mum to ‘JETSTAR Whirlpool Competition’ at jetstarcontest@ink-publishing.com or by post to 97B Amoy Street, Singapore 069917.
