If you've been on the fence about buying an air fryer, now might be the time to invest, as Smeg has announced the launch of its brand new Multifunction Countertop Oven and its capabilities sound seriously impressive!
The new appliance has ten functions, reimagining what is possible from a compact cooker and gives a serious upgrade to those unsightly air fryers currently on countertops.
From steaming, grilling, air-frying and defrosting, this super cute and retro culinary aims to add functionality to your kitchen without the worktop clutter of multiple appliances. The brand claims it also uses less energy and delivers faster cooking times.
With more people living alone than ever before and Britain having the smallest average homes in Europe, the Multifunction Countertop Oven is ideal for couples, smaller families, solo living and renters.
Plus, Smeg’s 10-in-1 oven hopes to inspire budding at-home chefs with access to 33 built-in recipes. Filled with meat and fish dishes, vegetable preparations, desserts, bread and pizza inspiration, users simply input the weight of what’s in the oven and it does the rest, intelligently setting a time and temperature. A function we never knew we needed to be honest!
Here's a breakdown of all the functions its capable of:
Bake - For even browning and a beautiful rise for cakes and pastries
Convection - For crispy & golden roast veg and potatoes
Grill & Gratin - Creates a bubbling, melted finish for dishes like potato dauphinoise and pasta bakes
Bottom - base baking, great for pizza, pastry tarts and crisping from the bottom up.
Air Fry - Golden and crispy results, using less fat, in less time. Perfect for homemade chips, wedges and breaded chicken.
Warm - Gently keep food warm after cooking, for perfectly timed serving.
Defrost - gently defrost food in a contained environment at a safe temperature, without cooking the food.
Pure Steam - the more nutritious and space saving equivalent to boiling on the hob, use 100% steam to cook rice, vegetables, even curries and casseroles, for delicious and tender results.
Convection Steam - Creates incredible meat roasting results. With caramelised exterior thanks to the oven heat and tender, juicy meat thanks to the addition of steam, this is the perfect function for roasting.
Grill Steam - ideal for cooking pork chops and sausages, to caramelise on the outside, whilst keeping them succulent and tender.
The Smeg 10-in-1 Multifunction Countertop Oven will retail for £849.95 and will be available to purchase from the 18th July at shop.smeguk.com.
