New Delhi, April 24, 2024.
With temperatures rising by the day, summers are now fully upon us. It’s that season where each one of us is looking for ways to eat healthy and yet spend as little time in the kitchen as possible.
This is where these go-to gadgets come into play. Each one is meant to take a load off while delivering food that is not only delicious but healthy too.
We are talking about Usha’s new I-Chef range of appliances that includes the iSteam that can air-fry, bake, and steam – so you literally get three gadgets in one. They also offer two air-fryers, one of which has a Borosil glass pan that offers 360* visibility while your food is cooking, and once the food is cooked the same pan can be used as a serving bowl too. Their programmable kettle is a great help as it has pre-programmed temperatures to cater to multiple needs such a baby feed, green tea, etc.
Below the details of how exactly these can be your best pals this summer.
