Top 3 Oven Upgrades

#1 Pyrolytic Self-Cleaning
An oven that cleans itself has to top the list! Pyrolytic ovens use pressurised high temperatures to turn built-up gunk and grease into easy-wipe ash, without nasty chemicals.

 #2 Steam Cooking
Steam ovens combine steam with hot air to cut cooking times and keep food moist so you can enjoy healthier meals with locked-in flavours.

#3 An Air Fryer Function
Upgrade to an oven with a built-in air fryer tray and savour the same crispy, crunchy flavours you’ll get with a benchtop air fryer, but in bigger batches.
