Morphy Richard 40 lit Oven Toaster Grill 

They say baking is addiction! Indeed, I found my solace in baking and it all started just 3 years back. From cakes to cookies, biscuits to breads and to all exotic baked, grilled or roasted veg/non veg dishes, everything is baked in my home today. Baking has always been one of the healthy technique of cooking. Initially I had a typical electric oven that was actually borrowed from my mom. After plenty of disasters and experiments finally I aced this art of cooking and now I’m a professional baker as well.

It doesn’t matter if you bake for yourself or for your clients, a good oven helps you achieving your goals smoothly. To me personally, a 40 lit oven was enough to satisfy my skills and orders. After a lot of research and enquiry, I finally decided to get a Morphy Richard 40 lit OTG for my kitchen and it’s been 2 years now, my oven hadn’t let me down. So if you are an amateur baker or a professional, try getting a good oven for yourself rather than baking in a microwave. I vouch for Morphy Richard but there are couple of other good brands too functioning successfully.

This Morphy Richards 40 RC-SS (40 Litre) Oven Toaster Griller offers everything that a master chef needs. Beginning with a convection oven. With convection technology, the heat in the chamber is circulated evenly, and the food gets cooked uniformly and rapidly while saving energy. Slide a chicken or a joint of meat onto the extra large, motorized rotisserie for grilling without worrying about losing moisture from within or its marination dripping. That way, whatever is loaded on the rotisserie or wire rack will retain all flavors, remain succulent, tender from within, and caramelize evenly. You can add a complex aromatic flavor to your food by loading the spice of your choice inside a unique spice holder. As the spice warms up, its aroma wafts through the chamber percolating into the food. A 90 mins timer and a Stay On function keeps all that you have prepared warm and fresh until it is served. What’s more, its non-stick baking tray allows oil-free cooking.
Its toasting feature allows you to toast large bread slices for making your favourite bruschetta. That’s not all. You can bake your own professional looking pizzas, bread, cakes, cookies, and crackers too.
Its large 40 lit capacity allows you to experiment with just about any culinary delight. Be it Indian, Italian, Mexican or a dish of any other country that you have a hankering for, this OTG virtually transforms your kitchen into a world kitchen.
