Panasonic introduces Panasonic Cubie Oven! Steam, healthy fry, bake, roast and even fermentation – all can be done in this small size, compact convection steam oven. Imagine you can steam a whole fish in this oven. So cool. The oven’s steam sterilization function can also use to sterilize baby bottles and tableware.
Thanks to Panasonic Malaysia, we get to discover and experience this multi-function cubie oven through an enjoyable blogger get-together cooking workshop, held at The Cooking House, Panasonic Home2Com Solution Center Bangsar South, Kuala Lumpur last week.
Tested out two recipes – Roasted Stuffed Chicken with Sundried Tomato Pesto & Root Vegetables for the savoury, and Mango Passion Fruit Crumble Dessert for the sweet.
Chef giving guidance, explaining the ABC of making these two dishes.
So much fun cooking with our blogger friends. And yay, look at these beautiful, pastel colours Le Creuset Cocottes perfect for serving single portion dishes. We used them for dessert.
