Everybody always eats a lot more around the holidays. It’s
that time of year when we let our guard down a bit when it comes to what we eat
because, let’s be honest, how much of Christmas would you have really enjoyed
if you hadn’t attended every banquet there was?
What if, however, we told you that you did not have to give
up a nutritious diet in order to enjoy the season? What if you discovered that
you could quickly prepare your delectable recipe in your own kitchen?
Every home cook out there should have Breville’s Smart Oven
Air Fryer on their Christmas wishlist. This oven from the high-end home brand
can give you the best of both worlds in terms of flavor and simplicity of
cooking as you make your way through the holidays. It is versatile, simple to
use, and highly sturdy.
One of the beauties of the Smart Oven Air Fryer is its ten
cooking functions that can let you make to-die-for crispy treats and
scrumptious slow-cooked meals. Toast, bake, roast, grill, and of course air fry
without any fuss while shortening your cooking time. Equipped with Dual Speed
Convection, this kitchen partner speeds up the cooking process by raising
hotter air while sinking colder one. The result: 30 percent reduced cooking
time as compared to regular ovens and air fryers!
Richie
Zamora, the vlogger behind The Pickiest Eater in the World makes a perfect case
for this when he prepared a full spread of TV chow snacks for his family to
enjoy in minutes. He shares, “All
these amazing snacks were cooked in the air fryer with absolutely no oil.
Everything was cooked to a beautiful crisp, but you don’t even realize that
they aren’t deep fried.”
Let’s Eat Pare also showed how fast and easy it is to make
restaurant-level fried crispy wings with Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer. In just
20 minutes, they were able to make a big batch of chicken wings in sour cream
flavor! You can check out their recipe here if you want to try their version.
Of course, preparing healthier versions of dishes is another
thing that makes this kitchen must-have from Breville essential. Air frying
significantly reduces—if not totally removes—the use of oil in cooking, which
means that you consume fewer calories and prevent weight gain and obesity when
you air-fried food. Fortunately, for the Smart Oven Air Fryer, you don’t need
to worry about sacrificing flavors just to go the healthier route. Chef Beng
proves this when she made a Pinoy-style whole fried chicken using it.
“Normally, I will have this deep fried, but
using an air fryer is apparently so much better as the chicken is amazingly
crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. Not to mention, this is a way healthier
process than deep frying.”
“Just press a function and it automatically shows how long and high the cooking process will be.” This is made possible by Breville’s patented Element IQ System which is a smart algorithm that decides the ideal cooking environment for a range of different cooking techniques.
If you want to enjoy nutritious, delectable meals with less
effort this holiday season, the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer is unquestionably
the kitchen partner to have. According to Richie, Chef Beng, and Let’s Eat
Pare, in that order:
“The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer proves
that cooking doesn’t need to be greasy to be delicious, and preparing food with
less guilt doesn’t mean less flavors either.”
“It has 10 cooking functions which makes it a
value-for-money purchase. I totally love it and I highly recommend this smart
kitchen appliance.”
“It’s the ultimate kitchen tool you need to
put on your Christmas shopping list, pare!”
Why are you holding
out? Your holiday wishlist should now include the Breville Smart Oven Air
Fryer. Visit the Breville website and follow them on Facebook and Instagram

To celebrate The Eraserheads’ reunion concert last
night, Sony Music Philippines artists released their revamped versions of
“Christmas Party” and “Magasin”
Top OPM acts like SB19 and NOBITA have reimagined some of the supergroup’s most
cherished songs as a way to celebrate the success of last night’s reunion
event.
The updated versions, which were made
available today under the Sony Music Entertainment banner, preserve the music
of Eheads’ timeless allure while giving it a more modern feel that appeals to
streaming listeners.
SB19 V2k22 Cover Art
With their unique interpretation of “Christmas
Party,”
a track from The Eraserheads’ fourth studio album,
Fruitcake, P-Pop Kings SB19 perfectly
captures the spirit of the season. The five-member boyband transforms the
original into a merry banger by adding dance-pop, R&B/hip-hop, and modern
funk to the mix while retaining the spirit and vigor of the song’s bygone era.
“The
Eraserheads are one of the most influential bands of our time,” says SB19 in a statement. “We retained everything that’s great about
the song, but made sure to add our own creative direction in terms of overall
sound. There’s a balance of artistic liberty and compromise in the way we
approach the material, and we’re definitely happy with how it turned out.”
Stell of SB19 adds, “we feel honored that we were chosen to recreate the song. Our tour schedule was really tight, but gladly we were still able to push through with it before leaving LA. Recording in a different country also feels surreal, we didn’t expect we’d reach this far.”
The eclectic rendition of “Christmas
Party,” is produced by August Rigo, the hitmaker behind some of BTS’ biggest
global smashes (“On” and “Black Swan”).
Nobita V2k Cover Art
NOBITA, whose single “Ikaw Lang” is the most
streamed song of 2022 according to Spotify Wrapped, expressed enthusiasm and
gratitude when they found out that they’re part of the music project that pays
tribute to the generation-defining catalog of The Eraserheads. “We grew up
listening to and playing Eheads songs,” the alt-rock group says in a
statement. “NOBITA heavily draws inspiration from their music, especially their
brand of songwriting. Their work has shaped us into where we are now, and we’re
forever grateful to their enormous contribution to OPM artists, young and old.”
For their part, NOBITA adds a little
jazz-pop treatment to “Magasin”
without completely losing the song’s upbeat and heavily melodic arrangement.
Slightly slowing it down with stripped-down finesse, the chart-topping
five-piece act puts sunshine back in “hugot” with endearingly surprising
twist.
Five of The Eraserheads’ famous albums were
re-released in full 360-degree spatial sound to provide audiences a new
immersive musical experience, in addition to the updated songs by some of
today’s top hitmakers. Among these important albums is Ultraelectromagneticpop!
Cutterpillow, Fruitcake, Sticker Happy, Circus (25th Anniversary Remastered),
and The 25th Anniversary Remastered Edition.
Sony Music Entertainment has released “Christmas Party” by SB19 and “Magasin” by NOBITA on all digital music platforms across the world.
