Fridja Expands Kitchen Range with New f66 and f77 Super Ovens

British home appliance brand Fridja has expanded its kitchen range with two new countertop ovens designed to combine the convenience of an air fryer with the versatility of a conventional oven.

The new Fridja f66 Super Oven and larger f77 Super Oven Pro promise fast, even cooking while using little to no added oil. Both also feature stainless steel interiors which are PFAS-free, PTFE-free and PFOA-free, with no chemical non-stick coatings used inside.

Fridja f66 Super Oven

Priced at £129.99, the f66 is the more compact of the two, offering a 15-litre capacity that could make it particularly appealing for smaller kitchens, student accommodation or anyone wanting an alternative to heating a full-sized oven for everyday meals.

There are 12 presets covering Air Fry, Bake, Roast, Toast, Pizza, Chicken, Reheat, Ferment and Dehydrate functions.

The f66 can reach temperatures of up to 220°C, while its convection fan circulates hot air around the food to encourage even cooking and those all-important crispy finishes.

Accessories include an air fry basket, baking tray and grill rack, all of which are dishwasher safe.

Bigger Meals with the f77 Super Oven Pro

For larger households, Fridja's f77 Super Oven Pro costs £169.99 and doubles the capacity to 30 litres.

It features six stainless steel heating elements combined with a turbo convection fan and offers 18 presets. Alongside air frying, roasting, baking, grilling, dehydrating and defrosting, there's a built-in rotisserie function – complete with the necessary forks and rotisserie handle.

That 30-litre capacity should make the f77 suitable for family meals, batch cooking and entertaining, with enough room for larger joints of meat, trays of vegetables or a whole rotisserie chicken.

Cleaning has also been considered, with dishwasher-safe accessories and a removable crumb tray.

Could a Super Oven Replace Your Conventional Oven?

Countertop air fryer ovens are increasingly attractive when cooking smaller meals because there's no need to heat the considerable space inside a conventional oven.

Fridja says its Super Oven range is designed to provide an energy-efficient alternative while bringing several cooking appliances together in one machine.

With air frying, baking, roasting, reheating and dehydrating covered by both models, the choice largely comes down to capacity. The 15-litre f66 offers a compact everyday option, while the 30-litre f77 Pro provides considerably more room and the added versatility of rotisserie cooking.

Both are available directly from Fridja, priced at £129.99 and £169.99 respectively.

The importance of good hygiene in the home kitchen

A clean domestic kitchen

Good hygiene in the home kitchen is crucial for several reasons:

Food Safety: Good hygiene practices, such as regular handwashing and proper cleaning of kitchen surfaces, utensils, and equipment, help prevent the spread of harmful bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens that can contaminate food and cause foodborne illnesses.

Pets: Don't allow pets to play on food preparation areas. And if they do, carefully and kindly remove them and clean the area thoroughly. 

Prevention of Cross-Contamination: Proper hygiene reduces the risk of cross-contamination, where harmful bacteria from raw foods, such as meat and poultry, are transferred to ready-to-eat foods, leading to foodborne illnesses. Separate cutting boards, utensils, and storage areas for raw and cooked foods can help prevent cross-contamination.

Prolonged Food Freshness: Keeping the kitchen clean and free from spills, crumbs, and food residues can deter pests like insects and rodents that are attracted to food scraps. Proper storage and handling of perishable foods also help prevent spoilage and extend their shelf life.

Health of Household Members: Maintaining good hygiene in the kitchen contributes to the overall health and well-being of household members by reducing the risk of foodborne illnesses and other infections.

Positive Cooking Environment: A clean and organised kitchen is more inviting and conducive to cooking. It can also inspire creativity and enjoyment in meal preparation.

Role Modelling: Practicing good hygiene in the kitchen sets a positive example for other household members, especially children, who can learn important habits and skills for safe food handling and preparation.

Compliance with Regulations: Adhering to hygiene practices in the home kitchen ensures compliance with food safety regulations and standards, which are essential for public health and safety.

In summary, good hygiene in the home kitchen is essential for preventing foodborne illnesses, maintaining food freshness, promoting the health of household members, creating a positive cooking environment, and complying with food safety regulations.
