Breville’s Smart Air Fryer Connects You to Celebrity Chefs

By

With Breville, you can now not only take on an innovative cooking technique but you can also air fry along with some of today’s best chefs.

On March 29, the innovative kitchen appliance brand Breville announced the launch of the Joule Oven Air Fryer Pro. The convection oven comes connected to the Joule Oven App — the company’s first smart connected cooker. This pairing features an upcoming impressive digital library of video-guided recipes and content from pioneering chefs like Carla Lalli Music, Nik Sharma, and Gregory Gourdet. This new drop combines ChefSteps’ Joule App’s digital engagement with Breville’s award-winning design into a unified, multifunctional monster, capable of baking bread just as crispy as a whole chicken.

Air fryers work via convection fans that blow extremely hot air around any and all friable food, creating a snappy, savory exterior that wraps around a warm, juicy inside. The Joule App elevates this air fryer with 13 cooking functions, including toast, dehydrate, and slow cook. Smart tools like Visual Doneness and sous vide control provide precision in preparation. There’s even an Air Fryer Pro air-frying basket.

With all this gear, there’s no need to fear because the Breville air fryer is also very easy to use and quick to fix. This fits the collaborators’ intention to make “an everyday chef out of everybody.” Alongside, renowned chefs will help to spark these culinary visions in the coming months.

The 9 Best Air Fryer Ovens To Buy in 2022
Ninja Air Fryer Oven with plates of food next to it in kitchen.

If you’re looking to equip your kitchen with the latest and greatest air fryer oven, you’re not the only one. Air fryers of all shapes and sizes are hot-ticket items right now and probably will be well into the future. Air fryers first became popular to help people enjoy fried foods while cutting out some of the fat. As air fryers grow in popularity, shopping for the best air fryer depends on the type of food, space, and features you prefer such as an air fryer oven vs basket.

Air fryer ovens are easy to use, and many come with pre-programmed functions that allow you to cook almost anything with a push of a button. They also let you customize your cooking options if you already know your way around an air fryer. The capacity of air fryer ovens can vary but are usually much larger than your standard basket air fryer. There are very few basket air fryers that can accommodate cooking a whole chicken or roast. Still, most air fryer ovens can handle that task with no problems.

How to make the Aviation cocktail, a drink almost lost to history
The cocktail renaissance brought this classic drink back to the forefront
Aviation

The cocktail renaissance of the last two decades has brought many classic cocktails seemingly lost to time back to the forefront. While the Old Fashioned is the most notable (and never really went away completely), the list also includes drinks like the Sazerac, Americano, Martinez, Boulevardier, and many more. But there's one drink in particular that disappeared for decades and almost didn't come back at all. We're talking about the Aviation.
What is the Aviation?

The last cocktail mentioned might not get the press of the Old Fashioned or even the Manhattan, Negroni, or classic no-frills Daiquiri, but it’s no less memorable. This elegant, flavorful, complex cocktail is historically made with only four ingredients. They are gin, maraschino, liqueur, lemon juice, and crème de violette. Some contemporary recipes opt not to use the latter ingredient.
When was the Aviation cocktail created?

How to tenderize steak: The pros of every method
If you aren't velveting your beef, you're doing stir-fry wrong.
Different raw steak cuts

Often, when people are describing a particularly delicious meal they're eating, they'll say something along the lines of, "It just melts in your mouth." While this line can, admittedly, be a little bit cringy for those of us who are tired of hearing it, it does describe a certain success within a dish - tenderness. As human beings, we've evolved past knawing on raw muscle and bone and crave a succulent meal that does, in fact, taste as though it's melting away in our mouths. Unless it's beef jerky at a ball game, we want our meat to be tender. The problem, though, is that some of the most delicious cuts of beef are also the toughest. That's why it's important to tenderize steak and other cuts of beef before cooking.

Tenderizing beef is the process of breaking down its connective muscle fibers and tissues, giving that piece of meat a more delicate consistency and delicious flavor. So, how do we accomplish this at home?
