Samsung Smart Oven is all-in-one
FEATR MEDIA (that’s James Beard awardee Erwan Heussaff and his team) tested out a variety of healthy dishes in its latest online video with just one device — Samsung’s new All-in-One Smart Oven. In Samsung and FEATR’s latest collaboration, the chefs participated in a cook-off that highlighted the smart oven’s functions: grilling, air frying, heating, and baking. Among the dishes they demonstrated was a one-pan fajita, highlighting the grill feature, a function that was also used for a prawn thermidor recipe. A soft-shell crab bánh mì highlighted how the airfrying feature helps achieve a crunch. The baking feature of the oven was used to make a roasted vanilla saffron chicken and a burnt Basque cheesecake. Samsung’s SmartThings app can be used to customize cooking functions and setting the perfect cooking time for any dish. The SmartThings Food option offers a guided cooking experience and can even recommend personalized recipes based on a family’s needs and dietary preferences. The Smart Oven is also easy to maintain as its ceramic enamel interior is easy to clean and shows an antibacterial activity of 99.9%. The ceramic enamel is also guaranteed to be about 24 times more scratch-resistant than stainless steel.

Foodpanda has pink jeepneys
ONE MAY have noticed something unusual — pink jeepneys popping up in busy spots. These jeepneys aren’t just eye-catching; they’re offering free rides on two popular routes: Cubao to Marikina and Monumento to EDSA Rotonda. It’s all part of foodpanda Philippines’ new Christmas campaign. The multinational online food and grocery delivery platform is kicking off this holiday campaign both on the streets and onscreen. The pink jeepneys are just the beginning. Foodpanda has also unveiled a new TV commercial featuring a group of office workers who start out looking deliriously hungry — then they remember foodpanda. The once-tired officemates break into a lively dance, moving to the beat of “foodots,” a combination of the word “food” and the popular Filipino music genre “budots.”
