Best Black Friday Kitchen Updates

“Whether you’re replacing tired appliances or kitting out a completely new kitchen, the Black Friday Australia sale is your moment to snap up the latest exciting cooking and food storage tech that might have been off the menu previously,” says Tania Grillinzoni, The Good Guys Buyer – Cooking.

Top 3 Oven Upgrades

#1 Pyrolytic Self-Cleaning
An oven that cleans itself has to top the list! Pyrolytic ovens use pressurised high temperatures to turn built-up gunk and grease into easy-wipe ash, without nasty chemicals.

 #2 Steam Cooking
Steam ovens combine steam with hot air to cut cooking times and keep food moist so you can enjoy healthier meals with locked-in flavours.

#3 An Air Fryer Function
Upgrade to an oven with a built-in air fryer tray and savour the same crispy, crunchy flavours you’ll get with a benchtop air fryer, but in bigger batches.

The Last Word On Getting Black Friday Fit
