Steam, blend, chop and whisk with Jamie Oliver, well kind of – presented by Philips
The Philips and Jamie Oliver steamer
Dubai; We know how much you love competitions, so here’s the second in a series from the Philips and Jamie Oliver kitchen collection, where we’re giving away one steamer and one hand blender to two lucky winners.
So what are they both about?
The steamer comes kitted out with a large bain marie and vent holes to stop any finger burning, an egg steaming rack, plus three stackable baskets. Unclip the bottom of each basket and you can even squeeze in a whole plump chicken! The beauty of steaming is that it retains all the nutrients in your food, whilst this particular contraption has a unique flavour booster allowing you to pop in herbs and spices infusing your food with that extra kick. There’s also a 60-minute timer, a ready steady go signal and automatic shut-off.
The Philips and Jamie Oliver hand blender
Meanwhile, the hand blender with its powerful 650W turbo motor lets you chop ingredients like onions and prepare rich sauces, batters and pestos. Pop on the whisk attachment and you will be on your way to making a perfectly smooth hollandaise. An accompanying one-litre beaker with a lid keeps your concoctions fresh in the fridge.
Oh and all removable parts are dishwasher proof!
