“This product says: ‘I cook what you cook. All of it,’” declared renowned chef Ranveer Brar at the launch of the Philips OneChef in Mumbai. His words encapsulate the essence of this innovative appliance, which promises to redefine the cooking experience for Indian households.
Unveiled at a vibrant ‘Chef’s Tasting Table’ event, the Philips OneChef is an all-in-one smart cooking appliance that combines 33 cooking functions, including air frying, stir frying, steaming, and boiling. Designed to cater specifically to the needs of Indian cooking, the appliance employs AmbiHeat technology to ensure even heat distribution, making it easier for users to achieve perfect results every time.
“At Versuni, our focus has always been on understanding how Indian households actually cook,” said Gulbahar Taurani, emphasizing the extensive research that went into the product’s development. It took a dedicated team one and a half years to refine the OneChef, ensuring it meets the unique demands of Indian culinary practices.
The appliance is not just about convenience; it aims to reduce the clutter of multiple kitchen gadgets. As Taurani noted, “With OneChef, we wanted to bring multiple cooking techniques into a single intelligent platform.” This consolidation is particularly beneficial for Indian households with limited kitchen space, allowing for a more streamlined cooking process.
Priced at Rs 19,995, the Philips OneChef is set to hit the market on March 19, 2026. The launch event featured live cooking demonstrations, showcasing the appliance’s versatility and ease of use. Celebrity chef Farah Khan also participated, highlighting the growing demand for smart cooking solutions among younger consumers.
As the popularity of air fryers and multifunctional cooking devices continues to rise, the Philips OneChef positions itself as a frontrunner in the market. Its ability to simplify complex cooking processes while delivering authentic flavors is expected to resonate well with a generation eager for efficiency without compromising on taste.
With the launch of the Philips OneChef, the company reaffirms its commitment to creating appliances that seamlessly fit into Indian cooking routines. As the culinary landscape evolves, so too does the technology that supports it, making the OneChef a significant player in the future of home cooking.
