Branded OTG in India

The oven, toaster, grill or the OTG is a smart three-in-one kitchen appliance that comes in handy for cooking all sorts of food. The oven is used for baking cakes, biscuits, cookies and the like; the toaster to toast your bread, papads, etc; and the grill to roast your peanuts, almonds, cashews, meat or barbeque your kebabs. The OTG has now been in Indian homes since long. A baker’s delight, the OTG in India spurred baking at home whether it was the spongy cakes, little light muffins, or the mouth melting cookies. Also, an OTG would keep your food warm, reheat it, bake and barbeque; much like a microwave.

A number of companies make OTGs in India – Morphy Richards, Panasonic, Bajaj, Prestige –to name a few. Sunflame, however, has quite a few OTG types with various specifications that include a stainless steel body, illuminated chamber, thermostat temperature control function, wave wire rack, crumb tray, skewer rods, baking tray, etc. Some OTGs are equipped with rotisserie and convection function for better cooking. A lot of other OTGs come in various models that have additional functions like timer options. OTG has heating elements both on the ceiling and the roof of the oven. One has the choice of either one or both coils to heat the oven. For grilling, the top coil needs to be heated and for normal baking, both coils need to be heated. An OTG is basically, a baker's delight. A person can bake crisp cookies, spongy brown muffins and homemade birthday cakes to perfection. One just needs to have some time on hand, because ovens are known for the tasty food they produce and not for the speed at which the food is cooked.

However, an OTG makes up for its lack of speed in its price. You can get a basic OTG for as low as Rs. 2,000. Anyone with an interest in baking must own an OTG. And also it is very useful for working professionals especially women. One just needs to set the timer and leave the dish to be cooked without any hassle or fear of it getting spoilt or burnt. It definitely is slow to cook but then slow and steady always wins the race. 

An Indian brand called Sunflame makes OvenToaster Grillers. These versatile OTG’s have made Indian cooking so much healthier and tastier.
