Smart air fryer microwaves: Just a trend or the next big shift in kitchen appliances?
In the past many years microwaves have really revolutionised from simple, basic heating, convection baking to fully equipped smart appliances. One of the most interesting developments in this category is the rise of smart air fryer microwaves. Which means combining the features of traditional microwave functions with convection-based air frying. But the question here is are they really the big thing in kitchen technology or just a passing trend. Let's understand what this category of microwave is all about. So, a smart microwave with a built-in air fryer is a combination of three technologies in one unit which is microwave heating, convection baking and air frying. These appliances come with built-in sensors, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity, and app-based controls that allow homemakers to schedule, monitor, and adjust cooking from their smartphones. Some models even include voice assistant support, such as Alexa or Google Assistant. Unlike standalone air fryers or simple microwave ovens, these smart hybrid machines manage everything in one go. For example, suppose you have deep frozen samosas, finger chips and you pull them out straight from your freezer. Using this microwave, you don't need to defrost them separately or preheat the appliance first before using it. Smart air fryer microwaves take care of thawing and crisping in a single run. In a few minutes they're hot, golden and ready to serve with no extra steps required. Yes, such a type of microwave does exist and they are built to make things easier for you. There are a few key features that have brought these microwaves into the spotlight. Let me break them down for you. Now you don't have to do the guesswork. These microwaves can adjust power and timing on their own by sensing how much moisture is in your food. 2. AI cooking modes: Some models go a step further and remember what you cook often, offering suggestions the next time. 3. App integration: Want to start the microwave while you finish a call or get a notification when your food is done? You can, from your smartphone. 4. Voice control: You can just say 'Alexa, preheat the microwave' and it gets going. It handles small tasks like starting or stopping, so you don't have to walk up every time. 5. Multi-stage programming: These machines switch from defrosting to air frying without needing you to press anything mid-way. Brands like IFB, LG, Samsung, and Panasonic have started rolling out smart microwaves with air fryer functions. Most are still in the early stages of smart integration, with limited app support or smart recommendations, but the trend is catching on. Indian households, which often juggle small kitchens and multi cuisine prep, are finding real value in an appliance that can air fry, bake, heat and reheat in one. I know that a lot of everyday cooking in Indian homes involves reheating leftovers, making snacks, or cooking dishes which have an inclusion of crisping items like pakoras, aloo tikkis and cutlets. Instead of using a microwave for heating and then transferring to an air fryer for crisping, these smart air fryer microwaves do both at once. For example, let's say you have leftovers from last night and you want to reheat them. Just place them inside, press the preset air fry + reheat combo, and you'll get hot, slightly crisp tikkis in minutes without any oil or switching to another appliance. It might sound like a luxury at first, but it's quietly becoming a useful solution for smart kitchens. The ability to control your microwave from your smartphone, skip switching between appliances, and cook more intuitively is what's pushing this category forward. It might not be the standard in every home yet, but the shift is real and it's happening faster than we think.

Fuel retail pact: Ambani and Adani partner again, Jio-bp and ATGL to share pump networks
Billionaire industrialists Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani have joined hands for a second time in less than two years, this time to co-market automotive fuels by integrating their retail networks — a strategic move that marks a rare alliance in India's highly competitive energy sector. Ambani's Jio-bp and Adani Total Gas Ltd (ATGL) on Wednesday announced the agreement in a joint statement, saying they will set up each other's fuel dispensers across their retail stations. Jio-bp, the fuel retail joint venture between Reliance Industries and BP, will install petrol and diesel pumps at ATGL's CNG outlets. ATGL, the city gas distribution firm co-owned by Adani Group and TotalEnergies of France, will in turn add CNG units at Jio-bp fuel stations. According to the joint statement issued to PTI, the partnership will span both existing and upcoming outlets of both companies and aims to 'redefine the auto-fuel retail experience for Indian consumers.' Jio-bp currently operates 1,972 petrol pumps nationwide, while ATGL runs 650 CNG stations across 34 geographical areas. This marks the second business partnership between the rival billionaires. In March last year, Reliance Industries had acquired a 26% stake in an Adani Power project in Madhya Pradesh, agreeing to draw 500 MW of electricity for captive consumption. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Top Public Speaking Course for Children Planet Spark Book Now Undo Ambani and Adani — both Gujarat-based tycoons — have long been viewed as rivals in India's corporate landscape. While their business empires rarely overlap, they have occasionally clashed in emerging sectors such as clean energy, telecom spectrum, and the media. Adani recently entered the media space via a takeover of NDTV, while Ambani has owned a portfolio of news and entertainment channels for nearly a decade. The latest collaboration comes at a time when private players are seeking to loosen the dominance of state-run fuel retailers — Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum, and Hindustan Petroleum — who together operate over 90% of the country's 97,000-plus petrol pumps. These public sector companies also dominate the city gas segment. 'The strategic alliance marks a significant milestone in the journey of both companies toward sustainable growth and innovation,' the statement said. ATGL CEO Suresh P Manglani added, 'This partnership will enable us to leverage each other's infrastructure, thus enhancing customer experience and offerings.' Jio-bp Chairman Sarthak Behuria echoed the sentiment, saying, 'We are united by a shared vision to offer our customers a superior selection of high-quality fuels.' Both firms are also expanding into clean fuels. While Adani is building the world's largest solar park in Gujarat's Kavada region, Reliance is investing in four gigafactories in Jamnagar to produce solar panels, batteries, hydrogen, and fuel cells. The new agreement also covers collaboration on compressed biogas (CBG), EV charging, LNG for transport, and other low-carbon mobility solutions, the companies said.
