What observers say
“This product says: ‘I cook what you cook. All of it.’” These words from celebrity chef Ranveer Brar encapsulate the essence of the newly launched Philips OneChef, an all-in-one smart cooking appliance unveiled at a special event in Mumbai on March 18, 2026.
The Philips OneChef combines an impressive 33 cooking functions, including air frying, stir frying, steaming, and boiling, designed specifically to meet the needs of Indian households. The appliance utilizes AmbiHeat technology for even heat distribution, ensuring that every dish is cooked to perfection.
At the launch event, which featured live cooking demonstrations and a panel discussion, Gulbahar Taurani from Versuni India emphasized, “At Versuni, our focus has always been on understanding how Indian households actually cook.” This commitment to understanding local cooking practices is evident in the OneChef’s design, which aims to simplify Indian cooking processes.
With a price tag of Rs 19,995, the Philips OneChef is set to hit the market on March 19. The appliance targets Indian households with limited kitchen space, aiming to reduce the need for multiple kitchen gadgets.
The development of the Philips OneChef took one and a half years, reflecting the growing demand for multifunctional cooking devices, particularly among younger consumers. As the popularity of air fryers continues to rise, the OneChef positions itself as a versatile solution for modern cooking needs.
“With OneChef, we wanted to bring multiple cooking techniques into a single intelligent platform,” Taurani added, highlighting the appliance’s innovative approach to cooking. The launch marks a significant step for Philips Home Appliances in catering to the evolving culinary landscape in India.
As the appliance becomes available for purchase, many are eager to see how it performs in real kitchens. The initial response from culinary experts and home cooks alike suggests that the Philips OneChef could be a game changer in the realm of smart cooking.
Details remain unconfirmed about potential future updates or expansions to the OneChef line, but the excitement surrounding its launch indicates a promising future for Philips in the smart kitchen market.
