On the 29th of November 2017 I had the honor and privilege of attending the launch of the Whirlpool Jetchef product at the Hirsch’s Homestore in Four ways. Where the held a cooking demo hosted by the Whirlpool brand ambassador and owner of Blackcurrant events and Catering Chef Lebo Mpuong. The event was an all round Success, in my opinion as it had amazing food that was prepared by Chef Lebo by using the Jetchef. The food was better than I imagined in every way possible. The event itself was well thought out and the staff were very friendly.
The Jetchef Product is new to the whirlpool range and has already made an impression on everyone including me due to its convenience. Whirlpool also has a range of other diverse products which makes it even more brilliant and a must have as they are all just as easy to use and convenient I had such an amazing time and I hope I can go to their next demo in the near future.
I have included one of the recipes made below.
