Panasonic and Marion Grasby launch “Marion’s Test Kitchen” to surprise and inspire home cooks

Television presenter and author to share the ultimate cooking freedom with Panasonic’s multi-functional kitchen range, designed for every Australian family.

Panasonic has announced a new partnership with prominent Australian cook and content creator Marion Grasby. The collaboration, “Marion’s Test Kitchen”, will see the fan favourite showcase the convenience and versatility of Panasonic’s diverse range of kitchen appliances.

Marion will recreate some of the most engaging recipes from her repertoire in appliances such as Convection Microwaves and Rice Cookers – showing home cooks how popular meals can be created fuss-free, and with delicious results.

The five-part content series will challenge perceptions and demonstrate how the brand’s modern solutions offer Australians the ultimate cooking freedom.

Marion Grasby said: “I am incredibly excited to collaborate with Panasonic! I’m always interested in new tech and love testing out its potential to make things easier or better for cooks like me.  I’ve got some awesome experiments up my sleeve, from preparing the crispiest pork belly in a convection microwave to making a spicy satay in a rice cooker.”

Charissa Sano, Home Appliance Category & Marketing Communications Manager at Panasonic Australia said: “The lives of Australian consumers and their families have never been busier or more complex, but with these multi-functional kitchen heroes, it’s easy for anyone to create an impressive array of healthy, delicious and perfectly cooked meals.

“Marion’s series is designed to inspire Australians to have a go and enjoy exploring the full capabilities of appliances such as Convection Microwaves or Bread Makers. For example, a recent survey showed that 80% of Australian microwave users use their appliance at least once a day[i] – we aim to show them the true extent of what’s possible. Panasonic products are backed by over 100 years of technology R&D, so like Marion, we’ve done the hard work and you can enjoy the outcome!”

Marion’s Test Kitchen will be launched across Marion’s Facebook, Instagram and You Tube channels, with the first episode featuring Marion creating Crispy Pork Belly in Panasonic’s NN-CF770 Convection Microwave.
