Mayora Frances, who was recently recognized as one of Cosmopolitan Philippines Women of Influence awardees, proudly calls herself a “pandemic content creator” because of her group’s rise during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
An upgrade to the air fryer
Easily, on her list is one of her highly recommended kitchen equipment which is an upgrade to the trusty air fryer. If you have more budget, Mayora Frances says, go for this multi-purpose appliance that can bake, grill, air fry, and more.

“Instead of having a lot of equipment on your table, you just have one appliance and it does all the work,” Mayora Frances said.

This appliance can perform the functions of a convection oven, microwave oven, air fryer, griller, and more! You can even make DIY pizza and yogurt at home. Dads, we’ve proven time and again that moms love smart appliances better than flowers, so take this as your cue!
The Maximus All-in-One oven comes with a baking tray and two grill racks and has a 30-liter super-size capacity. You can have this all-in-one oven for only P14,999.
