33 Litre

Air Convector Oven

TOWER®

over 100 years of quality

1912 Midland Metal Spinners was founded by George Cadman, who was then 65 years old, as a metal holloware manufacturing company, in St. Mark's Street, Wolverhampton. They later moved into the Tower and Fort Works in Pelham Street, which ultimately gave rise to the famous Tower brand name.

1937 Tower exhibited some of their latest holloware designs at the British Industries Fair. As you can see from the original poster, their stand No. A410 must have been a great sight as it promoted their "Beautiful, inexpensive, untarnishable Plate, at prices all can afford to pay".

Three metallic kitchenware items: a kettle, a pot, and a steamer (no text or symbols visible)

All in one

The Tower 33L Air Convector Oven fries, bakes and grills, providing you with a versatile appliance that works just like a conventional oven but takes up half the space. Featuring a compact design, this appliance will fit in any kitchen. Adjustable temperature between 60 and 230 degrees means your meals will always be cooked to perfection and accessories including a rotisserie fork and handle mean you're covered for every culinary eventuality.

As well as baking and grilling Tower 33L Air Convector Oven works as an air fryer and a convection oven.

1961 Tower became one of the largest manufacturers of aluminium holloware, electric kettles, tea pots and other household articles with over 1,000 employees.

1974 Russell Hobbs took ownership of the expanding Tower brand.

Towerbrand

Air Frying: Air frying allows you to enjoy the taste of deep fried food, but at only 10% fat, it really is the healthiest alternative. All you need to do is lightly coat the food in oil and the hot air will fry it for you. Air frying uses hot circulating air to cook food that's crispy on the outside and moist inside at higher speeds.

Convection: Using circulating air, the convection oven cooks food quickly, efficiently and uses much less energy than conventional cooking methods. The hot air method of cooking ensures an even distribution of heat around the food. One of the effects of this is that the surface of food, such as meat, is quickly sealed, allowing it to retain the succulence of its original flavour.
