Adventurous cooking
Nowadays, everyone accepts that spending time outdoors has numerous physical and mental health benefits. On the physical level, you absorb more vitamin D. Spending time outside also has mood-enhancing, anxiety-reducing and stress-relieving effects, enhancing and fulfilling our human need for connection, authenticity and the outdoors. “OFYR allows people to come together around a fire. It adds a sense of adventure to cooking. Moreover, the designs are also consistent with my quest for the perfect grill to cook for friends and family in the evening. I firmly believe in aesthetics, which is why I am proud of the timeless design because it works in any type of garden,” Hans says. “And with the latest additions to the range, OFYR has now become a complete outdoor lifestyle concept.”
What makes OFYR so unique? Its iconic shape, with a conical fire bowl perched on a plinth. A round plancha made of high-quality Dutch steel is suspended over the bowl. Its versatile shape means you can use various cooking techniques, while the shape and the warming flames make the OFYR ideally suited for year-round social gatherings. “Our wood-fired cooking units blur the line between chefs and friends, with cooking becoming a joint activity,” Hans says. “They radiate warmth within a radius of up to two metres, making them a cosy place to gather on colder days. Cooking outdoors allows you to use seasonal ingredients and give guests a taste of the story of the location and the season.” This is entirely in line with our current expectations when we visit a hotel or restaurant. For many, it’s all about the experience, with excellent service and exquisite food becoming the standard. Versatile cookers play a crucial role in this evolution, becoming the chef’s best friend and allowing everyone to create an authentic and culinary outdoor experience, stimulating guests’ senses, fuelling curiosity and creating unforgettable memories. Buon appetito!
