Ovenu, the UK\u2019s largest oven cleaning franchise, is offering schools the chance to claim \u00a311,000 worth of Gredi-Boxes \u2013 an innovative product developed to make school cooking lessons more affordable and accessible.<\/p>\n

It removes the need for parents to buy full-sized packs of ingredients like flour and sugar for cooking lessons, allowing pupils to take pre-measured, exact quantities, which also reduces food waste.<\/p>\n

In addition, the Ovenu-designed Gredi-Box, which normally retails for \u00a318.99, does away with the burden of having to carry multiple containers of ingredients to school<\/p>\n

The giveaway seeks to support schools in teaching pupils essential life skills like cooking and baking, while easing the financial burden on families who would otherwise need to buy full-sized ingredient packs – ensuring every pupil can fully participate.<\/p>\n

The Gredi-Box, made of hygiene-grade materials, consists of three main sections \u2013 one for pre-prepared items, a section to keep ingredients fresh and dry, and a durable deep lid allowing the finished dish to be safely stored on its homeward journey.<\/p>\n

It also includes 100 self-seal mini-bags for small quantities of solids or liquids, together with four 100ml bottles, two of which are ideal for transporting egg yolks and whites.<\/p>\n

Rik Hellewell, the founder and managing director of Ovenu, said: \u201cWe\u2019re pleased to launch this initiative to help schools inspire the next generation of cooks and bakers. It\u2019s an essential life skill that teaches responsibility, creativity, and nutrition \u2013 abilities that are under threat as more young people and families turn to takeaways for convenience.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of our main objectives is to save parents hundreds of pounds during the three years pupils are required to attend cooking classes. Taking a few minutes weighing and measuring the correct quantity of items at home, that are probably already in the kitchen cupboard, will save parents an awful lot of money.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a process that encourages children to get more involved in food preparation, promoting healthier and more affordable eating habits while saving valuable time during cooking lessons. I hope this initiative brings a small but meaningful benefit to both schools and families.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ovenu is giving away 600 Gredi-Boxes – in cases of 20 – on a first come-first served basis. Schools can collect a maximum of five cases by arrangement from its headquarters in Wokingham, Berkshire.<\/p>\n

For schools further afield, delivery can be arranged at a modest courier fee of \u00a315 for the first case and \u00a310 for each additional case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
