Magnifique International Inc. designs kitchen appliances and cookware around a simple idea: replacing coated cooking surfaces with pure clay, glass, and stainless steel. Its co-founders created the company after failing to find convenient, non-toxic appliances, and that search led to a distinctive lineup of kaolin-clay multi-cookers and glass air fryers, including a combo unit that slow-cooks and air-fries in the same dish. Magnifique also develops recipes to show how its cookware fits into everyday meals.
