ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Oct. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics USA, the most-awarded kitchen appliance brand,¹ and BuzzFeed's Tasty, the world's largest social food network, have teamed up to make it easier than ever to bake the perfect cookie with Tasty's first-ever food-based subscription box featuring recipes designed to be baked best in LG ovens and ranges featuring the brand's exclusive ProBake Convection® technology.

LG Electronics USA, the most-awarded kitchen appliance brand, and BuzzFeed’s Tasty, the world’s largest social food network, have teamed up to make it easier than ever to bake the perfect cookie with Tasty’s first-ever food-based subscription box featuring recipes designed to be baked best in LG ovens and ranges featuring the brand’s exclusive ProBake Convection® technology.

As the “Official Oven of the Tasty Kitchen,” LG ranges and ovens with ProBake Convection – the gold standard in convection technology - deliver even baking results on every rack, every time and in less time compared to traditional baking.

The Cookie Kits will be delivered quarterly to consumers’ doorsteps and provide everything home chefs need to bake new twists on traditional treats inspired by Tasty, such as the “Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice Cookie Sandwich Kit” for fall, “Ultimate Gingerbread House Cookie Kit” for winter, “Unicorn Pinwheel Swirl Cookie Kit” for spring, and “Everything but the Oven Chocolate Chippy Cookie Kit” for summer.

Through a shared mission of making home tasks easier than ever, the two essential home brands have launched the "LG | Tasty Cookie Club," delivering seasonal cookie baking kits, which include step-by-step recipe directions, perfectly proportioned organic, natural ingredients, as well as stylish, essential cooking tools that can be used long after the cookies have cooled.

As the "Official Oven of the Tasty Kitchen," LG ranges and ovens with ProBake Convection – the gold standard in convection technology - deliver even baking results on every rack, every time² and in less time compared to traditional baking. Inspired by pro-style ranges, LG ProBake moves the heating element from the bottom of the oven to the back wall along with a fan that circulates the warm air for optimal heat distribution and faster cooking times compared to a conventional oven.

The Cookie Kits will be delivered quarterly to consumers' doorsteps and provide everything home chefs need to bake new twists on traditional treats inspired by Tasty, such as the "Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice Cookie Sandwich Kit" for fall, "Ultimate Gingerbread House Cookie Kit" for winter, "Unicorn Pinwheel Swirl Cookie Kit" for spring, and "Everything but the Oven Chocolate Chippy Cookie Kit" for summer.

Consumers purchasing qualifying LG range and ovens with ProBake or built-in wall ovens in November and December receive a complimentary year-long cookie kit subscription³ – just look for LG ovens featuring the "LG | Tasty Cookie Club" hangtags at retail stores nationwide.

"By joining forces with LG to bring ingredients and supplies for baking both inventive and classic desserts right to their doorstep, we can fulfill Tasty's mission of making cooking fun and accessible for home chefs of all skill levels."

As part of the LG and Tasty collaboration, LG and Tasty will launch a series of custom branded videos featuring new recipes with acclaimed restaurateur and Tasty's Executive Chef in Residence, Marcus Samuelsson, as well as Rie McClennny, a fan favorite Tasty Creator, across the BuzzFeed network, tapping into BuzzFeed's massive audience of more than 450 million people globally.
