The lifestyle brand BRUNO is adding a new color, "Charcoal," to two of its popular cooking appliances, the Glass Air Fryer (ガラスエアフライヤー) and the Auto Cook Pot (オートクックポット). Charcoal goes on sale in early October 2026.
New Charcoal Color for Autumn and Winter Living
Charcoal is designed to blend into stylish monochrome interiors and modern kitchens. It also pairs well with the hotel-like and modern interior styles that have been gaining popularity in recent years, giving kitchens and dining areas a unified, refined look.
With its calm color and polished appearance, the appliance blends into the space as if it were part of the room, helping to create a comfortable environment that doesn't look overly lived-in. It is easy to adopt regardless of gender or age, so it works well when shared with a partner, and it is also a good choice as a gift for a new start in life or a wedding.
Charcoal also goes well with seasonal autumn and winter dishes such as warm soup, gratin and baked sweet potatoes. It looks good in a Halloween table setting, too, adding a subtle touch to everyday life.
Two Cooking Appliances for Everyday Meals
Glass Air Fryer (ガラスエアフライヤー)
From toasting bread to grilled fish, grilled dishes, fried foods and reheating store-bought side dishes, the Glass Air Fryer handles a wide range of Japanese and Western dishes.
It comes with 12 preset menus, so even first-time air fryer users can cook with ease. Everyday dishes such as grilled fish and meat are simple to prepare, which is handy on busy days.
The glass basket makes it easy to check on the food while it cooks, and it is also easy to clean. When not in use, it folds up compactly for storage, so it fits even in a small kitchen.
Auto Cook Pot (オートクックポット) 0.6L / 1.0L
Just add chopped ingredients and press a button to get smooth potage or soup with a restaurant-style texture.
It is a popular appliance for busy dual-income households, people living alone, families raising children and anyone who wants to make daily meals easier.
Soups and potages that bring out the flavor of vegetables are easy to make, so it is also useful on days when you want one more dish on the table or for a health-conscious diet.
It comes in two sizes to suit different lifestyles and household sizes, and it can be used for everything from daily meals to baby food.
Recommended Autumn and Winter Recipes to Enjoy with Charcoal
Fluffy baked sweet potatoes, hearty tonjiru pork miso soup, piping-hot gratin and autumn sweets: this is the season when warm dishes become especially appealing. With the Auto Cook Pot and the Glass Air Fryer, you can easily make everything from dishes for the everyday table to reward sweets for time at home.
They also suit a regular family dinner and Halloween-season entertaining. Here are the recommended recipes.
Pumpkin and Carrot Potage with the Auto Cook Pot
A potage that brings out the gentle sweetness of pumpkin and carrot, well suited to autumn and winter. With the Auto Cook Pot, you simply add the chopped ingredients and press a button to get a smooth, easy-to-drink potage.
Its vivid orange color brightens the table, and it works for breakfast and lunch as well as Halloween-season menus. It is a dish the whole family can enjoy as the weather turns chilly.
Hearty Tonjiru Pork Miso Soup with the Auto Cook Pot
The "Simmer" (煮込み) menu is available only on the Auto Cook Pot 1.0L.
This hearty tonjiru (豚汁, pork miso soup) is full of root vegetables and the flavor of pork, and it warms both body and mind. Because you can enjoy the texture of potatoes, burdock root, daikon radish, carrots and more, even one bowl is satisfying.
The "Simmer" (煮込み) menu heats the ingredients slowly while keeping their texture, so the pot can easily make not only potage but also hearty soups like tonjiru. A touch of ginger and garlic adds an accent, making this a comforting dish for chilly days.
Baked Sweet Potato with the Glass Air Fryer
With the Glass Air Fryer, you can easily make baked sweet potatoes with the sticky texture you would find at a specialty shop. Slow cooking draws out the natural sweetness of the sweet potato so you can fully enjoy its flavor.
It works as a treat for adults made with a branded sweet potato, and it is also a good snack for children. It adds to time at home and family gatherings in autumn and winter.
Shrimp Macaroni Gratin with the Glass Air Fryer
The Glass Air Fryer surrounds the food with heat from all sides (360 degrees) and browns the surface until fragrant, which makes it a good fit for gratin.
You can easily enjoy a golden-brown top and melted cheese. Gratin, a dish people crave as the weather gets colder, can also be served as a dish that goes straight to the table.
It suits dinner with family as well as weekend meals and time at home in autumn and winter.
Pumpkin and Maple Baked Cheesecake with the Glass Air Fryer
A baked cheesecake for autumn and winter that balances the gentle sweetness of pumpkin with the richness of cream cheese. It has a moist, smooth texture without being too heavy, and maple syrup poured over the top brings out the aroma and sweetness.
With the Glass Air Fryer, you can easily make proper sweets, not just fried and grilled dishes. Even households without room for an oven can try it, and it suits Halloween-season entertaining and family time at home in autumn and winter.
Recipes made with the Glass Air Fryer and the Auto Cook Pot are published on the recipe page of the BRUNO online shop.
