*Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR).

Hi Tony,

• Thermapen, the UK’s #1 food thermometer, has created the first 4hr real time ASMR* Christmas cookery guide 
• Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) describes the relaxing sensations many people – thought to number in the millions – experience in response to certain visual or auditory triggers 
• Thermapen have teamed up with the help of psychologist and ASMR expert Dr Giulia Poerio to help all nervous chefs feel relaxed about cooking up the perfect #JuicyBird this year
• In a bid to reduce food waste this Christmas, the ASMR turkey video helps anxious chefs prepare the Christmas meal, because this Christmas, dry turkey’s will result in a quarter (24%) of Brits throwing their bird away

With the help of ASMR, Thermapen is calling on Brits to cut the stress with its new ultra-sensory cookery video. It seems we’re a nation of anxious chefs, so this Christmas Thermapen has teamed up with ASMR expert Giulia Poerio to create a video that shows an entire Christmas meal being prepared, with stimulating visual and auditory ASMR triggers to help all nervous chefs feel relaxed about cooking up the perfect #JuicyBird this year.Think of a crispy, juicy turkey being sensuously sliced with a sharp blade; or the slow, smooth scraping of metal on a parsnip … Well, we have created a video that involves just that. It’s the M&S ad of cookery videos.

 

Our breathy narrator slowly talks the viewer through how to get the perfect #JuicyBirdon their table this festive season in a gentle whisper, capturing every bubble, carve and baste in alluring ASMR detail. 

 

Thermapen’s research also found: 

 

• 58% of Brits find Christmas stressful
• ASMR is the 2^nd most searched term on YouTube worldwide
• Nearly half of us (46%) don’t know how to cook a succulent turkey
• Over a third (35%) of Brits find cooking Christmas dinner ‘extremely stressful’, with under-cooking being a huge concern for at-home cooks on the big day
• This Christmas, dry turkeys will result in a quarter (24%) of Brits throwing their bird away, and 38% of us eating something completely different on Christmas day 

 

We have a 30 second, 60 second and 3hr video of the AMSR #JuicyBird cooking; tips, advice, quotes and interview time with Dr Giulia; and high-res imagery. Please do let us know if this video or the tips are of interest.
