When the heat is on
The Internet of Things is not yet so advanced that you can tell your iPad what you fancy for dinner and find your perfectly cooked meal ready for you in your oven as you walk through the door.
However, illustrious kitchen appliance brand De Dietrich has developed cutting-edge cooking technology that does the next best thing. Its most sophisticated innovations are to be found in its Premium Collection. The DOP1190 W, for example, is an oven that comes with an Intelligent Control System that allows cooks to select from numerous commonly used recipes. Once the recipe is chosen, electronic sensors in the oven automatically determine the best way of cooking it, for how long and at what temperature. Meanwhile, you can attend to other pressing concerns.
A fan cooking option allows different dishes to be cooked simultaneously on various shelves while keeping the aromas and flavours separate, so a hearty savoury dish won’t overpower a delicate dessert. In addition, the low-temperature cooking feature on the fan cooking mode is a De Dietrich innovation that electronically controls the cooking parameters to ensure that food such as meat retains all its juices. By moderating the power from one to four, the biogrill allows grilling with the door closed and can execute finishing touches such as browning almonds or caramelising creme brulees. Further accessories, such as a rotisserie, are available.
And there’s good news for whoever has to clean up the cook’s mess. Pyroclean technology carbonises the dirt to ash, while the new Pyro-Turbo circulates the air during the cleaning cycle to reach right into grubby corners. Also in the Premium Collection, the DOM1195GX combines all the operations of a multifunction oven, microwave and combi microwave oven into one appliance. Using the oven and microwave oven functions together will cut the cooking time of a traditional roast by half. The microwave allows the cooking of two large dishes simultaneously and also has an intelligent cooking programme for up to 10 dishes.
Technology this stylish is bound to come well dressed. The Premium Collection is offered in two colour schemes: Grey Pearl and White Pearl. Both are encased with chrome elements for a distinctive finish.
