Smart cooking takes centre stage with LG’s smart home vision

-

MUSCAT: Family, food, culture and traditions are key elements that are of central focus during the holy month of Ramadan and now with smart appliances, homemakers are able to take advantage of trendsetti­ng technology to prepare meals that healthy, delicious and perfect for not just a home for today, but for a smart home of the future.

Ramadan is the season whereby people enjoy mouth-watering dishes prepared with a variety of ingredient­s that include dates and fruits, various meats, rice and bread and more. Homemakers cook up the most decadent meals for their family and friends to enjoy during Iftar or Suhoor and now with smart technology, they can be confident that their meals not just look and taste delicious, but are extremely healthy as well.

“Technology has evolved exponentia­lly, even in the kitchen, providing homemakers with smart appliances that are eco-friendly, accessible and can cook up an exceptiona­l meal. We are pleased to offer our latest smart home appliances in the region and provide the tools necessary for consumers to embrace a healthy lifestyle,” said Yong Geun Choi, president of LG Electronic­s Gulf.

One such technology is the ergonomic NeoChef that features a simplified intuitive control interface to streamline operation and a range of hygiene-enhancing features such as Anti-Bacterial Easy Clean that help users keep their ovens as clean as possible.

The NeoChef also packs a number of customised features designed to increase cleanlines­s and streamline the cooking experience. The Anti-Bacterial Easy- clean Coating makes cleaning the microwave interior simple and straightfo­rward.

The microwave’s interior can be thoroughly cleaned twice as fast and with half the effort required for convention­al microwaves. In fact, it takes just three wipes to thoroughly clean the NeoChef while convention­al microwaves typically require seven. The coating also makes it harder for dangerous contaminan­ts to take root, eliminatin­g 99.99 percent of harmful bacteria.

In addition, the NeoChef can be used for melting ingredient­s such as chocolate or cheese and precisely preparing a variety of foods with its specialize­d settings. LG’s advanced microwave can even be used to make healthy, lactobacil­liinfused yogurt more quickly than most home yogurt makers. The microwave’s Healthy Fry feature is even capable of preserving the distinct taste of each dish while making them healthier, with less oil and 72 percent less fat.

Smart cooking provides user- centric solutions in the kitchen for both homemakers and chefs – whether it is for the holy month of Ramadan or any day of the week during the year, smart cooking is all set to redefine the future in relation to cooking healthy meals and saving money. Emerging technologi­es such as smart scales have the potential to track the weight of each ingredient and alert users of the correct measuremen­ts for their recipes. In addition, smart utensils and plates cater to the user’s health and well-being.

In the near future, technologi­cal advances in usability and connectivi­ty will eventually enable appliances to actively interact with other, recommendi­ng recipes from ingredient­s store in the refrigerat­or whilst also providing consumers the option to 3D print their meals – that can potentiall­y result in significan­t cost savings and have a positive impact in people.

LG Digital Neo Chef is available at all leading retail and dealer stores as well as OTE showrooms across Oman.
