How Hot Technologies Can Improve Your Kitchen

by

vefsie304pssModern technology is improving every facet of our lives and the kitchen is no exception. By carefully outfitting your kitchen, your appliances can be safer, more efficient and give you versatility and precision as a home chef.

One technology, which has been popular in Europe for years but is still relatively new to the US, is induction cooking which uses electromagnetic energy to heat foods quickly and precisely.
Like a gas burner, an induction cooktop or range-top surface can handle the rapid shifts in heat settings required in a busy kitchen. And because the burner does not heat unless cookware is detected, ventilation can operate more efficiently.

Other efficiencies in induction cooking are exemplified in such appliances as the new 36” Induction 5-Zone Cooktop from Verona, which includes a fast boil setting for rapid cooking as well as a low power setting for delicate meals. A pan detection system saves energy by sensing the size and shape of cookware and intelligently heating only the needed cooking area. Features like a residual heat indicator and an automatic shut-off in case of spillage make cooking with this induction cooktop safer, too. Verona also makes a 30” induction cooktop and 30” induction range.

“Because induction cooking offers the most direct heat transfer of any cooking surface and features unprecedented safety benefits, it’s become the modern standard for kitchens today,” says Melissa Haber, director of sales and marketing for EuroChef USA.

Consumers looking to upgrade their kitchens in the future will enjoy even more choices, as new induction ranges are introduced, which offer a wealth of features like a rotisserie, warming drawer, power boost burners and a multifunction convection oven.

If you are still cooking with old school appliances in your kitchen, you may be working harder than you need to be. When making an upgrade, consider the latest cooking technologies.

Verona 24" 110V Wall Oven

Verona 24″ 110V Wall Oven

Verona Appliances offers the only 110-volt electric ovens for consumers who may not have the option of a typical 220-volt oven. The ovens, which come in both 30” and 24” stainless steel options, only require 20 amps of service, yet perform with all of the power needed for professional results.

The ovens feature electronic controls, convection fan and a 350-degree pre-heat in as fast as 16 minutes. The knobs are chrome, making them durable and easy to clean.

The ovens are equipped with eight functional cooking modes including convection bake and broil, traditional bake and broil, and a useful thaw mode. Each preparation option is unique for achieving the perfect dish every time.

The 3-pane heat resistant glass door effectively traps heat inside of the oven and keeps the door safely cool to the touch.

The closed-door broil makes this a perfect option for smaller homes and apartments, avoiding the excess heat that is released into the home during an open door broiler.

Verona 30" 110v Wall Oven

It’s a safety hazard to use higher voltage appliances in 110-volt environments because when these outlets are overloaded, they can damage appliances or even burn down a home. In addition to the wall ovens, Verona offers a 12” 110-volt electric cooktop with a deluxe black ceramic top.
