Smeg’s New freestanding Oven with Induction top

The very best in stove-top performance and oven technology have been combined in the latest Smeg freestanding ovens.

Smeg has released the stainless steel CE91MXA freestanding oven, comprising a 900mm wide five zone induction cooktop and a nine function oven sporting the latest in thermoseal technology.

The cooktop has numerous stand-out features such as its ease of use, its ability to reach an extraordinarily low simmer and its superior energy efficiency (even more so than gas).

Freestanding Oven from Smeg

Induction cooking works via a magnetic field created when a pot or pan of ferrous metal is placed on the cooking zone. This means only the pan is heated and not the surface of the cooktop. The advantages are numerous – much faster heat up times, faster cooking, instant temperature-variation-response via the controls, and a cooler kitchen as there is no heat escaping to the sides of the cooking vessels. Also the Smeg induction cooktop automatically switches off any cooking zone where there is a boil-over or the pan boils dry.

The induction cooktop features scrolling knobs for easy setting, nine heat settings per zone and a residual heat safety flashing light when any cooking zone has reached a surface temperature of above 60°C. In addition, it is extremely easy to keep clean – just a simple wipe over of the perfectly smooth sheet of glass, with no nooks, gaps or angles to attract grease or food.

The fully programmable, 121 litre multifunction oven is truly feature rich – the nine cooking modes including super fan forced (for super fast heat using three elements); fan forced (the most versatile of all cooking modes); rotisserie; baker’s function (bottom heat ensures crisp pastry bases and perfectly cooked custards and quiches); fan grill (for the succulent cooking of even the thickest of steaks); and Eco, low energy slow cook selection (ideal for winter recipes).

Stand out features of the oven are its eight pre-programmed recipes (with two free memories) for dishes such as beef, pork, chicken, fish, vegetables, pizza and cakes plus a fully programmable analogue digital clock to deliver fully automatic and semi automatic cooking whereby the oven can be set to turn on and off in advance.

And to ensure a cooler, safer kitchen the double-glazed, thermo reflective door, together with its forced air door cooling system, ensures the surface temperature never becomes too hot to touch,
and notched trays and shelves mean the shelves are always stable and never pullout too far.

And for sheer convenience the 41 litre, full-width storage compartment beneath the oven is ideal for bakeware, pans and large utensils.

The Smeg CE91MXA is available nationally from all Kitchen Things stores.
