So, with steam ovens representing a newly energised culinary discovery for the modern kitchen, what’s set to be the next advent in premium kitchen appliance trends?
“As peoples’ lives become increasingly busy, blast chillers are going to become much more of a feature of modern residential kitchens,” says Lauren.
“A bit like steam ovens, these are already in use in commercial settings, but premium appliance manufacturers have perfected them for the home kitchen in recent times. As a result, it is becoming ever-easier to pre-prepare weekly meals, seal the food in vacuum bags and place in the blast chiller, which will take the food down to -15° C in less than 15 minutes in order to preserve nutrients and absolute freshness.”
Lauren says that food prepared and stored in this way remains fresh for incredibly long periods of time, with no discernible degradation of flavours or nutrients. Then, when desired, reheating in a gentle steam oven like the one dinner has been cooked in tonight ensures a meal that’s as good as if it had been cooked from scratch that evening and is on the table in no time.
“We’re all time poor these days, and this technology is designed to ensure families manage to gather some of that time back. We’re here to ensure that choosing to adopt these amazing technologies isn’t an intimidating process, but rather an enlightening one.”
It certainly has been that. And very tasty, too.
