Hotpoint has teamed up with Jamie Oliver for the Eat Your Fridge Challenge.
Hotpoint joins with Jamie Oliver in Eat Your Fridge campaign
The campaign is encouraging consumers to participate in seven days of being more mindful when it comes to cooking and committing to throwing away zero edible food waste.
To help Jamie Oliver has created recipes, tips and food hacks designed to help consumers look at food waste in a new light.
Electrolux smart ovens
Remotely or with a voice command, the new ovens help prepare the perfect dinner, controlling all settings in total autonomy to ensure extraordinary results every day.
The integrated CookView® camera of the SteamPro oven transmits images in real time on any mobile device to control cooking the dishes, alerting you when the process is over and the food is cooked to perfection.
To create new dishes and live new experiences, the exclusive VarioGuide recipe book , containing from 180 to 260 preset recipes, indicates the ingredients to buy and the steps to be performed, allowing you to easily prepare Chef’s dishes. Moreover, with the Electrolux ovens it is possible to cook the whole menu flow in half the traditional time: the larger internal cavity and the new UltraFanPlus ventilation system , in fact, allow you to cook up to three levels simultaneously, without fear of mixing flavors and smells.
And to make the preparation of a perfect dinner even more magical, the Connected Cooking personal assistant starts cooking, sets and adjusts the best program for each food, via remote connection or voice command thanks to Google Assistant , leaving more free time for to chill out. Moreover, with the new Innit Platform Connected Food application , it is possible to personalize each recipe of your meal, to experiment with new flavors and ingredients, adapting them also based on nutritional objectives: a complete experience between taste and connectivity that saves time and spend unique moments in the kitchen.
Electrolux innovations are not just about the smart home: ovens are a real ally in the kitchen thanks to the many functions that help the user in every phase, ensuring perfect performance every time. The Steamify® technology makes the creation of healthy and extraordinary dishes easier and more intuitive, whatever the level of difficulty of the recipe. Through the Touch Control interface , it is possible to select the dish to be cooked and the type of cooking desired and the oven automatically combines the most suitable amount of steam, enhancing the taste and flavor of each ingredient. And to satisfy even the most demanding palates, with perfect cooking like in the best restaurant, the integrated FoodProbe temperature sensor measures the temperature directly at the core of the food with absolute precision and, once the desired cooking has been completed, emits a sound signal that automatically interrupts it.
The oven with integrated connectivity is available in the new MATTE RANGE line , distinguished by a completely matt finish, ideal to fit with elegance in the most modern and sought-after kitchens
Roomba i7 + empties itself
Roomba i7 + is able to empty the tank by itself thanks to the Clean Base. When the cycle is finished, the “cleaner” returns to the recharging base and automatically empties the dirt collected inside the base thanks to a technology that we believe in the future can be adopted by many.
The station is able to contain in a bag the equivalent of 30 full containers of Roomba (0.4 liter capacity each) and notify the owner via App when the time for replacement has arrived.
Thanks to the Imprint Smart Mapping technology , the robot memorizes the plan of the house with the particularity of being able to assign a name to each room and customize the cleaning cycles (supported up to 10 maps, for moving to different floors or houses). Roomba i7 + works both with voice commands and with the iRobot Home application (available for iOS and Android).
Colin Angle, president and CEO of iRobot. He said: ” The new Roomba i7 + is faithful to the” vision “of the robot vacuum cleaner that we had almost 20 years ago, when we started the design process of the Roomba range “.
The navigation takes place with iAdapt 3.0 and vSLAM technology, the model remembers where it has already passed and moves smoothly around the perimeter of the house, it also adapts to any micro-changes in the home.
Roomba i7 + stands out thanks to the two counter-rotating brushes, these work together to effectively clean both the rugs and all kinds of floors. The first brush raises the dirt while the second one rotates in the opposite direction to pick it up. Unlike bristles, which can bend and disperse dust, the flexible silicone brushes adhere to the floor to capture both small particles, such as fine dust and dirt, and hair, pet hair and crumbs, even large ones.
Roomba i7 + automatically adjusts the height of the cleaning head so that the two brushes can accurately adhere to the surface and can recognize areas that need deeper cleaning.
