Panasonic PRIME+ Edition refrigerator

Professional chefs have been serving up juicy cuts even when working with frozen meats, thanks in part to the superior chilling technology found in commercial kitchens. With Panasonic’s PRIME+ Edition premium line of refrigerators and its game-changing Prime Freeze feature, flash freeze capabilities are now possible at home.

Panasonic’s Prime Freeze system comprises three modes within a single compartment: Rapid Freezing, Quick Cooling and Cool Down.

Rapid Freezing, as its name implies, induces a quick freeze that is five times faster than regular models, says Panasonic. The use of a powerful dedicated airflow duct and aluminium plate accelerates the freezing process, resulting in minimal ice crystals formed within the cellular structure of your produce. This means meat and vegetables are better able to retain their taste, texture and colour.

The benefits of Rapid Freezing go beyond epicurean enjoyment. Not only are more nutrients preserved, one will feel the difference during meal prep. Portion out your desired amount easily every time – flash-frozen meats are easier to handle, and items like berries and cut lettuce will not clump, so salads and smoothies are a cinch to makeFreezing is often the last resort for fried food and bread – the former loses its crunch while the latter gives up its soft, springy chewiness. Rapid Freezing makes this a thing of the past.

By quickly freezing moisture in place, crispy batter does not turn soggy. Bread remains fluffy and chewy after being warmed up, as its natural moisture has been locked in. For time-strapped folks, especially those living alone who have to cook in sizeable portions, Rapid Freezing doesn’t penalise for such reasonable decisions.

With the Quick Cooling mode in Prime Freeze, you can speed up marinating processes – in as little as 15 minutes – as marinades work faster in lower temperatures. Fancy yourself a quick chilled pudding or fruit jelly? The feature works just as well to serve up sweet treats to satisfy last-minute cravings or unexpected guests.

Reversely, Cool Down works to swiftly dissipate heat (up to 70 degree Celsius) so you can handle hot food in a jiffy. This is great for when you’ve got freshly cooked items that you want to store into individual containers for consumption another day – bacterial growth on food is reduced with speedy handling.The Panasonic PRIME+ Edition refrigerators support Prime Freeze with another dedicated compartment – Prime Fresh. The section is set at minus 3 degree Celsius for a soft freezing effect, letting meat and fish stay fresh for as long as seven days, yet be easily thawed for quick prep.

Adding next-level hygiene to your food is Panasonic’s nanoe X technology. PRIME+ Edition refrigerators use nano-sized ions containing 4.8 trillion molecules that inhibit bacteria, suppress odours and even dislodge pesticides on vegetables and fruits so that they can be more easily washed away with water.

With its unique chilling modes and smart design, the Panasonic PRIME+ Edition is more than just a designer addition to your kitchen; it’s a powerful ally to eating better and healthier.

A timeless design

The Infinite design stands out for its harmonious style, the solidity of its materials, its high-end finishes and the elegance of the elements that compose it.

Like other refrigerators in the Bespoke range, the Bespoke Infinite Line refrigerator features a modular design, and can be combined with other models to meet changing consumer needs. The Infinite design reinforces this modularity while maintaining the elegance of the refrigerator, whatever the user’s expectations. The exterior of the refrigerator is made of high quality aluminum, for increased resistance to shocks and scratches while allowing easy wiping of marks on its surface. The interior, bright and neat, has the Black Metal Cooling finish and Tunnel Lightning lighting , thus combining aesthetics and practicality.

Applied to the door and the air duct, the Black Metal Cooling system creates an impression of depth with a decidedly premium look, but also helps keep food fresher longer by quickly returning the cold to the cavity after an opening of door. The Tunnel Lightning lighting on the frame and shelves enhances the appliance while allowing you to clearly see every corner of the refrigerator.

The fridge and freezer offer a combined capacity of 805 liters , while the wine cellar can store up to 101 bottles.

Many features
The new Auto Open Door has a side sensor that instantly opens the door with just a touch . The front of the refrigerator is thus devoid of handle and sports a sleek and sophisticated design.
The AutoFill Pitcher is BPA5 free and dishwasher safe . It easily offers fresh filtered water at any time. The device also has an integrated infuser to create flavored drinks by adding fruit or infusions. Finally, users can have ice at any time thanks to the Dual Auto Ice Maker , which offers a choice of spherical or cubic ice cubes.
Optimal freshness
Thanks to the different storage options offered by the Bespoke Infinite Line, users can store different types of food in optimal conditions, in order to preserve all their flavor and freshness.
The temperature-controlled Flex Pantry drawer allows for quick switching from one pre-set temperature to another according to users’ daily needs. The two preset temperature modes are ideal for preserving a wide range of foods (meat, fish, fruit and vegetables), preserving their natural flavors and textures for longer.

The multifunction wine cellar provides the same level of freshness suitable for storing wine. Equipped with three distinct zones and precise temperature controls, it offers the possibility of simultaneously storing different bottles in ideal conditions.
A line that pushes connectivity to the limit
Connected, this line is childishly easy to use, from storing wine to monitoring electricity consumption.
The SmartThings Sommelier at Home feature simplifies wine storage by analyzing bottle labels and providing information on the best storage conditions. Combined with SmartThings Cooking , it offers the ideal food and wine pairing, just like a real sommelier .
Additionally, with SmartThings Energy , users can track their refrigerator’s power consumption in real time and receive tips on how to limit their carbon footprint and save money.

Montpellier launches new fridge freezer

A new energy-efficient fridge freezer from Montpellier with enhanced features aimed at energy-conscious consumers has been introduced.Montpellier MNF1860 No Frost Fridge Freezer
595mm wide with a 2 year guarantee and has a E energy rating.The MNF1860X is a high-spec fridge freezer which perfectly suits the contemporary home. With crisp, fresh lines, a no frost refrigeration system, Winter Safe -15°c technology, a convertible chill zone, LED lighting, electronic control and chrome trims, its handy features make life more convenient.NoFrost Multi Cooling Technology

NoFrost Multi Cooling Technology differs from a standard No Frost system in that the fridge and freezer each have an independent cooling system. Since there is no transfer of cold air between the fridge and freezer cabinets, NoFrost Multi Cooling provides extra freshness with optimum humidity levels in each compartment. No Frost Technology also means there is less bacteria in the fridge as there is no moisture and also that the cooling and freezing are more evenly distributed so food stays fresher for longer.

As there is no moisture inside the fridge (that occurs naturally in an auto defrost fridge), you won’t find water sitting on the lids of chilled foods like margarine tubs and on shelves. Odour mixing is also prevented, the formation of mildew is limited, plus the flavour of food is maintained for longer. For more information on different types of refrigeration systems, click here.

Winter Safe -15°c Technology

Winter Safe -15°c technology allows the fridge freezer to be used in ambient temperatures of 10°c to -15°c (for example, in a garage or outbuilding in the colder winter months). It works by overriding the thermostat in a ‘super freeze’ function. Winter Safe -15°c will protect food in the freezer from defrosting.

Chill Zone

The convertible chill zone ensures that food inside is preserved at an ideal temperature of around 0°c. Frozen meat and fish can be kept in this compartment for proper thawing before consuming, which will also ensure that it stays fresh for longer whilst also keeping out unwanted odour.

LG to Unveil New Minimalist-Design Appliances at CES 2023Open share list

LG Electronics (LG) is set to introduce a new line of minimalist-design appliances, including a washer and dryer, at CES 2023. Taking a ‘back to basics’ approach, the new range focuses on the essence of each appliance, removing all unnecessary design elements to deliver a timeless, minimalist aesthetic. The distinctive, durable products also reflect LG’s strong commitment to sustainability, featuring recycled materials inside and out and requiring fewer parts and less energy to make than conventional appliances.

Refreshingly unadorned, LG’s minimalist appliances match with any kind of décor, color scheme or interior trend. The lineup’s achromatic color palette and lack of decorative embellishment offers a modern yet classic look that allows the products to blend in seamlessly with their surroundings.

Each model in the new range also features internal and external parts – and ships in packaging – made from recyclable materials.

The new range, which includes a refrigerator, washing machine, dryer, oven range and dishwasher, is also a part of LG’s innovative upgradable appliance lineup, meaning users can add new features to the products via the Upgrade Center in the LG ThinQ™ app.

January 2023 Liebherr will launch the first vacuum perlite refrigerator: BluRoX

Liebher is revolutionising technology in its fridges and freezers, using a vacuum in conjunction with finely ground lava stone, the raw material perlite, to insulate its appliances. The first vacuum perlite models, named BluRoX, will be on the market as early as January 2023. For the very first time, it is possible to produce freezers with the energy efficiency class “A” and “B” in accordance with EU legislation thanks to the innovative technology.

Until now, refrigerators and freezers have been insulated with conventional insulating materials made from petroleum-based polyurethane foam. Instead of these common foam elements, and in a world’s first, BluRoX uses a vacuum in combination with finely ground perlite for insulation.

Due to its crystalline microstructure, the lava stone perlite has a very low thermal conductivity, and the vacuum provides the best possible insulation in terms of energy. As Steffen Nagel, managing director sales & marketing at Liebherr-Hausgeräte explains, «for a family with a 350-litre freezer, the annual power consumption for the appliance could be reduced by up to 20 per cent – This translates into notable savings with steadily rising electricity prices.»

Moreover, the new combination of a vacuum and finely ground lava stone enables a very compact design. Due to the particularly effective BluRoX insulation, Liebherr can design the walls of a BluRoX freezer to be about one third thinner than the walls of a conventional foam-insulated appliance. For an appliance fully equipped with vacuum perlite technology, the result is about 25 percent greater capacity compared to fridges and freezers with the same external dimensions. The FNb 5056 freezer will be the first hybrid model whose door is equipped with BluRoX technology
