Special initiative for LG ProBake Convection range

Posted on by

LG Electronics USA, in collaboration with BuzzFeed’s Tasty, important social food network, celebrated the National Cookie Day with a first-of-its kind subscription-based cookie baking kit program. The exclusive co-branded cookie kits make baking easier than ever with Tasty-approved seasonal recipes designed to be baked in LG ovens and ranges featuring the brand’s exclusive ProBake Convection® technology that delivers even baking results on every rack, every time.
Created with the intention of bringing professional-level results to every household, the two brands have launched the “LG | Tasty Cookie Club,” offering seasonal cookie baking kits – Tasty’s first-ever food-based subscription box. Each kit includes step-by-step recipe instructions, precisely proportioned organic, natural ingredients, as well as stylish cooking tools that can be used long after the cookies have cooled.
When prepared with the “Official Oven of the Tasty Kitchen,” LG ProBake Convection – the brand’s gold standard in convection technology – users can enjoy more precise baking results in less time compared to traditional baking. Inspired by pro-style ranges, LG ProBake moves the heating element from the bottom of the oven to the back wall along with a fan that circulates the warm air for optimal heat distribution and faster cooking times compared to a conventional oven.
Consumers have the option to purchase a stand-alone cookie kit or a year-long, quarterly-delivered subscription, both of which are shippped directly to consumers’ doorsteps. Creations to choose from are the “Ultimate Gingerbread House Cookie Kit” for winter, “Unicorn Pinwheel Swirl Cookie Kit” for spring, “Everything but the Oven Chocolate Chippy Cookie Kit” for summer, and the “Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice Cookie Sandwich Kit” for fall.
Consumers purchasing qualifying LG ProBake range-ovens or built-in wall ovens through the month of December will receive a complimentary year-long cookie kit subscription.

GE Appliances Shuts The Door On Odor With Revolutionary New UltraFresh Front Load Washer

Posted on by

The laundry team at GE Appliances, a Haier company, announced a new, revolutionary laundry system designed to help prevent the biggest complaint in front load washers. The UltraFresh Front Load washers, engineered to stay fresh and clean, use first-of-its-kind technology to help prevent the growth of odor-causing bacteria without the need for owners to wipe down their machine or leave the door open after each load.

The revolutionary new UltraFresh Front Load washer from GE Appliances is engineered using first-of-its-kind technology to shut the door on odor.
The revolutionary new UltraFresh Front Load washer from GE Appliances is engineered using first-of-its-kind technology to shut the door on odor.
Front load washing machines were designed for high-efficiency operation – they use the least water and energy, are gentler on clothes and have more capacity; however, 46 percent of consumers say that mold or odor is their top frustration when it comes to considering front load washers and many do not want to leave the door open to avoid the problem. In fact, one in two front load owners move back to top load washers because of smell and associated maintenance.

“Consumers are searching for solutions and coming up with ways to put a bandage on the issue, like cleaning the washer after each use, wiping down the gasket and most commonly propping the door open,” said Peter Pepe, Vice President, Product Management for laundry at GE Appliances. “Our new UltraFresh Front Load washer is the first in the industry to solve for the issues that lead to stink, making care and maintenance along with laundry chores much easier for the consumer.”

GE Appliances dedicated two-and-a-half years to innovation and testing to create a built-in solution to Drain, Dry and Defend.

Drain the residual water: Moisture is the enemy when it comes to keeping a washer fresh and clean. GE Appliances developed a wider gasket that is angled to allow water to fully drain after the wash cycle.
Dry while keeping the door closed: The new UltraFresh Vent System with OdorBlock™ creates a revolutionary new airflow at the touch of a button. After the wash cycle, the unit pulls in and circulates fresh air, removing moisture from the door, gasket and basket.
Defend with exclusive Microban® technology: The global leader in antimicrobial additives and odor control solutions developed a unique antimicrobial technology exclusively for the GE UltraFresh Front Load washers. Microban’s technology is built into the gasket, dispenser and pump during manufacturing to help prevent the growth of odor-causing bacteria in parts of the washer where moisture could linger.
The new UltraFresh Front Load washers also introduce a variety of exciting features driven by consumer data and insights to make laundry easier and more enjoyable, including:

New Colors: Two new matte finishes – Satin Nickel and Sapphire Blue – join White and Diamond Gray to meet changing consumer color preferences. Matte finishes are at the forefront of design and help to create laundry rooms that no longer get banished to basements.
SmartDispense: Holds an entire bottle of liquid laundry detergent and senses the weight and fibers contained within each load, releases the perfect amount of detergent to do the job— without the mess of measuring or the need to store the bottle. Fill it and forget it for up to 32 loads.
Flexible Doors: Both the washer and dryer doors can be reversed to adapt to each laundry room’s configuration, making load-out and load-in to the dryer easier.
Large Capacity: holds more pants, towels and bedding with larger capacity offered in a shallow footprint.
Dynamic Balancing Technology (dBT)™: New balancing technology in the machines keeps cycles quiet and efficient by proactively sensing balanced loads before accelerating spin speeds.
Smart: UltraFresh Front Load washers and dryers are WiFi connected allowing for a remote start – so clothes don’t sit all day waiting to be moved from the washer to the dryer. Washer Link connects to the dryer to automatically modify cycle settings based on the most recent wash cycle completed.

Beko presents its latest additions to the cooking range. The first launch is the induction hob HII63200FHT with 3 cooking zones: a double compatible with pots and pans of greater or lesser size and the IndyFlex ® zone that groups two square cooking zones allowing them to operate independently or together as a single larger one. It has an overflow safety function and automatic shutdown.

For those who prefer to cook with gas, the new HILW75222SL is a plate of 5 glass fires with wrought iron supports. Among the 5 fires stands out the high-power wok burner that is located in the center of the plate and with which you can cook quickly without decreasing food nutrients.

In this line, Beko adds to its cooking range a second gas plate: the HILL7522S, has a new configuration that leaves the wok burner placed on the left , giving it greater autonomy.

Both plates have self-ignition integrated in the control and a safety valve in burners, so that if the flame accidentally goes out the gas outlet is automatically interrupted to avoid leaks.
