Cooking

  • Branded technology

    AeroTech™

    Every shelf should give the same result. A dish on the top shelf finishes as perfectly as one below — crisp exteriors, tender interiors, consistency without shelf-watching. Even heat distribution across every shelf position, refined over generations of oven engineering. AeroTech™ circulates hot air evenly through the whole cavity.

  • Branded technology

    ActiveVent™

    Crispness is a question of moisture. Crisp exteriors balanced with tender interiors — pastry that shatters, roasts that stay succulent. Works in concert with AeroTech™ airflow as one managed cooking environment. ActiveVent™ controls how and when humidity leaves the oven cavity.

    Steam Cooking Technology

    The gentlest cooking is often the most precise. Nutrients, colour and texture are preserved while temperatures hold remarkably steady. Steam conducts heat around eight times more efficiently than convection — the science behind Mastery of Temperature. Advanced steam-release and humidity control deliver precisely managed moisture to the cavity.
