Tepan
Household appliances for the kitchenThe mysterious "tepan" hailsfrom Japan and is a special type of grill with a flat (non-fluted) working surface. The main charm of this device is the ability to cook food with minimal use of fats. Embedded tepana cooking surfaces are rectangular or round in shape. They can have one or more heating zones. Available and mobile grills-tepany on roller wheels (search for AEG, Electrolux, Miele).
Aqua-sensor
A system designed to speed up the washing of dishes andsave energy. The essence of it is that the dishwasher uses sensors to continuously monitor the degree of water pollution. As soon as it reaches a critical value, the old water is drained, and the new one is recruited (search for Siemens).
Ice Maker
You need ice for cocktails or for cosmeticmask? Many modern refrigerators are equipped with built-in ice makers - devices for its preparation. Unlike the trivial "molds", where the owner must independently fill the water, the generator can be fully automated - especially if the refrigerator has the ability to connect to tap water and clean it with built-in filters. Ice produced with this unit does not come into contact with air in the refrigerator; therefore, the likelihood that your Margarita will smell like cheese is reduced to zero. Ice makers differ in their performance: in domestic models they can cook 1-2 to 3-5 kg of ice per day (search for Siemens, Küppersbush, Electrolux, Miele, Liebherr, Samsung, Gorenje).
Coolselect zone
This is the name of a special departmentrefrigerator, the operating mode of which depends solely on the wishes of the owner. The required temperature is set by means of a switch on the touch control panel: rapid cooling, thawing, soft freezing, freshness preservation or cooling. Thus, depending on their needs, the owners can instantly "redesign" the CoolSelect Zone (look for Samsung).
AST
Automatic Sensor Technology - AutomaticSensory Technology. To get to the heart of the matter, imagine two cars - one with a mechanical gearbox, the other with an "automatic". The latter is much easier to manage. Technology AST is a kind of "automatic" for the kitchen hood - it allows you to adjust the performance of the device, based on the readings of temperature and humidity sensors. Such an extract itself selects the optimum operating mode and "adds revs" if the concentration of the child above the plate increases. AST increases the efficiency of ventilation in the kitchen and reduces noise. All hoods, which use this technology, can be used and in manual mode (look for Elica).
Burner Wok
Has been specially designed for pans thatused in. Their distinctive feature is a large diameter and a convex hemispherical bottom (Wok means "cauldron" in Chinese). Conventional burners make it difficult to use such cookware. The Wok burners are also more powerful, which allows you to cook even very large quantities of food ultra-fast (look from Gaggenau, Siemens, Miele, AEG-Electrolux).
Recycling
The operating mode of the hood, in which the contaminatedair is not withdrawn from the room, but is cleaned with carbon filters and then thrown back into the kitchen. Most often, recirculation proves to be a compulsory measure when installing hoods in old houses, where it is impossible to divert air to the street. The only problem is that over time filters are dirty - they need to be changed about once every six months. Therefore, reusable washable filters are more convenient, which can be used for several years (look for Elica).
Induction heating plates
They are considered to be the most promising type of burners forcooking hobs. They work by induction currents that arise in the metal casing of the dishes. In this case, the panel itself is heated slightly and only through contact with hot dishes. If you accidentally drop something or spill it - this "something" will not burn. Keep in mind that the bottoms of pots and pans should conduct well. Modern dishware manufacturers always indicate whether their products are compatible with induction heating plates (look for Ariston, Blomberg, Smeg, Electrolux, Gorenje, Ilve, Küppersbush, Miele, Siemens).
Zero zone, freshness zone
For particularly capricious products that needStore at a temperature just above zero, in modern refrigerators installed a separate camera - a zone of freshness. There are several options for this camera, which differ in the degree of humidity and the possibility of its adjustment (look for Siemens, Käppersbush, Electrolux, Miele, Liebherr, Samsung, Gorenje).
Pyrolytic and catalytic cleaning of the oven
The main "problem" of all ovens -the need to periodically clean them. There are two main approaches to solving this problem. The first involves the use of a so-called catalytic enamel - a special coating that absorbs oxygen from the air, and when heated it secrete it, oxidizing the "organic". This greatly simplifies the cleaning of the oven from the fats that the housewife most often has to deal with. However, man is not the only living fat - the catalytic enamel simplifies the cleaning, but not enough to make it a truly enjoyable occupation. A more radical approach is pyrolysis. In the process of pyrolytic cleaning, the oven heats up, like a good oven, to a temperature of +500 ° C. Virtually all pollution is turned to ash. This method is the most convenient, but it requires attention: it is necessary to make sure that there are not any dishes left in the oven that are not designed for such heating (look for Ariston, Blomberg, Smeg, Electrolux, Gorenje, Ilve, Küppersbush, Miele, Siemens). :
