Leading UK kitchen retailer, In-toto, has launched its next generation of true handleless kitchens with the Inline range.

The sleek elegance and timeless contemporary design of In-toto Inline, combines additional cabinet features and dimensions, enabling even more flexibility and planning freedom in the home.

Every element of the Inline is fully co-ordinated, with a continuous handle recess punctuating the front and a seamless finish concealing a superbly functional kitchen beneath.

In-toto designer and store owner Shanti Panchani from Northwood Hills, London, said: “The Inline is the next generation of handleless kitchens, which offers stunning simplicity to any room by bringing an uninterrupted, minimalist finish, which facilitates the latest desire to extend kitchens into a living and dining area.

With two or three drawer combinations and motorised or push open doors available, Inline is available in laminates, lacquers and wood veneers with matching colours, contrasting colours or stainless steel effect. In-toto’s application of the latest technology means its horizontal and vertical rails match the material and colour of the doors to create an even, clean finish.

“While white gloss kitchens continue to be in high demand, the beauty of Inline is its colour options with the likes of stone grey and a complementary slate finish work surface creating a flawless, fully co-ordinated kitchen which brings effortless cleaning and stylish living,” Shanti added.

“The advent of handleless kitchens together with kitchen islands, means an even more streamlined overall finish is possible which can be further enhanced by installing LED lighting between the worktops and the door fronts creating a greater feeling of space and light.”

The Inline brings incredible functionality to a kitchen with an apparent two drawer frontage, which actually gives way to three draws of storage beneath – none of which is visible from the outside.”

The In-toto Inline collection is available from In-toto stores across the UK from £15k plus appliances and worktop.

MENU’s New Steam Tower makes healthy cooking a doddle. 

The tower consists of 5 oven-proof pieces of porcelain that stack neatly in the oven allowing steam to circulate between the dishes; as steam transfers no taste - it is the ideal way to cook fish, meat, vegetables and dessert together.

The Steam Tower works by placing it in the oven over water. When the water turns into steam, the steam circulates around and through the layers cooking the food in the healthiest way leaving the finished dishes succulent and tasty.

Designer Christian Bjørn has been inspired by the Asian kitchen and created what is already on its way to become a Scandinavian classic.
“I have focused on a design that must function on even a professional level - but improved many details to work even better for a modern busy family ” says designer and architect Christian Bjørn.

He has worked closely with Michelin-awarded cook Morten Køster, who has been part of developing the Steam Tower concept.

“Steaming is the natural and most healthy way to cook your food in a way that preserve the vitamins and minerals ” explains Morten Køster, who has tested the Steam Tower and put together the recipe book that comes with it.

Steam Tower; Materials: Porcelain; Designed by: Christian Bjørn for MENU. Priced at £59.

A fashionable return to more traditional kitchen designs, brings a brand new beginning for Mereway Kitchens this summer, with the introduction of a new Revival Shaker style door for their English Revival range.

• “Timber drawers are often seen as the signature of a quality in-frame kitchen and our new in-frame Shaker is no exception.” Comments Ginette Crowther, Marketing Manager for Mereway Kitchens “It will be the first in our English Revival range to feature solid timber dovetail drawer-boxes as standard, as well as the latest fully adjustable soft close runner.”

The new Shaker is just the first in a far broader collection of in-frame products, Mereway Kitchens will be releasing for their English Revival range over the next 12 months.

LG’s new SolarCube microwave enables you to cook healthily and at light-speed.

LG Electronics (LG), a global leading innovator of home appliances, reveals the new SolarCube microwave featuring special Lightwave and steam technology to cook food quickly and healthily.

Simply prepare your food and select the correct setting, to enjoy all the benefits of steam cooking better than ever before. Not only does it keep your meal fresher, it also penetrates your food removing excess fat while locking in those essential nutrients.

The new SolarCube will save up to 40% of energy compared to conventional units, and gives a cooking time that is three times faster.

Coupled with the clever steam technology, the SolarCube uses Lightwave technology, where powerful halogen lights cook the outside layers of your food as well as the inside. This innovative feature means that your meal will be ready in minutes while staying moist, tender and bursting with flavour.

How the technology inside the SolarCube microwave works:

• Lightwave – this technology uses powerful halogen bulbs to cook the outside of the food like a conventional oven, as well as penetrating the inside of the meal ensuring it is perfectly cooked in the middle, as well as being crispy on the outside. All in the speediest way you can imagine!
• Steam- Steam is by far the healthiest way to cook, it locks in all of the essential nutrients we need while even removing excess fat.
  You can switch the steam on and off when needed and even combine it with the oven and grill modes for food that tastes super fresh.
• Taste Saver – this feature will keep your food warm and in pristine condition for a whole 90 minutes.
• Easy cleaning – steam cooking makes cleaning the microwave much easier, simply wipe the inside of the microwave after cooking, and you can even take advantage of the automatic drying, which you can set to kick in after steam cooking meal

For more information on the new SolarCube microwave, please visit the LG Electronics website.
