Here’s a first from Siemens - an oven with a built-in lift!

Now you may not have been hankering after a lift for your oven - but once you see it in action, you realise what a clever idea the Liftmatic really is.

The Liftmatic oven is wall-mounted, you simply press a button to open it, and the food is automatically lowered allowing unobstructed access from three sides - so you can say goodbye to those nasty burns from the oven door.

Owning a liftmatic oven is energy efficient too - when open, the rising heat is trapped within the oven rather than escaping through an open door. Another great advantage of the design is that it’s really easy to clean - especially with Siemens’ self-cleaning PyroClean system.

So if your kitchen needs a lift - the LiftMatic might just be the answer.

This ultra-modern looking built-in steam oven from Siemens is the latest thing in healthy eating. Ideal for cooking fresh foods like fish, vegetables and rice, Siemens claim that this steam oven retains all the flavours, colours and nutrients more effectively than a conventional oven.

To cook, simply choose one of five temperature options from 50 to 100 degrees C, with the touch controls on the glass facia. Water is pumped into the heating dish - achieving a full 100 degrees in only six minutes, to cook your food in the steam atmosphere.

This steam oven rejoices in the name HB24D561GB (yes seriously!). More usefully, the oven also has a child lock so it can’t be opened by the little ones.

If you fancy an HB24D561GB of your own, they’re available from Siemens stockists nationwide for around £600.
