LG Electronics has launched a stylish all-in-one oven that integrates both microwave and grill functions; the SolarCUBE oven can cook nutritious meals, up to four times faster than a conventional oven.

This is good news for families and professionals, enabling them to spend less time in the kitchen, providing healthy meals, using half the energy in half the time.

The SolarCUBE oven is unique as it uses a combination of four heat sources including a halogen light, which ensures that the outside is crispy whilst keeping the inside moist and tender, sealing in all the flavours and nutrients:

This stylish new appliance has an oven like cavity, in which even the oddest shaped dishes can be placed.

The three-level rack system also enables consumers to cook several dishes at once.

So simple to operate - the attractive, intelligent controls compliment its sleek exterior, whilst easily guiding consumers through the many cooking options.

LG’s new SolarCUBE is available in black and stainless steel, from Comet stores and other leading independent electrical retailers nationwide.

Design meets technology in the exclusive V-ZUG series Combi Steam SL oven, which is a testament to Swiss craftsmanship and engineering.

Cooking with steam is a long held tradition and the benefits are well documented:

Evenly distributed steam condenses on the food, cooking it gently and retaining the nutrients and flavour that normal cooking methods can so easily remove.

The Gourmet steam function, is an automatic programme that cleverly combines superheated steam and V-ZUG’s distinctive climate control, which effectively controls the steam and prevents food from over heating and drying out.

The Combi Steam SL has a multitude of functions including, an automatic descaling display, food probe and a soft roasting facility, which automatically controls the core temperature of the meat; this means that every cut of meat is perfectly cooked, tender and ready to serve.

Dimensions: 37.9 x 59.6 x 54.8. Chrome finish.
RRP from approx: £1,449.00 plus VAT.

LSY is the exclusive distributor of V-ZUG, the leading Swiss producer and supplier of kitchen and washing appliances.
