Food like a real chef with the new Chef Plus microwave oven from Hotpoint

November 21, 2016 – In the hectic pace of modern life, it’s hard to find time for culinary creativity and finding new recipes. Even the most passionate eaters struggle to find a couple of hours to prepare their favorite dishes for dinner with family or friends. The microwave oven is the ideal solution to this problem, because you can prepare delicious dishes without wasting precious time. With the new Chef Plus microwave oven from Hotpoint, microwave food can compete with haute cuisine. Thanks to the exclusive Dynamic Crisp technology, microwave ovens achieve great results – baking, roasting, or grilling is incredibly easy and fast.

Vittorio Galimberti, IBU Vice President EMEA“We are very proud to be the first to develop Dynamic Crisp technology, which fundamentally flips the idea of microwave cooking. The new Chef Plus microwave oven from Hotpoint is a device that makes it easy to cook like a real chef. In doing so, cooking even the most elaborate dishes will require much less time and effort. Our unique Multiwave technology has set new standards for the entire industry. It’s taken microwave cooking to the next level, making it an indispensable kitchen helper.”.

According to Hotpoint’s 2016 Taste Exploration survey,1 an increasing number of people who cook at home are embracing the process as an opportunity to pursue creative ideas. 38% of people enjoy the so-called “prep” phase of cooking, which includes buying ingredients and cutting and processing food. But only 15% of those surveyed said they enjoyed cooking the most.

Vittorio Galimberti, Vice President EMEA, IBU“Every day we’re pushing our boundaries and discovering new ways of cooking. Nevertheless, people still need new technical solutions and ideas to improve the process of everyday cooking,” he explains. With Hotpoint’s new product, this problem has been solved: Chef Plus will help create culinary masterpieces regardless of experience or amount of free time.”.

Appetizing crunchy crust with Multiwave technology

Chef Plus engineers have perfected the Wave Distribution system. This brand new microwave oven has two heat sources, unlike other manufacturers’ models that only have one heat source. The first point of radiation distributes the waves perfectly over the entire space of the oven, affecting the dish from the inside. A second source of the waves precisely directs them towards the Crisp plate area, where the food is cooked, heating it to the highest temperature possible. Thus, with Chef Plus you can cook food with a delicious crispy crust or grill food on both sides, preserving the excellent flavor, aroma, consistency, and health properties of the food.

Delicious, crispy and healthy dishes

Unique Dynamic Crisp technology works in conjunction with the grill and allows you to cook in a variety of modes: from Baking to Grilling to Defrosting. The automatic Crisp Fry function combined with the fan assisted cooking system allows you to cook crispy and crispy breaded fish or chips without adding oil, for a healthier and less calorific meal.

All it takes is 13 minutes instead of 45 and roast beef in less than half an hour instead of an hour for a nice, juicy, creamy casserole or cream pie. Even delicate desserts, such as chocolate cake, will be ready in just 12 minutes.

The perfect dish with Chef Menu

With Chef Menu and 20 pre-set recipes, the microwave is the ideal help in the kitchen when you have limited time to cook. A series of automatic programs guarantee excellent results for all your favorite foods, defrosting and reheating.

Light, healthy meals in the microwave oven with the Steam function

You can prepare tasty meals quickly and without losing the healthy properties of the food, retaining all the vitamins and minerals. So Chef Plus is ideal for cooking vegetables, fish, meat and poultry. The microwave offers a number of improvements, including a new, enlarged steamer that allows you to easily cook large portions. This function can also be used for boiling, so pasta and rice can be cooked to perfection.

Superior defrosting and perfect cooking even with frozen food

Thanks to Dynamic Defrost technology the defrosting process is much faster and previously easy to prepare frozen food in the oven can now be cooked in the microwave with no hassle at all. And with the special Bread Defrost feature, defrosted bread will have a crisp crust and smell like it just came out of the oven. This exclusive feature is a combination of two unique technologies: Dynamic Defrost and Dynamic Crisp. Thanks to Multiwave technology the bread is heated from the inside, while keeping its appetizing crust on the outside.

Steam cleaning without chemicals

Auto Clean System cleans the Chef Plus microwave oven without the use of special detergents. Simply place a container of water inside the oven, press the Auto Clean button, and the process will begin automatically. Then you just need to wipe the surface with a sponge and the microwave will be ready to use again.

Modern, elegant design

The Chef Plus design seamlessly blends form and content to enable effortless, everyday cooking. The microwave’s turntable can operate in a static mode, making the most efficient use of workspace and accommodating square and rectangular dishes. Elegant design with sleek lines, ideal for modern kitchens. Brushed stainless steel and tinted glass body, touch control panel and amber LED display make this microwave oven a joy to use, making it a pleasure to grasp new culinary heights.
