COOK UP A FEAST

The ovens retain a classic facade accented with rotary knobs, are available in a larger capacity (73 litres), and boast an array of new features such as the Drying function, which allows you to dehydrate your own produce to create dried fruits, vegetables and more.

Also new: the French Patisserie mode and Sabbath Function (selected models). With the former, you can try your hand at classic French pastries and desserts—simply pull up one of 14 recipes with a tap of a button. The latter allows the oven to function independently for up to 75hrs, so you can perfect slow-roast dishes. De Dietrich has also introduced new interfaces for more intuitive access to all functions.

The induction hobs here are truly something to behold. Breaking new ground in the area of zoneless cooking, De Dietrich introduces its new horiZone Play design, which builds on its horiZone modular cooking space concept and allows for multiple cooking methods with a single hob; just affix a specialised grill or plancha accessory (sold separately) for endless cooking options. Further expanding the functionality of the hob is a complimentary cutting board that can be fitted on.

The hobs feature upgrades in technology too. Ensuring maximum heat efficiency, the horiZone zones come with an innate capacity for adjustments, which means you don’t need to worry about your pots or pans not aligning well to the electromagnetic fields. Plus, the ICS feature recommends the bestsuited zone for any given pot/pan. The new digital keypad also allows for more precise power adjustments, with a white LED display providing optimum legibility. De Dietrich has even incorporated safety features such as Clean Lock, which blocks all commands for one minute while you clean.
