Cooking class

Whether cooking for your family or a large dinner party, it can be an arduous chore if you don't have a well-equipped kitchen.

Appliances that are easy-to-use and offer the best in terms of performance will always make preparing meals an enjoyable daily task.

Smeg brings together the best that Italy has to offer in its latest range of kitchen appliances, ensuring time spent in the kitchen is a pleasure, says Smeg trade services manager Julie Muller.

"Italy is recognised as the home of some of the world's top chefs and leading industrial designers. Smeg draws on the talents of both when designing its range of kitchen appliances."

With a Smeg oven, the homeowner is assured they have a quality, low-maintenance product that will not only last for many years but will continue to look good, says Muller.

Smeg's gas hobs are made from the highest-quality, nonmagnetic stainless steel, and are available in a wide range of configurations. Pressed and shaped with no joins, the clean-look hobs are easy to clean. The cooktop components are easily removed for cleaning and are dishwasher safe.

Smeg's sleek-lined appliances complement today's kitchen designs, whether contemporary or traditional.

Muller says Smeg's appliances are traditional in concept, but with contemporary technology and applications that deliver results.

All the cooktops are designed to co-ordinate with other kitchen appliances in the Smeg range. The cooktops are available as a gas or electrical or combination unit.

For chefs who produce meals for large numbers of guests, Smeg has designed the A31X hand-built, professional cooker, and the K7099-ENC cooktop.

These are electric ovens with multi-fuel cooktops. The generous-sized cooktop has six gas burners and one electric hob, providing instant heat for grilling or boiling large quantities of food.

For safety, the gas flow to the burners is automatically cut off if the flame is accidentally extinguished.

In addition to the featured ovens and standard-sized cooktops, Smeg also produces built-in Domino hobs, in single or double cooking units. These are available with gas, electric or ceramic elements.
