The following post is brought to you by Signature Kitchen Suite. Our partners are hand-picked by the Design Milk team because they represent the best in design.
Kitchen technologies have considerable potential to streamline the way we cook, the variety of foods we eat, and even the ingredients we may keep on hand. Luxury kitchen appliance maker Signature Kitchen Suite understands the comprehensive role that food, and the ritual of preparing it, plays in our overall well-being. Nuanced in the culinary arts, science, and technology, the brand promises an exciting future for food and the joy that comes with it. Homeowner’s can now discover new tools and tap into regularly updated resources for unfettered inspiration and regular experimentation.
Guided by a “True to Food” approach, the Signature Kitchen Suite’s recently launched Transitional Series showcases a variety of industry-leading developments that harness the power of technology to bring home chefs closer to their food. This collection opts for understated luxury with its satin stainless-steel finish, slim, straight handles, and touch screen functionality for a sleek surface rid of dials across wall ovens, induction cooktops, a dishwasher, refrigeration, and ventilation. What’s more, users are able to capitalize on the benefits from LG ThinQ™-enabled appliances, which includes tracking statuses, customizing settings, and proactive care to avoid potential maintenance issues.
Chill Out
Proper preservation is perhaps the first step in ensuring integrity of ingredients and freshness of food through its finish. The 30-inch Integrated Column Refrigerator is an example of what could be your kitchen’s first line of defense in protecting the flavor and nutrients prior to preparation. Meats, fruits, vegetables, and the likes are housed in an 18-cubic-foot environment – arguably the largest capacity in the industry – that maintains a strict temperature within a 1° F fluctuation from the desired setting. In addition to smart connectivity are other purposeful pieces of hardware that bolster its thoughtful design. Things like Lift and Go™ Bins and Drawers offer an incredibly versatile interior complemented by LED Signature Lighting that is focused on the food while shielded from shining in one’s eyes. The same level of precision, space, and care can be found in the matching 30-inch Integrated Column Freezer as well. No more ice crystals on soups, ice creams, or other frozen foods.
Beverage enthusiasts, from wine to soda pop, can enjoy the convenience of undercounter and specialized refrigeration outside the kitchen in a variety of formats including the 24-inch Undercounter Convertible Refrigerator/Freezer Drawers. Two drawers offer six modes to transform each section to fit your needs by selecting from programs Pantry, Fridge, Bar, Seafood, Meat, or Freezer. The 24-inch Built-in Undercounter Wine Refrigerator is made equally versatile in its own right with Wine Cave Technology™, which protects up to 41 bottles from vibration, light, and variations in temperature and humidity. Owners of corresponding appliances like the larger 18- or 24-inch Integrated Column Wine Refrigerator may link all counterparts through the ThinQ™ App. Any combination of the grouping can communicate about the broader wine collection being stored and assist in managing inventory with photos of labels and notes of shelf placement all the while learning your preferences in order to make informed recommendations.
The Perfect Finish
Every seasoned cook could use a sous chef. Signature Kitchen Suite invites you to utilize transformative technologies, like Gourmet AI™ – available on the Transitional Series Wall Ovens – paired with their ThinQ™ App, as an assistant in exploring fresh culinary frontiers. “Our consumer expects more than hardware – they also are looking for solutions that enable their digital lifestyle and simplify their life,” says Michael Magnani, Director of Product Planning. “The ultimate goal is to deliver meaningful cooking experiences that leverage the full capability of the oven hardware and our digital intelligence for the best results. We look at the entire cooking process to have the most optimal interaction between food and the oven hardware at the various stages of the process.”
Three core oven features can be credited for helping home chefs achieve memorable culinary performances: Steam-Combi cooking for restaurant-quality meals; steam sous vide for gourmet delights that range from moist and tender to crisp and flaky; and air fry for crunchy hors d’oeuvres without the fuss. Need help deciding? The oven’s built-in camera allows Gourmet AI™ to identify ingredients through a food recognition system and enables the Auto Cook™ function to set the oven properly for the optimum end result of your choosing. And because everyone enjoys a different level of doneness or finish to things like meats and baked goods, users can personalize their own recipe library.
The 30- and 36-inch Flex Induction Cooktops pair well with the range of Transitional appliances, extending both the visual language and smart connectivity. Users may monitor the on/off status of the cooktop elements from their mobile device using the ThinQ™ App and combine it with the 36-inch Insert Hood letting the two devices communicate with each other so the elements and fans are synchronized.
After-party
As brunches, dinner parties, and late-night snacks come to a close, the Powersteam® Stainless Steel Dishwasher is there to make cleanup a lot easier. A slew of features including QuadWash™ Pro and Dynamic Heat Dry™ can get the contents table ready in as little as an hour – all at the command of your smart device. Remote monitoring and remote start provide an additional layer of ease atop convenience when on-the-go or tucked in bed. And the EasyRack™ Plus system provides flexibility and customization that makes loading the machine surprisingly satisfying.
Near future-proofed, human-centric smart homes are closer than we think, especially with the announcement of ThinQ™ UP, an additional set of features expanding applicable Signature Kitchen Suite appliance capabilities through the existing app. Devices can now evolve according to user lifestyle habits with each download in a forward motion toward culinary personalization. “We believe that our consumers want to be engaged when they choose to spend time cooking, and that they enjoy cooking,” Magnani adds. “Our goal is to provide great tools and solutions that deliver meaningful experiences with exceptional results.”
