Smeg’s innovative Omnichef is a game-changer when it comes to convenient cooking with style
QUIET INTUITION
Smeg’s Omnichef is a sleek, three-in-one oven that quietly does a lot behind the scenes. By combining traditional, steam and microwave cooking, it cuts down on clutter and speeds things up in the process. Think 30-minute roast chicken without compromising on fl avour or texture. With over 150 auto programmes, it suggests the ideal time, temperature and steam levels for whatever you’re cooking – no guesswork needed. A built-in probe monitors the internal temperature, then switches off when it’s just right. And with a roomy interior and even heat distribution, you’re sorted for even the biggest Sunday roast.
