Introducing the new gadgets that are guaranteed to simplify your life in the kitchen

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.

BESPOKE BREW
No smart kitchen is complete without a coffee machine that does more than just make a decent espresso. JURA’s Swiss-engineered J10 takes things up a notch, combining cold brew and sweet foam technology in one refi ned, bean-to-cup design. Whether it’s your morning fl at white or a refreshing iced latte with infused milk foam, the J10 delivers 42 customisable drinks at the touch of a screen. Cold brews are gently extracted under pressure for a smoother, more balanced flavour, while a smart cup sensor and one-touch cleaning keep things streamlined. Finished in sleek Piano Black, it’s essentially coffee-shop quality, built for home.

SINK SMARTER
The BORA self-cleaning sink is what happens when clever engineering meets clean design. With water cascading down all four sides at the touch of a button, it sweeps away debris in seconds, leaving behind nothing but a silky quartz composite basin. The finish? Smooth, matte and subtly pearled for a hygienic, tactile feel. You can choose between pulse or continual cleaning modes via touch control, and let the sensor tap do the rest. The sink is sleek, black, and designed to slot in seamlessly with the rest of BORA’s pro-level kit. It’s smart, stylish and surprisingly satisfying to watch in action. Who knew washing up could be this enjoyable?

PERFECTLY PAIRED
Serious about your sauvignon and your syrah? The Haier Wine Bank 50 Dual Zone keeps both at their perfect sipping temps – without compromise. Boasting two independently controlled zones, you can store reds and whites side by side, just as they like it. Even better? It’s fully app controlled, so you can tweak temperatures from your phone. Anti-UV glass protects from light damage, while anti-vibration technology keeps your collection perfectly calm and undisturbed, while inside, beechwood shelving and soft LED lighting set a suitably elegant tone. Whether you’re ageing a bottle or just prepping for Friday night’s supper club, this is smart wine storage that looks as good as it performs. Cheers to that!

It’s all done automatically, keeping things calm and clear while you focus on what’s in the pan. You can even adjust the fan with a simple wave of the hand – ideal when yours are covered in olive oil. The matte black fi nish is effortlessly sleek, while intuitive touch controls and precision zones give you chef-level accuracy without the learning curve. It’s smart, minimalist tech, and part of Franke’s growing line-up of connected kitchen kit designed to make things smoother, sleeker, and smarter.

CLEAN SWEEP
In a kitchen that works hard, the Kärcher RCV 3 quietly keeps things in check. This compact robot vacuum doesn’t just hoover up crumbs – it also mops as it goes, making it ideal for wiping up spills and splashes mid-cook. It maps out your space, glides around fi xtures and furniture without drama, and switches between vacuuming and wiping automatically. Sleek and discreet, it blends into the background but earns its place in even the chicest design-led kitchens. Smart, efficient, and just the thing for keeping fl oors spotless while you focus on what’s happening at the hob.
