Bosch introduces the new Series 6 induction cooktops, bringing new convenience in a new design to the kitchen. With the PerfectFry Plus frying sensor, consumers can achieve optimal results in many dishes with over 11 selectable temperature levels. With the new favorites button, quick access can also be configured with two personal favorite functions. In addition, accessories that are precisely adapted to the size of the Flex zones make frying even more convenient. Michael Hegendörfer, Product Manager in the Surface Cooking & Ventilation Division, explains exactly which functions support consumers in their everyday cooking.

Siemens unveils the first IQ700 oven with automatic food recognition: Artificial intelligence makes baking, roasting and braising easier. At market launch, the networked appliance will be able to identify around 40 different dishes, and updates will steadily expand this number. All consumers have to do is put the dish in the oven, close the door and give a final "OK". Clemens Hepperle, Product Owner for Oven Cooking in the Europe region, explains in an interview exactly how this works.

With the new Series 6 & 8 washer dryers, BOSCH combines a dryer and washing machine with state-of-the-art technology. In this way, consumers not only save space, but also detergent, ironing effort and energy consumption. In addition, the extra-large washing drum offers space for up to 12kg of laundry, so that even families and households with a high volume of laundry can wash all their laundry in just a few wash cycles. Florian Zoellner, Product Owner in the Laundry Care division, explains in an interview how all this works with the help of automatic dosing and the Iron Assist program.

Stock up, have more fresh fruits and vegetables at home, shop only once a week. Siemens is teaming up with kitchen furniture manufacturers to help create space in built-in kitchens.

Siemens demonstrates smart solutions for the Intelligent Kitchen. The centerpiece of the Siemens booth is the Intelligent Kitchen: an environment which helps its users to optimize everyday tasks, enrich their lives and be more sustainable. It consists of an entire (eco-)system of appliances whose design interacts just as perfectly as their digital applications. Flexible control is possible via the Home Connect app or the Siemens Smart Kitchen Dock, just one of the many features that visitors to the trade fair will encounter at the live cooking shows this year.
