Thermador, a veteran of luxury and high-end home kitchen appliances, is hoping to reach out to tech-savvy chefs with a host of new cooktops and ovens featuring its signature connected home technology. This is the most ambitious product launch in the company's 103-year history and encompasses complete redesigns of its Masterpiece and Professional collections.
Featured in the new line of Thermador appliances is the new Freedom Induction cooktop. This cooktop allows for six pots and pans anywhere on the surface, as the cooktop automatically detects the presence of cookware and transfers applicable settings when an item is moved to a new location.
The Thermador Masterpiece and Professional steam and speed ovens also received an upgrade. The convection offerings now have multiple presets, while the steam oven boasts a generous 2.5 cubic foot capacity.
