Cooking to impress this Valentine’s Day? Hisense cooking range has you covered.
Another year has gone within a blink and that romantic time of year is upon us again – whether you hate it or love it, Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to make someone feel special. Whether you’re planning on cooking for a loved one or family and friends, Hisense has all the tips and tricks to make cooking easier and tastier than ever before!
Let’s face it Valentine’s Day is much more romantic with a thoughtful meal at home. We’ve broken down the key features and blissful benefits of three of our latest cooking appliances, which are carefully designed to help make cooking in the kitchen more of a pleasure than a chore. We’ve even carefully selected several luxurious menu’s that will make your mouth water.
Induction Hob
We all know the stress of cooking everything at the right time. With the new 80cm induction hob you have extra surface space and a bridge zone meaning you can easily cook bigger and better dishes in a touch of a button. Selecting Bridge Zone allows you to bridge and control two cooking zones together, giving you total flexibility and fitting any size pan – perfect for when cooking a special meal for a special someone.
Heating up twice as fast as gas, induction hobs only heat the bottom of induction-specific pans, leaving the remaining hob surface cool and safe to touch. Temperature can be adjusted instantly, limiting the danger of boiling over. It makes creating temperature-sensitive masterpieces like a homemade sauce or melting chocolate for an indulgent dessert a simple task.
Gas Hob
Prefer Gas to electric? Don’t worry the 60cm Hisense Gas Hob has also been designed with max surface in mind, giving you an extra 20% more space to use. Every detail is designed to give you more usable surface, from the hob’s size to the position of controls.
Cooking for large parties this Valentines? The wok burner has a uniquely designed gas crown that heats the larger exterior surface area of a wok perfectly allowing you to cook more food, faster.
Pyrolytic Self-Cleaning Oven
Cleaning the oven – the thing we hate most! Enter the Pyrolytic Self-Cleaning Oven, making oven cleaning quick and effortless. The oven has been designed to remove stubborn oven grease with minimal effort by using 500°C heat to eliminate grime, cleaning the oven is now as simple as selecting the Pyrolytic Self-Clean function and wiping away any debris left behind with just a damp cloth. Less time cleaning means more time spent with family and friends – sounds good to us!
What’s more, the ‘Even Bake’ shape cooks every dish perfectly. Based on traditional wood-burning ovens, this rounded design ensures hot air circulates freely, heating food evenly so that everything you cook is perfectly done – crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside.
But what to cook do you say? We’ve put some menu ideas together that are sure to earn you those brownie points:
Seafood fans
Starter – Oysters with ginger Japanese dressing
Main – Angel hair pasta with lobster
Dessert – Passion fruit panna cotta
Making your dessert in advance, this sophisticated dish can be ready and on the table within 20-minutes – perfect for a romantic dinner date. Who doesn’t want to spend less time cooking and more time making memories?
