ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J.,
Dec. 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- LG
Electronics (LG) will reveal the next phase in the development of
the smart kitchen at CES® 2019. Partnerships will play a key role
in creating a better culinary experience, according to LG,
demonstrated by the company's partnership with Drop, the developer
behind the Drop KitchenOS platform. Better integration of kitchen
appliances, such as ovens, into the connected home will be a key
factor in making the smart kitchen more attractive to
consumers.
LG's agreement with Drop adds to the company's growing list of
smart kitchen partners, which also include Innit® and
SideChef. When the user selects a recipe through Drop, the platform
seamlessly informs LG appliances of the choice and automates
elements of the cooking process, such as automatically preheating
the oven or adjusting time, temperature and cooking mode based on
the recipe. With deeper collaboration with an expanded
offering of smart kitchen partners, LG's connected smart kitchen
collection of ovens, refrigerators and dishwashers will work
together to help simplify the task of food preparation as well as
meal cleanup.
To provide more flexible ways to connect to the wealth of smart
recipes available, LG's WK9 smart display wireless speaker
system is the ideal kitchen companion. The powerful "XBOOM" stereo
speaker with built-in AI ThinQ™ capability includes the convenience
of the Google Assistant for a pleasant, hands-free option while
cooking. The 8-inch touch screen can display thousands of smart
personalized recipes from smart kitchen platform services so
there's less reason to opt for eating out.
At CES 2019, LG also is introducing a revolutionary beer-making
machine, LG HomeBrew, to round out the smart kitchen portfolio that
also features the LG InstaView ThinQ refrigerator and LG QuadWash™
dishwasher. LG smart kitchen customers can enjoy a cold craft beer
while selecting recipes right from their refrigerator's embedded
screen. Once the right dish has been identified, the recipe can be
sent from the refrigerator to the oven which begins preheating to
the right temperature. After cooking the meal, the EasyClean™
feature in LG's combination wall oven removes any food residue that
might have splattered on the interior. Finally, the same smart
recipe will inform the LG QuadWash dishwasher of the optimal
setting to ensure spotless cleaning of the dishware and utensils
that were used to enjoy the delicious meal.
"Through partnerships that tap into today's more intelligent
kitchen appliances, we're able to deliver the smart kitchen
experience that customers have been asking for," said Dan Song, president of LG Home Appliance &
Air Solution Company. "Technology is making the kitchen more and
more complicated and our vision is to create an environment that is
welcoming and stress-free so that families can enjoy the optimal
culinary experience without having to eat out or order in."
Visitors to CES 2019 from January
8-11 will be able to experience the revolutionary LG
HomeBrew as well as lineup of Wi-Fi-enabled smart home appliances
at booth #11100 in the Las Vegas
Convention Center.
