MISSISSAUGA, ON, If you've ever dreamed of simultaneously cooking two items at two different temperatures within the same oven to save time, your dream has just come true.
Samsung's newest electric range comes complete with Flex Duo technology that literally splits your oven in half when needed. The modern, freestanding electric range comes equipped with a removable divider, which not only prevents heat transfer from one cavity to another, but also firmly separates food aromas to ensure your cheesecake doesn't end up smelling (and tasting) like the chicken you're planning to serve as your entree.
"Flex Duo technology is an excellent solution for home chefs whose cooking time is becoming increasingly limited by longer commutes, greater household responsibilities and a desire to spend more quality time with family and friends," says Warner Doell, Vice President Sales & Marketing, Home Appliance Division, Samsung Electronics Canada.
The newest addition to Samsung's line up of appliances also includes a larger-than-normal 5.9 cu. ft. single cavity that's perfect for traditional holiday treats like turkeys, roasts, and multiple casserole dishes. Or, divide it in half and get 2.7 cu. ft. in the upper oven and 3.0 cu. ft. in the lower oven. And by using only half the oven for smaller meals, you reduce energy consumption by 35 per cent.
In addition, the range's Surround Airvection Fan circulates heat evenly throughout the oven, while the on-and-off fan control maintains the perfect temperature. Meanwhile, the Twin Display with wide-glass, touch-control menu makes it easy to control both ovens at a glance and its bright digital display makes for quick and easy reference.
The range also offers a warming drawer to keep recipes with shorter cooking times well heated, moist and flavourful while their complementing side dishes continue cooking in the other cavity. When you're not cooking, the warming drawer serves as an ideal storage area for the divider.
"It's really all about versatility and giving our customers options to prepare food on their own terms," says Doell. "The Flex Duo is exactly that — an appliance that allows home chefs to cook what they want, how they want and when they want."
Sticklers for cleanliness will love the Flex Duo's Steam Clean function that makes the oven spotless in just 20 minutes without the use of harsh chemicals or expensive cleaners.
The Samsung FE710DRS with Flex Duo technology is available at most major Canadian appliance retailers at an MSRP of $1,999.99.
